A QUEER ANIMAL.
Ptealtar Toadllke Creatar That la
Poaad la Sartaaaa,
In Surinam there U a remarkable
toadlike creature tbe female of which
carries the young In a series of cells
In tbe thick akin of the back, which as
sumes a strange honeycomb-like ap
pearance. When this lady toad Is car
rying ber nursery about with her she Is
a very repulsive looking object Single
Ynded she would be quite unable to
.ope with the Important question of
placing eggjs where they will be most
favorably disposed for hatching, and
for this she has to rely on the good
services of her mate. Soon after the
eggs are laid they are taken up by the
male and pressed, one by one. Into the
cells In the thickened skin of his part
ner's back. There they grow until they
fit closely to tbe hexagonal form of
their prisons, each of wlfch Is closed
above by a kind of trapdoor.
After a period of some eighty-two
days the eggs reach their full develop
ment and produce, not tadpoles, but
actually perfect little toads. The rea
son of tills is that the tadpoles, which
require to breathe tbe air dissolved In
the water by means of their external
gills, could not exist In the cells, n.id
consequently this stage of development
Is passed through ve)- rapidly within
the egg. In due time the young toads
to the number of 80 or 100 burst open
the lids of their cells, poke out their
noses and make their entrance Into the
world. The mother toad rubs off the
remains of tbe cells against any con
venient stone or plant stem nnd comes
out in a brand new spring outfit.
"HIS HIGH MIGHTINESS."
Oa of tha Titles Proposed For the
First Presldeat.
One of the embarrassments of the
new office of president was in regard
to title bow the chief magistrate of
the United 8tates should be addressed.
Tbe subject had occupied the attention
of congress, and a Joint committee
from the two houses bad been unable
to agree. The newspapers had taken
the matter up and discussed it freely.
With some "his excellency" was
thought the proper caper, others wished
a longer and higher sounding title, and
not a few favored the appellation giv
en to rulers In Holland "high mighti
ness." It was finally deckled to the
satisfaction of all parties that Wash
ington should be called simply the pres-;
ident of the United States. I
While these controversies were at
white heat Speaker Mublenburg was
one day at a dinner given in honor of
Washington and was asked by the
president elect what he thought of the
title of "high mightiness."
"Why, general," replied Mublenburg,
laughing, "If v.e were certain that the
office would always be held by men as
large as yourself or my friend Wyn
koop (a large sized gentleman from
Pennsylvania sitting at the table) It
would be appropriate enough, but If by
chance a president as small as my op
posite neighbor should be elected it
would become ridiculous." Washing

Frieadshlp Anong Fishes.
The sea cucumber, with long body
and mouth fringed with tentacles In a
feathery circle, gives lodgings to small
er forms, which have been called its
messmates, which actually live within
its body and swim In and out at will,
thus finding a welcome shelter and also
feeding on the half digested food of
their hosts. In similar way sea anemo
nes, attached to a rock and furnished
with a circle of feelers or tentacles,
with which they catch and hold their
food, make friends with little fishes
which swim fearlessly within their
grasp and are constantly Infolded for a
few momenta in what to the prey of the
anemone would be a living tomb, but
very soon the tentacles unclose and al
low the playful little prisoner to escape
at will. In similar fashion fish have
been seen living nnd sporting within
the arms of tropical starfish.
A Curious Oath,
The following curious oath was until
recent years administered In the courts
of the Isle of Sinn: "By this book, nnd
by the holy contents thereof, nnd by
the wonderful works that Ood has mi
raculously wrought In heaven above
nnd in the earth beneath In six dnys
nnd seven nights, I do swear that f
will, without respect of favor or friend
ship, love or gain, consanguinity or af
finity, envy or malice, execute the laws
of this Isle nnd between party and par
ty as Indifferently as the herring's
backbone doth lie In the middle of tbe
fish."
The Bright Spots.
No man knows his strength or his
weakness till occasion proves them. If
there be somo thoughts and actions of
bis life from the memory of which a
man shrinks with shame, surely there
are some which be may be proud to
own and remember forgiven injuries,
conquered temptations (now and then)
and difficulties vanquished by endur
ance. Friendship.
Don't flatter yourselves that friend
ship authorizes you to 'ay disagreea
ble things to your Intimates. On the
coutrnry, the nearer you come Into re
lation with n person the more necessary
do tact and courtesy become. Except
In cases of necessity, which lire rare,
leave your friend to learn unpleasant
truths from his enemies.

COUNTY FUND ON INTE11FST.
No Perce County Now Dmws Four
Per Cent on Idle Money.
N'ez Perce county, Idnho, now draws
4 per cent Interest on the Idle funds In
the hands of the county treasurer.
Such a plan of disposing of Idle coun
ty money Is being agitated in Umatilla
county arid it is probable that the
next treasurer will be elected on this
plan.
The Lewiston Teller, In speaking of
the change from the old to the new
law. In Noz Perce county, says:
The county treasurer has on hand
today approximately $145,000. The
money Is all or practically all In the
Lewiston National bank and the Idaho
Trust Company hank. It is deposited
In accordance with the old law, and Is
not di awing Interest.
During the next two or three days
a number of large warrants will be
paid by the treasurer. He estimates
that after the stnte, city of Lewiston,
N'ei! Perce, several school districts and
a number of other funds are paid,
thero will still be on hand about IS0.
000. This money will be turned over
to the banks In proportion to the bonds
they have furnished, and will com
mence to draw Interest at 4 per cent
as soon as the treasurer turns It over.
Treasurer Schultz was seen this
morning by a Teller representative,
and asked to state when or approxi
mately when he would turn over the
ii.oney In a manner that would allow
It to draw Interest. He refused to set
a time, but stated that he knew ;io
reason why It should not be turned
over very soon.
