FUNNY TOADS.
r the Story or a Teraclona Pcan.
sylvanlan Can Be Believed.
"No one knows the funny things
toads will do," said, a leading citizen
of Hawley, Pa. "On a recent cloudy
day, after a hard rain, there was u
cool breeze blowing. I was looking
over my garden when I heard a pe
culiar sound. Looking in the direc
tion from which it came I saw two
loads in an open space in the garden.
One was quite large, and the other
w:is at least a third smaller. They
were both standing on their hind
feet facing each other. The large
toad had its forefeet one on each of
the smaller toad's shoulders. The
small toad had his left forefoot on
the large one's right leg. As they
stood in that way they uttered strange
guttural sounds, as if they were dis
cussing sonw subject between them
selves. Suddenly the small toad
thrust his right "forefoot, or hand,
against the large one's stomach, and
the next instant the latter threw tho
former to the ground, and a lively
wrestle was going on. During the
struggle on the ground the skins ol
both toads burst open on the back,
and I supposed 1 was about to see
the interesting process of toads tak
ing oir their old coats, rolling them
up in little balls, arid swallowing
them, as naturalists say they do. I
did witness the process of shedding
the skin, but something much more
singular than the swallowing incident
then occurred. As I said, the day
was quite raw and cold, and after the
toads had rubbed their skins in a
comical way toward their heads until
they had both pulled themselves
clear of them, each one began to
shiver very jerceptibly with the cold.
Suddenly the small toad hopped
quickly to where the skin of the big
one la-, and, picking it up in his
mouth, hopped away several feet.
The big toad looked after the purloiner
of his cast-off clothing, and gave two
or three appealing croaks, but made
no effort to recapture the stolen
goods. When the small toad saw
that he was not followed, he deliber
ately set to work to don the skin he
had taken. It took him some time
to do it, but he finally accomplished
his purpose, and went masquerading
around in the misfit garments ex
actly like a clown in a circus wear
ing the big, baggy costume that some
of them appear in. The little fellow
seemed to enjoy the novelty of the
situation, and hopped around the
large toad in wljat must have been a
most tantalizing manner. The big
toad was shivering like a person
chilled through and through, and by
and by picked up the skin of the
small toad and began to force it on
his body. The process was a diffi
cult one, but after several minutes of
unceasing effort he stood habilitated
in the cast-off garments of his dimin
utive companion. If the effect of the
big skin on the little toad had been
comical, that of the little skin on the
big toad was much more so. The
sleeves of the coat, so to speak, only
came half-way down the arms, and
the legs of the trousers covered the
frog's legs as though they had been
Knickerbockers. The body of the
garment was so tight that the toad
could not work either his legs or his
arms, and he stood there the picture
of comical despair. Bj and bv he
began to swell himself up, and'that
apparently stretched the tight ap
parel, for he was able to move away
slowly. He followed the small toad
into the bushes in a dignified man
ner and both disappeared. "What
the outcome of this curious exchange
of clothing was I never knew." rN.

Paris engineers are discussing plans
for a monument to be 1,180 feet high,
with a single electric light of such in
tensity as to turn night into day over
the whole city and suburbs.
Buck, the inventor of the "Water
bury watch, has built an engine so
small that, with boiler, governor and
pumps, it would stand on a gold
dollar.
The pressure sufficient to rupture a
blood-veEsel is much greater than
that to which they aro ordinarily sub
jected. The carotid artery of a dog
required from thirty-five to fifty-five
times the normal pressure of the
blood, and the jugular vein from
thirty-two to thirty-five times.
That old device of novel and
drama, a blotting pad that retains an
impression of a missing document,
has actually turned up as evidence in
a real California lawsuit.
Euechi, the Berno anatomist, has
made a brain niodel of gigantic size
for an American museum. It is
about four feet in height by two and a
half in width, and shows the intricate
mechanism of the brain in detail.
An ingenious burglar's ladder was
recently taken from a negro thief in
Washington. It was constructed of
light but strong rope, and at one end
had two sharp hooks fitted to fasten
on a window sill. These were at
tached to an iron rod capable of being
extended thirty or forty feet. The
whole could be wrapped in a bundle
about the size of an ordinary um
brella. As the apparatus had a
hooked handle, and was inclosed in
a case, the owner could carrv it along
the streets without attracting atten
tion, while in two minutes it could be
turned into a rope-ladder and securely
fastened to an unbolted window, giv
ing a burglar easy means of entrance
to a house.

' "My dear nephews and nieces, you
' charming inhabitants of glass houses,
don't throw any more stones."
"Why, Uncle Phil, you don't mean
; to say that we speak incorrectly?"
1 Uncle Phil shoved his spectacles
up to the middle of his forehead, and
proceeded as follews:
"It's all very well for you self
sufficient graduates of colleges and
seminaries to find fault when Uncle
Joshuawantathewell-bucket'h'isted,'
when Debby 'renses' the clothes,
Aunt Maria 'ketches' cold, Coachman
John 'doctors' Dobbin's 'huff,' Pete
feeds the 'creeturs,' the cook 'biles
tho cramberries,' Bridget asks for
'jolup,' Farmer Grey 'reckons' its
'ruthcr cold for plantin' but concludes
to 'resk' it"
"Now, Uncle Phil, you know wo
were not talking about such mistakes.
It was when Annie Hughes asked
the clerk for 'these kind of gloves,'
and then informed us that Dr. Burton
always preached 'erteni-pore,' that
May and I began to wonder how
people who pretended to be educated
could be guilty of such blunders."
"That's nothing, girls" this from
Jack, a graduate of Harvard "I
asked one of the teachers at the
High School, this morning, if he
ever played base ball, and he said he
'used tocould.' Fancy that I"
Uncle Phil looked severely down
upon tho group of critics assembled
in front of the fire.
"So you really think, young peo
ple, that you are exempt from the
weakness of misusing the English
language. What will you say if 1 call
attention to no less than six mistakes
made by you three, in utter uncon
sciousness, since you entered this
room this morning."
"Try it, uncle, try it. "We haven't
been studying rhetoric and grammar
this last four years for nothing. Re
member, you are to find six mistakes
made by the three of us within three
hours."
"Ahem!"
Uncle Phil indulged in something
that was almost but quite a wink, as
he looked at Jack.
"We'll begin with you, Jack. First :
'This last four vears.' "
"Oh! that's too mean."
"Is it? Then I won't call atten
tion to 'the three of us.' "
"You mean, uncle, that Jack
should have said 'these last four
years,' and 'us three?' "
"I do, my dear. "And I also have
in mind a young lady who criticized
her friend's way of asking for gloves,
and that, when she handed me an
orange, asked me to 'cut it in half.' "
"I should havo said, in halves!"
"Yes. or 'in two.' One canscarcely
cut a thing in one-half."
"What else did I say?"
"Well: Whose dress was to be
trimmed 'lengthways' instead ol
'lengthwise?' Who discovered that
it was very cold last 'Feb'uary, and
not last 'February?' Of whose class
at Sunday-school did I hear that
'every one was to have their and not
his or her reward?' "
"Stop, uncle." That is three for
me, and of the six mistakes you have
only left one for May."
"Perhaps I haven't made any."
"Undo Phil smiled.
"Where did you go this morning,
Mav?"
"To the depot."
"Ah! Do yon know that depot is
a French word, and means simply
store-house, or place of deposit, and
has nothing whatever to do with a
structure for the shelter of passen
gers, built at points where a railroad
train stops? You never hear the
word depot used in any such con
nection in England. Our language
supplies the word 'station,' or 'station
house,' and only a very cultivated
t?) American wlio prefers a foreign
language he doesn't understand tc
lib own better-supplied tongue, would
ever replace it by a French word thai
is entirely a misnomer."
"I wonder how many more mis
takes are current among us, Uncle
Phil?"
"I won't call your attention to any
more to-day. Think over these, and
I'll see how many more I find you
guilty of some other time." Mary
E. Vandyne, in Good Cheer.

"James, did you divide your paper
of chocolate with your brother?"
"Yes, certainly, mamma; I ate tho
chocolate and gave him the motto
he is fond of reading, you know."
A little girl, aged 3, asked her
father for more candy, but was told
to wait until to-morrow. Looking
out of the window for a few moments,
she suddenly called eut: "Pa, it
looks like to-morrow now."
"Freddie, did vou go to school to
day?" "Yes'm"." "Did vou learn
anything new?" "Yes'm." "What
was it, my boy?" "I got on to a
sure way of gettin' out for an hour by
snuffing red ink up my nose."
"You did not pay very close atten
tion to the sermon, I fear, this morn
inff." "Oh, yes, I did mamma."
"Well, what did the minister say ? "
' "He said that the picnic would start
at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, and,
