A USEFUL REPTILE.-Not only are
toads harmless, but they are absolutely
and directly useful to us, FORMULATING
our fields and gardens at night and de-
vouring vast quantities of injurious in
sects which could never he destroyed by
the hand of man. The mode in which
toad takes its prey is very curious
The singularly beautiful eye of the toad
is as quick as it is bright, and if within
the range of its vision an insect or grub
should happen to move, the toad is sure
TO see it, and nearly certain to catch it.
First, the toad holds its head as high as
possible, so as to make sure of its prey,
and then crawls slowly toward it, prefer
ing to get under it if possible. When it
isnearly within reach it gazes intently
at the insect, its mouth being gradually
brought nearer and nearer Something
pink then flashes from its mouth, and the
insect vaaishes as if by magic. The pink
flash is the tongue of the toad, which is
formed in rather curious way. The
base of the tongue is fixed close to the
front of the lower jaw, and is long and
tapering, the tip pointing down the throat
when it is at rest. When, however, it is
used for catching prey, it is thrown out
with sort of flick" and the tip which
is covered with a glutinous secretion,
adheres to the insect and conveys ii down
the toad's throat before the prey has
time to make an effort for escape When
the toad swallows its prey, it does it
with mighty effort, during which the
eyes almost disappear, the size of the an
imal having little to do with the vehe-
mence of the demonstration. When a
large beetle is swallowed it does struggle
but too late, and for some time its strug-
giles may be seen through the thin and
ribless sides of its capturer the toad
sitting the while in perfect composure,
not in the least affected by the scratch
ings and kickings that are going on its
interior. Indeed, the stomach of the
toad seems as devoid of feeling as if it
were iron. Moreover. the toad not only
cares nothing for the scratchings and
kickings of large beetle, but is equally
Indifferent to the stings of wasps, bees
and insects similarly armed with venom
Gus weapons, and will eat them with
marvellous appetite, as if the singing
acted as a sort of gentle aid to the diges-
ton, like cayenne pepper with cucumber.

The AGE GIRLS SHOULD MARRY
AS a rule, no girl ought to marry under
twenty-one years of age, and twenty five
is quite young enough. Before she is
twenty-one years OF age, any marriage
should be looked upon with disfavor.-
But after this age, girls who have been
properly educated, are quite apt to know
what they desire in man for husband
as their parents, and unreasonable oppo-
sition is as foolish as it is unkind. IL is
very rare, indeed, that pair of young
people, however ardent their affection.
VIII persist in ignoring the plea of their
friends :" to wait" if only kind and
sincere interest is manifested in their
welfare. The ordinary way, in which
parents and guardians treat the love at.
fairs of those under their charge, is most
reprehensible. Instead of being treated
IN a serious and sensible manner. as BELTS
serious things, they are rather regarded
as comic amusements. Young men would
have the courage to act manly, instead
OF like sticks, and young women more
womanly, without that inevitable gig
gle, if older people only simulated
them by example.

A dealer in fertilizers, down in Alaba-
ma, Dragging of his guano, says that a
farmer recently put sample of it into
his pocket, in which there happened to
be carpet tack, and started home on
horseback. Before reaching his home
his steed broke down, and the farmer
was at loss to discover the cause until
he found that the carpet tack had grown
to bar of railway iron.

Best Joke Of the Season.

The melon-cholly days are come,
the saddest of the year" At least
so thought some of the boys last
Monday evening. For some time
past the boys haze been playing
tricks on Cal Worries, such as
stealing melons from him which he
had bought and laid away in his
store. Cal thought OF a plan by
which he might get even with them.
On Monday he,bought a nice melon
and injected . solution of tartar
emetic into it and let it lay around
where. they could get hold of it. IL {
thing worked like 3 charm. Some
fellow stole IT and hid it IN the sta
BILE back of DIR. Raifi's Drug Store.
The hostler at the Empire finding it
took it into the store, as we were
told, where he. DIR. Raft and clerk,
and two others made way with it
in good style. They then joked
Cal. on losing his melon, who took
it coolly waiting for the effects. 1t
wasn't long however, until they
''did'nt feel so WE'LL" and began to
cast anchor pretty lively. A sicker
set of fellows have not been seen
in this town for some time. DR..
Pomerene's services were called in
requisition, who soon brought them
up standing. - -s e
