A REMARKABLE TOAD STORY comes
from Acton, Canada. A pine log was be-
ing sawed up into lumber the outside slab
and one board had been cut of, and the
workmen were turning over the log, when
they were surprised to see large toad poke
his head out of hole in which he was en-
bedded, and where he had barely escaped
being cut up by the saw. How the stranger
got there was q mystery, as he was com
pletely encased in the wood, with no pos
sible means of ingress or egress. AS the
log was the fourth or fifth from tho butt of
the tree, his position must have been at
least fifty or sixty feet from tho ground,
and he had, no doubt, grown up with it
from infancy, being probably hundreds of
years old. The animal was quite fiat, and
nearly as large as mans hand. lilo was
perfectly blind, but when taken from his
bed, he made use of his limbs 10 crawl
away. The tree was perfectly sound, with
the exception Of a decayed spot Of about a
foot in length below the hollow place in
which he was imbeddod. How did he get
there, and what did lie live on2

threat of reaction against the settlements

We hope all who have animals to care for

many barns will there be suffering this

HEAT FOR House PLANTs.-Most of our
plants are injured by too much heat. For
a general collection OF house plants, it is
not best 10 allow the thermometer to be
above seventy, and If they could be kept
In room where the thermometer would
usually not range much above sixty We il
would be better. In the night time fifty is
high enough. Give little fresh air every
fine day, and all the sunlight attainable.
An effort should be made 10 give moisture
to the atmosphere, for our own good, as
well as the health OF the plants. This can
be done in various ways by evaporating
water; but when plants are in a separate
apartment, like little greenhouse, it can
be done more conveniently and efIectually,
although this separate apartment he only a
bay window, with glass doors, separating
il from the living room. In this, water
can be used freely, by sprinkling, etc., and
a moist atmosphere preserved. The tenn
perature, with this arrangement, can be
kept lower than would be comfortable in
the living room, and the plants are saved
from dust and many evils which generally
prove too much for the plants.- VickS

Many animals show vanity; indeed, few
OF the feathered creation are there that
don't show the appreciation of their own
good looks, and doubtless they compassion
ate correspondingly their less snowy neigh
bors. Jealousy is very prevailing pas
sion In animals, particularly in such as
have been accustomed TO be petted and
caressed; for considering these tokens as
their exclusive right, they show serious
displeasure when their owners bestow any
mark of attention toward other creatures.
This is habitual TO parrots, which scream
with rage and attempt TO fly at the individ-
ual whom the person they are attached TO
may happen to carcss; and should the at
tention be shown 10 one of their own spo-
cies, their anger knows no bounds.
One, in the authors possession, deliber-
ately left its perch on such an occasion,
and ascending that of its smaller rival, de-
stroyed it before assistance could arrive,
and screamed and crowed with exultation.
Monkeys are also extremely jealous of each
other as well as of individuals; an orang-
outang in Paris, when i'll and lying on the
knees of its keeper, would allow no one
aud particularly children to approach him.
But pride is not so commonly displayed.
A gentleman travelling in England had a
letter of introduction to person of some
distinction whose whole estate was in ex-
cellent keeping. Among other fine ami
mails shown him was fine white COW, and
this creature, he was told, was the very
| personification of pride. AS though sh
considered herself of pure blue blood, she
claimed precedence in all cases she al
ways went ahead of her herd, the best bit
of pasture was her exclusive domain, on
which no other burst intrude. So far did
she carry her pretensions, that If any of the
other cows entered the stable before her
she would refuse 10 enter.
Anxious TO SEQ this with his own eyes
he desired TO be taken TO her stable at eve
ming. The man, instructed how to act,
drove in some of the other cows. The white
COW drew up; not only did she refuse Ia
advance, in spite of all encouraging words
but her whole frame swelled with anger
and offended dignity. She kept lowing
continually. At last the cows within, as
though conscious that they lad forgotten
their place, began to come out, and, as they
were driven out, tho proud white, with an
| evident air of gratitied pride, strobe in IN
state. 1t is almost impossible TO convey
the impression produced by this eAhibi.
ton Of downright pride. Hidalgo pride

A farmers wife writes a bit OF sound
sense to a newspaper when she says that
many of the women who complain so sore
ly of their domestic labor would find their
burden lightened immensely, If they and
each member of their families would but
put everything they use in its place the
moment they are done with IT. A good
many people besides farmers wives would
profit by laying this advice TO heart. OBJ
servation of the domestic habits of many
households has taught us that not having a
definite place for everything used in daily
life, or neglecting TO replace things Oh their
proper nail or shelf, wastes more Time and
sours more tempers than all other causes
combined. There should be "A place for
every dish and implement used in the
kitchen for the scissors, thread needl es
and all materials for sewing, and II Is
an easy thing to train oneself and children
to careful and tidy habits about clothes.
We should not make the allowance for the
dsorderly ways of men that the writor al
luded TO does. She appears to have given
them up as hopelessly careless and pro-
voklng; but there Is no excuse for the
them, losses aside his boots for his tired
wife to pick up; reads the paper and
throws 1t wide open upon the floor, and
strews his soiled linen about his sleeping
room. 1t is hot only thoughtless TO add so
much to the housewives cares aud labors,
but II is selfish aud unkind. Every one
knows the difference between the guest
who takes books from their shelves and
scatters them all over the house, borrows
thimble and scissors and carries them Off
them through the house after her depart
ure, and the careful, observant person who
is no more priggish than the other, but
who puts things in their right places. The
one rasps our nerves and temper, aud the
other fits deity into household ways, and
causes us to mourn her departure. The
same lack of order Is observable in the
frequenters OF reading-rooms. One will
leave every paper and pamphlet he touches
askew and 10 tumble, perhaps carried to
another table than the one TO which it be-
longs, while second reader will leave the
table in as good order as he found 1t, and
tighten the tasks of the librarian by a hab-
1t that costs him nothing at all. Women
should see to it that their children, boys as
well as girls, form orderly habits in child
hood, and they will never forget them. In
this matter, and in all others, example is
worth more than precept.-Pr0Uidence
