There is a very common preju-
dice against the toad. By many he
is looked on with lOathing and dis.
gust. He is regarded as an ugly,
uncouth and worthless nuisance,
that should be abated at sight. But
this prejudice is ill.founded and
unjust, as the toad is not only harm
less, but quite useful to farmers
and gardeners. They should, there
fore, be regarded as friends, instead
Of being treated as enemies. The
eggs of the toad are usually laid in
the water, but at times, when this
is not accessible, they are laid in
damp, dark places, and in such
cases they do not pass through the
tadpole state. While in the tad
pole state they live on vegetable
food, but as toads they live on in
sects, spiders, etc. They are ex-
ceedingly well adapted to catching,
having tongue of marvellous con-
struction. It is quite long, and
may be projected six or eight inches,
the tip Of ii being so directed as to
just reach the object, and being
covered with a viscid, gummy sub.
stance, that causes the insect to ad-
here to it, it is thus conveyed to the
mouth of the toad and buried alive
The movements Of the tongue in
thus taking in a fly or a bug are 50
rapid that they cannot be followed
by the eye. The number of insects
that a toad will eat is almost in.
credible. A few of them in a gar
den will keep it well rid of bugs,
plant lice, etc. They generally
spend the day in some dark, Sc
cluded spot, often a hole under.f
sod or clod, or the side of a rock
and in the evening they come out
and hop about in search of a sup
per of live insects. They may b,
induced to take up their residenct
in the garden by confning them 70
two or three days to the place, whel
they will become quite well con
tented. A board laid about tw,
inches from the ground is just tn
kind of a hiding place that suit
them. They are long-lived, beini
often known twelve to sixteen year
old and it is said that one lived t
be thirty-six years old. On accoun
of their propensity for destroyin
insects, toadS should be encourage
to become permanent residents {
our fields and gardens.

lost to all sense of honor and self
respect, for with shuffling move
ments he emulated the example Of
our common mother, plucked and
ate the fruit, scooped out the gum
drops and peanuts with a sly wink
at his nephew, who was looking
with anxiety at the proceedings. But
in the last mouthful the majestic
beast took in the ammonia bottle
by mistake, the cork came out, and
about an ounce of hartshorn ran
down the throat Of the beast. This
beverage is said to have a reviving
and stimulating influence, and in
this case it proved its power, for u
more revived elephant was never
seen on earth. The big elephant
has learned a lesson in morals
which will probably induce him to
let other peoples pockets alone,
though nobody dares to carry a
bottle within range of his proboscs,

Washington Capital

Washington Capitall
The old lady got, after a time, to
have that most terrible of all
things, a grievance. She would
hold us by the hour on that mex
haustible subject.
One night, at charming party
given by Mrs. Carlisle, we found
ourselves, with Nine LIE Vert on our
arm, being made acquainted with
that grievance. We happened to
pass the Spanish minister, then
Admiral Polo, who was leaning
gracefully against the wall.
"Is not that the Spanish minis.
ter?" asked my companion.
ct il"
i" Do you know him well enough
to present me?"
"Know him2 Do l lcok like a
man who did not know the Spanish
minister? Of course | will pre-
sent YOU"
Now, we had never exchanged q
word with this diplomatic gentle
man, but we were desperate, and
so, marching up, we said
" Admiral Polo, permit me to
introduce you to my dear friend,
Nine LIE Vert"
at gratilies me, madame, to
make your acquaintance" And
then, after a slight pause, in which
he eyed us, he added A" And now,
madame, will you be SO good as to
introduce your escort 2"
This was such q cool piece f..di-
plomatic impudence that, before
Nine LIE Vert could answer, we
said:
Why, Admiral, don't you re.
member me? am Colonel Casey
brother-in-law to the government
Poor Nine LIE Vert gazed at III
both, in mute astonishment, bu
soon was chatting with his diplo
matte excellency in Spanish.

SuperaIItions OF RAvnrian Peas.
Bnlry,

A great number Of the peasants
unfortunately enter tain the super
Stitious noticn that fire kindled by
lightning is not to be extinguiShed.
When such an accident happens
they are discouraged, and do hardly
anything to check the progress Of
the flames. A funeral must never
pass through "a titled field, not even
in winter, though it might consid.
erably shorten the way. The peas
ant is fully persuaded that y field
through which a funeral has passed
becomes barren. Except on cxtraor-
dinary occasions, no funerals are
allowed on Mondays and Fridays.
A peasant who is in search of a
wife, never goes except on a Thurs
day or Sunday,into the house where
he expects to make his choice, The
bride and bridegroom are not to
give their bare hand TO anybody on
tho day of their marriage except to
each other at the altar: otherwise
they are threatened with poverty
during the whole course Of their
union. 1t is also q very bad sign
if, when the bride returns from
church, she finds anybody on the
threshold Of her door. When {
young girl finds a leaf trefOil di
vided into four instead of three
parts it is q sign that she will b.
married within a year; at all evont
she carefully preserves this leaf til
her wedding-day. On Christina
eve the countrymen are accustomed
to drive out a great deal in sledges
they think that this will cause thei
hemp to be more abundant ant

mas. They never destroy crickets
by fire, being persuaded that those
which escape will destroy THEN linen

way in the wood after sunset he
avoids calling any person to show
him the way, being convinced that
in any case the evil spirit of the
forest would cause him to plunge
still deeper into it3 reoeiscs.

She wore one Of those pockets
behind, in which, besides her hand
kerchief, she had deposited an
apple, a handful of peanuts, quar-

triaes. She and her swain, after
admiring the complexion of the

upon him to watch the monkeys

into each others eyes; to do this
better they leaned back against the

st. Loui, Journsl.l

st. Louis Journal.l
The twice.married and consider.
ably divorced queen of English
comic opera, Mime Alice Oates, has
been attracting much attention Of
late by her movements toward
several prospective matrimonial alli-
ances. The fascinating prima donna
seems to be particularly partial to
st. Louis in her engagements, as
several prominent young men Of
this city have recently been brought
into notoriety through her charms.
When Nine Alice Oates was filing
her last engagement in this city,
some months ago, her beauty and
vivacity struck the heart of a very
exemplary young man named
Johnny Blow, son Of the Hon.
Henry T. Blow, who became SO
fearfully smitten as to follow her to
Cincinnati, and it is reported, made
her presents of diamonds and costly
iewelry. 1t is also whispered that
he offered her a span of horses
worth $500, which she refused.
When Nine Oates went to New
York Johnny was not far behind,
and the Sun says he showed every
evidence Of strict loyalty to his fair
inamorata, being her escort
wherever she went, and her most
devoted follower. We fear that
Johnny, usually fortunate in every
thing he undertakes, has struck a
cold trail this time, as it is well
known here that Mime Alice Oates
has for more than year been en-
gagged to a young Anglo-German
actor, who is at present playing in
Chicago. This actor first met the
prima dona in San Francisco, where
both were leading attractions. The
same old story was repeated, and an
engagement matrimonial was en-,
tered into.
During Nine Oates engagement
at the Olympic Theater, in this
city-the time when Johnny Blow
saw and was conquered-it wal
agreed between the actor and the
prima donna that their marriage
should take place at the close o.
the season Of 1878. The actor sub
sequently informed the writer tha
it was his intention, at the close Of
this season, to make a tour t.
Europe, returning to be chief mar
at comic opera wedding. On,
thing is absolutely certain: If Mr.
Blow, is Succeedingin his courtship
then a young actor carries his hear
in a sling, and Nine Alice Oates i
in an unenyiable position. He
refusal to accept the offer of 6
$500 team, however, would seen
to indicate that Johnny has beef
wasting his time and money. See
ing this, he has returned to st
Louis a sadder, but wiser man.
