At 10 O'Clock a boot-black stood at the
south door of the PDstoffice IN Detroit
looking across Lsrned street. 4 woman
came out of the Office and banged the door
against his head and back and heels and
lifted him clear off the steps by the con-
cussion-
Il don't care-you had no business
there" she snapped as he picked himself
up.
Say, that was real mean," he SAID, as
he rubbed his head.
.'Well, then, keep away from the
doors"
II was goin' t. Alake you a Christmas
present, he remai ked as he followed her
up Larned street.
Il don't want any,"
"Yes, was goin' to buy you a fifty
pound sack of flour and put it in yer
stockin'"
Il don't care I"
That's what was goin' to do. but I've
concluded not to. Yer see, it would slip
down into the foot of your stockIn' an fit
so clus that We couldn't git it out without
buildin' a stagin' an hirln' carpenters an
goin' to more trouble than the flour was
worth !"
She gave him one awful look and he fell
back, but she had no sooner turned the
corner than she halted before a window for
no o.her purpose than to get a sly look at
her feet and see If tney had swelled any
since she left home.

The Toad

II has been demonstrated that the toad
is highly veDomous. Dogs and other ami
mails inoculated with toad poison have
soon died. A boy in Paris accidentally
seized a toad, recei ed the poison through
a wound in his hand, and in spite OF the
best medical assistance, shortly after died
This poison exudes through the skin OF the
back when the animal is violently molested,
and is the only defence it has against It's
numerous foes, for it cannot bite ike the
snake, nor bound out of sight In single
spring like the frog. A toad might De
handled a thousand times without Ill re-
suits, since it is necessary condition tina;
the skin of the hand should be broken 10
afford the liquid poison iDgress to the
veins; vet considering what has been
proved by patient investigation, it is not
unimportant to warn all, but particularly
boys, who are So oft n inclined TO emulate
/ each other in clever feats, not to make a
plaything or pet of the toad, nor, on the
other hand, to ill-treat it, but simply TO
let it alone. Dogs froth at the mouth when
encouraged to worry toad, and cats, 1t Is
said can never be got TO touch them. Ihe
poison has been proved by recent expert
ment to be exceedingly active, and no one
can be too careful in avoiding contact with
/ il. At the same time the creature Is per-
! fectly harmless when not meddled with,
and useful as a destroyer OF insects. When
it is ov, rtaken in the lane, or on the foot
path, il will always show the greatest hum
bleness and respect; it will hobble away
out of sight as last as it can, and give you
all the road to pass. The eye is the only
part of the toad that can be called beautl-
full. but is seldom observed. The lustrous
eye is unquestionably jewel of rare valne,
and it is the only attractive feature that
the toad is endowed with to compensate
for Its general Lgliness.

How to Hang Thermometers.

In the first place the temperature of the
wall of any building, at any hour of the
night or day, is not the true temperature
of the circulating air and IS of no use to
science A wood wall radiates its heat
more rapidly than brick or a stone, and
the amateur scientist who hangs his ther-
mometer on a wood wall can force his
mercury down below the amateur who
selects brick wall. The proper way to
expose your thermometer is to surround it
with a light wood frame covered with stats,
like shutter work, and rooted over. This
Will protect it from the direct rays of the
sun and reflected heat. Run a light wood
bar across the centre of your instrument
shelter, to which you can attache ther-
mometers, which should be, when properly
exposed, on the north side of the building
and the Thermometer at least one foot from
all objects. If these directions are followed
erroneous reports of extreme cold weather
will not find their way into print so often.
1t is not a very funny thing for the press
to report % deg. below zero when Is deg.
represented the true temperature of the
circulating air. 1t gives persons a wrong
impression of your climate.

The atlantic Coast Pilot" published
by the United States Coast Surveys ex-
plains the origin of the curious deep holes
met with along the New Jersey coast,
some distance out at sea- OF these mud
holes, as they are termed, nine are known
to navIgators, the deepest and furthest out
being the 145 fathom hole, So miles south
east of Sandy Hook light vessel. These
remarkable depresslons, as the pilot
points out, bear the appearance OF having
been originally a continuation OF the Hud-
son river valley. They were in all proba-
bility scoopei out by the river being forced
to run in narrow gorges. Several OF these
can still be traced running almost parallel
with the New Jersey shore line. In fact
the soundings along the coast seem to in
dicate that the whole coast line, ages ago,
was many miles eastward of It's position
to-day and then the Hudson rIver enter
ed the ocean at least 100 miles southeast
of its present mouth, and that the whole
continent has since subsidized, the sea en-
croaching further and further inland asthe
country gradually sank.

STORIES.

Cap. v, OF Yankee Fork, began to tell
about the lakes and fish Of the LemhI cOun-
try. He told of Ice lakes in the Middle
Fork in which were trout weighing from
twenty five to fifty pounds. Then he told
about the reddish lakes. SAID he: There
is something i'll this reddish business that
astonishes me. At a certain day in the
early spring they leave the Pacific Ocean,
and travelling up the Columbia River with
out halt turn up the Salmon River, anu
never turn TO the right or left till they reach
Reddish Greek. in Lemhl County. They
form fOurs at the mouth of that creek ami
march up to the lakes, where the boys and
bears have high old time on fish for the
summer.
The bears, What do you meant"
''Why, mean just what 1 say. A sal
mon river man never thinks of tisbing with
a hook, line, or spear. We make the bears
do our fishing up there, you bet. By care
fully studying the habits of brIIin We lind
thai in the summer season, from O'Clock
TIL Z IN the morning, he is busily engaged
fishing. The way bears fish up our way is
this: Eight or ten bears will SIT In row On
Iltfie In the river; the bear in the middle
by quick motion of the right paw, pulls
the tish out OF the water; he then throws II
to the bear next HIM, and II Is thus passed
one to the other until it is thrown on the
bank. They throw the fish to each other
like you See men pass brick Well, all
we've got to do is TO just go along quietly,
sack the fish as fast rs the bears throw then
out on the BANK, and go of about our bust
ness. Maybe you don't think bears art
suspiciousf I've seen eight bears jump tins

A Raft Among Breakers.

Mr.. Tornado Raft has recovered from
his injuries. The way he got hurt was
this: Mr.. Raft wss appointed by certain
uptown missionary society TO investigate
the theatre and see if 1t is really wicked
thing. He came TO Boston and called ON
a manager and expressed his business, and
the manager told him he was at liberty to
go behind the scenes of his theatre and
witness how things were done. Mr. Raft
accepted. The piece being produced that
night was spectacular one, and MIR. Raft
wandered about among the imps and COB
lins and fairies until he got under the stage,
and, unperceived and unawares, stood upon
trap. A devil was to be shot up through
that trap 10 the stage, aud, just as he came
up, somebody on the stage was to make a
vicious whack at him, which he was to
dodge. The machinist who worked the
trap just glanced al it, saw that man
was on it, thought that it was all right,
and shot it up. Raft felt himself going and
gave wild yell, but it was too late. Up
he went, ana the man on the stage was ali
ready TO make the welt at the devil, and
made it. But Raft, bewildered by his
novel position. was not prepared to dodge
1t, and got the blow, powerful one, over
the head. 1t sent him flying clear across
the stage 1t was In the play for everyone
TO kick at the devil, while he was TO Gex-
terously Dodge every blow; and the man
whom Raft tell near didn't in the excite
ment of the moment, notice that it WASH t
the devil, and kicked at Raft. and, as Raft
didn't dodge, he got hit, and was lifted
clear up the stage 10 where another man
kicked him, and he was terribly scared,
and began to yell; and the audience, which
thought ii was part of the play, cheered,
and then another man kicked him, and
then another, and another, and, shrieking
loudly, he flew about like football until
finally he rolled at the heels of a trick mule
ON the stage. and the animal kicked HIM
intc the orchestra; and as he fell he broke
two fiddles and Il trombone, while his he I'd
got stuck into a kettle drum. This wildly
excited the orchestra, but by that time the
actors had found out that there was some
mistake, as the real ''devil" came up
through the trap. SO, proceedings were
stopped, while MIR. Raft was extricated
anu taken to the green-room- The mana
ger went to him, and asked him what the
Old Harry he meant by getting upon the
stage and disturbing the peace, and Ratl
said il was q conspiracy to slsy him. Ii
nally the matter was explained, and Rafi
was sent TO the hospital In hack. Ht
has reported 10 the society that the theateI
is tine wickedest place in existence and &C
Tors the wickedest people.
