GIuttOny i'm a Frog.

A rather interesting incident occurred
while | was student in the Sheffield
Scientific school at Yale college. In
the Peabody museum we had a large
wire cage containing numerous reptiles.
and among these was frog of unusual
size. On one of our excursions
brought in "a number of frogs and other
animals, and going to the cage dropped
the contents of the jar, frogs and all,
down among the animals at the bot
tom. The large frog, which had been
confined there for some time, caught
one of the small ones before it reached
the bottom of the cage, and swallowed
captured fly. This quickly dOEe, he
sat and looked about withan air of sat
isfactiOn for IA moment, then sprang up
on another of medium size, caught and
swallowed it as quickly as the first.
| This done there was another pause ot
Il couple of minutes, and then with
another quick bound he seized and swal-
lowed "a third frog, equal in size to the
second this accomplished there was
another pause of about five minutes,
and then another quick, savage bound
| for fourth victim, this time for frog
| two-thirds the size of himself. Eacl
of the three was seized and swallowed
head first, but the fourth effort was moi
so successful as the others, for this b,
only managed to get into his mouth n,
l far as its hind legs, when there was q

Ii Will Come Back to You.

You have a fatherP You have
mother You love them. But once in
a while you grow impatient, and the
meanness of your nature crops out it
wreaks itself on innocent father and
mother, perhaps, and they suffer the
punishment of cross word called up
by another's annoyance. The hard
word is spoken. 1t may be regretted,
forgiven and forgotten, but it can new
er be recalled. Father and mother will
sigh and forgive, but
Some day it will come back to you.
Yesterday, maybe, little one ran
up to you smilingly, and with the inno-
cent, heaven-bOrn confidence of child
hood, clapped its little hands, that
would not harm a fly, in your face
The childish action delighted its au
thor, but it annoyed you. You were
busy and reprOved the little one. Two
pearly tears stood in her great blue
eyes, her lips faltered, and she turned
away from you. The era of childhood,
with its happy, feeting hours, will
erase the unkind word, but
Some day it will come back to you.
A beggar stands at your door. The
rain is dashing in torrents through the
black atmosphere of the night, and the
sharp, vivid lightnings only intensity
by their violent contrast the awfulness
of the darkness. The beggar's plea for
shelter is punctuated by the blast that
howls forth its anger, and you turn
your brother off.
This will come back to you, some
! day.
If you are impatient, testy, ill-hu-
mored, spiteful, malicious, cowardly
and mean, your whole life will be Il
constant reckoning with evil actions
whose enOrmity is only equaled by the
increasing wickedness of the future
and an unatoned past is always the
precursor of a more reprehensible fu-
ture. A bad heart is a boomerang o
passions, whose evil consequences fall
always Oh the head of their luckles au-
thor. On the other hand, all gooC
= deeds work ia a similar way, with the

How Ii Feels to be struck by
Lightning.

1t is not every person who has had
the pleasure of being struck by light
ming, and as the sensation is so rare
and so few can enjoy it, the account
of Henry NJ. Burt, editor of Among
the Clouds, will have IL particular in
terest. The first intimation he had
of the presence of the bolt was "a
tremendous blow i'll the back He
says:
could not imagine at first what
caused it, but instantly thereafter |
saw ball of fire as large as a mans
head directly in front of me, not three
feet off. 1t exploded with tremen-
dous noise, seemingly as loud as Il
cannon, and then | knew what must
have happened. My left leg seemed
to he completely paralyzed, and | fell
to the floor. Three of my printers
were i'll the room at the time, two sit
ting at the table near me and one
standing up little further off. The
latter had the skin on one hand torn
up, another was hit in the back and
the third escaped without injury. At
first | felt as though Il ball had gone
through my body and that all below
had been shot away. | was startled
and confounded, but did not lose
consciousness. - | can assure YOU
that it was Il narrow escape from in
stant death, and for one do not care
to go through another experience like
! it. As the storms are all, or most OF
them, below the summit, we have
very little fear of being struck by
| lightning. In fact, for thirty years
no one has been hurt, or had. such a
narrow escape from death. 1t is an
old saying that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, and | am
sure ! do not care to have it. We
were all the more surprised from the
fact that until the bolt came in we
had no idea of the presence of an elec-
tric storm. 1t had begun to rain {
little, but there had been no flashes
of lightning. 1t was as startling as il
would have been to get clap of thun-
der out of Il clear sky. You hav,
probably heard of the impression o
a tree being found upon the bodies o
those killed by lightning. The same
thing was noticed upon my back, anC
as there are no trees on Mt. Washing
ton, it seems to me that the peculia
appearance must be the result of th'
blood settling i'll the smaller veins.

Some Bold Robbers.

Saturday morning there was a de-
cldedly lively scene on Il Delaware and
Lackawanna train at HobOken. Ho-
mer j. Smith, cashier of the Orange On.
J.) national bank, entered the car with
SlO,OOO in his valise. He had scarcely
taken his seat before man began to
beat him about the head with a piece
of lead pipe, and then made an unsuc-
cessful grab for the valise. Passengers
went to the rescue of the cashier, and
three men who ran from the train were
arrested, after "A lively and exciting
chase. There were few passengers in
the car, and when Smith had put the
satchel by his side he drew out a news
paper; but he had scarcely composed
his eyes on it before he was startled
and staggered by smart blow behind
on the back of his head. Looking up
he saw stranger leaning over him,
having in his uplifted hand what SEEM
ed to be newspaper rolled up. AS
Smith raised his arm to protect his
head he saw the thief make a grab for
the satchel. He grasped it, however,
and rose in his seat to defend himself.
The passengers had in the mean time
crowded around. Fearful at first that
the encounter was purely of personal
nature, they were reluctant to inter
tere, but they were soon undeceived
by the cashier, and three men ran from
the car. They leaped into wagon
which stood outside, and one of them
seized the reins. The horse when bid
ben to start reared and passenger
who had witnessed the encounter on
the train seized the bride. Two of
the men, fearing that the delay would
result in their capture, jumped from
the wagon and dashed up the street :;
but the third whipped out revolver
and began firing at the man at the
horses head. The stranger dropped
the bride and the thief started the
horse forward and drove furiOusly up
the street. Crowds followed the dash
ing team up the street. The thief,
standing up in the wagon, whipped the
horse at every stride. At Second street
he attempted to drive into Il narrow al
ley. He did not turn short enough,
and his shaft was broken by contact
with the side of the building. He lost
no time 10y stopping to repair dam
ages, but running again into Washing
ton street, jumped into IL wagon in
which two boys were riding, snatched
the rains and began to lash the horse.
A citizen, named McGinness, leaped
over the tail l-bOard minute later,
however, and took the fellow into Gus
tody. Later the other two men were
also arrested. They are all old offend
ers. The cashier is not very seriously

Look Ahead.

No one denies that it is wise to make
provision for old age, but we are all
agreed as to the kind of provision it is
best to lay in. Certainly we shall want
a little money, for the destitute old
man Is, indeed, a sorry sight yes,
save money, by all means. But an old
man just needs that particular kind of
strength which young men are most
apt to waste.
Many Il foolish young fellow will
throw away on a holiday certain
amount of nervous energy which he
will never feel the want of until he is
20, and then how much he will want it !
1t is curious, but true, that Il bottle of
champagne at 20 will intensity the
rheumatism of three-scOre. 1t is fact
that everlasting eyes ut IA may ne
cessitate the aid of spectacles at 40 in
stead of 90.
We advise young readers to be saving
of their health for their old age, for the
maxim holds i'll regard to health, as to
money Waste not, want nOt.n 1t is
the greatest mistake to suppose that
violation of the laws of health can es-
cape its penalty. Nature forgives no
sin, or error; she lets off the offender
for fifty years, sometimes, but she
catches him at last, and iniicts the pun
ishment just when, just where and just
how he feels it most
Save up for old age, but save knOwl-
edge save the recollection of good
and noble deeds, innocent pleasures
and pure thoughts save friends, save
love. Save rich stores of that kind OF
wealth which time cannot diminish nor
death take away.

Burdeue at a church Picnic.

ga day in the woods" A realistic
sketch in black and white. 1t is a glad
picnic party. The Sunday school has
gone off into the leafy forest. The
dark object in the heavens 800 miles
wide and 1000 miles long is a cloud. 1t
got to the woods about as soon as the
picnic, and it is there yet. Under the
great oak you can see the dinner. The
large waterproof mound in the middle
of the table sullenly laughing at the
storm is Il fruit cake. The teacher of
the infant class made it herself for the
little ones. But the storm saved them.
See, the lightning struck the cake. 1t
will never strike anything else. There
stands the cake, without a dent, and
under the table, shattered and blight
ed, lies The thunderbolt. Under the
cedar tree is dying dog. He got in
the way and the superintendent felled
him to the earth with one blow of Il
biscuit. The tall figure wrapped in
the ghostly drapery of a water-soaked
linen duster, leading the way to the
cars, is the teacher of the young ladies'
Bible class. His influence with that
class is gone forever. The young la
dies will never he able to look at him
again without thinking how he looked
on this occasion. Up in the hickory
tree you see a grief-stricken face peer
ing down. 1t is the superintendent.
He climbed up there to fix the swing,
and before they cOuld throw him the
rope the storm came up and the picnic
adjourned sine die and sine mora And
he is waiting for the last straggler to
disappear before he comes down. He
has otliciated at Sunday-schOOl picnics
often enough to know better than to
slide down shell-bark hickory before
an audience. The man with the UNI
brclla under his arm is the treasurer.
He is getting drenched, but he does not
raise his umbrella. He knows there is
IA name painted OH the inside of it, but
for the life of him he cannot remember
whose name it is. He is watching his
chance to give the umbrella to IA strang-

pause and a struggle. The unfortunate
frog in the mouth of the large one per-
sisted in holding its hind legs out side
wise, at right angles to its body, as if
conscious that these tactics would pre-
vent the other from swallowing it and
ut the same time the large one used its
front feet, at times one, and again
both, to straighten out the hind legs of
his victim so that he might be able to
swallow it; and while this struggle
was going on he made frequent efforts
to use the sides and bottom of the cage
as an object against which to press the
other frog, so as to and his efforts to
swallow it. The struggle, however,
after lasting a number of minutes, ter
minated in favor of the smaller frog,
for by desperate efforts it managed to
elude the grasp of its assailant but
while the battle did last it used both
its muscular and vocal powers to their
utmost to thwart the murderous design
of its enemy.-[B. F. Rooms, in Ameri-
