A Live Fly Catcher.

"Of what earthly use is toad?" q
naturalist was asked
at is q very useful animal about the
house. There isn't better fly catcher
! trained toad once and kept it in my
room. Its place was on the window
bench, and my diversion was to see it
catch iles. If rifemen could aim as it
does with its tongue, they would be iu-
vincible. It's aim is as unerring as its
glance. Its tongue is made SO that it
can shoot it out nearly two inches. 1t
is so sharp that it spears n fly as upon
the point of a needle, and it is done as
quick as man can wink. 1t requires
very great attention to see the opera

"How do they live in the winter?"
"Toads crawl into crack in the
earth OF bury themselves in the mud.
There are numerous stories about the
time they can live without food or air.
Mr.. Buckland's experiments showed
that they could live two years, so that
we must conclude that the legend of
the discovery in the bowels of the earth
of toads that possibly lived before Noah
are misleading. They certainly get
modicum of air in their hiding places.
There is no trustworthy account OF
live geological toad. Toads are found
in stones, but they are merely housed
up in solid coat of sun-baked clay,
which on the exterior seems as hard as
n stone, but which, in all probability,
contains fssuro invisible to tho naked
eye, through which it gets air and
drink
THE toad is sometimes found con-
cealed in knot of n tree, where 1t has
been encased in bark; but here, too, 1t

Eyes; curiously enough, it has n cry
that sounds like an infant screaming
under a pillow. Its utterance is
stragely human, but it comes forth only
when it is injured or frightened. -Neo

and think now that he was not actuated by
any feeling of bigotry or of hostility to
Catholics or the Catholic institutions. On
the contrary, Governor Cleveland Is liberal
in the extreme, and we are Of the firm
belief that he was led to withholding his
approval Of the appropriation solely by a
sense of public duty as he viewed it,
Upon these facts are based all the charg-
es made against Grover Cleveland by which
it is sought to raise objection to him among
the lab2rng men and religious elements.

The Workingmen's Friend.


Gov. Cleveland has shown by his course
before ard since he was Governor that he is
true friend Of the workingmen, and they
will support him for President. We call to
mind at this time few instances In which
he has demonstrated that his sympathes
are enlisted in the work of true reform in
behalf OF the workingmen off state. The
workingmen of New York had asked for
the establishment Of Bureau of Labor
Statistics. 1t had been created, with the
prompt approval of the Governor, and he
had appointed commissioner entirely &C
ceptable to the Labor Organizations Of the
State. The demand for the prohibition of
cgarmaking in tenement houses came from
the workingmen. The Governor signed the
bill for that purpose last year. The act
was declared invalid by the court of APP
peals, and another was passed which was
intended to obyiate the fatal objections
raised, and this was signed without hesit-
alton. The wOrkngmen made loud de-
mand for the abolition of contract labor in
the prisons and that proposition was favor
ed by the Governor in his message and in
his signature of the Comstocl bill, and his
criticism upon the measure for an invest-
eating commission, In his general course
Gov. Cleveland has shown no special regard
for this or that seperate interest, but has
kept in view the general well being in which
oil have share but if there is any class to
whose demans he has exhibited friendly
leaning, it is the working class.

Neuralgia Of the Face:

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia Tor over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
OIL close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerabe pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERuNA, and
IN less than month was entirely relieved
OF the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors fhe least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear Of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
TOR this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kennery yoS Laurel street,
New Orleans. has been one Of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia Of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard OF. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bonein her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
well as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundy.
