Woman and the Home.

The modern ideal homo Is just as
much an intellectual and emotional
work as an essay or a poem. A book
is collection OF thoughts. Such also
is a Westinghouse, and the woman
who has in some degree fashioned it is
as much an intellectual creator as is
the masculine toiler whom we call an
essayist or poet or dramatist. While,
therefore, the new home Of our age Is
the result OF the great and free woman.
1t is also the cause and has made
woman the possessor Of an intellectual
power which she could not claim in the
cabin or tented period. The house has
helped to create the new woman.

The winter habits of the frog are

The winter habits of the frog are
not dissimilar to those OF other rep
lillian animals. 1t burrows into the
mud at the bottom of the pool and re-
mains in a torpid condition until
spring. The vital processes appear to
be sustained during the time by nutri-
ment stored up in special internal
organ called the fat-body.
As is we'll known, the spring is the
season of the greatest activity with
these animals. The discordant croaks
of the male frog are a characteristic
sound of the warm spring night In
some species, as subservient to the
production of voice, there are large
dilatations of the skin at the sides of
the head in the male. These sacks
having been filled with air, it is forced
out along two membranous folds which
by their vibration produce voice. A
frog can often be made to croak by
stroking it's sides and thus the action
of these sacks may be demonstrated.
In respect to intelligence the frog
can not be said to be in any wise re-
markable. Its instincts are very few.
1t makes no nest, and in fact appears
to give no attention whatever to its
young; the whole office of maternity
ending when the eggs have been pro-
duced. 1t constructs no place OF re-
treat, depending for concealment upon
thrusting its body into the mud at the
bottom of the pool 1t shows its
greatest alertness in catching its prey,
though this depends rather on the Pc
culiar structure and qualities of its
tongue than skill in the use of it. 1t
leaps and swims with agility and di-
rectness; but it seldom exercises this
power except under alarm. 1t shows
no quality of sportlveness. When not
aroused by hunger or other desire, it
appears content to lead sluggish, in
active existence.
A peculiar feature of the frog is the
presence of what are called lymph
hearts. There are four in all, two of
which are situated on the posterior part
of the back just at the sides of the verte-
bra ridge. By careful watching, these
lymph-hearts may be seen to pulsate.
They serve to force the lymph-a white
fluid gathered from the tissues-into
the great veins, thus passing 1t into
the general blood circulation.
A good many other points of greater
or less interest could be named, but
our examination may close by noticing
the several species of frogs common
in this country. The most common
species is Rama haIecina, the frog o.
the pools, streams and marshes, toe
we'll known to need description. Its
hind limbs are very palatable, but the
true edible species is Rama Esculanta
which is larger and of brighter
color. In this species the vocal sacks
of the male are especially wcll devel
oped. The eyes are rather closer tt
gether than in r. haIecina and the
area of the tympanic membrane JUS
behind the eyes is larger Our larges
species is Rama pipiens, commonly
called the bull-frog. 1t sometimes at
tains length of at least eight inches

ABOUT WEAK HEARTS.

Physical Exercise the Best Remedy for
This and Other Ailments.
A weak heart seems to be decidedly
more practically inconvenient than a
weak head. II man or woman be
little feeble about the region of the
brain it is generally of little moment
Some post or other will be provided II
the conduct be respectable; and lack
of brains is too common to excite any
particular attention either in the per-
son concerned or in those about him.
But weak heart insists upon putting
itself in evidence at all sorts of con-
venient and announcement times. IL
its possessor finds himself rather late
for his morning train, and makes a
"spurt" to recover lost time, the ex-
srtion is usually followed by such a
'bad quarter of an hour" that he re-
solves in future rather to lose dozen
trains than to risk temporary suffcca-
ton or permanent syncope again.
The practical evils which are asso-
ciated with feeble heart are innumer-
able, and will readily suggest them
selves to those who possess so unsatis-
factory pumping engine. Weak
hearts are by no means so common as
is often supposed. Many a man who
thinks he has got one is merely dys-
peptic; many woman owes her symp-
toms to tight lacing or insufficient
feeding. If the dyspepsia be cured,
or the tight lacing be dispensed with,
the symptoms of heart weakness will
disappear. Even when the heart is
genuinely weak" the weakness is not
always due to special disease of that
organ. 1t may be only part of gen.
eral weakness of the whole system
which is easily durable. The majority
of weak, fiabby hearts are weak and
fiabby because every other muscle in
the body is weak and flabby. and this
general weakness and flabbiness is due
to want of vigorous use. Exercise Of
the legs and back and arms gives addi-
tional and much-needed exercise to the
heart, and the heart grows strong by
vigorous exercise exactly as every
other muscular organ does, for the heart
is a muscle. If a man has no organic
disease of the heart no enlargement.
and no functional disorder, plenty OF
brisk walking, with occasional run
ming, will soon dispel his breathless-
ness and heart weakness, other things
being equal. The muscular inactivity
of the modern town man is the parent
of more ill-health than any other
single cause whateyer.-once q Week.
