Tanning n Toad.

Irescued a very large toad few years
ago from rat trap in the garden and
let it loose on the rockery of the con-
servatory, after bathing its poor, torn leg
in water and otherwise making much OF
it. The next day, after a very short
search, found my invalid seated on
large stone in small artificial pool of
the rockery, and gave him a worm,
which, after some hesitation. I persuaded
him to take. After this 2 p. M. every
day found my toad on the same stone
awaitingh his dinner. Sometimes he would
eat as many as six worms, one after
another, first appearing not to see them,
though all the time keenly alive to their
presence, then, with sudden start, glar-
ing at them with hunched up back and
eager eyes for some moments, when the
next instant-snap, gulp-the worm is
gone, and the toad looking supremely in
nocent of the whole affair. had this
toad for several months, but on return
ing home after long absence I never
saw him again. 1 have found it a good

SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY.

This story is supposed to be founded upon a
manuscript found in the papers Of Allan Quater-
main, which were given to the author as literary
executor. In 1t Quatermain tells the story Of his
marriage.
CHAPTER 1.-Describes Allan's first meeting
when child, with Stella Carson, at a Christmas
gathering. Stella's dress caught fire and Allan
extinguished the flames. Stella's mother was
Spanish, and she eloped with cousin, leaving
Stella with her father, Squire Carson. He de-
termined to leave England on account Of the dis
grace, and at about the same time Allan's mother
died and Allan's father took him to South Africa
where Mr.. Quatermain became a missionary
among the Kafflrs. When Allan was 20 his father
died.
CHAPTER u.-Auan sold the effects and decided
togo on journey Of trade and adventure. Among
his men was Kaffir named Indaba- -zimbi. q witch
doctor. Between him and another witch doctor
there had two years before been a lightning con.
test which resulted in the death of his contestant

When We Sleep.

Modern physiological research pro-
claims sleep to be the result of certain
amount of blood being distracted from
the brain, to lie quiescent, if not DOR
mant, in certain channels and vessels,
which during the waking period are ap-
parently empty, or at least very flabby,
and in condition, as it were, of mega
tion. InNproof of this view it is a well
known fact that good, healthy, restful
sleep rarely if ever takes place when the
bead is full of blood.

HOW TO CATCH RATS.
An Invention that Causes Them to Assist
in Killing Each Other.

An Invention that Causes Them to Assist
in Killing Each Other.
The best course to take when the exter.
mination of colony of rats becomes 8
necessity is to make them help to destroy
one another in the following manner, says
the Cornhill magazines:
A number of tubs, proportionate to the
quantity of rats in the place which it is de.
sired to rid of them, should be placed
about, the middle of each occupied by q
brick standing on end.
The bottom of these tubs should be Gov
cred with stout brown paper, upon which
a dainty meal of bacon rind and Other
scraps dear to the rat palate dgures-a
slopine board giving tho rodents facilities
for partaking of it.
The feast should be renewed for several
nights SO that all the rats in the neighbor-
hood may get to know of the good food
which is pla1 ed within such easy reach.
pursued long enough the center of the
brown paper should be cut in such man
ner that any rat venturing upon it will be
precipitated into the cold water below.
It might be thought that the result of this
would be to capture rat, or at the most

meager reward for the trouble that has been
taken need be feared.
The first rat to find his trust abused and
himself struggling in the water at the bot
tom of the tub soon RECEIVERS sufficiently
from the shock to ascertain that there ia q
little island of refuge onto which he scram-
bles and squeals his loudest for help.
Now, the squeal of rat in trouble at
tracts every one of his kind within, hearing,
and q very few moments will elapse before
the victim of misplaced confidence is Joined
by one of his friends.
The newcomer is quick to discover the
chance of escape from a watery grave that
the brick offers, as was the original victim,
but when he attempts to avail himself of
its presence it becomes apparent that there
is not room for more than one upon it.
The first conner resists with tooth and
nail the effort of his companion in trouble
to dispossess him of his coigne of vantage,
and the squeals which form an accompani-
ment to the fight for a footing upon the
brick attracts more rats to the scene of the
tragedy.
The conflict wages more and more furi-
GUS as rat after rat topples into the water,
and moving bedragged corpses in plenty
will gladden. the eyes of the man whose
losses at the teeth of rats have induced him
to adopt this measure of thinning their
numbers.
Some years ago the plan described above
was tried in city warehouse, with the re-
suit that nearly 5000 rats were destroyed in
single night.

THE JIBOOSE.
A New Word Which Fills One of the Polit-

A New Word Which Fills One of the Polit-
ical Needs Of the Time.
The general public and the noble science
of progressive philoloey are alike indebted,
says the New York Sun, to the Hon. John
L. Butler, of Harrisburg. Pa, for new
word, which the language needs:
Jl-boose, n. A professed democrat who
ID better and purer than his party, in his
own estimation, and is loaded with a set of
prize package principles which can never
be put into practice. CT. mugwump.
"Hon. Robert E. Pattison IL a iiLoose.~
BUTLER.
This spirited definition is all that il
needed to win fer Inc new noun immediate
recognition by those who appreciate the
value of terms which express the finer
shades of meaning.
It will be observed that while Jiboose is
generally, it not always, q mugwump, q
mugwump is not necessarily Jiboose.
The latter word is step further in the diff
ferentiation If political nomenclature. It
means certain sort of mugwump whose
existence en-. Is generally recognized, but who
fectly or by the aid of clumsy pariphrase.
We are by no means satisfied with the il
lustration which Mr.. Butler, of Harrisburg,
gives to the use of this new word. He is not
pleased with the Hon. Robert E. Pattison
AZ democratic candidate for governor.
clares that "Pattison is Jiboose; he il not
democrat; he has never by voice or purse
helped the democratic party, except when
there was an Office at stake for himself"
As the situation is in Pennsylvania, we
think that Mr.. Butler would do much bet-
tet to standby Rs party and its candidate,
and apply has 7asuAble noun to clearer cases
of JibOosity than ex-Gov. Pattlson's. He
is probably in error in describing Pattison
az q Jibooae.
But the question Of interest il not
whether Nh, Pattison u Jiboose or mot.
nor whether Mr., Butler by his bolt and his
chronological tAunderbolt, has done serious
injustice to the democratic candidate for
governor Of Pennsylvania. The Jiboose
whore; and the new word 10 welcome.
