The ~CeratOphrys.

The reptile house at the 200 is pro-
vided with an anteroom Of a cooler
temperature, which is chiefly devoted
TO the exhibition Of frogs aud toads Of
many kinds. Among the former none
is more curious than the ceratophrys,
which is perhaps the most truculent
looking frog that has ever made its APP
pearance. Frogs are, as a rule, re-
markable for large mouths, but this
creature is decidedly the leader among
frogs in this particular.
II has also a bloated appearance,
which recalls that Of a toad. and its
eyes are overshadowed by small horns,
which give it a remarkably evil look.
When at rest it usually burics itself in
the soil, but when annoyed in any
way it swe,ls itself out, like the frog
in Esop. On these occasions it actu-
ally banks with rage. and will, we are
informed, inflict a tolerably severe
bite on any one holding il. This am
phibian comes from South America.
In a state Of nature it is cannibal, or
something very like il. since it will de-
your other frogs without any com.
junction. London Standard.

In Bermuda the soldier crab carries

climbs the mangrove trees. A shore
crab in the Cape Verde islands may
"be seen running along like a piece OF
paper blown by a strong wind" In
Ascension islands there are crabs
which ''climb to the top of Green
mountain, and the larger ones steal
the young rabbits from their holes and
devour them" The famous robber
crab Of the Philippines, that cracks
and eats cocoanuts, is itself routed out
Of its hole and Toasted on by the wild
swine. = Edinburgh Review.

GOT HIS OWN SPOONS.
The Experience of a Wealthy Bachelor In
buying Wedding Presents.

Buying Wedding Presents.
The amount of shopping for we'd
ding gifts that is going on is some.
thing tremendous, and the man who
at the club the other day remarked
that he had concluded To be married,
SO that he could shift 10 the shoulders
of his wife the responsibility of max
ing dinner calls and of buying we'd
ding gifts, WAS answered by a groan of
sympathy from all the bachelors pres
ent. And the mention of wedding
gifts recalls one Of the bits of light but
somewhat amusing gossip floating
here. The tale Tells" ms William
Morris says in beginning his new vol.
ume, that in times" not long past"
there was a wealthy and artistic bach.
elor in Boston who sent TO an acquaint.
ance rs a wedding gift a set Of berry
spoons OF a fashion peculiar and
unique. They pleased him much, but
they did not please the bride at all,
and, she, therefore, quietly took them
back 10 the house where they were
bought and exchanged them. In the
course Of the winter the gentleman
went TO the same jeweler TO procure
a wedding gift for another friend,
saw and recognized the spoons,
bought and presented them, still I'M
marked. TO the second bride. She liked
them no better than did her friend,
and, like her friend. she took them
back to the silversmith. But in full
ness Of time the original donor Of the
spoons took unto himself a wife, and
then one of his friends who had not
heard Of the first rcpurchase went to
the ~ieweler and said to him:
you know what Mr.. J. would like.
Tell me what Ia Civ, him as a wedding
present
II think. answered the iewelcr with
a smile, that he must like these
spoons pretty well, for he has bought
them twice
Then he shall have them, wastlIe
reply: but ] really think it will be
well 10 have them marked this time,
so that they shall not come back
again"
And 81 it came about that the unique
and most artistically ugly spoons came
into the possession of Mr.. j.. who de-
clares that they are the handsomest
berry spoons that he ever saw.-Bos-
ton Cor. Chicago Tribune.

When Emme san; Baby Nine"

Emme Rousseau the other day. Emme

1t is supposed that some shrewd
friend must have warned Emme that
the newspapers were guying her song
OF Baby Mine" for suddenly Emme
abandoned the song and substituted
one OF a more dignitied character.
But when the company reached New

the clerk, after a ~protracted session
behind the prescription counter, that
he cannot read the writing. Then the

good, round price is charged for it.
The patient pays this without "A muir.
muir, for there wouldn't be a cent in

because he has an arrangement with

Employment for the whi.tiinv Boy.

Every Saturday morning crowd
of small boys gather about the door of
a bakery in Columbia street. The
temptation is a chance to earn fifty
cents for a days work offered by the
baker. The small boy is employed TO
pick over dried currants and r%aisins,
10 remoyetlIe stemsfrom them and Gull
out the utterly worthless. But the
baker does little culliug among the
boys before he employs them, and his
mode of selection is original and curl
Gus. As each urcllin enters the august
and aproned presence of the chief cook
he is asked:
do you know how to whistler
The smart little boy, who is not as
truthful AS the Father of his Country
and has not posted himself in regard
to the civil service requirements of the
employment he seeks, unblushingly
says ''Naw." he does not whistle. He
also does not pick raisins. The next
boy is both truthful and posted. He
answers the bakers question with a
bar from the classical McGinty over
ture, and is Immediately introduced to
the room within where with a score Of
others he is to find engagement. When
all the boys who have passed the ex-
animation satisfactorily are in their
places the baker brings in the bags of
raisins and ~currants. Each boy is
given a portion and told to whistle.
The wisdom Of the bakers scheme is
that as long as there is music floating
out from the lips of the urchin there
could exist no opportunity for raisins
and currants to float in. The scheme
works well, at least while the ingen-
ious baker is present. The concert suf-

and consciousness is also illustrated
by some Of the extraordinary phenom-

Among the local or isolated mem.

is the memory for words. The forms
Of aphasia known as word blindness
and word deafness are very strange.
