A Victim of Science.

The frog has been called 1.-The victim
of science" because he is always being
dissected for the purpose of seeing how
he can get along without his most essen
tial organs, how his blood circulates and
how his nervous system acts. He is Sc.
lected for such ends not, as is commonly
imagined, because his structure is at al
humanlike, but for the reason that he
will endure being chopped up to such &
remarkable extent and still retain life.
You can remove his brain and he viii
get along fairly we'll without it, swallow
ing whatever is put into his mouth, ani
otherwise behaving as usual, though il
an automatic fashion. In fact the ami
NAL will live indefinitely under such
conditions, as experiment has shown.
If you cut out his lungs he will not die
for long time, because he can breathe
very well through his skin. Human
beings breathe through the skin all over
the body in a small degree, the blood in
the superficial vessel taking up a certain
amount of oxygen, but the function is
exercised more satisfactorily by the frog
Besides, his nervous system affords an
interesting study under ingenious torture
by the anatomist, and the corpuscles in
his blood being remarkably large, that
fluid serves admirably for the instruction
of the seeker after medical knowledge

Different Kinds of Gold.

Most people suppose" says an as
sayer, ''that all gold is alike when re-
fined, but this is not the case. An ex-
perienced man can tell at glance from
what part of the world a gold piece
comes, and in some cases from what part
of particular gold district the metal
was obtained. The Australian gold, foi
instance, is distinctly redder than the
California, and this difference in color is
always perceptible, even when the gold
is ], 1000 fine. Again, the gold obtained
from the placers is yellower than that
which is taken directly from the quartz.
Why this should be the case is one Of
the mysteries of metallurgy, for the
placer gold all comes from the veins.
The Ural gold is the reddest found any.
where
Few people know the real color Of
gold, as it is seldom seen unless heavily
a1loyed, which renders it redder thar
when pure. The purest coins ever made
were the fifty dollar pieces that used tc
be common in California. Their coin
age was abandoned for two reasons
First, because the loss of abrasion was
so great, and, secondly, because the in
terror would be bored out and lead sub
stituted, the difference in weight being
too small to be readily noticed in &c
large piece. These octagonal coins
were the most valuable ever struck

Thou Diest on Point of Fox.s

Fox blades were celebrated all through
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
for their excellent temper, and mention
of them is frequent in English drama
This is their history; There was Ger
tain Julian del Rel, believed to be a
Morisco, who set up forge at Toledo in
the early part of the Sixteenth century
and became famous for the excellence of
his sword blades, which were regarded
as the best of Toledo. That city had
for many ages previous been renowned
for sword making, it being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art, as they did
so many good things, from the east.
Julian del Refs mark was little dog
which came to be taken for fox, and
SO the ''fox blade" or simply "fox" fol-
any good sword. See Henry "" act
iv., scene 4, Thou diest on point Of
fox" The brand came to be initiated in
other places, and there are Solinger
blades of comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog OF

A Memorable Christmas Dinner.

The misery endured during those four
months at Bonner lake in our little dark
cabins under the snow would fill pages
and make the coolest heart ache. Christ
mas was near, but to the starving its
memory gave no comfort. 1t came and
passed without observance, but my
mother had determined weeks before
that her children should have treat on
this one day. She had laid away few
dried apples, some beans, a bit of tripe,
and small piece of bacon.
When this boarded store was brought
out the delight of the little ones knew
no bounds The cooking was watched
carefully, and when we sat down to ou1
Christmas dinner mother said, "Chil.
dren, eat slowly, for this one day you
can have all you wish" So bitter was
the misery relieved by that one bright
day, that l have never since sat down to
Christmas dinner without my thoughts
going back to Bonner lake.
The storms often would last ten days
at time, and we would have to cut
chips from the logs inside which formed
our cabin in order to start fire. We
could scarcely walk, and the men had
hardly strength to procure wood. We
would drag ourselves through the snow
from one cabin to another, and some
mornings snow would have to be SHOW
eled out of the fireplace before fire
could be made. Poor little children were
crying with hunger, and mothers were
crying because they had SO little to give
their children. We seldom thought OF
bread, we had been without it so long.
-Four months Of such suffering would fill
the bravest hearts with despair.-Cor.
Century.
