The Wonderful Ernp.

The frog has huge skull, with very
small brain cavity and an enormous mouth
for the purpose of swallowing fish, small
ducks or any other prey of size, whole
Dan Beard the artist, tells story of q pet
frog he had in an aquarium that attempted
to get away with a baby alligator newly
imported from Florida. On coming home
he found Mr.. Frog, who had taken down
the small saurian head first, jumping
against the glass side of the aquarium in
vain efforts to drive down the tail of the
victim, which was too long to find room
inside for it's accommodation. The frog
like the toad, has it's tongue fastened in
front and loose behind, SO that it can cap
ture insects by whipping it over and out
wardly. Unlike the toad, however, it has
teeth in its upper jaw.
The toad is a higher animal than the
frog, because it gives birth directly to little
air breathing toads, whereas the frog lays
eggs that produce fshlike tadpoles, subse-
quently transformed into the final shape.
The tadpole breathes through gills like a
fish, has tail and no legs, and is a vege-
table feeder The metamorphoss it under
goes is one of the most marvellous things
in nature. If it were not so common it
would astonish the world Think of a
vegetable eating fish with tail aud gills
turning into an air breathing land animal,
developing teeth and becoming a carnivor-
Gus quadruped. Isn't it amazing when you
come to consider it? A wonderful beast is
the frog, truly.-Interview in Washington

wit never deserted him, and though his
repartee was not always of the incest, it
came quickly and it was generally smart
enough to tickle the imaginations of his
audiences. 1t grew to be standing bet in
the village that no one could pose old Peter
by question, or abuse him without get
ting as good or better than he gave.
One day the old mans wife died, and he
married a buxom young lass within a
month Of the funeral. The village was
somewhat scandalized by this, and though
old Peter was a general favorite, the young
men of the town decided to give him a
"shiveree," they called it. So
they gathered up all the tin horns, cow
bells and old pans they could find, and
started out for the old mans house. Sur
rounding it, they began to raise terrible
racket, which soon woke the happy pair
from their slumbers. Before many min
utes old Peters head appeared at win
dow. He was greeted with derisive bowls
that were kept up for some time. When
the noise stopped one of the crowd was
heard TO say to another:
"I'll bet you two to one old Moffatt won't
have any ready answer for this occasion"
"Tll go you in Dimes" replied another,
and then all eyes were fixed on old Peter,
who was looking the crowd over coolly.
He hesitated for moment only, and then
drawled out, with peculiar nasal and
plaintive twang:
"You young cubs ought to be ashamed
of yourselves. Who raised you, anyway?
Amt you got any better idea of what's fit
tim than to come raising such racket
round the house so soon after the funeral?"
The boys skunk away rather dazed by the
almost preternatural sense of "what was
fittin'" displayed by old Peter.-New York
