The particles had to be removed by sur

The Biddeford Me. Journal has
found a Saco lady who has very odd
pet in a big garden toad which has for
three years passed his existence in the
lady's front yard. No dog ever knew
his master or mistress better than this
toad does the lady OF the house. When
she puts in appearance the toad in
variably comes out from under the
step TO greet her and blinks wisely and
attentiyely as she talks to him, but
should any other person or voice in
trude upon the scene, Mr.. Toad quick
~ retreats to his abode under the
steps. During one of the hot days the
lady went out into the yard to water
her plants and the toad promptly APP
peared. wearing an Enthusiastically op-
pressed aspect. 1t seemed TO the lady
that he was begging for shower bath
and she gave him one. She says that
the toad actually smiled his gratitude
TO her and sang cOntentedly until she
left him. Upon warm days since the
toad has had as regularly for his
shower bath as the plants have for
their sprinkling.

FREAKS OF CATS.

One Nurses Rabbit, Another u Wood
chuck. and Another Plays the Piano.
This year has developed some queer
traits among the animals in Connect
cut. a. +. Olmstead Moodus mar
ketman. has cat which gave birth TO
three kittens recently. Evidently
thinking her family too small for her
capacity as n nurse. she left her box
and went over TO a neighbours rabbit
warren, where she found a young
bunny, and taking ii carefully by the
neck carried 1t TO her home. She has
fully adopted it. nursing it at the same
time with her kittens, but she can't
understand why the young animal
doesn't play with her tail, as his foster
sisters do.
Gelston Mitchell. also OF Moodus,
has a cat which is even more odd than
Mr. Olmstead's. She has taken to her
affections \ young woodchuck which
Mr. Mitchell captured several weeks
ago. She allows the woodchuck to
nurse with the kittens and the mother
cat ticks him and makes his toilet with
the same impartiality she exhibits to-
ward her own offspring.
Another cat story comes from
Bridgeport. Mike is brindle puss
belonging to Miles b. Ferris. Twenty
eggs packed in sawdust were standing
in the window of Mr. Ferris saloon.
when Mike took it into his head TO 90
TO sleep on them. Every attempt has
been made TO drive him away from the
box, and every inducement in the way
of soft beds was offered 10 him, but he
persists in lying on those eggs all day,
only leaving them long enough TO eat
and drink. Next week the period Of
incubation will have expired. What
Mike will do with his brood, if he is
successful, is an interesting question.
But perhaps he knows what he is
about and is Matching them for his own
especial benefit.
Milton Moshier Of Shelton heard
sounds from his piano the other morn
ing and knowing that no one was in
the room he began TO be n believer in
spirits, On investigation he found his
cat prancing up and down on the key
board, seemingly delighted at the
sounds produced. After that she was
watched. and whenever the piano is
left open she will play to the best OF
her ability
