A frog in the first stages of its career
gives no hint as to what it will eventu-
ally become. As far as looks go one
would suppose it was going to be cat
fish. 1t spends the first days of its ex.
istence swimming about in some pool,
industriously wagging the small tail
that is appended to one end of his little
round, egg-shaped body. By and by a
pair of legs begin to stick out from
under its vest. These it uses for time
to kick with, and then moves them up
close to its collar to make way for its
long and esculant hind legs.
1t is then that the little bright eyed
fellow disclaims any further relationship
with his tail. and even goes so far as to
cut its acquaintance entirely, and quits
the water forever except for bathing
purposes. Taking up its abode on the
land, it soon grows into an article Of
commerce much sought after and prized
by epicures. Philadelphia Times

nreteorolori.ts and Eisers rover,

French nleteorologists, it appears, have
just discovered that the Eiffel tower will
prove far more valuable to them for OBJ
servation than was at first imagined.
Indeed, it is said that it possesses most Of
the advantages Of an observatory built
upon mountain. In confirmation OF
this it is stated that recently, while Sc
we're frost prevailed in the city, strong,
warm breeze was blowing at the summit
of the tower, and 1t was three days be-
fore this temperature reached the ground.
In no elevated observatory could such
direct vertical observations be made as
here. Photography win be pressed into
service at this elevated position, as a
matter of course. Journal of Photog.

Four years ago Frederick Ayres, ol

the lady who is now his wife, but she
preferred some one else. He made way
for her more favored suitof. A few days
after her engagement she became i'll and
grew worse rapidly. 1t was finally de.
cided that the only thing that could save
her was the TRANSMISSION of blood. Hel
favored suitor was sorry, but he thought
he needed all the blood he had in hii
system. Ayres offered himself, and the
operation was performed with successful
results. The engagement was broken
and six months afterward Ayres married
the woman. Chicago Times.

A New White pitch.

A new white pitch for shipbuilders
has been introduced, which, it is claimed,
superSdes the present laborious, expen-
sive and inefficient method of white deck
seams by working putty into the seams
with a knife. The popularity of the
white pitch is that it is the only material
hitherto introduced of white color that
can be run into deck seams in hot state
like ordinary pitch. The material is es.
pecially suitable for hot climates, as il
will stand sun heat which would cause
ordinary pitch to melt out of the seams.

4 STORY OF THE BAREFOOT eoy.'

On Haverhill's pleasant hill there played.
Some seventy years ago,
In turned up trousers battered hat
Patches and freckles and all that.
The barefoot boy we know.
He roamed his berry fields content
But while, from bush and brier,
The nimble feet got many a scratch.
His wit, beneath its homely thatch,
Aspired to something higher.
Over his dog g-eared spelling book.
Or schoolboy composition,
Plzzling his head with some hard sum,
Going for nuts, or gathering gum.
He cherished his ambition.
Kind nature smiled on that wise child.
Nor could her love deny him
The large fulillment of his plan:
Since he who lifts his brother man
In turn is lifted by him
He reached the starry nights Of peace
Before his head was hoary;
And now at fourscore years again
The blessings of his fellow men
Watt him crown of glory.

TO the Editor. SIR.--As my name and
face have appeared in your paper and
the public prints lately, and US many of
my professional brethren are wondering
at it, l feel it only just that should
make an explanation. The statement
published over my name was made ten
years ago, after long and mature inves-
tigation, and have never changed my
mind as to the fact then stated. At that
time / said, as a physician, that be-
lieved Warmers Safe Cure was the best
OF all known preparations for the
troubles 1t was advocated TO cure, and I
sag so still. know it is considered the
proper thing for the medical profession
to decry proprietary and other adver-
tised articles; but why should they do
so? AS the late DR.. j. G.. Holland,
writing over his own name in Scribnsr's
Monthly, said:
'sIt Is q fact that many Of the best
proprietary medicines Of the day are
more successful than many physicians,
and most Of them were first discovered
or used in actual medical practice when,
however, any person knowing their vir-
tue and forseeing their popularity Sc
cures and advertises them, in the opinion
of the bigoted all virtue went out Of
them"
DIR. Holland was an educated physi-
clan, an unprejudiced observer, and he
spoke from broad and unusual expert
ence. Proprietary medicines should not
be decried. The evidences Of their value
are overwhelming. have seen patients
recover from gravel, inflammation Of
the bladder, and Bright's disease after
using Warmers Safe Cure, even when
all other treatment had failed

ment in the inter ests Of humanity and

the same reason you will give it to the
public. Respectfully,
