Curious Habits of Frogs.

Frogs are fond of birds, which they catch
frequently. | sometimes give them a
sparrow or two They swallow them down
feathers and all. Shortly afterward you
will see the feathers come rolling out of
their mouths just as if some living thing
were within them plucking the feathers
off. One of my frogs became ill tae other
day. He had swallowed something that
did not agree with him. What do Won
suppose the old fellow did, Why he Just
sat down on his launches and turned his
stomach inside out and washed it in the
water and in moment afterward re-
turned the organ to its proper position.
he always Uses his hind legs to remove the
stomach when it is disordered. Several of
my frogs, you will observe, have lost an
arm or leg. That was the condition in
which caught them. have no doubt the
members were lost in some terrific battle
held in their native ponds. They live to a
good old age. | have one here which is 10

to the general wreck, it was for the jury tc

A ch,id without . Name.

A certain married pair, each blessed with
strength OF will that some would call
obstinacy, found themselves the happy
parents about year ago OF a beautiful
baby boy. In due time christening was
decided upon, but, alas It was impossible
to agree upon the name. The mother was
anxious to call the boy Percy, while the
father favored plain John. Neither would
yield nor permit adouble name. and after a
spirited discussion at the last moment with
no result, the clergyman, who was an old
friend OF the family, began the service.
When the place was reached where the
name should be repeated, instead the min
lister went on, Child OF the covenant,
baptize thee" etc. The baby is still name
less except to wide circle OF relatives,
who call him Convey. Her Point OF

A Nov Star In 1874.

Tycho Brahe's star Of 1872 made its ap-
pearance near the star Kappa Cassiopeife.
the faintest Of the four stars forming the
well known square in Cassiopeia's chair.
II appears to have been first noticed by
Cornelius Comma, on Nov 0 Of that year,
and II seems to have blazed out very sud
denly. as he states that II was not visible
on the preceding evening In a clear sky.
The attention Of Tyeho Brahe, whose name
is generally associated with the star. seems
to have been first attracted to 1t on Nov.
II. When first seen 1t surpassed Jupiter
and rivaled Vents In brightness, and was
visible at noondayl
At this brilliancy, however, it did not
long remain, but gradually diminished in
luster, and in March. 1874, had completely
disappeared, at least to the naked eye. Its
curious changes are thus described; "As Il
decreased In size SO IL varied in color: at
first It's light was white and extremely
bright; 1t then became yellowish, after
ward OF a ruddy color, and finished with a
pale livid color."--J. Ellard Gore in Popu.

The popular belief that wound In the

GUS la most cases IL does, but there are
some animals and some men who will live
quite a while after the heart Is torn TO
