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 a time
to kick with, and then moves them uT
close to its collar to make way for Its
long and esculant hind legs.
1t is then that the little bright eyed
fellow dicclaims any further relationship
with his tail, and even goes SO far as tC
cut its acquaintance entirely, and quits
the water forever except for bathing
purposes. Taking up its abode on th'
land, it soon grows into an article O.
commerce much sought after and prize(
by epicures.-Philadelphia Times.

Four years ago Frederick Ayres, oi
Racine, Wis, became infatuated with
the lady who is now his wife, but she
preferred some one else. He made way
for her more favored suitor A few days
after her engagement she became ill 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 hi:
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.

Hutchinson has no photograph ofhimself.
Whether he ever had one made or not

lips that he hasn't photograph, or 8

Just discovered that the Eiffel tower will
prove far more valuable to them for OBJ

Indeed, it is said that it possesses most OF
the advantages of an observatory built

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 it was three days be-

A New White Pitch.

A new white pitch for shipbuilders
has been introduced, which, it is claimed,
supersedes 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 a 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

It is about the meanest man on earth.
A grocer and general dealer advertised
a drink with each purchase He took
trade. A mean man came in with
an egg worth cent and traded it for a
darning needle, also worth cent. Then
he demanded his drink and took sherry.
He said he always had to have an egg in
his sherry and the dealer broke the egg
he had just received from him in the
sherry. 1t happened that the egg had
two yolks, and SO the meanest man de-
manded two darning needles because of
the two yolks. Detroit Free Press.

A STORY OF THE BAREFOOT soyF

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 scratch,
His wit, beneath its homely thatch,
Aspired to something higher.
Over his dog g-eared spelling book,
Or schoolboy composition,
Puzzling 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 fulhllment 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.
