A ToAD's WISDOM.
He Placed Himself Where He Could Easi
ly Secure His Prey,

He Placed Himself Where He Could Easl-
Nv Secure His Prey.
A lady used to sit after tea almost
every evening on a stone step at the
head of fight of terraces which led
from a bay window down into the
garden As this window was not over
looked by any neighbor's windows, it
was the family custom to leave the
curtains up in the evening and let
the CHEEKY light of the student-lamp
which stood on the large reading-ta-
bic shine out.
One evening, as the lady sat on the
step, she saw a large toad hopping
across the grass toward her. When he
had come within eight inches of the
window he suddenly settled himself in
to the long grass, having selected as
his resting-place little hollow, SO that
only the very top of his head and his
cleaning eyes showed above the grass.
There he sat without moving until
the dampness sent his observer into the
house. The next evening she found
that the toad had already taken his
place when she seated herself on the
step, and on several successive even
ings he was sitting in exactly the same
spot by the time the sun had fairly set.
The lady's curiosity was by this time
aroused to such a degree that she de-
termined to defy the dampness and
stay in her position on the steps until
she saw what the toad accomplished
in his hiding-place. The next evening,
therefore, she provided herself with
thick shawl and took her accustomed
seat little later than usual.
AS the light faded the toad rose from
his position and hoped toward her
little way; then. after solemnly and anx-
iously regarding her for some moments,
he returned to his hollow, evidently de-
deciding that she was harmless per-
son, not bent on making trouble for
him. as he at first had feared.
When the lamp in the window was
lighted it seemed to her that the toad
raised his head little and took on an
attitude of great vigilance. The cause
was soon apparent.
After a few moments a large moth,
attracted by the light, dashed against the
window in vain endeavor to gain en-
trance. After fiuttering wildly against
the glass it suddenly dropped, blinded,
to the ground, and the toad sprang for
ward and secured it.
This was only his first victim, and at
the end of half an hour the watcher
went into the house with her curiosity
fully satisfied. Some one to whom she
told the story suggested that the toad
might have happened on the favorable
position the first night, but his friend
persisted that he had discovered it by
his own unaided intelligence.-Chic

Corsets for Growing Girls.

Put no -whaleboned, closely
woven harness upon the budding waist
of your young daughter, as you value
her future health and vigor. The
habitual corset-wearer can not breathe
deeply; she can not expand the lower
part of her chest, and the floating ribs,
that ought to widen at every breath,
are in a state of semi-collapse. The
breathing capacity should register up
to two hundred; with the corset-wearer
it often stops at ninety, when meas
ured by the truth telling spirometer;
sometimes it falls below this. But
what is the effect of this diminished
breathing? Bad blood, as a matter of
course. Bad blood means impaired
functional action, whether of the brain,
the heart, the liver, the stomach, or
any other organ. So that now we have
not only an impure quality of the cir
culating media, but enfeebled function
al action as well.-Old Homestead.

"ADricOt."


The word is familiar, but not so its
meaning. If one should say that talk
alive boy was rather apricots. one
might think a mistake had been made
But the expression would not be SO
bad after all. If it had been stated
that the lad was precocious the under
standing might have been better, but
the real difference would be slight.
Dissect the word. The a is really al,
and al in Arabic is the. Now remove
the t, which is Frenchy excrescence,
and prico remains. Now to the Latin
precox, and from this comes another
Latin word, pr@coquus, precocious; and
precocious means early ripe-or early
cooked-pre, beforehand, and coquere,
cooked. But as ripened (Which is sum
cooked) and cooked mean the same,
then apricot is al the; prse, beforehand;
and coquere, ripened-a sort of peach,
then, that ripens earlier than the ordi-
nary peach. Peach is only another word
for Persia-the Persian fruit-Daven-
port Democrat Gazette.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
