It l. q matter of common observation
that the loudest sounds are not always
made by the largest animals. The roar
of the lion exceeds in sonorousness the
cry of the elephant. Any one who had
only heard without seeing a bullfrog
might wou suppose that its fearful voice
breaking the silence of the night must
certainly come from the throat of an an
imal of formidable dimensions.
But perhaps the most remarkable case
of vocal power in an animal Is that re-
lated 10y recent traveller in the high
lands Of Borneo. He was informed by
natives that they had heard a tiger roar
ing in the ueighborhood. Such news is
always startling 10 = stranger in the jun
giles of the east and hardly less SO to the
natives.
An investigation was accordingly set on
foot. which resulted in the discovery
that the alarming roars had been emitted
by n toad, This toad of Borneo, how
ever, was by no means an ordinary men,
Der of the family. It measured no less
than IA inches around the body.
That the natives should not have rec
ognized the true source Of the sound
shows that the existence of such toads
was either unknown to them. or that, at
any rate. the had never discovered the
remarkable vocal capabilities of the ami
mals.-G outh's Companion.

Thrce Curious WORDS.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventures
once made common cause against Span
ish settlements in the new world. and all
three of these words came in time to de-
scribe the rude sea soldiers who de-
spoiled the Spanish main and the towns
upon the coasts of the Spanish posses
sions. Filibuster Is said to be the result
of an attempt to make a French word of
freebooter, and the English borrowed it
back from the French because it sounded
less frankly brutal than the English
word.
Buccaneer was originally French in
form, and it meant at first one who
hunted the boucan or wild cattle and
hogs of the West Indies: then one who
made ierbed meat of their flesh, and
finally. because this meat was used to
provision the ships of the sea rovers, a
flibus5er or frcebooter.-New York Sun.

Mckinley on Cleveland.

In an interview printed in n Buffa-

leave of the partisan intolerance
usually manifested by him. and was
fair enough to admit that 1.-The pco-

have great confidence in President
Cleveland" This remark was called
out in connection with comments on
the financial situation of the country.
The governor does not believe that
any serious disaster or general panic
is impending. As the Quincy Herald
saws: His faith is founded on the
wealth and resources of the country,
and is fortified by his confidence in
President Cleveland's financial opin-
ions and the general soundness of his
Judgment in all that relates to none
tary questions. Commenting on
Gov. Mckinley's expression of conf
dence in the president the St. Louis
Globe, the leading republican paper
of the southwest, SAYS:
The governors allusion to the con-
fidence reposed in the president on
all sides was peculiarly fitting and
gracious. He is entitled to speak for
the party on most questions of ma
tionaI concern. and he most unques-
tionably represents the sentiment
and purposes of the party on this is
sue Republicans have confidence
in Mr.. Cleveland in this eNigency be-
cause he has been tried in financial
crisis heretofore, and has always full
" justified the trust reposed in him.
He has been on the safe side of the
money question since the beginning.
and his recent utterances show that
he occupies it still.

PATIENCE.

Be patient, Easy words to speak
While plenty fills the cup of life,
While health brings roses to the check.
And far removed are care and strife.
Falling so glibly from the tongue
OF those-l often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
Be patient when the suff'rer lies
PROSTATE beneath some fell disease.
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour of case.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than il can bear
To feel the torture of delay,
The agony of hope deferred,
To labor still from day TO day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward of fortunes kiss,
This is TO almost conquer fate,
This is TO learn what patience is.
Despair not, though the clouds are dark
And storm and danger veil the Sky.
Let fate and COURAGE guide thy bark.
The storm viii pass; the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows viii lice before the sun,
These are the hopes that live and burn
TIC light Us till our work is done.

prompt, energetic and, untlla few months

the choir Of the Congregational church in
Litchfeld for twenty-five years.
The child of Christian parents he wa,
early the subject of religious impressions
but made no public profession until he
