He declared the panic senscless STAN

trouble could properly be charged to the
great capitalists of the world, or, as Mr..
Dixon termed them. "conspirators against

wealth of the nation. We ore 10. day not

panic could have been produced only by
human trickary and chicanery. The
panic was manufactured to order Itwas

IN 1t all of the elements of the deed of
Cain. There was concerted action of q
certain coterie of great money-huckstcrs
throughout the world. They began with-
out cause; cave the secret design of con-
spirators, to call in their loans, to refuse
applications tor money from the best Sc
curity, and in every way to contract busi-
neso. A year ago they issued certain Sc.
cret financial bulletins to the lesser lights,
giving them warning to follow in the
steps of their masters. Their movement
was against the money of America.
They demanded the repeal Of the silver
purchase clause of our present law. And
they demanded its unconditional repeal
that is, that gold should for the time be
only recognized as money. They forced
the president of the United States to call
congress together and recommend this.

A WISE OLD TOAD.



Toad Which Was Great Pet.
Among all the stories which are told OF
toads none is more remarkable perhaps
than that Of a toad which lived for more
than thirty-six years in a hole beneath the
doorstep of French farmhouse.
How old it was when first noticed no one
could say, but 1t had probably lived long
time before familiarity with the sight Of
man emboldened it to rest TRANQUILITY on
the doorstep, over which persons were con
stantly passing.
The step became the batrachian's "hunt-
ing ground" where, with little trouble, 1t
might capture the ants which persisted in
crossing and recrossing the step. The toad
hunting for its supper" came to be re-
garded as one of the sights Of the neigh
borhood, and certainly the skillful manner
in which it used its wonderfully formed
tongue entitled it to be ranked as an expert.
For one thing it showed wonderful skill
in judging distances the tongue was never
darted out until the insect came within a
certain range. The accuracy Of the crea-
lures aim was another matter for surprise.
The insects were generally in motion when
the tongue was darted out against them,
but the arrow never failed to hit.
The rapidity with which the tongue was
shot forth excited much wonder The
operation is a complex one. The tongue is
doubled or folded up when i'll the mouth;
therefore twofold action is required-an
uncoiling OF the weapon and then the dart
ing of it forth.
The Withdrawing of the tongue, with the
| captured insect on the tip, was not less re
| markable. Notwithstanding the rapid mo
ton, the fineness of the tongue tip and the
struggles of the prey, the victim was nevei
dropped.
The toad was so tame that it might just
ly be called demonstrated" IL would re
main quietly in one hand and take its food
from the other, provided a leaf were PLACED
on the hand which held it. Without thii
precaution the warmth of the human ski
was evidently annoying.
Few things seemed to please it more thai
to be placed ON a table in the evening wheI
the lamp was lighted. 1t would lool
around with the greatest confidence in 1t
cleaning eyes, and when insects wer
placed on the table it snapped them ul
with even greater rapidity than in its da.
huntings
In this way the toad lived for thirty 81,
years the pet of the neighborhood. |
might have lived many years more ha'
not a tame but spiteful raven pecked on
one Of its eyes.
The bird brought upon himself universe
hatred for this assault, but sympathy wa
no profit to the poor toad. He could n
longer measure distances accurately Q
aim with certainty, and he died in about
year after his injury, apparently froI

A correspondent has submitted to us for
examination a living creature which he
states was obtained from the inside Of a
timed pineapple, The fruit had been boiled
at Singapore previously to timing 1t, and
was then imported to this country. On
the tin being opened our correspondent was
somewhat surprised to find living insect
of strange and unknown appearance inha-
biting the inside of the pineapple. On ex-
smining the insect we found it to be the
larva of some beetle, the species Of which
could not be accurately ascertained, conse-
uuently it was impossible to say with GER
tmnty whether its natural food was vege
table or animal matter.
It is quite possible, however, that the
statement Of our correspondent regarding
the cooking of the pineapple may be cor
rect, for the fruit might have been imper
fectly or incompletely cooked. In that
case the temperature Of the interior might
never have reached so high degree as ts
cause coagulation Of the living tissues OF
Of the structure OF the egg or larva. Tbs
power OF many insects and mites to resist
both high temperatures and the action Of
many poisons is well known and exceed

The Eucalyptus in California.

The most valuable product Of the euca~
lyptus trees which are planted in Califor-
mia are the essential oil and certain medi-
cal preparations from the leaves The dis
titled extract from eucalyptus, which re-
sembles in its method Of production the
well known distilled extract Of witch hazel,
has come into prominence within few
years. IL is a concentrated extract from
freshly gathered leaves OF trees that are at
least seven years old, and the older the bet
ter. It is used for most Of the ailments
where the oil has been used, and has the
advantage of being cheaper.
It has been recommended for headaches
nervous affections, and as an antiseptic ii
has given good results when applied tc
fresh wounds and for Inflammation Of the
mucous membranes and insomnia; for cold
in the head and sore throat it is of service
while AZ a disinfectant it is useful from the
fact that, like the oil, it substitutes q
pleasant odor for noxious ones. The oil
has an established place in the materis
medica, and there is evidently field Of
usefulness for the distilled antiseptic.-

AN OLD SONG.

Where sunlight sets its latticed CLEANS
On oaken walls a-dance,
There Doris sits, there Doris dreams
OF mirth and old romance.
For while she plies the spinet's keys
And huns this ancient song,
She sees-through rudy light she secs
The hall with guests a-throng.
She hears the VOLS tender note
Lead forth the trembling flute,
To set with grace the light gavotts
For dancers blithe of foot.
Nor wots the maid that earth is boon
With tunes as bright today
IT'S still for youth a wistful tune
That once the world was gay.
So Doris dreams that bliss befen
When this old song was new,
Yet round these walls grim faces tell
How mirth was worn with rue.
