Minneapolis Times. As he moved
ward the clerks desk he emphasized
his presence by humping upon the
marble door with his heavy cane. His
peculiar appearance, togetaer with the

Of the guests and they watched him
~euriously as he lowered his bundle and
afterward brushed aside the hotel reg

him.

QUEER THINGS ABOUT FROGS.


a remarkable thing about these
creatures is that the larger part Of the
breathing is done through the skin
In fact, it is said that this supply OF
air is a necessary addition to that
taken in by ordinary breathing, as the
latter does not supply sufficient air 70
support life IN a frog. Another pecu-
liar thing about the skin Of a frog IS
Is powerful absorption of water. This
is due, Of course, to the numberless
miuute pores with which their skin IS
provided. 1t has been proved that q
frog can thus soak up half its weight
Of water in an hour. The soaking OF
water is what gives the frogs KIN
such a cold, clammy and uncanny feel
ing when handled. and it explains q
strange thing. Though a bullfrog were
pOked with a red-hOt iron, Il would MOI
feel it enough to move out Of It's tracks
for the moisture on the skin forms q
kind Of film of vapor between 1t ana
the iron, which it takes time to heat
through and so the frog would not
feel pain from the heat. Yet If hol
water is dropped upon him, he VIII
instantly jump from pain as this neaI
at once strikes into the skin. A froE
has another safeguard against dTyin-
CD-that is a kind Of interior sack lot
storing water. Like the camel, II thus
keeps a supply which carries It over
many a dry place, when 1t would otneI
wise lose all it's moisture and die me
water is as pure and tasteless as thar q
any spring-St Nicholas.

INVITATION 10 GO FISHING.

Through ~ledlieSS wood and so.ided field
The fairies Of the o have sped.
Till bursting buds their perfumes yield,
And Earth awakes at summers tread.
How easy now the truth is found
In that old story told Of one
Whose strength was drawn from out
the ground
His mothers gift to worthy son.
1t is that we must have recourse
70 running stream, to woods and
flowers;
Like hart the brook, must seek the
source
Of life and fresh Our tagging powers.
A thousand jewels deck the lawn;
The bees to every hedge are drawn:
Sweet murmurs, like the Sirens singing,
Allur1ng, in our ears are ringing.
High overhead, in amOrous talk,
Midst shady boughs, the birds rejoice;
The leaflets smile; and, as we walk,
Shy violet peeps and lifts her head.
The river DER the falls goes ASKING,
And rushing headlong DER its bed.
The rivers just as we've been wishing.
Away with care. Come, Let's 20

Captain Molard, professor at ST.
Cyr, Francs West Point, who ought
to be good authority, has made care
full calculation of the force of soldiers
now under call in Europe. He puts
France at the head, with $500, 900; /;
next, Russia with 2, 451, 600; close upon
her, Germany with 2,417, 1000; then,
after long interval, Italy, with l, ,5l4,-
900; while fifth among the armies
comes that of Austria-H Hungary, with
1850, ,000 A great drop brings us to
Turkey, with 100000; to England,
with 342, 900; and to Spain, with 800, =
000 The lesser powers put together
can muster / ,2S9, 900, so that the ag-
gregate would be ~, 563, OOO 1t is n
tremendous aggregate for Europe to
maintain, comments the New York
Sun. However, only a small part of
these forces are constantly with the
colors, forming what We should call
the regular or standing army, They
include the reserves of various grades,
and perhaps only fourth or a fifth of
the whole body are always under arms.
These figures, nevertheless, as we un-
derstand the matter, shows us the
number on the rolls or in the calcula-
tions for possible use in time of war,
and for which provision is made of
some sort in the military budgets.
But Captain Molard expects these num-
bers to be far outdone seven years
hence. From various calculations and
surmises he concludes that in the year
1900 Germany will have 5000, 900 sol
diers; France, 1850, 900; Russia, A.,
600, 900; Italy, 2,236,OOO Austria
Hungary, 1900, 900; Turkey, 1,15O,-
900; Spain, 1000; England, 6O2, -
600, and the smaller powers 2, 1892, 900.
Here would be prodigious aggregate
of %, 420, 900. This calculation for the
year 1900 supposes, therefore, an nd
dition of nearly 100000 to the
crushing military establishments of to-
day. 1t is not beyond the domain of
a reasonable possibility that before the
Twentieth Century arrives the huge
military fabric of Europe will tumble
of its own weight, and that, under
general plan of disarmament, the
armies of that period, instead of being
nearly double those of 1898, may not
be more thAA bali as great.

Dinner was announced, however,
before the young man appeared, so
it must again be deferred.
IF lie Roy knew that his father had
seen that check he was either most
remarkable actor or hardened villain.
There was in his manner not the slight
est trace of nervousness or fear. If
any change could be discerned il was n
slight increase of the respect and
tenderness in his manner toward his
father, which had withstood all indul-
gence.
As they passed into the library after
dinner, LIE Roy remained standing at
the table when his father was seated.
'T am going to the opera tonight
with Mrs. Van Cruger's party" he
said "but before I go want to say to
you, sir, that I have been thinking
things over for the past few days and 1
begin to realize little of what you
have done for me. / have never been
appreciative nor grateful, I know, and
great deal of it all has been thrown
away, but whatever l can do now to
make up for it shall try to do faith
fully, and-honestly. Good night,
sir.
And leaning down he put his arms
around his fathers neck-as he had
done years ago-and kissed the glow
ing, grand old face with new reverence
and solemnity.
1t was the only reference either man
every made to this one dishonesty in
lie Roy Leonard's brilliant and honor
able career. .-Elmira IN. W Argosy.

Bell Founding.

The art of bell founding is undoubt-
edly of great antiquity. The Saxons
are known to have used bells in their
churches, although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing
at the end of the Seventh Century, al
ludes to them in terms which seem to
show that they were not unfamiliar
things. The towers of the Saxon period
have belfries( { considerable dimen-
sions, in most cases; and at Crowland
Abbey, in South Lincolnshire, there
was famous peal of seven bells many
years before the Norman Conquest.
The monks at that time, and for long
after, were the chief practitioners of
the art of bell founding which, in
deed, is one of the many things those
well-abused men have handed down to
us. Their bells were rarely without
inscriptions, often in very bad Latin,
containing perhaps some obscure joke,
the point of which is quite lost. More
often they were of a religious nature,
sometimes, we fear, not unmixed with
a dash of superstition, as when the bell
declares that its sound drives away the
demons of the air who caused pestil-
ence and famine, lightning and thun-
derstorms. As rule, unfortunately,
they put no dates on their bells, de-
feet which has been in some measure
overcome by the researches of many
enthusiastic campanologists, but which
is likely to keep the early history of
bells shrouded in darkness for long
time to come.-Gentleman's Maga-
zine

LOVES FIRST KISS

Sweetheart, twas but while ago-it scarce
seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow and
all your curls are gray
When, walking in the twilight haze, ere stars
had smiled above,
whispered soft al love you, and you kissed
me for that love
The first kiss. dear and then your hand
your little hand 80 sweet,
And whittier than the white, white sand that
twlnkled meath your feet
Laid tenderly within my own Have queens
such lovely hands2
No wonder that the whip-poor-wills made
sweet the autumn lands
II seemed TO me that my poor heart would
beat to death and break,
While all the world, sweetheart ! sweetheart !
seemed singing for your sake;
And every rose that barred the way in glad
and dying grace,
Forgot its faded summer day and, leaning,
kissed your face
I envied all the roses then, and all the rosy
ways
That blossomed for your sake are still my
ife's bright yesterdays;
But thinking Of that first sweet kiss and that
first clasp Of hands,
I4ife's whip-poor-wills sing sweeter now
though all the winter lands!

A Generous Cat.

A member of the Geological Society
says; II once had cat which always
sat up to the dinner table with me,
and had his napkin round his neck and
his plate and some fish. He used his
paw, of course, but he was very par
ticular and behaved with extraordi-
nary decorum. When he had finished
his fish l sometimes gave him piece
of mine. One day he was not TO be
found when the dinner bell rang,
so we began without him. Just as
the plates were put round puss
came rushing upstairs and sprang
into his chair, with two mice in his
mouth. Before he could be stopped
he dropped a mouse ON his own plate
and then one ON mine. He had di-
vided his dinner with me, as l had
often divided mine with him. Lon

The Boys Festival in japan.

The great event of May, in Japan, is
the celebration on the fifth day of the
month of the boys festival 1t is
called Nobori-no-sekku, festival of
flags, or Shoby-no-sekku, festival of
reeds. Before the door of every abode
which has been blessed by the birth of
boys during the past seven years, rises
tall bamboo pole, from the top of
which are flung TO the breeze gigantic
carp-koe-made of paper or woven
stuffs in brilliant colors, one for every
son. This particular fish is chosen for
symbol because it swims stoutly
against stream, and even up rapids,
leaping cascades to the higher waters.
This implies that the boys in like man
ner must be sturdy and indomitable,
stemming courageously the stormy
currents of life's stream. Flags also
are raised before the houses, bearing
pictures of the Chinese mythical hero
Shoki, as an example of strength and
bravery. Weapons, armor and pic
lures of heroes and horses are chosen
for the decoration of the tokonoma,
the slightly raised platform which is
the place of honor in every living
room.
The flower held in highest favor for
this festival is the iris; but kind of
early chrysanthemum, and particular
variety of bamboo, called moso-chiku,
are also used. Bundles of reeds and
mugwort are fastened to the projecting
roofs of the houses on this day

A compendium of consular reports
ON the condition of European roads has
Just been issued by the State Depart.
ment at Washington. Two features of
this report should be of especial in-
terest to American farmers. In the
first place, the highways of France,
Germany, England, Holland and
Belgium are far superior to those of
the United States. A fair sample of
the statements on this point is that of
one of the consuls in France. He
says: 'Ihe wagon roads of France,
always passable and reaching all centres
of population, no matter how small,
are the chief competitors of the rail
ways, as means of communication by
water are not numerous. The other
point which ought to interest American
farmers, adds the Chicago Herald, is the
effect which these splendid roads have
had on the price of land and ON the
prosperity of the small landowners,

A Kentuckian who entered the

Supreme Court recently says there

one of them making a prosy speech

seemingly was an appropriate atmos-

The Railway Suspension Bridge at
Niagara, the first of its kind in this
country, and for many years regarded
as a wonder second only to the great
cataract, has outlived its capacity, de-
clares the New York Mail and Express,

another and greater structure. This
old bridge was the first of the marvel
ous triumphs of our engineers, who
have now progressed far beyond it, aud
who have come TO regard it as very
ordinary affair.

Courteous bandits Of China.

The robbers of China are banded to-
gether, and form a terrible compact
If a bank in the city wishes to send a
large amount of money to Pekin, the
banker sends a gift TO the chief of the
banditti infesting the territory through
which the money is about to pass, tell
ing him the time the silver will be sent,
and requesting that it be not disturbed.
When such request is made, ac-
companied by a handsome present, it is
usually honored. These banditti are
not the only robbers. The Government
is engaged in the same business.
Taxes are very high, and every time
one comes in contact with the rulers il

Justice Field, of the United States
Supreme Court, has denied the appeal
of the State of Virginia for readiust-
ment of the boundary between that
State and Tennessee. The disputed
territory is strip from two to eight
miles wide from the North Carolina
line, a due, west course in latitude
36. 80 north to the Kentucky line. The
court held that the present line had
been recognized as the true boundary
for over eighty-five years.

A reform movement seems to be
sweeping over our Southern neighbor
Mexico, notes the Independent.
States have passed laws abolishing
bull fighting, and it is expected that
the National Congress will complete
the work by general prohibitory bill.
This is very gratifying indication of
the working of good influences in our
sister Republic. Mexico without bull
fights and without revolutions is Mex
leo under the control of the new civ
iliZation.
