ing News, one Of the brightest and snap
piest papers in the west. The News is

not tinged with partisan bias or personal
prejudice. Lincoln is the social, politi-
cal and educational center of the state

held is demonstrated by the fact that its
city circulation is over 400, three times
as many as any other Lincon paper. IF

the state capita! send ten cents for a
weeks trial subscription to The News
Publishing Co., Lincoln, Neb.,-and you

This Frog WEIGHED q Ton.

The labyrinthodon, a huge creature re-
sembling a toad or a frog, and which
lived in the earlier periods Of or planets
history, has been found in a surprising
state of preservation in the mari beds of
Huezelweitz, Hungary. All species of
this gigantic frog are now extinct and
are known to the naturalists only through
the Investigations of the biologists, who
have often found parts or entire fossils
of the monster in strata of the ~triassic
portion Of the mesozoic period. South
wick mentions it in a three line entry in
his s'Quizzism and Key" under the head
ga Frog as Large as an OK" and in
Barnett's theological Epochs" it is con-
sidered in a chapter on "Huge Froglike
Creatures of the Mesozoic Age"
The specimen unearthed in the Hun
garian mari bed is entire with the excep-
ton of the left forearm and the lower
jaw. The skull measures 10 inches be-
tween the eye sockets and weighs, ex-
elusive of the missing underjaw, 312
pounds. The bones which have been dis
covered up to date (and there is still
hopes of finding the missing parts), with
the adhering matrix, weigh 1850 pounds,
almost a ton.-St. Louis Republic.

The Jury Suited the Lawyer.

A Chicago attorney, somewhat noted
for his sharp practice, sent his client one
day to watch the case. Word came to
him that his case was next on the docket,
and he hurried over to find the opposing
counsel already beginning. In vain he
looked for his client. He was nowhere
to be seen. In vain he asked for delay,
but the court told him that the careless
ness of a client would not allow such a
thing. At last he glanced into the jury
box and saw his client there.
The stupid man had thought he heard
his name called and had marched in
with the rest. The opposing counsel was
so anxious to hurry the case along that
he neglected to examine the jury. See
ing the thing was in his own hands, the
Chicago attorney turned to the court.
II withdraw all objection" he said. 81

No Bogus italian Counts,

American heiresses need have little
fear of bogus Italian counts for the same
reason that there is no imitation Italian
wine-the real article is too cheap. The
possession of a title in Palermo gives
nothing great of itself, but its indispen-
sable accompaniment is a carriage, horses
and driver in livery. To maintain these
on an income of next to nothing a year
it is often necessary to eat macaroni
and thick soup for a regular diet, do a
great part of ones homework in gloomy,
faded apartments and sit about in old
clothes all day long to await the magic
hour of 8 p. M. Then mother and daugh-
ter don their finery, the carriage is driv-
en- to the door and it begins-the long,
ceremonious drive to La Favorita and
the Giardino Inglese.-Stirling Heilig's

COLONEL PHILLIPS, sPEcTAcLEs.
Story IF Their Use as Related by the Big
Hairy MAJ From the Prairies.

Story IF Their Use as Related by the Big
Hairy Man From the Prairies.
"The way you Chicago people look at
things reminds me of my old friend,
Colonel John Phillips"
The speaker was a large, hairy man,
with a. big SLOUGH hat and q voice evil
IDENTIFY better adapted to the acoustic
properties of the prairie than the smok-
ing room. He appeared to realize this
as he glanced around and saw every man
in the room looking toward him, some
smiling, some scowling.
"Tell us about your friend, the colo
nel," suggested a real estate agent who
had the hairy giant on the string for a
big cash trade.
"Why," continued the big man with
the prairie voice, phillips saw every
thing that belonged to him big and ev-
erything belonging to me small"-
"That's human nature" the agent
vas suggesting, but the prairie man in
terrupted with:
"No, 'twan't no human nature. twas
spectacles! He got 'em made in this
town. l / believe you people all wear em
too
"What peculiar properties did your
friends spectacles possess?' asked a Gu
rious listener.
''Just as I've said. They made his
property loom up in regular Chicago
Worlds fair fashion, but squashed other
peoples stuff worse'n a Zimri Dwiggins
bank'-
How could he do this?"
why, the blamed lenses worked on
an axis and showed things telescope fash
ion, you know. S'pose there was a horse
trade up; he'd let you look at your own
horse through the ordinary little end of
his glasses, but when you came to look
at his he'd get at his specks again under
some pretext-just Tipping 'em over the
magnifying way-and you'd see a mag
nificent animal. 1t was the same way
with houses, tracts of land, wheatfelds,
changing money-anything. Once you
looked through his glasses at anything,
you were his victim, for you felt as if
you couldn't live until you'd traded just
as Phillips wanted you to. But he met
his reward. He tried a bluff game on
big Buffalo Jones of Arizona, to whom
he had by that specialized jugglery sold
100 jackass rabbits for burrows, and
looked at big Jones six gun through the
little end of his glasses, trying to put
him down small, you know. But, alas,
it didn't work."
"What happened?' asked the agent.
big Jones' gun went off repeatedly
just as Colonel Phillips was adjusting
his glasses. It was as well perhaps"
continued the prairie man, dropping his
voice so low that the believing of tugs
in the river and lake could again be
heard, 'for my friend had acquired
such a habit of tryingto talk up to the
magnifying side of these glasses that his
long enjoyed reputation for veracity
was entirely spilled. We buried him at
Big Jones expense, and to prevent a re-
currence of such Il tragedy I took pos
session of the spectacles, and"-
whatever became of them?" asked a
hungry looking man who had gone broke
on a World fair hotel scheme.

Seeing by Electricity.

The mention of electricity brought
up new possibilities for future discov-
cry, some of them so amazing az to al
most pass the bounds of credibility.
Professor Bell said
morse taught the world years ago
to write at distance by electricity; the
telephone enables us to talk at dis
lance by electricity; and now scientists
are agreed that there is no theoretical
reason why the well-known principles
of light should not be applied in the
same way that the principles of sound
have been applied in the telephone,
and thus allow us to see at distance
by electricity. 1t is some ten years
since the scientific papers of the world
were greatly exercised over a report
that | had filed at the Smithsonian In
stitution sealed packet supposed to
contain a method of doing this very
thing; that is, transm nit the visions of
persons and things from one point of
the earth to another. AS matter of
fact there was no truth in the report,
bui it resulted in stirring up a dozen
scientific men of eminence to come out
with statements to the effect that they
wv bod dloSONOitu fdIlOuo luClAOuo vi
seeing by electricity. That shows what
l know to be the case, that men are
working at this great problem in many
laboratories, and firmly believe it will
be solved one day. OF course, while the
principle of seeing by electricity at a
distance is precisely that applied in the
telephone, yet it will be very much
more difficult to construct such an APP
paratus, owing to the immensely greater
rapidity with which the vibrations of
light take place when compared with
the vibrations Of sound. 1t is merely
question, however, of finding a dia-
phragm which will be sufficiently SEN
sitive to receive these vibrations and
produce the corresponding electrical
variations. From McCMre'S Mdgazint

Advice TO Boys.

Horace Mann gives this bit of advice
to boys: "You were made to be kind
boys-generous, magnanimous. If there
is boy in school who has a clubfoot,
don't let him know you ever saw it,.
If there is boy with ragged clothes,
don't talk about rags in his hearing. Ii
there is lame boy, assign him some
part of the game that does not require
running. If there is a hungry one,
give him part of your dinner. If there
is dull one, help him to get his lessons.
If there be bright boy, be not envious
of him, for if one boy is proud of his
talents, and another is envious OF them,
there are two great wrongs, and no
more talent than before. "-Erchange.

The Secret of Fascinating.

Doubtless thousands of young people,
and not small number of old ones,
wish every day of their lives that they
could learn the secret of fascinating
others by means of their graceful, ex-
quisite manners. The secret is an open
one. 1t ia so easy to learn that it lies
all neglected by the wayside, while
they who would give their dearest
treasure to find it pass unknowing. 1t
is only this: Fill your heart with good
will to everybody and then practice at
all times the best manners you know,
particularly at home. If you begin at
home, this charming manner will, 80 to
speak, get settled on you and never
leave you. Be just as polite to your
sister as you would to your best
girl. Strive to gain the good will of
mother, father, and brothers and sisters,
and children, exactly as you strive to
gain good will abroad. There is no
place for practicing manners like the
home circle; no place, permit me to
say, where it will be so appreciated. 1t
will be a cultivation of heart, mind and
body, this endeavor to feel nothing but
affection for the people at home and
treat them as though they were worthy
of as much consideration at your hands
as if they were the president and his
family So they are worthy. Then
from the home will float out around you
those sweet, magnetic influences which
will draw the hearts of mankind toward
you.-JenneSS Miller Monthly.
