Nnise Ernn Toad.

1t is a 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. Amy one who had
only heard without seeing a bullfrog
might well 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 by a recent traveller in the high
lands of Borneo. He was informed by
natives that they had heard a tiger roar
ing in the neighborhood. Such news is
always startling to a stranger in the jun
giles Of the east and hardly less 50 to the
natives.
An investigation was accordingly set on
foot, which resulted in the discovery
that the alarming roars had been emitted
by a toadl This toad of Borneo, how.
ever, was by no. means an ordinary mem.
Der Of the family. 1t measured no less
than 14t inches around the body.
That the natives should not have rec
ognized the true source Of the sound
shows that the existence Of such toadi
was either unknown to them, OF that, al
any rate, they had never discovered the
remarkable vocal capabilities Of the ami
mals.-Youth's Companion.

When the Buffalo Disappeared.

In 1876 Fort Benton alone sent 50, 900
buffalo hides to market. In 1888 two
carloads were shipped from Dickinson,
North Dakota. In 1884 Fort Benton
sent none at all. In 1879 little band
of the animals were known to be graz
ing near Fort Totten, on Devil Lake,
North Dakota, and it is believed that
these animals furnished the two carloads
of robes which came eastward to St.
Paul from Dickinson in 1888. This was
the last year of the buffalo-1ss3. A
herd, numbering perhaps 81, 1000, crossed
the Yellowstone river in that year and
went north toward the British line.
"They never came back" is the pitiful
refrain which one hears from the In
dians along the border from Winnipeg
in Manitoba to st. Mary's Lakes in Al
berta.
No, they never came back while rid;
ing with the officers of the Nanadian
mounted police through Alberta, they
told me the story Of this last year of the
buffalo, but it was never told twice alike
by any two men, for a strange mystery
seems to hang over the closing scene Of
the great crime which annihilated the
mighty herds.-Hamlin Russell in Har-
per's.

The Right and Left.

The buttons on coats, ETC., are placed
on the right side and the shed of the
hair in boys to the left, evidently TO suit
manipulation by the right hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his astronomical OBJ
servations TO his right eye, but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do this,
owing to the unequal strength of their
eyes. Strange to say, the Chinese assign
the place Of honor to the left.
At Kunyenye, in Africa, Cameron re-
lates being introduced to the heir pre-
sumptive to the throne, the nails OF
whose left hand had been allowed to
grow to an enormous length as a sign OF
high rank, proving that he was never re-
quired to perform manual labor, and
also providing him with the means Of
tearing the meat which formed his usual
diet.-Chambers' journal.

A slIp MAJ No. onee a rller.

It is fact and one that may not be
generally known that the United States
government label placed on every box of
imported cigars sold in the United States
bears a fine steel plate engraving Of the
steamer City of Washington, a sister
ship Of the i'll fated City of Boston. In
the year 1861 the City Of Washington,
then plying between New York and
Liverpool. covered the passage to the
westward in January in IA days 5hours,
April, 10 days 2l hours; May, 10 days 2i

September, 13 days 20 hours, and De
cember, 10 days 10 hours.
In December, 1862, she made the trip
from Sandy Hook to Queenstown in what
was then the remarkably fast time of 8
days 19hours and 30 0seconds. The City
of London made several passages to the
eastward in 1868 and 1864 in less than II
days.-New York World.

A clever Parrot,

F. X. Zeigler of Columbus, Pa, has a
parrot named Dick that is considered
one Of the family and is perhaps one of
the most intelligent birds Of its species
in the world. Dick always takes a hand
in household matters. If Mr.. Zeigler's
son does not get up in the morning at
the usual hour to go to the Office, the
parrot will say to the girl, "Call Glen, "
and he will insist on his command being
obeyed. Irecalled on one occasion when
the family was earnestly discussing some
local event Dick broke in as follows:

A Hlnt ror Rnlnr wenther.

During a recent stormy day a gentle
man who had no umbrella. and who had
just come into town by a local train,
perceived before him as he stepped into
the street a person whom he took to be
an acquaintance, and who had fine
new umbrella hoisted over his head.
Runningup to him, therefore, he clapped
him on the shoulder, saying as he did SO
by way Of a joke, "rll take that um-
brella, if you please" The individual
thus addressed looked round and dis
closed a perfect stranger, but before the
other could apologize he said hurriedly:
"Oh, it's yours, is it? Well, 1 didn't
know that. Here, you can have it. and

hands of the first party TO the converse

true, affords a valuable hint to persons

PATIENCE.
4 Easy words 10 sneak

Be patientl 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.
Failing so glibly from the tongue
OF those--I often think Of this
Whom suffering has never wrung,
Who scarcely know what patience is.
BE patient when the suff'rer lies
Prostrate beneath some fell disease.
And longs, through torturing agonies,
Only for one short hour Of ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious care
And troubles In an endless train
Seem almost more than II can bear.
To feel the torture Of delay,
The agony Of hope deferrl,
To labor still from day TO deE,
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 win pass; the port is nigh.
Be patient. and the tide will turn,
Shadows win fee before the sun.
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.

Hrnnotlsm 1n a New Ilrht.

Hypnotism is apparently a distinct
Portland fad. A nervous young lady in
that city, who was to read paper before
a literary society, got a doctor to hypno-
tie her so that she shouldn't become rat
tied, and the result was perfect compos-
ure during the ordeal. The literary es-
say quite often succeeds in hypnotizing
the audience into a dnlciously devital-
lied condition, but the idea of putting
the reader to sleep is brand new.-Ban-

Three Curious wSAis.

Filibuster, freebooter and buccaneer
are words curiously interrelated. The
French and the English sea adventurers
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 possess
sions. Filibuster is said to be the result
of an attempt to make 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 jerked meat of their flesh, and
finally, because this meat was used to
provision the ships Of the sea rovers, a
filibuster or freebooter.-Ne York Sun.

A sinrnInr Coincidence.

"I am not fatahst," said T. Davitt

things that puzzle a great deal. Not

about 16 months since. A few days
after his illness l noticed that one Of the
white letters had dropped off and was
gone. The illness Of the doctor caused
the family to forget most everything
else, and SO the letter was not replaced.
"a month later Hewitt was still sick,
and noticed a second letter was gone.
He fingered. along, up and around now,
and then sick again, for period. Mean
time the white letters were not replaced.
Month. after month went by, and every
succeeding month saw letter disappear.
Hewitt noticed it, and then he would
not allow them to be replaced. After
over 10 montaa Of sickness, and when 1C
of the letters had disappeared DR.. Tom

Oculists in New York perform the
most delicate surgical operations. There
are two or three in the city whose in

100000 year and who treat thousands
Of patients every year. They conduct
their work with the most absolute dis
regard of the worldly position of their
patients. From many of their patients
they receive no fee for their services.
