Remarkable Yarn About HOptOads.

"Hoptoad Hollow" near Morris.
town, N. j., is again the scene of its
curious animal gathering of those
harmless but unattraetive creatures.
Scientific men cannot account for
their singular habit of hopping about
in squads of several hundred each, or
why they lie on their backs on moon
light nights, and old Jackson Lully,
the hermit sassafras root farmer, who
is the only human being the toads do
not show fear of, refuses positively to
tell what he knows of their breeding
ground on his place. One peeuliarity
of the patriarchs of the colony is that
they always hop backward on the day
preceding a steady rainstorm, and
the efforts of the little toads to imi.
tate them is said to be very amusing
sight. New York Mail and Express.

banners of intemperance struck, the man
with his own tongue will reveal hts shame.
At first there will be something strange, in
his appearance or conduct. to awaken obser.

with all his carelessness, in some unguarded
moment he will take more than he can bear.
And now the secret is out. and these unac-
countable things are eXplained these ex-

happy man still dreaming that though he
erred little, he took such good care to con.

will even talk when his tongue is palsied to
ward of suspicion, aud thrust himself into
company, to show that he Is not drunk.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

More butter is injured in the ripen-
ing of the cream than at any other
point.
1t is undoubtedly true that food OF
all kinds favors milk to greater OF
less degree.
In Copenhagen last year 1928 per
cent. of the animals which entered the
slaughter houses were found to be
tuberoulous.
Nut cake made in India from rich,
nutritious nuts is being extensively
sold in Europe as far superior to oil
cake or oil meal.
The size of the COW and the amount
of food eaten are no indications of
what she will do at the pail or what
the milk will churn out.
The lady-bird beetle are usually
numerous this season. They are one
of the fruit growers best friends and
should never be destroyed.
Swamp muck is not generally as
valuable as it appears and requires to
be heavily dosed with lime the first
season to produce much effect.

Value OF a Brothers Ashes.

A novel claim is being made upon
one of the great French railway COM
panies. A gentleman who came to
Paris to have the body OF his deceased
brother cremated at the crematorium
at Pere la Chaise Cemetery, took the
ashes away in handbag, and, previous
to setting out on his return journey to
his home in the country, deposited
the bag at the "eonsigne," or cloak
room OF the railway station. When
he came back to claim it, it had gone.
Someone had come and claimed the
bag, and it had been given up, proba.
bly, in mistake. Inquiries were insti-
tuted. but the missing bag could not
be discovered. The gentleman has
brought action to recover damages
for the loss he has sustained, and the
judges will be called upon to decide
what is the money value of brothers
ashes.

Bee Trees i'm Florida

Five men went out to cut two bee
trees about four miles from Winder-
mere, Fla, that one of the party had
found the day before. After cutting
one tree aud taking twenty
pounds of honey, gum was placed in
position and the queen bee caught and
placed in the gum. The party left fo1
the other tree, distance of half
mile. On returning to get the bees a
little dog that was with them began
TO bark. On going to see what it
meant huge gopher snake eight feet
ten inches long and twenty aud half
inches in circumference was found
and in his mouth rattlesnake about
four feet long with six rattles and but,
ton. The large snake had the rattler
about half swallowed when found. A
large number of these trees have been
found in that vicinity this spring.
About thirty-seven have been cut
since the first of March, and about 450
pounds OF honey has been secured.
Two trees cut last week netted more
than sixty pounds of honey. -Savan-

PREMATURE soURNEss OF MILK.

This common trouble in hot weather
is mostly due to some infection of the
milk 10y acid of previous milkings ad-
herring to the pals. Sometimes it may
be caused by overheating of the COWS,
but rarely. The most common cause
is neglect perfectly to clean the pals
or milkpans, These should first be
cleaned in cold water, in which COM
mon washing soda is dissolved. A
stiff brush is used to clean the corners
thoroughly. The vessels are then
rinsed with hot water twice, then
again with cold, and then turned bot
tom upward on stand in shady
place out of doors to drain for an
hour or two, when they should be re-
moved to the dairy room. Before
being used they should be rinsed with
perfectly pure cold water. 1t Is
alleged, and possibly with truth, that
in the majority of instances in which
diseases have been conveyed in milk
the cause has been the use of impure
water for rinsing the utensils. New

1t has been chiefly within the last
five years, however, that "the coming
woman" has begun to take really Ma
tional position, and it was not until
1892 that the tendency became a craze
and women began to crowd into every
branch of business. Startling as are
the above figures, the census of 1900
may be expected to show an increase,
which, gratifying as it may be to the
woman enthusiasts, will undoubtedly
demand the close attention of those
who are authorities on industrial
problems. New York Mail and Ex-

for the famous tobacco habit cure called No

not for sale to the trust at any price. No
