The Beers as Il body are unprogress-

The British are progressive, active and
for adventure. The Beers are
hunters and cattle owners. The British
are miners and traders. The British
have the forces of education. science
and capital on their side; the Beers, on
the other hand, decline to avail them

TIE Beers receive 10 reimbursement by

Of new patches Of emigrants. Given

One of the most interesting species of
frogs that have been described is the
IL discovered Ey Mr.. Wallace in Bor-
neo q number Of years ago. 1t has been
popularity called tho''fying frog, from
the fact that it has tOcs of great length,
and these are fully webbed TO the tips.
If the animal wishes to descend from
the top of Il high tree. it has only to
make the leap, and by spreading out its
toes it converts its feet into four veri-
table ~parachutes, and thus this little
aerial batrachian reaches terra firma in
safety. Among the most curious types
are the tree frogs, and Gibson says these
''aIe readily distinguished from all 9th
ers by having the ends Of their toes di-
lated into knobs or disks. generally pro-
vided with Il sticky secretion, by means
Of which they Il cling to the leaves
and branches of trees. They are small,
elegant and exceedingly active creatures,
the males possessing loud voices, Of
which they make copious use during tho
breeding season and on the approach Of
rain. Popular Science Monthly.

One of the attendants at n local hos

often causes the doctors much annoyance
by reason of his ovcrcautiOn. 1t is rarely
that he can be persuaded to apply enough
of the annsthetic to produce the desired
effect without continual urging on the
part of the doctor who is to use the
knife. The other day a patient vas
about to be operated upon and the old

attendant. The doctor thought other

demonstrating against applying any
more, the attendant was about to COM

suddenly jumped back, c%Sclaiming:

park came to an end today. The
weather was fine, and the rack in. good
rendition after the soaking rain of the
night before. The feature of the days
sport was the unexpected defeat of
Page in the three minute stake race.
Van Zandt won after an exciting con-
test of five heats. The third heat was
very closely contested, both horses
sticking to their stride and finishing
heads apart. Van Zandt was first at
the wire by a good head, according to
everybody outside of the judges, and
there was almost a riot When the Of
ficials, after hesitating nearly a quarter
of an hour decided it a dead heat,
groans, boots and Kisses greeting the
announcement. In the fourth heat,
Van Zandt fought valiantly and won
by an open length. Page was now tired
and the mare beat him in a jog at the
finish of the fifth heat, amid vocife:ous
cheering from the excited spectators
whose sympathies were all with Van
Zandt. The driving club may hold an
other meeting next month.
