and II you will purchase couple Of
them, Just for company for each other,
you will never be caught out in the

little weather prophets are newcomers
in our land, being German immigrants.
They have been shown for few days
In . large bird store. When I saw
them, the little frogs were perched ON
two sticks, which ran across . glass
sided affair, like an aquarium box.
These sticks were almost at the top of
the box, which was about half hlled
with water. Tho majority OF the little
fellows were dull brown, very nearly
the color Of The stick on which they
sat. and few were between green and
brown. These frogs are really tree
frogs, and have the faculty Of changing
their color to match the color Of the
object on which they are perched.
They receive the name of weather
frogs" because they jump into the
water upon the approach Of rain or
bad weather. and come out again when
the weather shows signs of changing
to clear. When full grown these tiny
frogs are little more than an inch
in length. In captivity, the weather
frog is kept in glass pan or globe,

L.istsoing for That Voice That It would
Never Hear Again.
An old elephant taken into battle on
the plains Of India was = standard
bearer and carried on his huge back
the royal ensign, the rallyins point Of
the Poona host, says the New York
Press. At the beginning Of the hght
he lost his master. The "mahout" or
driver had Just given the word to halt,
when he received fatal wound and
fell to the ground, where he lay under
Q heap OF slain. The obedient elephant
stood still while the battle closed
around him and the standard he car
ried. He never stirred foot, refus-
became hotter and hercer, until the
Mahrattas seeing the standard still
flying steadily In Its place. refused to
believe that they were being beaten.
and rallied again and again around tae
colors. And all this while, amid the
din Of battle, the patient animal stood
straining Its cars to catch the sound OF
that yoice 1t would never hear again.
At length the tide OF conquest left the
field deserted. The Mahrattas swept ON
In pursuit Of the flying foe, but the
elephant, like Q rock, stood there with
the dead and dying around and the en-
Sign waving in its place. For three
days and nights It remained where Its
master had given the command to halt.
No bride or threat could move 1t. They
then sent to q village 100 miles away
and brought the mahout's little son.

taking Of further sworn evidence touch

is morally pronounced not guilty. The
