HORNED ToADS.

Owner Started with One, but Now Has
Twenty-Six.
A horned toad from the plains Of
New Mexico came to Kansas City
about week ago, slowed away in the
pocket of hotel cook, who brought it
along as a curiosity. For awhile the
cook carried it about and finally gave
the toad to George P. Huckett, who
placed it in boz of sand in the win
dow TIE horned toad is a member
of the lizard family, and this peculiar
specimen, with it's spiked hack, at
tracted considerable attention. Yes
terdays morning when he went to- look
after the toad he found it husily en-
gagged in catching flies, but the reptile
was not alone. Basking in the warm
rays of the morning sun were twenty
five little horned toads, perfect coun-
terparts of their mother. They are
odd little fellows, no larger than a
thumb nail, looking very much like
baby, turtles. Their coats vary in color
from the gray of a dusty road to the
rich red-brown Of desert sand. They
are as lively as crickets, but when
handled roughly will curl up and s'play
'possum." But alas for maternal de-
yotion! Mrs. Toad has forsaken he1
children. She pays no attention to
them, and N the farthest corner of the
show window she stands with her face
against the pane, looking for some one
to take her away. However, the de.
xsertion does not weigh heavily on the
little horned toads. They catch. flies
and scuttle about as merri.y as if shift
ing for themselves was an old expert
ence to them. Kansas City Journal.

land Oregonian. used to make every
year a trip to the mountains, lasting
generally eight to ten days, and it
was on one of my last trips, about
four years ago, that discovered on
the northeast side Of the divide, be-
tween the waters Of the Bull Run and
the Hood rivers, this bunch Of giant
trees. 'rhe like I never saw before
I or since. Before ]. saw these; giants
had measured from time to. time
trees at home which girdled twenty
nine to thirty. feet around about three
feet above the base, but these trees
could not be compared at all with the
big trees I found In the mountains.
They would appear as mere sticks
against those giants. I honestly be.
lieve that those giants will girdle sixty
to eighty feet around near the base,
and that they are $50 to 400 feet high.
They stand on a kind Of fiat bottom
and this fat.is we'll protected from dis
covery, as far as could perceive, by
steep and high bluffs not only from
the Hood river side up, but from the
main water divide down.. These big
trees are, in my mind, somewhere near
the north line of the National park,
but it is doubtful if they are in it.
There are two species of the giant
trees. One species has a yelloWish and
not: very rough bark, is straight and
round as a candle, has limbs to- an
immense height, and has a nice, won
derful crown. The father of this very
aristocratic. species in our mountains
is surely the emperor of our forest.
People must not think that this tree
is the SO called 'snoble fir because I
know not only the noble fr,' but
many other mountain trees very we'll.
Nor must they think that this species
is one or the common trees IN the
mountains. I cannot say how many
such giants there are. There may be
hundreds, there may be thousands. On
our way home one of my companions
was drowned in the Bull Run, and,
therefore, never went to the noun
tain again, but I have always had a
desire to: go and investigate further
about those big trees. Cedar is the
second species of the big trees. They
rival in size and grandeur the first
species. But the most wond derfuI thing

The Chinese have never made any
great effort to insure their lives. it is
true, but those who tried found it al

objections to their being considered

There are but three American life
insurance companies which have writ
ten any business in all Asia. One of
these has placed most Of its policies
in India. another has made, special
effort in China. but most of the poll

IN which the goods in that case were
frogs intended for food, though there
was no contention that they were for
any other purpose and the sole ques-
tion was whether they were dutiable
as prepared meats or as dead frogs.
The statement Of the lizard importers
showed that the lizards are used only
as medicines, being boiled in water, as
herbs and similar articles are pre-
pared. This eoncoction is drunk to
impart vigor and strength. Several
years ago, however, the Treasury De
partment was called upon to decide
this same question, and it held then
that the stuff was medicinal prepara-
tion. Therefore, In accordance with.
this decision, the New York general
appraisers announced that the dried
lizards are dutiable as a, medicinal
preparation, as assessed.
