Toad Buried for Years.

While making excavations in connec-
ton with the widening of n square at
West Roxbmy, district of Boston, .
workman digging at depth of eight OF
nine feet, noticed peculiar ball of
dirt. He picked 1t up and broke it
open and was surprised to find that the
crust of clay contained toad.
The workman called the attention Of
the boss to the find, and as they were
examining it the toad began to expand.
1t then began to extend its legs, opened
its eyes and in minute jumped from
the Iaborer's hand. The boss said thai
the road at that point had not to his
knowledge been opened in 10 years, ant
how the toad had lived in its comatost
condition all those years was the matter
of the greatest wonder to all who wit
messed its revival.

HINDOOS GOOD SERVANTS.
Tourist from India Thinks They Would
be Success in This Country

Tourist from India Thinks They Would
be Success in This Country.
A traveller who has recently returned
from India expressed surprise that there
were not more personal servants brought
here from India, says the New York
Tribune. He regards the regular native
OF India as about the finest possible type
OF body servant.
In India" said the traveller, ''nearly
everyone keeps his bearer with him all
the time. His studious care and faithful
ness are remarkable. Kipling has out
lined in a way the traits of these serv-
ants in 'Gunga DIM He wakes you in
the morning and brings in tea. He pre-
pares your bath. He brushes and lays
wearing apparel. He stands behind your
chair at breakfast and knows just how
you like your coffee and gets it out of
the kitchen and prepares it for you. If
you want to send note he takes it. If
you want to go anywhere he gets up on
the seat Of the cab with the driver. He
waits on you at luncheon at the hotel.
II you take luncheon with someone at
hotel, club or private house he goes just
the same and takes up his watchful
stand behind your chair. He gets out
your evening clothes He sees you safe
y IN bed, and his pleasant good night
is the last thing you hear and his smil-
ing face is the first thing you see in the
morning. He is always immaculate in
white turban and flowing skirt. He gets
his own food when convenient. You
don't know when or how.
If you wish it he sleeps outside your
door with never a sound to betray his
presence, and the eight-hour labor law to
him is unknown. He will buy you any
trife for less than you can get it, and
even at this is supposed to make a small
commission. He is Hindoo, but talks
your language. He does every conceiv-
able thing for you, and you don't even
have to think, and he does all this for
about 10 cents a day. There are no per-
sonal servants in the Western world that
can compare with them"

A gentleman was once being shown
over an idiot asylum, says Sir Wilfred
Lawson, in Answers. He asked an at
tendant how they knew when an idiot
was considered to be sufficiently restored
to sanity to be discharged.
''Oh," said the attendant, sit is easily
managed. We take them into a yard
where there are several troughs. We
turn ON the taps and then give the idiots
buckets to bale out the water and empty
the troughs. Many of them go on baling
away while the tap keeps running. but
them that isn't idiots stops the tap.
