SuperstitlOua Ab0ut Toada,

It is related of the American In
dams that they believe that a council
OF the gods was held for producing
light at night. The whip-poor- will
made the moon out OF large frog
and the GOODNESS of tho moon is attrib.
uted to the frogs natural coldness.
Another tradition related of savage
tribes 10 that the toad quarreled with
the woodpecker and caused the del.
rge. It Is said that they disputed
over honey which the toad was in.
duced to climb q tree in order to OBJ.
tain. Then the woodpecker knocked
tho toad out Of the tree, aud in re-
vange the toad drank up all the water
on the earth, leaving the birds dry
and thirsty. In q subsequent quar-
rel the toad incautiously danced about
until it burst, and the water covered
the earth in q flood.
In Maryland tho bite of the toad is
considered poisonous, if not deadly.
An old superstition is that handling
oads will cause warts to grow on tho
lands.

Cats Can Swim.

"Can cats swim2 was asked OF an
FOLD fisherman. 1T:
+ Why, certainly" was the reply,
land that reminds me OF cat l once
tried to drown that sSS>m ashore
Surely Sure there must have er hundreds
or thousands of people WHO have
drowned cats in the same way, but
nevertheless this was an experience Of
my own.: We had a atthat we wanted
to get rid of. and as humane way as
any to kill it was by drowning. So
put couple of bricks in the bottom
Of an old grain sack, and put in the
cat, and tied the bag up carefully and
securely and walked down to the end
of q wharf and stood there aud swung
the bag with the cat and the bricks IN
it round like sling until I could give
lit q good momentum and then let it
o,.and slung it out to fall and sink in
the water, I should say twenty feet
''I supposed, of course, that that
cwas the last Of the cat; but the next
morning the first thing saw when
went out of the house was the cat sit.
ting on the veranda.
,,..~ II suppose the bag had weak spot
in it somewhere the bricks were
heayysand sharp-cornerad and swing.
ing the bag round that way started it |
more. and the cat was desperate; and
with the bag that way it scratched. and
tore its way ont and got to the wharf

field of investigation which it Inherited
from the proceediug century. The in-

Photography has shown itself to be a

There is a wonderful spider in the
Transvaal, which has apparently been
discovered for the first time by Mr..
Distant. It lives, we are told, in large
communities, and builds itself a nest
like birds. The nest is of irregular
form, and in the interior are several
artistic ally constructed galleries,
which serve as homes for all the
spiders of that particular family. One
OF these nests may be seen in the Lon
don Geological Garden. It Is very
large. and is deity covered with dry

The Arctic Ocean, says Nansen, is a
kind Of lagoon separated from the At
lantic by submarine ridge, stretch
ing from .-Spitzbergen to Greenland.
To this ridge is due a curious condf-
ton. The Arctic is covered with a
layer Of slightly salt water from the
Siberian rivers and Bering Strait, and
under this is the normally salt Guik
Stream water. 1.-THE two layers were
mixed, the average temperature would
fall, but this average would not be as
cold as the surface layer. This :ac-
counts for the enormous formation OF
polar ice. -

A DIVINITY STUDENT ROUTED
He Made the Mistake of Airing His
 Views Before Tramp.

"One day we were travelling across the plains in the caboose of freight train,'' wri.-s Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady of his experiences as "A Mis- sionary in the Great West" in the Au- gust Ladies Home Journal. "A young divinity student was with us. He was one of the ambitious kind of divinity students who wreck a parish or two when they begin and finally drift upon the ecclesiastical bargain counter. He was ready to argue about anything with anybody. A greasy, dilapidated looking tramp came into the caboose at one of the stations at ,he end of the division, and presently engaged in a heated discussion with the young the ologue on the disadvantages of eiuca- ton. H. maintained the affirmative that the less a man knew and the less education he had, the happier he was with sO much skill and adroitness. and showed such mastery of logic and lit erature that he routed the poor boy horse, foot and dragoons-so effectively that the young man rose and went put on the platform to hide his chagrin, leaving the supposed tramp chuckling over his pipe in huge enjoyment at his easy victory. The Bishop had listened without saying a word, and whcn tha student left he turned to the man and inquired sharply: What college are you from, sir? 'Yale,' answered the man without thinking. The unlucky admission destroyed the mans argu- mant, for h. was a living example Of the fallacy of his own proposition"

WHAT A SIGH MEANS.

Signing is but another name for oxy- gen starvation. The cause of signing IS mast frequently worry. An interval of several seconds often follows mo- ments of mental disquiet, during which time the ch-st walls remain rig Id until the imperious demand is made for oxygen, thus causing the deep inha- latlon. It is the expiration following the inspiration that is properly term5d the sigh, and this sigh is simply an eff fort of the organism to obtain the nec- essary supply of oxygen. The remedy IS to cease worrying. One may be anx- ious but there is no rational reason for worrying. A little philosophy will banish worry at once. Worry will do no good; it will rob one of pleasures when blessings do come, as one will not be in a condition to enjoy them.- August Ladies Home Journal.

MIR. HARPER's LAST PICTURE.

Making photograph of James Har- per was the most startling experience of my business life, says George G. Rockwood in the New York .Mafl and Express. In the year 1869 it transpired that no good pictures existed of the Harper brothers, and it was determined as I afterward learned that all four brothers should sit to the same photog- rapher and a uniform series of pie lures be taken. A very successful pho tograph of Fletcher brought them all, James Harper being the second. He was a wonderfully interesting man, with the faculty of inspiring in conver- sation all that was best in others. found myself answering questions con cerning my art, instead of getting from him much coveted information con- cerning books and authors He was surprised to learn that in portrai- ture there was perhaps something beyond mechanical manipulation, or evsn artistic excellence; th&i- DOT trayal of character or temper- ament-in fact the b55t manhood or Individuality of the sitter should be sought. He was inaere-tad in my D. rsistence in making a profile of him. and in my declaration that it was at times tn only view that brought out character; that the typical forcefulness of the representative American could Cnly be delin5ated in that way.
 I told him the story of Tall, yranG, who once picked out three ignoble char acters who had been admitted with some gentlemen-all strangers-to his presence. He 6ir5cted that all should
