A Baby.s cry.

A moderately intimate acquaintance
with infants enables one to distin
guish, almost from birth, three cries
the healthy yell, by which the child ex-
erclses his lungs, the fretting of mod
crate discomfort, and the acute cry OF
pain, the latter two including at first
hunger, thirst. and dissatisfaction.
BIZ the end OF three months the nurse
or mother should be able to distin-
glish the fretting OF actual physical
discomfort from that of restlessness,
and the sharp cry OF pain from the
less acute announcement of thirst,
hunger, etc, while anger imparts a
characteristic quality to the cry. II
the baby is comfortably dressed and
properly fed he will be less likely to be
fretfnl and crying.-Dr. A. l. Bene-
dict in the january Woman's Home

Louisiana Rice Is Red.

Southwestern Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop this season.
For some unaccountabIe reason con-
siderable percentage of 1t is red. This
is not the first season that red grains
have appeared among the white, to be
sure. but never before has the proper.
;ion been so large. An examination
by chemists has shown that the red
rice Is equally nutritious as white
The value OF the article as a matter Of
food IS not In the least injured by the
red grains. But the fact remains that
the coiored grains injure the sale OF
the rice they appear in.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought OF using anything else for
Indigestion or BIliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard OF Appen-
dicitis. Nervous Prostration or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
tion of undigested food, regulate the ac-
tion OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need q few doses OF Green's Au-

TOAOS AND FROGS.

Some traits OF THE Medieval Toad"
Mrs. Frances NJ. Butler OF Snow Hill.
Md, and read by Mrs John G. Wren-
shall at the monthly meeting of the
Baltimore Folklore Society recently. In
the time OF Shakespeare, IL stated, the
toad was credited with secretiug a
poisonous venom while in hiding which
IL spat out indiscriminately at man and
beasts. The cattle plague in England
and many mysterious human deaths
were attributed 70 the work Of the toad.
The spider was supposed 10 equal the
toad ia venom, but IN these days toads
eat spiders with apparent impunity.
The American toad. Mrs. Butler stat
cd. Is larger, not go dar6, and more
agile than It's English brother. Toads
are imported into England from Aus
tria, packed ia moss, ana sold at Sc
or - a hundred.
In physic the toad. or part OF il. has
always been credited with great pow
ers. For instance, the right eye OF a
frog wrapped In russet cloth and hung
around the neck was supposed 10 cure
the right eye or the Wedrer or bleari-
ness. The same was true OF the left
eye Of the frog. for the left eye OF the
wearer. A toad dead or alive. placed
at the back OF the neck. was supposed
10 stop nose breed. Dried and pow
dered, the frog was SUPPOSED 10 be an
irresistible love phiiter.
IT is related Of the American Indians
that they believed that a council OF
the gods was held for producing light
at night. The WhippoOrwill made the
moon out Of a large frog. and the cold
ness of the moon is attributed to the
frogs patural codness.
Another tradition related OF savage
tribes Is that the toad Iuarreled with
the woodpecker and caused the deiuge.
1t is said that they disputed over honey
which the toad was induced 10 climb a
tree i'm order -ebtaift---ff,ffrrr1--t tfrr-
woodpecker knocked the toad out OF
the tree. and in revenge the toad drank
IN all the water on earth. leaving the
birds dry and thirsty. I'm a subsequent
quarrel the toad incautiously danced
al 1ut.
In Maryland the bite Of the toad is
considered poisonous. II not deadly. An
old superstition Is that handling toads
will cause warts 70 grow on the hands.

At II O'Clock walked across to the
teenth Century. Upon a small table In
the hall was spread a white cloth. and
on this "A young plantain leaf. whose
light green color. polished surface and
tender tracery OF veins made II only too
beautiful covering for table devot-
ed to any material purpose. Upon
this leaf were 20 cups, each with It's
spoon. and six tall glasses, and imme-
diateiy in front OF the chair a silver
dish First two Brahman cooks, with

cred thread across their shoulders, Of

they laughed and talked and played

morning. To do me honor they had
dressed in their cloths OF gold and
jewels.
Meanwhile the Brahmans kept on fill
ing these cups, and no fewer Than 90
cups were served OF different kinds OF
curries of fruit, curds, cakes, vegeta-
bles and sweetmeats. The 20 cups
proved altogether insufficient and the
beautiful plantain leaf was now
splashed and stained with peas. pickles
and pulse. Never was a guest more
unequal to the banquet. / tasted
everything in infinitesimaI bites, and

man would have cleared the board

dous trenchermen. and the attendants
