One man whose stomach, and not
his throat, has been for several years
the habitation of frog, is one of the
suriosities of Dock Watch Hollow, a
hamlet nesting among the Watching
mountains, about five miles from
Bound Book, N. j., says New York
exchange.
Edward Blazier, farmer, has beeu
ailing for some time and his symptoms
have bafifed the skill of physicians
Of his vicinity, who one by one gave up
the case as incurable. Notwith-
standing the fact that he was unable
to work and was slowly wasting away.
Blazier was the possessor of raven
Gus appetite, being particularly fond
of meat.
When DR.. Fred A. Wild. of Bound
Brook, took up Blazers case. two
weeks ago he proceeded to make him.
self thoroughly acquainted with the
symptoms. When questioned Blazer
said that he suffered painsin theregion
of his stomach and occasionally ex-
perienced q sensation is if something
animated was moving about. Further
questioning brought out the fact that
the family were in the habit of using
water from q nearby spring for
drinking purposes. This information
confirmed DR.. Wild in his belief and he
urged an operation which was per-
formed the other day, when the doc
tor removed from the patients stom-
ach q full-grown bullfrog more than
five inches long. When taken out the
animal was dead, having been killed
during the operation. 1t was similar
to ordinary frogs, except that exam-
nation showed that it never had the
use of its eyes.
Blazier is now on the road to recov-
cry and is the center of attraction for
all that neighborhood. He now re-
calls circumstance which happened
about five years ago when his wife
was ILL., He had gone to the spring to
fetch her drink, and whine there took
one himself. When he returned to the
house he complained Of having swal-
lowed something of foreign nature,
although he did not know what it was.
He is convinced that at that time
he swallowed tadpole, which in the
course of nature became a frog, un-
dergoing the different changes within
his stomach.

Presently her nails gave out, and she
rose with the intention Of going after

nothing unusual, for the fence had
. habit of needing mending, and
for many a long year there had
been no one but Cordelia to do
It, and, in fact, to do ali the mend

She had smoothed the way down into
the valley for her poor, paralytic ia

hill of life and into an education for
her brothers and sisters, and was now
thinking of performing the same ONCE

were busy in reviewing the past and in

out into the world to make place for

Two rocking chairs were placed OPP

while Cordelia was making the LEM

from the road by honeysuckles and
wistarias, and he could count at least

raised himself slightly to look at the
eggs, the owner began to scold him
