rrnndle Beds ont of Date.

"There are no trundle beds on the
market Nowadays" said New York
furniture store salesman. '.They are not
manufactured. 1t has been years since
we carried them In stock, and the
chances are that they will never be in
vogue again. Science is against them,
for one thing. Doctors and nurses have
agreed that as promoter of colds the
trundie bed has no equal. For hygienic
reasons trundIe beds have been super
seeded by cribs and infants beds of a
dlgnified height. Fashion has also had
something to do with the change. Reg
ular beds are now built so low that it
would be next to impossible to slip the
trundle bed under them. Perhaps there
may be few out in the country dis
tricts that have not been seized by
curio collectors or split into. kindling
wood, but you cannot find one in New
York furniture store"

Standing side by side In an old Long
Island cemetery are four tombstones.
They commemorate the virtues Of the
successive wives of one OF the towns
inhabitants. A peculiar thing about
the monuments is that not alone do
they perpetuate the memory of each of
his helpmates, but they serve as sort
of financial barometer TO record the
husbands rising fortunes.
The first wife had modest little
headstone. The second wife's memorial
was on the same order, but It was at
least two feet taller. The third wife
differed both MS to style and size, being
greatly superior to either of the others,
while to the fourth and lust was grant

How a snake swallow. n Frog.

The method of swallowing is very
simple one. although IL the frog be.
large more than half an hour may be
consumed in the process. The two
bones of the lower jaw are separate
and capable OF Independent movement;
so the reptile loosens It's hold upon one
side of its jaw and pushing that side
forward as far as possible 1t drives the
teeth in again and draws the jaw back
to its original position.
The result is that the prey is drawn
down by the movement. The process
is then repeated by the other half of
the jaw, thus Inevitably forcing the
victim inward. The snakes skin
stretches enormously, and the jaw is
of course dislocated, but the extensfble
ligaments hold the bones together.
