The Frogs Breathing.

The frogs skin is so important as q
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once Of suffocation If the
pores were closed by a coat of sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way
While we are speaking Of his breathing
you will notice that his sides do not
heave as ours do at each breath we
take. A frog has no ribs and cannot
inhale and exhale as we do, but Is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
If you will watch this little fellow
throat you will see it continually NOV
ing in and out as one gulp follows an
other. In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you
will see what l mean. A frog, then, al
ways breathes through his nose, and II
YOU held his mouth open he would sur
focatc as surely as though you gave his
skin coat of varnish.-Woman's Homo
Companion.

Parker has given 10 the city OF Provl-
dence. and that fact has been sivsn
weightiest and fullest consideration.
While faithful performance Of duty should
receive commendation II Is not pallia-
