How a Frog 6reathes.

THE frogs skin is so important as
a breathing apparatus that the crea-
ture would die at once of sutfocation
if the pores were closed by a coat Of
sticky varnish, by dust, or in any 9TH
er way" says Ernest Harold Baynes
in the May Woman's Home Compan.
ion. while We are speaking OF his
breathing you will notice that his
sides do not beave as ours DO at each
breath we take. A frog has no ribs
and cannot inhale or exhale as We do,
but is obliged to swallow his air In
gulps, and if you will watch this lit
tie fellow throat you will see it con-
tinually moving in and out as one
guIp follows another. In order to
swallow, his mouth must be closed;
Just try to swallow with your mouth
wide open, and you will see what |
mean. A frog, then, always breathes
through his nose, and if you held his
mouth open he would sutiocateas sure
ly as though you gave his skin coat
Of varnish. Mr.. Frog has an enor-
nous mouth for his size, and if we
were to put a finger inside IT we would
find that he has row OF teeth IN the
upper jaw aud that his soft, white
tongue, unlike our own, is attached
in front and is free behind. When he
wishes to catch any insect he throws
Alt the free end Of the tongue. then
draws it in so rapidly that 1t is diff
cult TO see whether he has been sue
cessfuI or not. As the tongue is coat
ed with a gummy fluid, the insect
sticks to it and is carried back into
the mouth which closes upon 1t like
the door of tomb. Frogs, however.
are not limited to one mode OF feed
ing; they often leap open-mouthed
upon larger prey, which includes, be-
sides insects, small fish, mice, small
duckliugs, polliwogs asi tiny frogs.

In a Sharks Stomach.


A prominent Government official
who has returned from visit to Palm
Beach, Fla, tells about seeing huge
man eating shark that was captured
at that place. 1t was one of the big
gest sharks ever caught in Florida
waters, and was evidently sailor of
many years. The animal measured
over Is feet long, had a sword attach
ment that was as long as an arm, and
was of the leopard variety, stamping
it as one Of the man-eating species, a
dangerous beast
The shark was caught by shark
fisherman. He used large rope for
a line, and had windlass for reel.
At the end Of the line was a huge
steel hook, and this was baited with
a large bright tin can. The shark
bit at the bait and was entrapped.
He was landed after the toughest time
the fisherman ever experienced 1t
was the interior of the fish, however,
that excited the greatest interest.
When he was cut open a whole por-
poise was found in the stomach There
was also a large piece of partly d.
gested shark and the head OF an
ostrich. The piece Of shark inside OF
the monster was out of the back and
contained the backbone OF the dead
animal.
A careful examination showed that
tbe 5'clbones were larger than the
backbones Of the captured shark. A
number of scars on his body showed
that he had been in conflict with an
other shark, and the finding of piece
of the adversary showed that the con-
hict had ended IN the death of the
opponent; that the victor had then
swallowed Juicy portion OF his adj
versary. The presence of the ostrich
head in the stomach Of the man-eater
was regarded as undoubted proof that
the shark had probably just arrived
in Florida waters from Africa, and
that he had made the tnp in two or
three days. The head was not di-
gested, and the process Of digestion
had only Just begun. There is only
one ostrich farm in Florida, and when
that institution was communicated
with the owners said that they had
not lost an ostrich in year. The
ability Of a shark to pass fast steam
er in one minutes time is well known
to travellers, and there is no do bt
that the shark had been in African
waters and had captured stray
ostrich, or the head Of one that bad
been killed, and then started across
the Atlantic, reaching the Florida
waters before the ostrich head had
begun to digest.

The Birth OF the Rose.

A thistle once grew near lily,
A stately lily and fair;
The wind swayed the one to the other,
And the spirit of Love was there
Unto the lily and thistle
A sweet little flower was born;
The lily bent down to caress 1t,
And her fngerwas pierced by the thorn
The blood that the pale, pure lily
In the JOY of her motherhood shed
Gave the sweet little stranger its color,
Gave the Rose its beautiful red.
The rose that unto the lily
And unto the thistle was born
By the lily was given its beauty,
By the thistle was given its thorn.

In the Grst opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889 the editor Of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April. During his travelling about
and afterwards his camping upon his
claim, he encountered much bad water,
which, together with the severe heat
gave him very severe diarrohoea which
il seemed almost impossible 10 check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected 10 die. One day one OF
his Geighbors brought him one small
bottle Of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope
A big dose was given him while he was
rolling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect Of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure,
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

know tomorrow that l consider it an
insult.
Mrs. Bowser began to talk of sup
posed mad dog which had run along
the street during the afternoon and
bitten a child, and in about ten min
utes she got Mr.. Bowser calmed down
and ne began to read his paper. He
was Just becoming interested when the
bell rang again and the girl brought
in a bouquet. On the card attached
were the words:
"On Bowser's ffty.ffth birthday
and may his future pathway be a
fowery one"
Now, by the great horn spoon
but here's another insult he ex-
claimed as he read the greeting and
rose up. Woman, you must have
spent the whole day going from house
to house and saying l was 55 years
old"
What nonsense. Those flowers
must have come from one Of our neigh
bors and it was a nice thing to DO.
It's more than we have ever done for
one of them"
Its an insult just the same aud
here goes the bouquet out of the win
dow. Let the cats fight over it. I'll
find out who sent them and give EN-
piece of my mind"
Mrs. Bowser set out TO pour oil on
the troubled waters again but it was
no use. Mr.. Bowser decided to walk
out to soothe his wounded feelings and
was Just defending the doorstep when
FIVE or six small boys who had been
waiting their opportunity and hang
ing over the gate began to sing
"Our Mr.. Bowser-our Mr.. Bow
Our Mr.. Bowser-owser-ow -owser-ow owser-oh
He is fifty-fve to-day,
And not much longer will he stay
To be our Bowser-owser-owser-o =
Mr.. Bowser stopped dead short.
Did his ears deceive him? He thought
for a moment that they did, but then
he caught the words:
Our Mr. Bowser-our Mr.. Bow
Our Mr.. Bowser was born in 1913;
To be sure he's hfty-hye,
But he's very much alive,
And his reputation it is great. "
There was snort-a rush-a
scramble, and six white.faced boys fed
mp the street for their lives Mr..
Bowser stood looking after them with
hard shut teeth, but one more adven-
ture awaited him. A tramp who had
been passing along on the opposite
side Of the street crossed over and
said
Don't pay any attention to them,
grandpa.
"Grandpal" shouted Mr.. Bowser as
he waived his fists around.
"Yes, grandpa. There's lot Of
bad boys on this street and when they
get after an old man they don't know
when to stop Il walt here, now
ever, and see that they don't steal
your hat. Do your children use you
well, grandpa ?"
Mrs. Bowser and the cat heard
someone cry out in sudden surprise,
followed by the sounds Of a man ruu-
ming for his life, but they did not 90
to the door to see. They didn't want
to get mixed nn i'm any tragedy.

Glimpse of Naval. DomestIe Life.

"Two Gray Hills is about the cen- ter of the reserv ation, which is about one hundred miles square. Here is mission opened by the WOmen's Ma tiOnal Indian Association in 1898. The property consisted of fOur-rOOm cottage, small school house and log stable. About eight miles north west of the mission is group of Ma vajO farms, known as TO-a-le-na, a name indicating the presence of water. Mir. Brewer visited this camp on horse back and was we'll pleased withthe pro- gress made by these Indians. The hogans were better, and some were living in log houses. About two hundred Navajos are represented in the population of this camp.
 "AbOut six miles in the opposite direction from the mission is another spot where water is a possibility and where is another camp of Indians cul- tivating their fields, and caring for their sheep. While visiting this camp we stopped at a hogan where the wife was busy weaving blanket, the hus- band was sitting outside, feasting on the fruits of the prickly pear cactus, and two small children were in evil dence. A flock of sheep headed for the cOrnfield. The man made an out cry, calling to his wife, who left her weaving and ran swiftly with how ling child, clad in very short cotton garment, at her heels. She quickly turned the sheep and returned smiling to her work. The man planted the corn and takes care of it in the other ways, but sheep belong to the woman and she must keep them out of mis- chief.

There !. soa ethlnS seysnd Salary.

A boy or man who works simply for his salary, and is actuated by no high CT motive, is dishonest, and the one whom he most defrauds is himself. He is cheating himself in the quality of his daily work, of that which all the years, try as he may, can never give him.
 If were allowed but one utterance on this subject, so vital to every young man starting on the journey of life, I would say: "DOn't think too much of the amount of salary your employer give you at the start. Think, rather, of the possible salary you can give yourself, in increasing your skill, in expanding your experience, in en- larging and enobling yourself" A mans or boys work is material with which to build character and manhood. It is life's school for prac- tical training of the faculties, stretch ing the mind and strengthening and developing the intellect, not a mere mill for grinding out salary of dollars and cents.
