lRELANO'S ANIMALS.
Species Of Frogs and Toads Are
Found In the Green Isle.

Species Of Frogs and TOadS Arc
Found In the Green Isle.
1t is not correct to say that there are
is very remarkable that the common
toad is not found there. The natterjack
toad is a native of Kerry, though it
does not appear to he found elsewhere.
It is an example of the mania which
some people have for meddling with
nature that DR.. GuithPrS in 1899 took
the trouble to procure frogs spawn
from England. since which time they
have multiplied in Ireland. But the
common lizard is found in many parts
Of the island The slowworn is not.
Though the common toad and till re-
cent times the frog We're not found In
Ireland, it is worth remembering that
the English reptiles and hatrachians
are very local in their distribution. The
natterjack toad is only found in certain
counties. The edible frog was formerly
only found in Foulmire Fen, in Cam
bridgeshire, and the sand lizard is most
capricious in the choice of a home. The
"beautfful green lacerta" which Gil
bert White saw on the sunny banks
near Farnham are to be found there
still, the males being of the green color,
and also near Bournemouth and in
Dorsctshire beyond Poole Harbor. Yet
there are many suitable places where
none are seen, and then they reappear
again on some sandhillS on the coast of
Lanca shire, near Southport
On the other hand. the absence Of
many species in Ireland which are or
were commonly found in the larger is
land can only be explained on the sup
position that they never reached the
country. Among these are the wildcat,
the polecat and the weasel. Yet the
marten was always plentiful on the
other side of st. Georges channel, and
stoats abound in the west. Five of the
fourteen species of bat found in Eng
land have not been taken in Ireland,
neither is the common shreW found
there or the water ShreW or the mole.
though the last is found in Anglesey.
Only six of the fifteen British rodents
are found in Ireland, and of these one,
the squirrel. was probably introduced.
Neither is the roe deer Indigenous. In
support of the general theory that the
immigration of the English fauna was
difficult in the earlier periods and sub
sequently checked altogether may be
cited the analogous instance of the Isle
of Man. There, as in Ireland, there are
no moles, no snakes and no toads.-

VALUE OF COLLEGE TRAINING.
Awakens the Student to the Problems
of the World

Of the World.
1t may as we'll be admitted that
college training does not teach a man
to keep books or to sell goods. What
education aims to do is to educate
to develop the man, to awaken him
to the problems of the world, to
widen his horizon. There is no dan
ger that not enough attention shall be
given to commercial develcpmen
But there il a possibility that the
business man may become narrowed
to his task and fail to take an inter
est in the world of ideas about him.
Education ought not to prevent a
man from acquiring the necessary de-
tails of business. And it ought to
make him more valuable citizen.
That most successful business men
believe this is shown by the fact that
they are sending their sons to college.

Funeral of Frank Campbell.

In spite of the inclement weather
of Friday the many friends of Frank
Campbell assembled at ST. Dennis
church, North Whitefied, to pay their
last tribute of esteem. The deceased

Our scribe recently interviewed Mr..
Nathaniel Johnson, Bowditch &
Webster's efficient clerk, on the sub
ject of their constantly increasing
winter sales of coldt soda. Nothing
more natural in the world" said Mr..
Johnson. People who stop drinking
soda with the passing of summer make
great mistake. 1t is never so de-
licious or satisfying as in mid winter.
1t is then that the system particularly
requires the fuel and fiber producing
elements of cream and chocolates or, the
acids of the fruit syrups which in a
great measure replace the berries and
traits of the summertable 1t is also
an errcr to drink hot soda in cold
weather. / is not carbonated water
at all, only that from the regular water
supply heated. and has none, ofthe re-
freshing and stomachic qualities of the
genuine. True soda at one tempera-
ture the year round is like spring wa
ter icy cold in summer but only pleas
antly so in winter. People are learning
more of the virtues of winter sodss and
our trade is steadily increasing,

TWO SNAKE STORIES
Which May or May Not Come in Pat
at This Time.


1t is said that there is nothing new
under the sun. That saying may not fiji
this case, but you may size it up fol
yourself.
Capt. Levi NJ Poor was looking over
New York Sunday paper, the other
day and he came across the following
item:
'Lawrenceburg, Ind, Jan. 24.-In
breaking an egg for cake, Mrs r.
G. Hayes found a snake init. The rep
tile was about four INCHES long and
the girth of small lead pencil, 1t
was black, and had a pair OF, perfectly
developed eyes. The snake was dead.
microscopic who examined it said
that it had perfectly developed organs.
He was unable to classify the reptile."
Now, Levi has a great memory and
he at once recalled the fact that he
had heard something about snakes,
himself, so he began to look over some
OF his curios, clippings, etc., preserved
for years, with the result that he found
and brought to the Journal office the
following clipping taken from the Old
Belfast Journal in the winter of 1862
70:
Il. M. Poor. of Searsmont, found a
hens egg with a slight protuberance
on one end, from which issued a fully
developed White serpant inches long,
which showed some signs of life when
it first came out, says the Age"
Capt. Poor says that the original
piece in the Belfast Age not only told
the story Of his snake experience in
detail but vouched for his truthfulness,
etc.
And is there anything new under the
sun?

STRONGEST EVIDENCE OF FAITH.

ster Guarantee that Hyomei VIII
Cure the Worst Case Of Catarrh in
AUGUSTA.

When the most reputable concerns in
Augusta guarantee that a medicine
will effect a cure or they will return
the money, it, speaks volumes as to the
merit of that remedy. 1t is in this way
that Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster are selling Hyomei, the
treatment that has made so many re-
markable cures of both acute and
chronic cases of pcatarrhg in Augusta
and vicinity. . - a
> Hyomei is not a pill nor is it liquid
that has to be taken with tablespoon
or wineglass. Just breathe it by the
aid of AN inhaler that comes in every
outfit and benefit will be seen from the
first treatment. aiNi
Ii destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach. liver and
kidneys. Wherever mucous membrane
contains catarrhal germs, there Hy-
omei will 90 it's work of healing. When
using this treatment, the air you
breathe will be found like that on the
mountains nigh above the sea level,
where grow balsamic trees and plants
which make the air pure by giving off
Volatile antiseptic fragrance that is
healing to the respiratory organs.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you, your druggist will refund
Jour money. This is good time to
cure catalrh by this natural method
and Prevent catarrhal colds that are
so oollmop at this season.

Denman Thompson Comma.

The coming of Denman Thompson
and his fine old play, The Old Home
stead is a joyous announcement to
the theatregoing public. And to those
who seldom go inside of a theatre it
means a welcome engagement, for
The Old Homestead is one of the
few plays on the dramatic calendar
that is clean. wholesome and inviting
as much of a delight to children as to
those of ripper years. 1t is very familiar
to the great majority of theatregoers
and the atmosphere which hedges it
around is one which it is a delight to
breathe.
In addition to Mr.. Thompson as
Joshua Whitcomb," cast of unusual
excellence is promised and a scenic
production equal to the original in de-
tail. The ever pleasing vocal feature,
the double quartet, will be as import
antly placed as usual, and the grand
choir of twenty voices in the Grace
church scene is said to be as inspiring
as of old.
Mr.. Thompson will present THE Old
Homestead in the Opera house on
Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. IS
and 10.
