stores it under the hump to grace the
hump into more stable prominence, or
what he does with it, the observer will
fail to learn.

Nobody knows where the frogs tail
goes during this little exhibition of
magic, except the frog that owns it,
unless the theory of Squire Bundy, of
Cambridge Springs, the sage of the
French creek country, is correct. His
theory is that the occultation Of the
frogs tail is the result of a scientific
twist the frog gives it at the moment
it rises to vault and kerchunk.
The scientific twist, this Bundian
theory declares, hurls the tail forward.
/ 1t sails over the frogs head like a
comet AS the frog leaps it opens its
mouth and gathers in the flying tail.
The tail takes root in the frogs mouth
and becomes a faithful and serviceable
tongue ever afterward. This is a

of the story, who is the younger son
of famous English family, in love
with Enid, Grants sister, but on ac-
count of her wealth hesitates to ask
her to be his wife. Ormsby has knock

believe anything that is told him about
the frog.
If the observer had felt for the frogs
teeth where other creatures have theirs
he wouldn't have found as much as a
gum. The frog has a fine set of teeth,
though, but it wears them on it's palate.
Looking farther for fun in the inner
depths of the frog, the observer would
have been let into the knowledge that
it is one of the frogs whims to breathe
by swallowing air and fetching it up
again, as the COW manipuIates her cud,
instead of drawing it into the lungs
and ejecting it as common conventional
respirating creatures do. The observer
would have found, moreover, that the
frog Is such devil may-care sort of q,
chap that he carries his idea of a joke
even unto his vitals, so that If person
is so disposed, he can bereave the1frngs
of it's lungs, thinking to end its career
there and then, but the frog laughs in
its sleeve, so to speak, and keeps right
on living. The frog has its skin made
SO that it can be breathed through in
cases of emergency, and such a trifing
thing as the losing of pair of lungs
doesn't worry ii a bit. When the frog
was a merry pollywog IT would have
been its death to keep 1t long above
water When it has abandoned every
thing pertaining to embryonic days,
the frog will die if it is kept long be-
meath water.-Buffalo Express.

teach the child how to express his
thoughts in his own language and do
not furnish an undue amount of gram
mar and rules. They mark out the
work for the teacher in a clearly de-
fined manner by telling him what to
do and when to do 1T. From the start
lessons in writing language are en-
ployed simultaneously with those in
conversation, and picture study, study
of literary selections and letter writing
are presented at frequent intervals.
The lessons are of a proper length and
well graded. The work is systemat-

This series is free from the many
faults found in other books of a SINH

an antiquated plan, but is particular
ly suited to modern conditions. 1t does
not shoot over the heads of pupils, nor
does it show marked effort in writ
ing down to the supposed level of
young minds.

RUSSIAN BATTLESHIPS.
Story of Their Sinking Is Con.
iirmed.

Chefoo, Dec. lG.--Passengers who ar
rived here today from the kwangtung
peninsula confirm the truthtulness OF
the official japanese reports OF the
sinking OF various Russian ships re-
Gently at Port Arthur. They say the
Japanese would have been able to ac-
complish this In the past two months,
but apparently preferred to use their
guns against the Russian military
force. II Is believed the destruction Of
the Russian ships indicates that the
Japanese have abandoned the hope Of
capturing the fortress, The Japanese
lost three torpedoboats within the past
month by mines, the last one sinking
during the night attack Of Dec "a on
the Russian battleshlp seyastopol.
Tho fighting during which 2U3-Meter
hill was captured was terrific, that
achievement alone costing the Japan
ese 1900 casualties.
The japanese have been unable 10
occupy the hill except for observation.
They have taken none OF the remain
Ing forts Tho steamers laden with
ammunition and provisions ran the
blockade OF Port Arthur in the past
fortnight and there are high hopes that
the fortress will hold out for MANY
months The japanese are alleged To
