1t is not alone winged insects that the toad
feasts upon. There is nothing he likes better
for, change of diet than nice, fat worm,
and, as the children say, st is as good as a
play to see him eating worm-one that
wrggles and twists and squirms as if it knew
it had fallen into the hands of relentless
enemy.
And it is literally the hands of its captor
that are fatal to it, for it would be simply i'm
possible for the toad to swallow his wrigglng
victim, did he, not use his fore-paws exactly
as we do our hands
As it is, he is sublimely Indifferent to its
squirming He sits calmly down with it in
his mouth, lifts one paw, and gives it push
further into his mouth; then he swallows,
and down it goes, Just q little way. Then up
comes the other paw for another push and
al last, by alternate pushes and swallows, the
poor worm .vanishes,. and our toad sits quietly
at ease, with all the satisfaction of a full
stomach twinking in his eyes.

creature was a comical little tree-toad
Had the worm captured the toad, or the
toad the worm? That was question l re-
solved to decide by Watching. When L first
perceived the strange pair the hind legs OF
the toad just touched the ground while his
tiny foreegs hugged the worm: As l looked
the toads little throat swelled out to twice
its natural size, and his hind legs drew up,
so that, he now swung in the air Up and and
growing shorter all the time. Clearly 1T was
the tiny toad that had captured the worm!
His dmnutive fore-legs worked actively,
pushing the big worm down his throat as he
swung in the air, just as we have all seen our
mothers work fat bolster down into its case.
"The wonder was, and still the wonder
grew"
Slowly but surely the dainty .morsel disap-
peared, its vanishing point being our little
toad's mouth.
But suddenly our enterprising friend be-
gan to open and shut his eyes, kick his hind
legs, and paw the air with his fore-legs, in
evident distress. Giving that poor worm the
coup de grace was not SO very easy, after ALL

1ID you ever sit quietly and watch a
toad catching his supper? If not,
just try it, and you will find that
kSssssAs it is very interesting as well as an
S-'sss1S amusing sight
There he sits, on the edge of the
path, his bright, buging eyes fixed intently on
a fly that has just alighted close to him-so
very close, in fact, that you wonder what the
toad is waiting for, since he has only to dart
out his tongue and whisk the fly down his
throat; but he does not do it. No; he stays
motionless, his eyes twinkling with eagerness;
and if only that fly knew what we know, the
toad would never touch him, for all he has to
do is to keep perfectly still until his foe grows
tired of waiting.
Yes, that is the secret of the toad's delay.
Whatever the insect that he has selected for
his supper, it is safe from destruction until it
moves; but then, 10! it is gone like a flash.
The quiver of wing, the twitching of a leg,
is enough to precipitate its doom.
We wonder how many people take heed OF
The fact that the despised little toad is one
OF the gardeners most valued friends, and
that he is a regular night watchman over the
vegetable gardens?

waking up to the knowledge of it, and among

iurn them into their hot-beds thus preserving
heir plants from insects.
Not only in our gardens are toads extreme
useful, but in our houses they are valuable
lilies; for they do no harm to U.S. but very
much to our sworn enemies, such as cock
'oaches moths, crickets, flies, mosquitoes and
lnts. They need but to see an insect stir,
md out flashes that wonderful tongue. And,
presto! where is it?
Why, down in the little throat, landed at
;he exact spot where the muscles can seize it,
md pass it at once to the stomach. And so
apidly is this done, that when large insect,
ike cricket, grasshopper or beetle, is swal-
owed, the sides of the toad may be seen
actually twitching from the struggles of its
till living victim.
Entomologists press our friend the toad into
heir service in manner that is as novel as
i is comical. They catch him at daybreak
from the field or garden, kill him, and turn
mis- stomach wrong side out in pan of water
Of course all the recently caught insects float
20 the surface, at the entomolOgist's service.
This looks like a rather cruel method of
studying entomology, does it not? But the
truth is, that the humble little toad is a more
expert catcher and discoverer than his hui
man SUPERIOR and out of his riAed storehouse

Obituary Notice Of the Demise Of the
Late Dana 8. Davis.
Concerning the death of Dana s

months has had the management of

ing company, died last evening. at
$3.50 o'clock. Death was welcome
release from many hours of intense
suffering, although the end came
quietly and without struggle.
Just one week ago today the first
announcement was made Of Mr. Day-
is' illness. 1t came as a surprise to
those who had seen him on the streets
only the day before, but nothing seri-
GUS was expected to result from the
sickness. On Sunday it became ap-
parent that the trouble was bad
case of appendicitis, and after a con
sultation of local doctors it was de-
cided that an operation was necessary.
A Chicago specialist was called and
the operation was performed late Mon
day night. According to all reports
it was very successful, but cotnplica-
tions later set in and it had been
known for some time that there were
no hopes for recovery of the patient.
Dana S. Davis, son of Rev. p. B,
and Ellen F. Davis, was born in Ohio
April 1878. He was educated in the
public schools of Columbus, Spring
