PROOF POSITIVE OF MISTAKE
Frog Was There to Back Up Assertion
of Foctor.

Many years ago DR.. Woodward,
founder of the woodward institute at
Quincy, Mass, was much annoyed
by a wealthy maiden lady who
was very positive she had swal-
lowed a young frog and that
it was growing in her stomach.
After many attempts to disillusion
her, the doctor resorted to a strata
gem. He procured medium-sized
frog, and placing it in his pocket, Wis
tied the patient and informed her that
he proposed to remove the frog. He
administered powerful emetic. He
then produced the frog, and she was
very happy, and kept the frog as a
souvenir.
In less than a week he had an ur-
gent call from the lady, who tearfully
informed him that the frog had left
one of its family in her stomach He
took the frog, placed him on a table,
and with his microscope examined
him long and attentively. At last,
with sigh of relief, he exclaimed:
Madam, you are mistaken; the frog
is he one" Exchange.

Husbands Best Points.

A happily married woman writing to
one of the household magazines says
that the qualities she most admires
in her husband are these, says the
Philadelphia Bulletin: "a readiness to
be pleased is one of his traits which
brings much quiet happiness into our
married life. In the management Of
the home he trusts me entirely, and,
though he may suggest, he never die
tates. He is seldom too busy or tired
to listen interestedly to all may have
to tell him. Though he tells me his
business vexations. he does not make
me suffer on account of them. and
is always ready to do the helpful lit
tie things that mean so much to a
woman In money matters he takes
me into his full confidence and part
nership."

WELL NAMED CANNfBAL PLANT
Nicaraguan Vegetable That Preys on
Living Objects.


On the shores OF Lake Nicaragua is
to be found an uncanny product of
the vegetable kingdom known among
the natives by the expressive name OF
''the devils moose" How delighted
Poe would have been to make this
cannibal plant the subject of one Of
his weird stories!
Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered
it not long ago while wandering on the
shores of the lake. Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog,
he found the animal held by black,
sticky bands, which had chafed the
skin to the bleeding point. These
bands were branches of a newly dis
covered carnivorous plant which has
been aptly named "the land octopus"
The branches are flexible, black,
polished, without leaves, and secrete a
viscid fluid. They are also furnished
with a great number of suckers, with
which they attach themselves to their
victims. 1t certainly deserves to be
classed as the octopus of the vegetable
world.-New York Herald.
