ly some reason to believe that the green
tree frog Is somewhat experienced as
regards climatic conditions and acts &C.
cordingly. In fine weather he skips
about among the branches Of trees,
when at liberty, catching flies. At the
approach of winter he seeks the water
and finds himself bed in the mud I'M
til the following spring calls him out
to resume his war on the flies. a
Now the frog ON the ladder Without
doubt watches the weather conditions
keenly and rises to look out for flies
when the circumstances seem favorable.
On the other hand, when the weather is
cold and damp he is reminded Of win

sorrows In the Imaginary mud which
he sees at the bottom Of his prison.

horseT
"Yes," said Lincoln. 81 can make
brigadier any day, but the horse was
valuable"
To this day John Russell Young. IN
his memoirs, adds a similar tale. He
was calling upon Lincoln one day at
the White House.
II met So-and-so on the steps," he re-
marked.
"Yes," replied the President. "I have
just made his son brigadier."

WHY FOOD FADDIsTs THRIVE.

Enthusiastic Belief Adds Taste
that Insures Digestion.
Much light has been thrown on the
process of digestion in the last few
years by the Investigations Of Pavlov,
Russian Psychologist. and others,
These investigations have changed
very materially our views of this proc
ess and have served to explain many
things relating to food, especially why
1t is that every food faddist thrives
upon his particular diet although 1t
may differ In toto from that Of his
neighbor who thrives equally on his
own regimen. Stories are told of dys-
peptics, living for years on carefully
selected food of the blandest and
most easily digestible" sort, and suf-
fering misery, who suddenly conceived
a longing for corned beef and cabbage
and surreptitiously devoured a meal
OF It, To their delight as much as to
their surprise, there was nothing to
pay for this yielding to the promptings
Of nature; digestion was perfectly per-
formed for the first time In years.
Such stories are not always apocry-
phal; they may be founded on fact,
and their explanation Is the same as
that of the success of the food faddlst.
Pavlov found In experimenting on
dogs that an abundance of gastric
Juice was secreted when they had food
that they liked, even though this food
was mechanically prevented from en-
tering the stomach: whereas, when
they We're fed on things they did not
care for, but could eat only when half
starved. the secretions Of gastric juice
was very scanty. This he called the
appetite juice" the process in the
stomach being analogous to the famil-
lar phenomenon Of watering In the
mouth" or increased saliyary score.
ton caused by the sight or smell OF
savory food or even by the thought OF
II. He found also that the compost.
ton of the digestive fluids varied with
the kind Of food, each article swallow,
ed calling forth, through some mysteri
GUS signals transmitted to the stomach
from the tongue and palate as soon al
they had tasted the morsel placed In
the mouth, just the sort of nuid bes,
adapted to Its digestion. The enthusi
astic appreciation by the dietetit
crank OF the unsavory food which hs
Is persuaded win assure him strength
and long life gives him a taste for 1t
and so the motherly stomach provides
an abundance of gastric Juice of the
proper composition and thereby saves
him from the otherwise inevitable con
sequences Of his folly.

find him poking the fire. He turned
round.
"Will you wash twelve collars for a

HIRES A WEATHER SHARP.
High Meteorological Standing of the
Green Tree Frog.

High meteorological Standing of the
Green Tree Frog.
Few animals have survived the at
tacks made by science upon their repu-
tation as weather prophets The green
frog is a conspicuous exception. He Is,
to be sure, croaking prophet, but pleH-
ty Of people still pin their faith to him.
Even 50 scientific journal as Symons'
Meteorological Magazine has a kind
word to say Of the little fellow.
Here is a picture of the frogs ladder
which is provided for this weather
prophet In Germany and Switzerland.
In many houses the frog Is kept In a
bottle half filled with water and pro-
vided with a ladder. and the little fell
low Is carefully watched as to his be-
havior In uncertain conditions OF the
atmosphere. A number of weather max
inns are based upon his posture and ac-
tivity. II he remains on one Of the low
est steps of the ladder 1t Is considered
a sure sign that bad weather Is COM
ing. II he energies from the water and
rests upon the steps above 1t fine wealth
er may be expected, and the higher he
sits on the steps the finer the weather
Is sure to be. He Is also supposed to
