ARTIFICIAL WARMTH.

Sign of Luxury.

Sign of Luxury.
With the big restless, energetic
world outside of this tropical belt, how
ever, the matter of keeping warm is
ever present. troublesome and expen.
sive, throughout half of each passing
year.
AS matter of fact, the world of hu-
manity dwelling in stoveland never has
been in all the ages really and COM
fortably warm in winter. 1t is largely
our own fault. Mankind is the only an.
imal which employs fire in the effort to
survive the cold of the winters. The
hardy lower animals do not need it,
however much their luxuriously ener-
waited representatives, the dog and the
cat, may enjoy it when they have q
chance.
Ancient man only got himself rid Of
his provdent coat of hair and his suf-
ficent latent heat when he began to
loaf around the family cooking stove
and absorb the intoxicating comfort of
artificial warmth. This faraway an
cestor is responsible for the fact that
the present day human being, outside
Of the belt aforesaid, is obliged to keep
close to thermometer registering
nearly or quite 20 degrees F. from Oc-
tober to May, besides which he must
needs wear extra clothing. This also is
an inherited habit.

WAYS OF THE TOAD.
Some of the Oddities of This Peculiar
Creature.

1t Is remarkable that the toad, low
ing water as it does, should wander
away from watery regions to dry
ground, where it can never see a drop
of water except at rain time and leave
Its water rights to the undisputed pos
session of its ranal neighbor the frog.
How the toad loves water must be
known to every garden lover. When
ever there Is shower the creature
leaves its cool retreat under the piazza
or shed and stands as far as its fore
legs will let it, erect in the rain, ap-
parently enjoying to the utmost the
shower bath.
Whenever they are near the water
at breeding time they deposit long,
Shiny strings of eggs, and the young
toad has to go through the tadpole
stage in common with his brother frog.
But when they are wholly excluded by
distance from the water they seem to
have the power of being -yiviparous.
or bringing forth their young alive.
In the water fertilization is effected
In the same manner as In fishes, but
the method in the land life career Is
not known. About all that Is known
Is that confined toads are found with
little toads, no larger than house flies,
about them after time, and In walled
gardens and places far removed from
water little toads, no larger than peas,
wandering around on their own re.
sources and which could never have
been tadpoles, are within common ex-
perience. .--..- ]

Tessie stayed in the downtown lunch
room just three years. From the day
she came the managers discerning eye

ladies' table she was promoted to one
where maSculinity and tips were more
frequent. If waitress were absent,
Tessie was always given the extra"
table TO serve, and she never complain

too Ill to work, never distrait or care

down with her arms full of dishes and
food "The boys" used to speculate

greeted her with whoop.
"Where have you been?" they de-

Tessie looked at them for moment.
Her fingers gripped the edge of the
table, and two big tears rose to her
eyes.

There's no fear In the struggle It's

Among the more important legisla-
tive propositions that died with the
fifty-ninth congress. and most of which
received the sanction of the president
and the country, are: The eight.hour
bill which organized labor has been
asking for these many years. The anti
injunction bills, of which there were
several. Swamp land reclamation.
Codifioation of the revised federal
statutes. Modification of the Chinese
exclusion act. Copyright revision. Re-
duction of the tariff on Philippine
products entering the United States.
The bill TO make Porto Ricans citiz-
ems. Publicity in campaign affairs.
The Crumpacker bill to afford court
review Of a fraud order issued by the
postoffice department. Federal child
labor legislation. Legislation to pro-
tect free labor from contract labor.
Legislation regulating the interstate
traffic in Intoxicating liquors. Most of
these measures will re-appear at the
next session, but it is discredit to
congress and to this nation, that the
Sugar and Tobacco Trusts prevented
justice to the Philippines in giving
them such. legislation as would place
them on their feet and revive their
industries, Ivy reducing the tariff on
Philippine products entering the
United States.
The notorious railway mail graft,
carrying with it excessive payments
to the amount of at least ten or fifteen
million dollars year, is continued.
The trick of-weigliing the mails for
seven days and dividing by six to find
the daily average, which makes free

PHYSICIANS DISAGREE
Different Opinions on Cooper's Remarkable
Success Held by Cincinnati Medical Men.

Cincinnati, o. March IA. The
astonishing sale of Cooper's prepar-
ations in this city has now reached
such immense figures that the medical
fraternity at large have become forced
into open dicussion of the man and
his preparations.
The physicians as a whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Cincinnati-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions is
very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two of a number of
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
