Toad Superstitions.

Superstitions as to toads having been
early inculcated, it has been exceed
ingly difficult TO get rid of them. One
remnant Of this ancient credulity still
exists. It'is in regard to the absolute
imperishable character of the toad
There are well educated Americans
who believe that a toad hops out alive
from slab of stone though he has
been imprisoned there for several mil
lions Of years. We give in brief DR.
Buckland's experiments with toads in
1925. He took twelve toads and had
the toads put in twelve cells cut in
sandstone, and over these he put plates
of glass. They were buried in gar
den for over year. When eXhumed
they were all dead Then some were
put In porous sandstone, and at the
end Of year a few were found great
ly emaclated." When buried for an
other year, they all died. Toads were
inclosed in wood. and they all died
The conclusion is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If toad as a tadpole could have
entered crevice in a rock, 1t might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is so ineradicable that it
IS supposable it never can be dissi-
pated

TIE Berry He Was.

When Bishop Berry of the Methodist
Episcopal church was young preach
er he once gave lecture in Il rural
community. Wishing to be witty, he
announced to his audience that he was
a berry and called upon them to state
what kind of berry. Nearly every ber-
ry known in the vicinity was guessed,
and the speaker refused to share the
qualities of any of those named. At
last an old lady who was not sympa-
thetic with the seeming levity of the
lecturer, arose and exclaimed in Il
squeaky voice: Il know what kind of
a berry you are. You are a gooseberry
and very green one at that Go on
with the lecture" And the lecturer did
quickly.-Christian Work.
