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

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
It's 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 it's cool retreat under the piazza
or shed and stands as far as Its fore
legs viii let 1t, erect In the. rain, APP
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 tadpoIe
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 viviparous,
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-
pefience. N

NATIONAL COMMENT
overworked Railroad Employees.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: More
accidents involving loss of life have
taken place on the railroads in the last
year or two than in any previous per-
iod of equal duration. In this partic-
ular the United States has won a bad
preeminence among the great coun-
tries Of the world. There are several
times more fatalities in this country
on the railroads every year than there
are in England, Germany or France in
proportion to the number of persons
travelling. Overwork on the part of
employees has been the cause of many
of these casualties. Physical tQrpor
due to excessive hours of labor of rail-
way workers is accountable for the
failure. in many cases, to make use of
the mechanical devices to prevent ac-
cidents A

Kansas City Journal: Men are not
sent to legislature to foist their own
petty schemes of morals upon the peo-
pie. They should represent not them
selves but the communities which elect
them, including those voters who cast
their ballots against them Until this
idea is entertained to a greater extent
rthan it seems to be at present we may
expect a continuance of freak bills.
But It very often happens that the
lawmakers are not so good or so SEN
sible as the people who elect them.

In the good old days when the Dutch
were supreme in the administration OF
the affairs of New Amsterdam every
body knew everybody else, and it mat
tered little how proper names were
spelled. Modern lawyers and civil
service reformers would be shocked
at the photographed freedom of the
clerks of the burgomaster's court Of
those times. Here Is a sample case
taken from the old Dutch records In
which the name of a plaintiff IL spelled
FIVE different ways: ee

tobacco at the request Of Jan .Haec-
