FROGS FROM THE CLOUDl

At the conclusion Of an extraordi

road covered with thousands of frogs

Mr. Ayr expresses the opinion tina,
the frogs came down from the sky,
and he is supported in this view by
another resident Of the district, who
has experience of monsoons abroad.
This expert says that in the still
ness which precedes monsoons in trop-
ical regions all sorts of creeping
things come out of their hiding places.
They are often carried up into the air
by whirlwinds, and when the mon
soons break down they are deposited
again in transforms. as appears to
have been the case at Cruwys-Mor-

THE FIRST TASTE

especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.

give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals
never knew there was ahytlfing to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so contracted the coffee
habit early I remember when quite
young the continual use Of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then

FAMlLYS FATAL YEAR.

The death of Fred. w. Cooper in

brought to notice what appears to be
a strange fatality in the Cooper family,
Fred Cooper died in his twenty-ninth
year, the same year at which his fa-
ther and eight Of his uncles, brothers
Of his father, all died. The death of
all had resulted from illness, and
Cooper became uneasy as his twenty
ninth year approached the halfway
mark. He seemed to have a PRESENT.
ment of trouble, and said in speaking
Of his thirtieth birthday, which would
have come next January: III / can

strange fatality which had dogged his
fathers family overlook him, and he
contracted typhoid and died after

Lovemaklna and PRACTICE.

The only way to become an expert
at lovemaking is to practice This
was the information handed out to a
handful of hearers by the Hindu phil
osopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in
a lecture on "The Science of Love" ="
Love is a divine discomfort" said
the philosopher, "and If you want TO
arouse love in others 1t can be done
only by giving them love. How to
develop the emotion Of love in another
is the great question of today-the art
of making love. 1t needs a great deal
of study and a great deal of prac.
tice."
