PATCHED ON MOTHERS BACK
Toads of Dutch Guiana Have Some what Peculiar Method of Propa-
 gatlng the Species.

The toad of Surinam, Dutch Guiana. is very remarkable in one respect. It first awakes to life while on its moth- CTS back. When the eggs are laid the male takes them in his broad paws and contrives to place them on the back of it's mate, where they adhere by means of glutinous secre- tion. and by degrees become embedded in series of curious cells formed for them in the skin When the process is completed the cells are closed by a kind of membrane. and the back of the female toad bears strong re- semblance to a piece of dark honey comb when the cells are filled and closed. Here the eggs are matched. and in these strange receptacles the young pass through their first stages of life, not emerging until they have attained their limbs and can move about on the ground. Over 120 eggs have been counted upon the back of a single Surinam toad.

Japanese.

The brightest, best tempered and most polite people in the world are the Japanese. They absolutely do not know what 1t is to quarrel, and 1t is said that if you throw stone at a dog or cat in Japan, the animal stands and stares at you in amaze ment-it actually doesn't know what cruelty means. The Japs are jolly people and fond of joke, and they are generous and trustful to marked degree. They also have a strong sense of pride, and travellers relate pecu- liar instance of this trait. If trav- eler is annoyed by being followed by a crowd-which, however, is always quiet and respectful-he can cause 1t to melt away like snowflakes on hot stove by simply halting and holding out coin. The Japs feel hurt at being taken for mendicants. Fancy what the result would be If traveller adopted this expedient in the fee-tak- ing cities of Europe He would be al- most torn to pieces by the crowd try ing to get the coin.

WHY HE CONTINUED PLAYING
Himself to Be "Outuentlemanned" by a Gambler.

Stories of Denman Thompsons quaint and characteristic doings still circulate along Broadway, now and then. Here is one which was told the other night by the attorney who man. aged MT. Thompson's legal business for many years.

 African Fire Drill"

The average civilized man would be hard put to 1t if he were compelled to start fire without matches, finder boxes or burning glass. but in various parts of Africa the natives accomplish this feat with astonishing ease and quickness.
 The materials employed are two simple bits of wood, one fiat, about six inches long and not quite an inch wide, with row of grooves on one side; the other about twelve inches long and of the thickness and shape of lead pencil.
 The longer piece, fixed In one Of the grooves of the shorter piece, Is held tightly between the palms of the hands and whirled rapidly round and round. In a very few seconds the wood dust which is produced by the friction falls through the grooves and begins to smoke. This dust is then carefully nursed into blaze.

A Bed for Seventeen.

Probably there is no bed capable of holding so many as seventeen in this country. But such bed is to be found in the Mount let hut Q0,000 feet above the seal, one of the Swiss noun tain cabins belonging to the Alpine club. The bed is really constructed to hold only fourteen, but the day on which party visited the hut was so exceptionally clear. and the conditions for climbing were so favorable, that twenty-one members and friends. be- sides the guides accompanying them, turned up at the cabin to stay the night. The guides took possession of the kitchen and the twenty-one sorted themselves out as follows-seventeen ."slept" on the bed three on the floor, and the remaining one in chair.

 Kathryn nodded her head amusedly.

 Ben arrived the week after they crossed the ocean. Mrs. Burroughs had gone calling with the prince.
 "Oh, Ben, l wish you'd been with me-" she said, holding both of her hands out to his eager grasp

One of the most interesting of twist ed names is the girls name, Veronica. which, by the way, is not so common as it's beauty entities it to be.

This was celebrated in Christian legend, and the name Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two WOrdR

Matthew Arnold's study of Heine

Matthew Arnold's study of Heine has the following passage:
 "Heines intense modernism, his ab. solute freedom, his utter rejection of stock classicism and stock 'romanti. cism,' his bringing all things under the point of view of the nineteenth cen tury, were understood and laid to heart by Germany, through virtue of her immense, tolerant intellectualism. much as there was in all Heine said to affront and wound Germany. The wit and ardent modern spirit of France Heine joined to the culture of sentiment, the thought of Germany. This is what makes him so remark able; his wonderful clearness, light ness, and freedom, united with such power of feeling and width of range"

Ships to Stop In England.
The Hague, March 4.-Tne German
government informed DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, American minister to The
Netherlands, through the German min
lister, f. Won Mueller, that arrange
ments had been made to grant safe
passage through the naval war zone
TO American relief ships bearing sup
plies for the people of Belgium, but
will not permit them to touch at Brit
ish ports.
The German order stipulates that
relief vessels must be rendered recog-
nizable by the usual marks, which
must be plainly visible at night
(namely, large painted letters on the
ships sides and white flag with the
same marks in red letters.).
Germanys refusal to grant safe con-
duct for relief ships to and from Eng
Hsk ports may have an important
bearing on the relief work. The COM

fell near the Red Cross hospital, while
others dropped close to the royal villa,
but none did any damage.
While the presence of the aero
planes, which were so high as to be
almost invisible, created excitement
they were not allowed to interfere

fact that the proceedings were punctu-

How the Supply Is Conserved and Used
In the German Army.
Suitable drinking water Is of vital i'm
portanee TO an army, and this Is only
one of a multitude OF problems that
must be studied carefully by those who
conduct a successful campaign. The
water supply of a camp Is matter of
great Importance. Only running water
is used.
In the German army the upstream
water is used for drinking purposes
and the downstream water for water
ing horses and for bathing. Suitable
signs notify the men which water iS
safe to drink and which may be used
only for bathing. In shallow or narrow
streams basins are dug or small DANG
built SO as to form a reservoir OF ample
dimensions.
Stepping stones are provided to keep
the water clean, as well as board pro-
lection to prevent the banks from
crumbling. Basins are dug for water
ing horses; troughs are provided only
in case Of necessity and are then prop
ped on posts and filed By means OF
pumps. Pipes may be driven IL water
