PROOF POSITIVE OF MISTAKE | Frog Was There to Back Up Assertion of Doctor, Many years ago Dr. Woodwara, founder of the Wocdward institute at Quincy, Mass. was much annoyed by a wealthy maiden who was very positive she had swal- lowed a young frog and- that it. was growing in her stomach. After many attempts to disillusion her, the doctor resorted to a strata- a medium-sized frog, and. placing it in his pocket, vis- ited the patient and informed her that he proposed to remove the frog. He administered a powerful emetic. then produced the frog, and she was very happy, and kept the frog as a souvenir. iady In less than a week he had an ur: {i gent call from the lady, who tearfully | informed him that the frog had left one of its family in hes stomach He took the frag, placed him on a table, and with kis microscope examined him long and attentively.

Here is a new view. of providential interference in the affairs of this world: “Our neighbor, Abe Ingles,-had six mortgages on his house and barn, and, as he couldn’t pay up, his creditors de- cided to foreclose him; but Just before the bailiff arrived with papers a prov- idential fire broke out in the kitchen, and the house was burned to the ground.

Wilson, a na- tive of Avon, Conn., was elected to represent his town in tite state legis- lature. Avon, being at the head of the list of towns alphabetically, was always called first when a yea and nay vote was taken, and consequently Mr Wil- son, as its representative, was obliged to go on record first. Of this fact he gsed to complain bitterly, saying: “Avon is the hardest town in the state ‘to represent, because you never can tell which way the majority is going » to vote. ef Louisa Alcott Survived It. iss Louisa M. Alcott was once vigiting in a small town in Connecti- cut in which only a few days before aR exceedingly small child had been born. .In the course of conversation the child was spoken of, and Miss Al- cott laughingly said: “I have heard that I was a very smali infant. In fact, tradition says that I could be pat ih & quart tankard and the cover laced.” One old ‘ldy, who had ‘listehing attentively, then asked, They say they are car- | He also , He | 3008 MUSIC POWERFUL TONIC Clears’ Cobwebs From the Brain and Inspires High Thinking. Good musi¢ is a powerful tonic to many’ people, especially those suffer | ing. from melancholia, Tt lifts them lout of their solemn moods, dispels ' gloom and despondency, kills discour- | aged feelings and gives new hope, new | life and new vigor. It seems to put a | great many people into propef tune. It | gives them the keynote of truth and | beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, \ dispels discord from tke life, scatters | clouds and brings sunshine. All good music is a character build- er, because i:s constant suggestion of harmony, order and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude. Musie clears the cobwebs out of many minds, | so that they can think better, act bet- i ter and live better. Some writers are dependent upon music for their . in- | spiration and their moods. Somehow it brings the muse to them. It adds brilliancy to the brain and facility to | the pen which they cannot seem to get in any other way. | Good music seems to give us a ; touch of the divine and to put us in contact with divinity. It drives out | evil thoughts, making us ashamed of them. It lifts us above petty annoy- | ances and little worries of life and | gives us a glimpse of the idea which | the actual is constantly obscuring.-~- | Success. | MARBLES CAME =ROM GERMANY. of Chi 2 Originated in World’s Toyshop. Marbles got their name from the {fact tbat originally little bits of mar- | bles were rolled down the hills and rounded and pounded by, other stones | until they become toys for children tc play with. It is said that the Dutchman ex ported them to England, from where we got them. Whether they did or not makes little difference to the boys and | girls of to-day. No matter who intro- duced the world to marbles as toys, they are with us, and always will be. Some of you win them from other children—some of you trade postage stamps for them; but some person or- ally bought them from the little store around the corner, whose owner got them from that greatest toy shop in the world—Germany. In the beginning marbles were call- | ed bowls, and men and women played with them, as well as children. Hun- dreds of millions of commies and agates and glassies and shiners are sent to America and the children get more pleasure out of these cheap lit- | Delight Washington Star. i Dynamite “Whiskers.” | The name “whiskers” is applied to i | the outside of the wrappings of frozen dynamite. The “whiskers” ‘are more ‘irritable’ than dynamite itself. A | case is on record where sticks of dyna- mite had been thawed out in hot water and the can of hot water in | which it was done left in the black- | smith shop without being emptied of | the residual scum of grease and whis-- | kers. The first blow of the black- smith’s hammer ona nearby anvil was sufficient to set off the whiskers by | concussion. The can was blown to pieces, but fortunately no one was hurt.

Having no food for their | entertainment, I hurricly purchased two bulls, which I gave the chiefs. Knowing their superstition, I did not kill the animlas, but allowed them to do so.
