A Toad's Table Manners.
One suauner night when we were
sitting round the porch light, says a
writer in Country Life, ono of us
noticed a toad that eves attalting fran-
tic efl'orfe to climb the three steps
that lead to the walk, Ile finally
reached the verandah floor tend began
flipping at the bugs that had fallen
into the circle of Iight that the lamp
east,
Sone of us began eatebing beetles
anti dropping them near his nose, and
he soon appeared to accept us as his
natural providers, Ile was back the
next night and, in feet, every night
while the toad eeason lasted; and ho
has continued to visit' us in the same
manner every summer, It is evident-
ly the memory of a well -set table that
brings him back each year,
There are certain bugs, such as po-
tato beetles and squashbugs, that the
toad will not touch. He likes light-
ning bugs only when he is very bun-
gry, but he is not often too full to
spear a luckless rune bug that comes
within reach of his tongue, Now and
then a big clinching beetle clinches
it strong mandibles 05 the toad's lip
or foreleg and clings there, much to
his inconvenience, but, apparently pot
to Ids great suffering. • One night
some one offered him one of the 'big
green larvae that feed on 'grana
leaves. The worm was the size of a
man's finger, but tee toad undertook
to swallow it, He would have sue-
seeded had he taken the grub bead-
first; but, since be started' with the
tall, the worm could dig its hooked
feet into the floor and crawl out the
toad's mouth. At the end of five min-
utes the grub finally crawled free,
though' it died from the coating of
toad digesterthat it had encountered.
It is fun for the youngsters to feed
katydids to the toad; he has Such a
time swallowing all the legs and
antennae. He stuffs them into his
mouth with his paws, very much as
a little boy crams in more Dake than
his mouth will comfortably hold.
Moreover, the toad is troubled by the
insect's kicking after it is down; and
sometimes a jarfly will sing quite a
swan song after it is engulfed. At
such times the foad pats his stomach
with his forefeet or lies flat on the
floor and stretches himself as far as
he can reach,
If You Forget.
If you forget to do the kindly deed,
Some sad soul may go sadder on
its way;
And Ilrearier eti1J may be its dark-
roue day,
Missing a friend in need.
If you forget that helpful word to say,
Some sore heart may be filled with
fiercer ache;
And, needing ss mpathy, that heart
may break
So speak the word to -day.
1f you forget to say, to think, to do
The tiring to help a fellow -soul
along,
Your soul must bear the burden of
the wrong
