was sent to the state senate. An
old 8lave, who had belonged to
him, was also elected to the senate.
The two drew adjoining seats. Sen

in addressing his former slave, al

Upon examination at the expira
tion of this time he found that; all
the toads in the sandstone block
were dead and more or less decom
posed, showing that they had been
dead for a long time, while most
of the large toads in the limestone
block were alive, but in every in
stance the glass cover was cracked.
When weighed they showed a con
siderable decrease in weight. The
conclusion reached was that toads
cannot live a year if totally ex
cluded from air and that they can
not live two years if totally de
prived of food.

Its Not Love-Making.
They had been reading about
courtship in Mexico, the round
about way in which it is conduct
ed and all that, says the Chicago
Post, and finally they came to this
paragraph:
After a time the suitor is receiv
ed by the girl, always accompanied
by her mother, who usually car
ries on the entire, conversation;
with the young man.
Then they looked at each other
and laughed.
“How ignorant they are!” he
said at last.
“Oh, very! ” she returned.
“And they call that love-mak
ing,” he suggested.
“Absurd!” she asserted. - »
“The fact is,” he said, ‘‘they
don’t know the difference between
making love and conducting nego
tiations.”
Then they went into executive
session, from which the Mexicans
might have learned ranch.

Spinsters.
Unmarried women are called spin
sters, or spinning women, because it
was a maxim among our forefathers
that a young woman should not marry
until she had spun enough linen to fur
nish her house. All unmarried, old or
young, were then called spinsters, a

was inclined to do the same, says
an exchange. Some time ago he
Juried a case of “Alabaster vs.

there was one of “High vs. Low, ”
and later he was confronted with
a suit of “Halfpenny vs. Penny.”
His. honor was at first under the
