TOADS AND FROGS.
Some of the Superstitions Concerning The*
in Various Platts.
Some traits of “The Mediaeval Toad"
were recounted In a paper written by
Mrs. Frances M. Butler of Snow Hill,
Md„ and read by Mrs. John C. Wren
shall at the last monthly meeting of
the Baltimore Folklore Society. In the
time of Shakespeare. It stated, the toad
was credited with secreting a poisonous
venom while in hiding which it spat
out indiscriminately at man and beast
The cattle plague In England and many
mysterious human deaths were attri¬
buted to the work of the toad. The
spider was supposed to equal the toad
In venom, but In these days toads eat
spiders with apparently impunity.
The American toad Mrs. Butler
stated, 1s larger, not so dark, and more
agile than Us English brother. Toads
are Imported into F-ngland from Aus¬
tria. packed in moss, and sold at $15
or $20 a hundred.
In physic the toad, or part of It, has
always been credited with great pow¬
ers. For Instance, the right eye of a
frog wrapped In russet cloth and hung
around the neck was supposed to cure
the right eye of the wearer of bleari¬
ness. The same was true of the left
eye of the frog for the left eye of the
wearer. A toail, dead or alive, placed
at the back of the neck wns supposed
to stop nose bleed. Dried and powder¬
ed, the frog was supposed to be an
Irrcslstable love philter.
It Is related of the American Indans
that they believed that a council of the
gods was held for producing light at
night. The whippoorwill made the
moon out. of a large frog, and the cold
ness of the moon Is attributed to tho
frogs natural coldness.
Another tradition related of savage
tribes Is that the toad quarrelled with
tlie woodpecker and caused the De¬
luge. It Is said that they disputed
fiver honey which the toad was In¬
duced to climb a tree In order to ob¬
tain. Then the woodpecker knocked
the toad out of the tree, and In re¬
venge the toad -drank up all the wat¬
er on earth, leaving the birds dry
and thirsty. In a subsequent qunrrel
the toad Incautiously danced about,
burst, and the water covered the earth
in a flood.
In Maryland tlie bite of the toad Is
considered poisonous if not deadly. An
old superstition is that handling toads
will cause wnrts to grow on tho hands.

ALLEN RESOLUTION TABLED.
Senate Vtfta Determine. That Con.lftn
tlon Doom Not Kxt<>nd Over Porto Hico,
The senate at Friday’s session again
took up the Porto Rican appropriation
bill. The amendments of Ihe senate
committee limiting the appropriation
to revenues collected prior to January
1, 1900, having been agreed to Thurs¬
day, a vote was taken on Mr. AMon’s
amendment declaring the constitution
extended over the island,
Mr. Allen’s amendment was laid on
the table, 30 to 17.
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, withdrew
the amendment he offered Thursday
and in its place offered an amendment
proposing free trade between the United
States and Porto Rico. It differs from
the first amendment Mr. Jones offered,
as that previously proposed provided
that the money collected should be
repaid to those who hSul paid it.
All amendments to the Porto Rigan,
appropriation bill were withdrawn or
voted down, and the bill was passed
without division.
PROHIBITION QUESTION
Will Not Ho Submitted to Georgia Voter*
In Muy I\i*i*iary.
By a practically unanimous vote the
Georgia Democratic state executive
committee, at ita meeting in Atlanta,
refused the suggestion to submit the
question of state prohibition to a vote
of the people at the May primary on
the ground that the committee had no
jurisdiction over tho matter.
The appearance of two ojf the lead¬
ing prohibitionists of the state—Colo¬
nel C. R. Pringle, of Sandersville, and
Judge Alvin Freeman, of Coweta—be¬
fore the committee when it was called
to order came in the nature of a sur¬
prise, ns it was kuown to only a few
of the members that the prohibition¬
ists of Georgia had determined to pre¬
sent- a petition requesting that the is¬
sue of state prohibition be submitted
to the people.

THE QUAY CASE.
Senator’s Friends Secure Order Looking
i To a Final Vote On Matter*
Senator Quay’s friends, through
Senator Hoar, succeeded Friday in
getting the senate to make ati order
looking to a final vote upon the Quay
case. Those who havo been fighting
Senator Quay seem to think that the
Quay victory is of a very doubtful na¬
ture because the decision of tho senate
to consider the case is hedged about
by a lot of provisions.
. But the fact remains that a step to¬
ward the end has been taken, and the
present will probability is that Mr. Quay
be given a seat somotime before
the end of the present session.

REFUSED TO CONCUR
-Jlouse Does Not Agree With Sen¬
ate On Porte Rican Bill.
CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM
Insists On Original Provision—Democrats,
- However, W e re Willing to Avoid
Further Delay.
A Washington special says: The
house Monday refused to concur in
'the senate amendments to the Porto
Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup¬
ported a motion to concur on the
ground that it would avoid further de¬
lay in extending relief to the inhabi¬
tants of the island, but the Republi¬
cans stood firmly behind Chairman
Cannon in his demand that the house
should insist upon its original provis¬
ion to appropriate not only the money
pollected on Porto Rican goods up to
January 1st, but all subsequent mon¬
eys collected or to be collected.
When the Porto Rican appropria¬
tion bill was called up Mr, Cannon
moved that the house non-eoncur in
the senate amendments and Mr. Mc¬
Rae, of Arkansas, moved concurrence.
Mr. Cannon explained the changes
made in the bill by the senate.
• -.Mr. McRae said that the essential
difference between the two bills was
that the house affirmed the right of
the United to impose the Diugley
rates against Porto Rico, whereas the
senate provision upon this subject was
Members .on both sides, he said,
were agreed that the duties collected
•on Porto Rican goods should be re;
turned, the Democrats taking the po¬
sition that there should be absolute
free trade between the island and the
United States. (Democratic applause.)
Mr. Bell, of Colorado, also advo¬
cated concurrence in the senate
amendments.
Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, and
Mr. McCIeaiy, of Minnesota, advo¬
cated Mr. Caunon’s motion, declaring
that the Porto Rican tariff bill pro¬
posed to treat tho people of the island
than tho people of any territory
of the United Btates were ever treated,
Mr. Swanson of Virginia denounced
the Porto Rican tariff bill as “infa
mons” and said the pending bill to
give hack the duties collected under
the Diugley law was an attempt to su
gar-coat the outrage. The power to
fix the duties on goods coming into
going from this country was the
power exercised by England prio/ to
the revolution an dwas on® of the main
reasons why the colonies threw off the

Browsing's Courtesy to Servant
To Robert Browning a man was a
man, whether he was served by many
people or was the servant of others.
On one occasion his son Barrett had
hired a room in a neighboring house to
exhibit his pictures, and, in the tem¬
porary absence of the artist, Mr.
Browning was doing the honors to 9.
roomful of fashionable friends. He
was standing near the door when an
unannounced visitor made her appear¬
ance, and of course he shook hands
with her, greeting her as he did the
other arrivals.
“Oh, I beg pardon,” she exclaimed,
“but, please, sir, I’m the cook. Mr.
Barrett asked me to come and see his
pictures.”
