A Remarkable Toed. 1 la Surinam there is a remarkable . toad like creature, the female of which . carries the young in a series of cells in j the thick skin of the back, which a«9 sumes a strange honeycomblike appeari ance. When this lady toad is carrying ■ her nursery about with her, she is a 9 very repulsive looking object. Single ’ handed she would be quite unable to cope with the important question of placing eggs where they will be most . favorably disposed for hatching, and for . this she has to rely on the good services i of her mate. Soon after the eggs are i laid thoy are taken up by the male and > pressed, one by one, into the cells in the ' thickened sitin of his partner’s back. There they grow until they fit closely to the hexagonal form of their prisons, each of wnich is closed above by a kind of trapdoor. After a period of some 82 days the ' eggs reach their full development aud > produce, not tadpoles, but actually per- ' feet little toads. The reason of this is that the tadpoles, which require to breathe the air dissolved in the water by means of their external gills, con'd . pot exist in the cells, and consequently ; this stage of development is passed ; through very rapidly within the egg. In ( due time the young toads to the number of 80 or 100 burst open the lids of their cells, poke out their and make their entrance into the world. The mother toad rubs off the remains of the cells against any convenient stone or plant stem and comes out in a brand new spring outfit.—Knowledge. People Wonder. People wonder at the great results obtained from the use of Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup. It is a remedy that has given uni versa! satisfaction wherever usedr Mothers praise it as a medicine for children. It can lie given to childrep without danger. It is very pleasant to >ne taste, and children cry for it. This Cough Syrup is a family medicine and shouHbe in every house. You cannot afford to be without a bottle of Dr. Marshall’s Lung Svaup. It is guaranteed to give satisfaction. By dealers everywhere, 25, 50 aud sl. o Colonel A. G. Patton has med an answer to the suit brought against him by the southern prison board. The claim that he owes $30,000 is denied, and an offset is alleged which far exceeds the claim of the state. The Indiana Federation of Trades, which has been in session at Fort Wayne, elected Edgar A. Perkins of Indianapolis president and J. J. May of Logansport secretary. They declared in favor of the government ownership of railroads. There is one medicine which every family should be provided with. We refer to Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. When it is kept at hand the severe pain of a burn or scald may be promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inflammation sets in, which insures a cure in about onethird the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises slioulD receive immediate attention, before yhe parts become swollen anrt when Chamberlainjs Pain Balm is applied it will heal them without matter being formed, and without leaving a scar. A sore throat may*be cured iu one night. A piece of flannel yampened with this liniment and bound on ov6r the seat of pain, will cure lame back ordain in the side or chest in twenty-four hours. It is the most valuabe, however, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted with this disease will be dedelighted with the prompt relief from pain which it affords, amt it can be depended upon to effect a complete cure.

I The Fight Whn Made Squarely Upon the Morltw of the yumtlon — Sound Money Element Gain Another Victory. ’ | Atlanta, Oct. 15 —Soon after the ’ Farmers National congress, which met. here last week and has been holding j ’ daily sessions since, resumed its sitting I yesterday a sehsation wits sprung in the ■ form of a fight on free silver which rei suited in the complete defeat of the 16 > fol forces. By a vote of 2519 14 t.o 104 5-14 the congress refused to insert ' the words “At a ratio not to exceed 16 I to 1” in a resolution asking congress to ! use both gold and silver on a parity and calling for an international conference >I on the monetary question The resolu- [ sion was one whi&i had just come from , the committee on resolutions and was , reported favorably. It was offered -by , J. G. Offut, a prominent delegate from Indiana. The states known as silver States favored the amendment, and the east, north and south voted almost solidly against it. The fight was made squarely on the ■ merits of the question and the issue was ; in no way clouded with parliamentary technicalities. The delegates who fiv . voted the free and unlimited coinage of t silver at 16 to 1 voted for the amendment and it was lost by a majority of ’ 147. The victory of the sound money ■ element iu the congress was emphasized ■ later in the day when a resolution de- , daring opposition to the further issue f of interest bearing treasury bonds or notes under any circumstances was lost.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. - Flectrie Car Barely Avoids a Collision U ilh a Railroad Train. Cincinnati, Oct. 15.—When car No. . 23 ou the east end electric line was going down the long grade in Martin street.,, at. the foot of which it was to cross the Louisville and Nashville tracks, it refused to obey the motorman.
