SHORT POUNDS OF BUTTER.
Tho respectful attention of the com
mercial paper published In tho inter
ests of tho butchers and grocers of this
city is directed to tho following state
ment of facts. Mr. B. J. Beer of this
city, last week bought some creamery
butter, paying 30 cents per pound for
a fancy brand. It was bought at a
grocery store, and we presume that
the store keeper is a member of tho
union. On weighing tho packages he
found they tipped tho scales at 13
ounces. An cmployo of this paper pur
chased what was supposed to bo a
pound of butter and it weighed a lit
tle more than fourteen ounces. Each
of these purchases were made at dif
ferent stores.
Wo have noted that Mr. Harrington
has been inveighing against goods that
aro sold with a premium, nnd that the
butchers and grocers and other mer
chants generally, seem to take kindly
to tho idea, which may bo good or
may not, because wo do not seo any
improvement in quality, lncreaso in
quantity, or decrease In price sinco our
soap man quit giving us coupons en
titling us to a year's subscription to
tho Woman's Homo Companion, or a
silver plated sugar spoon. So wo di
rect attention to this matter in tho
public manner wo do In order that
Brother Harrington may lay asldo his
fight on tho parcels post and tho pre
mium coupon and tackle this matter
right at tho fountain head.
We also suggest to tho purchasing
Public that when ono goes to buy a
Pound of butter ho is entitled to six
teen ounces nnd should insist on get
ting it We further suggest to tho
food Inspector that in his Pegasus like
flights from store to store and shop
shop, that tho condemnation of im
pure food is not nil tho duty ho has
to attend to. Ho should weigh up a
pound or so of butter occasionally and
when ho catches grocers selling un
der weight lie should cause tho offend
ers to bo snatched boforo his Honor

court.
Prices aro too high and salaries too

MALE TOADS HATCH EGGS.
Reversal of Natural Proceedings Ir
Some Species. I
In the animal kingdom moro that
one species divides tho labor of Incu-
batlon, but several species of toads 1
arc known In which tho care of the i
eggs devolve upon tho males.
The Chilian or Darwin's, frog Is nne i j
of these, the male being provided
with a largo pouch covering tho en- i
tiro under part of tho body. It has
two openings Into tho mouth and the
eggs aro swallowed Into this curloin
receptacle, whoro they lomaln until
tho tndpolcs aro ready to begin nn
Individual existence.
Tho fomulo has no pouch and once
tho eggs are laid takes no further I
Interest in lior offspring, leaving the
entire care of tho family to tho de
Wed father. j
Another species has an equally
curious mode of caring for the egg, i j
the male wrapping tho strings of new- .
laid eggs about his hind legs and re
tiring to tho seclusion of somo handy
holo until tho advent of tho tadpoles j
releases him from his confinement. i
Tho Surinam toads do not pass j
through the tadpole stage, but make
their appearance as full-fledged toads.
In this case they nro under their j
mother's care, tho male assisting her
to place tho eggs one by ono Into the
hexagonal cells upon her bank,
where they aro carried safely through
lrcubatlon.
