A Detroit Free Press reprint shows a blackface skit mocking lineage and class as Elder Toots sketches mock genealogies. Members heckle from a crowd of 164 while Prof. Parker seeks his ancestral truth, then faints amid a mock trial of blacksmiths and poets.

Are Toads Poisonous and How They Defend Themselves
A Knowledge magazine excerpt explains that toads are venomous through skin secretions rather than teeth. Post-occipital glands emit an acrid milky fluid that irritates skin and mucous membranes and can inflame abraded surfaces. The piece cites examples from Oxfordshire and tropical toads, noting snakes and predators avoid or are harmed by the toxin.
