AN AWFUL FROG SToRY.-A man named South
worth, living in Warren Pennsylvania, has just
elected from his stomach frog which had been
living there for fifteen years. Mr.. Southworth las
had great deal of trouble with that frog 1t used
to begin to croak at the most unreasonable hours
When Southworth would 20 TO church. for instance
the frog would remain quiet until the congregation
engaged in silent prayer, and then it set up such
terrific yowl that the sexton would run in and collar
Southworth and drag him out to quiet down in the
graveyard. Sometimes the frog would give a noe
turnal serenade after Souihwortb asleep in Led
and then Sothworth would rise, as mad as anything
and sieze a stomach pump and try to draw the frog
up. But the subtle reptile had had that trick tried
on him too often during those fifteen years. and it
always Skinned up the tube piece, out of the draft
and waited until Southworth exhausted himself
Southworth never fooled that frog great deal. And
when frogs were in season, Southworth used to fish
for this with fly; but it always refused to rise,
and the fly buzzed around so in Southworth's ali
mentary canal that it nearly ticklsd him TO DEATH
So SouthwOrth had TO wait until the other day.
when the frog thought it would come up and go
and friend; and when it did come Southworh
killed it with fork. He says the frog used to eat
twice much he did; but we have been thinking
it over, and it seems to us the statement must be
exaggerated somebow.-Figdro

The GRAPE SUGAR lNDUsTRY-1he manufact-
ure of grage sugar has assumed large proportions.
In Germany there were in 1868 sixty establish
ments in operation which produced that year
220OO,000 pounds of syrup and 100000 of
sugar. Since that time, other and more expen-
sive factories have been established, and the cul-
tivation of potatoes for the purpose also cover
ing large extent of territory. The potato
plantations are usually in sandy dstrects, adapted
to their growth. The method pursued in nearly
all of the refneries are identical. The wet starch
is first put into large wash tub, where under
constant stirring for an hour, it Is entirely dis
solved into water and diluted acid. From the
wash tubs it is run into watts where it can be boil
ed by steam-here it remains for sugar four or
five hours. for syrup two or three hours. 1t is
then put into the neutralizng tanks to be treated
with carbonate of lime and left until the sedi-
ment, chiefly composed of gympsum, has settled
this usually requires SIX hours. The sweet
liquid thus obtained is evaporated in vacuum
pans, filtered, and left to crystalline, if sugar is to
be made, or is manufactured into syrup. The
process does not essentially differ from that pur
sued in the Uuited State where corn starch is
chiefly employed. The great increase in the
wine growing districts of America has occasioned
an enlarged demand for glucose and the manu-
facture of this article appears destined to assume
large proportions in the United States where
corn can be obtained in unlimited quantity
