FROG AND ALLIGATOR. Persons in the
habit OF walking along Charles street near
Beacon, are familiar with the tank in
Shows apothecary store, with its numer-
ous gold fish, which, with monster frog
two alligators, and turtle, formed what
seemed TO be harmonious and happy
family But appearances in this case, as
in so many others, were deceptive. The
huge frog, whose swollsn figure was so
conspicuous at the side of the tank towards
the window, was a most voracious mon
ster devouring other frogs, as well as
making dainty meal off the delicate gold
fish. A few days ago one OF the alhga-
tors, eleven inches long, was missing, and
after search had been made everywhere
else, it occurred to the owner OF the tank
to examine the inside of the frog, though
it hardly seemed reasonable to suppose
that he had swallowed the alligator. But
on opening his mouth it was clear that
TINS was the case. and by putting the finger
Gown the frogs throat the body of the al
ligator, somewhat softened, but not de-
composed, was brought up from the I'M
bounded stomach of the huge croker. We

which we are to work, not unity of form

souls into Christ's hands; to persuade
them to be glad to be there to be willing

Leaks in the Dairy.

Hon. Harris Lewis who knows as much
about dairying as most men, read recent
lecture on the above subject, which we
find condensed in the Country Gentleman
as follows;
The first he would allude to was the
manner of driving the COWS to and from
the pasture Many dairymen suffer the
COWS to be driven by dogs, and not unfre-
quently through a close and muddy bar
way. where permanent injury to the cows
was often caused by their crowding and
hooking each other BOYS are sometimes
allowed to drive them with stones and
sticks, often soaring them into a run He
would prefer well trained shepherd dog
to any boy he ever saw Carelessness in
driving COWS caused a leak OF from ten to
fifteen per cent
Time and manner Of milking. Here
j. zig leak No rough man, who storms
or wells at the COW. should be allowed in
the ward The COWS should be MIXED by
the clock Each man should have his own
COWS. and always milk No. / first and No.
. next. and 80 on 1t viii not do to milk
Polly first and sally last in the morning,
and Sally first and Polly last at night.
Milk Quickly and gently without any eN
element The COWS will give more milk
and more readily

A Fort Madison, Iowa, correspondent
Of the Chicago InterOcean writes as fol
lows:
Some twelve miles below this city (near
Montrose) are situated some very fine
looking apple trees growing in the
midst of the forest For long time their
origin has been matter of conjecture
The peculiarities of these trees, first the
shape of the leaf, which is much larger
than the ordinary apple leaf, being long
and quite slender. Second. they bear
fruit of the finest flavor, and parties come
for miles round to taste them, and some
take leaves and press them to keep as Gu
riOsitieS
An old settler, who resided in this part
of the country before Black Hawk and
numerous other Indian chiefs left, gave us
the following information: He says the
honor of planting these trees lies between
the chiefs Black Hawk and X eokuk and their
respective tribes st. Louis being the
center trading point OF the Far Vest
at that time, these tribes Of lndi ans had 10
go there to procure supplies of Gen. Clark,
who was acting as agent OF Indian Affairs
at that point He informs us that between
the years 1895, and 1898, Red Wing, then
a famous young chiet, on his return from
St. Louis. spent few days at st. Charles,
Missouri, then a small settlement, now
a tiourishing city. While there he was given
a few apples to eat, which he seemed to
enjoy very much, and asked for some OF
the trees One OF the settlers procured
some twenty young sprouts, and care
fully covered the roots and gave him
the necessary Instructions in planting
them. These he carried a distance OF
one hundred miles to his home and planted
around his wigwam. Black Hawk gave
this as the true origin of the trees. They
are one hundred wears old and from pres
ent appearances will live the balance of

CIVIL RIGHTS IN BARBER SHor. That
was good reply which a colored barber
in this city gave to delegation of colored
men who called upon him for the purpose
of claiming the right to be shaved 'the
same as white man" Sir" said the
spokesman of the delegation, we demand
the right to be shaved here"
at can't be done, " answered the colored
barber
Then the spokesman came down with a
pertinent thrust, saying, "Ain't our money
as good as anybody's? And the colored
barber answered thus: Yes, just as
good, but there is not enough of it,"
The barber in telling me Of the circum-
stance said II am colored man and
have to work for a living, and the minute
1 commence shaving darkeys that minute
every one of my white customers would
leave me. The biggest radical in town
would quit me just like the democrats.
It's contrary to the nature of white man
to mix that way with the negroes; and,
whats more, they won't do it. You can't
get white man in the town to shave in a
shop where negroes are shaved | wouldn't
either, if | was them and Pm not going
to break up my business to accommodate
a few swell-head niggers who want to put
in all the style of white men" [From a
Chattanooga letter.
