GEN. GRANT wrote letter to Hon.

Committee on Foreign Affairs,in which
be maintained the justice of the meas
ure known as the Japanese Indemnity,
and adds: "Justice seems to me to
dictate that the interest, as well as the
principal, should be paid, just as the
House, by its action, decided. But the
principle involved is of much more i'm
portance to Japan than all the money
in question. Eastern countries have
been SO unaccustomed to fair play from
the stronger Powers of the world, that
this action of Congress, if consum-
mated, will be sucha new departure as
will rebound to our credit if we re-

The life of railroad plant is not
great. New roads, with iron rails and
wooden structures, will need renewals,
for the most part, within ten years.
Ties will rot out in from five to eight
years. Rails endure according to traf-

years. Good wooden bridges, when
new. will be dangerous in ten years, un-

Americans as frog Eaters.

The people of New York are great
frog eaters. They consume more Of
them than do the people of Paris. At
present the regular supply is about 800
pounds per day. But frogs are scarce
and dear at the present. When they be-
come plenty there will be demand of a
ton of frogs meat daily. The best article
comes from Canada in the Ontario dis
trict. The general method of catching
them is with hook and line, using bit
of red flannel to dangle before the eyes
of tie victim and attract his attention,
when the hook is slipped under his chin
and he is snatched up. After being
caught they are killed and skinned and
packed in tubs, holding about fifty pounds
each. Ice is put around them. Nothing
but the hind legs and part of the side
and back are sent to the market. The
fore quarters have little or no meat up
on them. The hind feet are not cut oil.
At this season of the year frogs retail at
sixty cents per pound. As the season
advances and frogs become more plenti-
full the price declines to thirty-five cents
pound. This demand for frogs has
all been developed within ten or twelve
years. Artificial propagation in the
vicinity of New York has failed, it is
said, because of difficulty in getting suf-
fcient cheap food on which to feed tho
tadpoles and young frogs. The con-
sumption of frogs in Boston is also
greatly on the increase. The New York
Truth learns that the largest dealer in
Boston sells about 10000 frogs per
year at an average of sixty cents per
dozen. In the busy season he employs
twelve to fifteen men. who 90 through

Appropriation bill in the Senate, Mr..

pay for printing the debates in the Con-
gressional Record the words ''as actual
