FROGS i'm Spring.

When the frog awakens in the spring
he feels dull and stiff and does not like
to appear in society till he has thrown
oft his old, WORKOUT garments and put
on new ones, never hesitating about the
fashion, but following the pattern of his
ancestors for generations upon genera
tions. He begins by pushing his elbows
hard against his sides. and, rubbing
downwards, he keeps on until the skin
on the back bursts, and he then works
it into folds on his sides and hips. Now
grasping his hind leg with his hands he
hauls off one leg of his pants alone, and
there-almost before you can count
three the other goes in the
same way. He now takes the
cast-off cuticle before him between his
legs into his mouth and swallows it, and
even while it yet descends the gullet, he
has torn off the skin underneath and
brought it to his fore legs or hands, and
grasping one of these with the other, by
considerable pulling he strips them just
as he would strip off shirt, and by a
single motion of the head he draws the
skin from the neck and swallows the
whole with CTR r-oak of satisfaction,
for he knows well that such dainty
morsel he can get but once year.

A SILVER dollar with bit of concave
mirror set into one side is by gamblers
called a sinner. By laying it among
the pile of coin and dealing over it, the
operator can know what every player
holds for that deal, the cards being re-
fected in miniature. A member of the
Mining Club of Leadville has been
caught using sinner. By means of it
he won 81, 500 in night, at poker.
