Who Write the Letters.

Mr.. H. T. Buckle, the author of that
marvellous and unhappily incomplete
book, 1.-The History of Civilization,
used always to regard the number of
letters written on an average by the in
habitants of country as an unerring
test of its advance in culture and edu-
cation. 1t is satisfactory, therefore. to
read in the general statistics of the
Universal Postal Union for the year
1Ssl-the latest collated and published
by the international bureau-that as
regards the number of letters conveyed
that year in the mails, Great Britain
stands first with nearly 1,230, 900. 900.
while the United States are second
with rather more than 1000. .000, 900.
Germany-although at long interval
comes third with 563, 900, and
France fourth with 535.000.0OO. In
respect to the number of letters and
postcards sent annually to each indi-
vidual, Great Britain again occupies
the first place with 50, as against q in
the United States, 19 in Switzerland,
Is in Germany, Is in France, in
Austria, in Italy, 5 in Spain, and l in
Russia. In the number of newspapers
conveyed in the domestic mails the
United States rank first, with 850, 600,
600; Germany second. with 440, 900, 900:
France third, with $4,000. 900. and
Great Britain bad fourth. with 14O,-
100000. The last report of the Amer
lean Postmaster General will naturally
be scanned with interest when he deals
with the depredations of the mails

The Habits OF the Frog.

The frog spends most of his time in
the water, when he loafs under stone,
but he can hop across the country when
his native pond dries up in a style that
would discount an American camel
making for an oasis. When he finds
another pool of water he stays there
and makes himself comfortable. DC.
casionally he will stop and spend some
time in a moist locality. where there is
nothing but ooze or damp leaves. He
has four non-palmatcd fingers, a rudi-
mentary thumb, aud enormous extensoi
muscles in his hind legs. He lives upon
bags, and has been known to swallow
small birds, but. like other amphibia,
and unlike the ward politician, he can
not drink. His tongue is fastened to
the lower jaw at the tip instead of at the
base, and he slings it out after cricket
or June bug like a lasso. The encyclo-
pndia states that the frog is peculiar
for the presence of occipital condyles
and the development of the transverse
processes of the sacrum, but most peo-
pie do not believe this. His greatest
peculiarity lies in the fact that there is
nothing to eat on his bones except the
muscles of his legs.
The number of frogs sent North
during the spring and summer is enor.
NOUS. From the tributaries of the
Chesapeake Bay alone the frog crop
averages 100000 year. In the salt
marshes of the South they grow larger
than they do elsewhere. but the meat is
coarser and not so edible. Frogs are as
prolific as herring. Millions of little
black tadpoles infest every mudpuddlc.
The knowing fish esteem them very
highly as food, bat the tadpo!e who es.
capes consumption for three weeks
drops his tail. which is only temper.
ary affair anyway, grows four ample
legs and goes out to be .'bloody
himself until he is shot or hooked tC
satiate the inveterate nav of the lore
of creation. Baltimore Sun.
