A Locomotive Engineers Cat.

An engineer on the Danville railway,
whose runis between Danville and Spring.
field, has a cat which he would not part
with for love or money. It belonged to
his wife, who is now dead, and for mzsIy
years past il has been his constant com
pnion in the cab. Ordinarily il sits
perched up in the cab window before its
master, but occasionally it strolls out 10
the pilot, where il will ride for hours at
a stretch, winking knowingly ut the dogs
which bark az the train ms it thunders by
the cross roads. Sometimes when the
train is approaching a station the adven-
mrous animal climbs to tine top Of the
sandbox and calmly roosts there, unde-
TERED by the shrek Of the whistle or the
clang Of the bell. The engine has had
good luck ever since the animal became
an occupant Of the cab, and the trainmen
look upon il rs a mascot. Chicago Her

Raising Frogs for Market.

Ever since American epicures developed
a taste for the legs Of frogs, about twenty
five or thirty years ago, the possibility OF
raising frogs in private ponds as trout are
raised has received a deal of attention.
Among those who have tried il is Mr..
Fred Mather, the fish culturist Of Cold
Spring Harbor, L. |. The late Seth Green
also experimental with frog spawn for
two years. Mr.. Mather says that it is 10
trouble at all TO gather frog spawn and
hatch millions of polliwogs, and the pol.
liwogs may be easily fed on 10th meat
and vegetables, for they eat both. So
far, raising frogs is easy. But when
it comes TO caring for the frog after he
has left the tadpole state the enterprise
fails. Mr.. Mather says lie finds, as Seth
Green did, that all that was necessary
was 20 procure insects in sufficient guam
titles TO feed the frogs, but no one can
procure the insects. Meat and vegetables
such as table refuse won't do-even good
meat alone is not frog food, and Mr.
Mather says that if it were it would COS.
too much. To make frog culture a sue
cess the culturist must at the same time
become a breeder of beetles, flies, mus
quitoes snd other insects and snails.
Mr.. Lather says that even if the insects
could b. raised for food the possibility Of
making o frog pond pay would not be
great. Big frogs eat up the little ones
for one thing, and besides that il takes
several-perhaps l0-years for a frog TO
reach a marketable size. The actual time
required for growth is not known, but
Mr.. Mather says that many Uf the polli-
wogs do not get their legs until the next
aso after they ire Matched. which
shows they are Of very slow growth.
Occasionally n story describing a frog
farm has been printed in some of tho pa
pers. Mr.. Mather says he has investi-
gated every story that seemed TO be true
and found them all a~pocryphal. He con-
cludes that frog culture is a delusion and
that n paying frog farm cannot now and
probably will be established New

lie Didn't Like Hot Bread.

An American woman Of high social
pos.son thinks that Englishmen as guests
are difficult 10 understand. One well
known literary man who paid a recent
visit at her house was not at all difident
in expressing bis choice in food. Among
other articles which he requested was
dry toast. Every morning the cook
would prepare a plate Of hot toast, and
with equal regularity he would spread
the pieces until they became stone cold.
His explanation was that he could not
appreciate the American longing for hot
bread.-Chicago Herald.

tn. late Emperor,s order.

Il Is said now that the late Emperor
Frederick issued an order that for the
future no German officer should appear
in uniform, except on parade, at mess, or
on some official occasion. Hitherto the
German army has lived in It's uniform,
n particular advantage Of that practice
arising from the fact that few OF the
officers could afford q suitable citizens

A CHANCE OF TUNE.

A northeastern democratic paper lf:3- mediately after the nomination of Cleye- land and Thurman came cut with the usual strong Oandana colOrs and loud acclaim suggesting the following a. a campaign battle cry:
 "The laboling man Slll vote free-trade,
 Througho1; New Yo-k and Indiana; Our prophet, Grove, he hath said:
 TI! sweep theisnd with Old Bandana.' :"
 Since that tinie there seems to have occurred d mitch somewhere, and the same journal Is unable to exp.a n the cause while a neighbOriy republican paper suggests that he music might be changed, CT set 10 Q different key, some thing Ike ihls:
 "The grand old party's made blunder.

 And, Grover, defeatcd you will surely
 be,

 While frs edom's fig floats o'er the tree.

He will lay the result ot his observa- tjons before the American woTkingmen, the Home Market club having engaged him 10 give a series of public addresses under us auspices He will reach this country soon and devote month to speaking in public in most of the large industrial centers in New England and the middle states, If possible be will 50 as far west as Chicago.
