REMARKABLE STORIES BASED ON
ACTUAL OCCURRENCES.

Raining Frogs. Fish and Flesh-Colored
Rain and snow-The Kentucky Meat
shower'-The Most Satisfactory Expla-
nation-Shower of Insects.
The very singular phenomenon Familiarity
known as the rain of frogs" has been
ridiculed and coniradicted by some scientists,
out there Is abuno ant proof that such occur
rences are by nu means rare. One Of the
earliest narratives of this kind is that com
municated TO the French academy by Profes-
sor Pontus in 1904. in which he gives an ac.
count of a showe- of frogs near Toulouse.
and states that ne himself saw numerous
young frogs on tho cloaks of two gentlemen
who we're caught in the shower on the road
When the diligence in which he was travelling
arrived at the place where the storm burst,
the roads unj fields were observed TO be abso-
iutely full of frogs. In some places they ap.
peared to be thre or four deep, and the
horses hoofs killed thousands during the
passage of the veh Gle through the spot
SHOWER OF FROGS
An instance OF no less curious frog SHOW
er in our own com try is related by d writer
In The Overland Monthly, who says that in
the year 1854 he was with a number of other
'cui iSeo III Arizona at least twenty
miles from any stream or pond The day
being exceedingly sultry, "a halt was made
for rest of an hour or two, when suddenly
dense black cloud made its appearance
which soon began o discharge a copious rain
Nearly every person in the party wore a
broad brimmed felt hat which proved a
great protection against the rain, as they
had already been against the sun. The at
tention of the trav slers was soon arrested by
a vigorous pelting IF something which seemed
like haiistones uIon their sombreros, but
which, greatly 10 their surprise, proved TO be
species of dimini tive frogs. In less than
two minutes the ass was fairly alive with
these little creatures
They were all of one size, about a quarter
of an inch long, very lively, and apparently
In the best condition. Their fall had evi-
IDENTIFY been broken by the elastic, springy
nature of the grass Alluding to the theory
advanced by some scientists, that in such
cases the frogs must of necessity have arisen
from the ground, the writer says:."It is not
probable that several hundred thousand, per
haps millions, Of trogs had suddenly been
hatched into life by the rain, or, if they had,
that, in their infantile glee, they jumped 5
feet ii inches from the earth to the top of
our heads merely to show how the game of
leap frog should be played. They came from
above, in company with the rain, and this
fact was made cleai by holding out the hand
and seeing them fal upon it, as well as find
ing them upon our hat rims"

cate gauze, soft crepe, lace and even light

which strongly reminds US OF the peplums

gorgeous Grecian robe, which can be re-

has a peplum Of white crepe. to the folds OF

OF all accessories to the dress the glove is

Renova,ing Run-out Orchards.

We often meet with an orchard of appar-
emily healthy trees, which IS practically
fruitless. The owner may tell US that 1t for
merly bore abundant crops, but Of late years
the trees have run out" Why have they
run OUT? They formerly gave good crops
of apples. All the other land on the farm
was expected TO give but one good crop, but
this OF tho orchard was made to give a crop
of grain, or a crop Of grass or clover, to be
taken of as hay. Tho soil soon became tired
of doing this double duty. The trees ''gave
put" because they were robbed Of food; the
first thing they need is foeding. OF course
if the soil needs draining, lay the needed tile
at once, or as soon as the soil will allow.
Such orchards are usually in grass; draw on
a heavy drcs sing Of manure and spread it
and, as soon as the soilis in proper condition
turn over the sod and tho manure with tho
pillow with the hot weather tho sod will de-
ccy rapidly.

Then in a damp time or thaw wash the trees
with soft soap, made with lye or potash. That

made.
Mix the soap with enough water to work
readily, 60 over the seraped portions with it,
and leave the spring rain to finish the work
In due time the bark will be found beauti-
fully smooth and deprived OF all foreign
