How a Snake Dimes on Frog.

A naturalist in Dakota was inter
ested recently in snakes feast on a
frog. He tells about it in the Natural
Science Monthly. Frogs may be sue
culent to snakes, but their deglutition
is very much like hard work. 1t is
difficult to tell where the fun comes
in. The greatest trouble is to swal-
low the frog after catching him. He
is swallowed heels first It is prob
lematic whether this is done by pref
erence or to wedge the victim down.
When caught the frog cries out pitt
fully. This seems to delight his
snakeship. The frog soon finds it is
useless to struggle to release the one
leg swallowed and tries to keep the
other out of the trap. But the snake
gives gurgle and leap and catches
the other leg. Then poor froggy's
eyes dilate and assume CLASSY stare;
the body is stupefed. The snake does
not swallow; it simply crawls over Its
prey by contracting the muscles in its
throat. When the frog gets fairly in
the snakes belly the latter seems to
have terrible case of indigestion. 1t
rolls over and over and looks as If it
would give hundred dollars to get
out of the scrape. Then it becomes
stupefied and doubtless resolves never
to make a fool of itself again, but when
hungry it goes for frogs just as
eagerly as before.

AN ECONOMICAL COUPLE,
How They Made q Comfortable Meal at
Very Small Expense.

How They Made Comfortable Meal at
Very Small Expense.
During one of the most crowded fair
days a well-dressed, comforta ble-look-
ing couple, evidently husband and
wife, went into one of our leading res
taurants. The woman carried a little
sachel, which she held in her lap when
she was seated at the table. They con-
suited the menu card without bit of
the uncertainty and embarrassment
which are so often shown by people
who are strangers to restaurant ways.
when the waiter came the woman
spoke up promptly: Roast beef and a
cup of tea"
The man said: "Apple pie and a
glass of milk"
The restaurant was one where the
portions are generous and the prices in
keeping. When the meat came the
woman divided her own portion in two
equal parts and then hesitated. Her
husband had no plate except small
sne on which his pie was served. The
pie was quickly put in her tea saucer
and one-half the meat put on the pie
plate. Enough bread had been
brought with the woman's order for
two. Before she began to eat she
opened her sachel and produced some
celery, which was divided The bread,
the meat, and the celery disappeared,
and then the apple pie was divided.
The woman slipped her tea and her hus-
band quaffed about half of the tumbler
OF milk and she finished it. Then the
sachel produced some grapes, which
were leisurely eaten.
When the waiter was summoned to
make out the check he saw the ce. ery
heads and grape stems, and looked nom
plussed. but evidently decided that he
wasn't called on to say any thing, and
so the check only claimed pay for the
four articles ordered.
There was nothing in the appearance
OF the pair that limited at any need of
economy. Every thing about them was
hrst-class. and the fact that they avoid
ed low-priced restaurant showed that
they wanted nothing but the best. If
their repast was sample of their gen.
eral management they are on the high
road to wealth. Chicago Times.

ANOTHER eNocH ARDEN.
A Veteran of the War Returns to FIND hii
Wife Married.

A Veteran of the War Returns to Find His
Wife Married.
A strange story comes from New
Castle, Pa. Twenty-eight years ago
)Alfred Waite enlisted in the Union
army at Pittsburgh. AT the close OF
the war he did not return home, and
was supposed to be dead until a few
days ago, when he made his appear
ance before his astOnished relatives In
New Castle and found himself forgot
ten. some of his children dead. others
grown to manhood, and his wife mar
ried again.
The story is a strange one. When
the war broke out Mr.. Waite lived with
his wife and four children in Allegheny
City. After few months service he
obtained a furlough, during which
time he removed his family to New
Castle. and Immediately returned to
his regiment That was the last his
wife saw of him, and during the latter
| part of the war, when his letters
ceased, he was supposed to have been
killed. This supposition was almost
verified when the boys OF his
regiment came marching home and
brought no word of their cOmrade.
Mrs. Waite married man named
Harper Emery, of New Castle. Chill
dren were born to the couple, but the
relation between husband and wife were
not pleasant, and they parted twelve
years ago. A few days ago we'll
preserved man of fifty-nine years ar
rived in New Castle, and with little
difficulty succeeded in finding his way
to the house of Mrs. Martha Waite,
who is the mother of the stranger, and
the relations of mother and son were
soon re-established. From his mother
Mr.. Waite learned of the change in his
family affairs. and of the exceedingly
unpleasant situation. His son Henry
lives in the Westside, and Alfred re-
sides in Youngstown. His wife, with
the Emery children, resides on Sciota
street
At the close of the war Waite, in
company with a number OF comrades,
joined the regular army, in which he
served about thirteen years. He then
went to rairoading, and has been en-
gagged in this work ever since. He gives
no satisfactory reason for not writing
home, only saying that for large por-
ton of the time he was beyond the
bounds of civilization, and as the years
passed he concluded that h, was for
gotten, and that no one would care to
hear from him. He is now living with
his mother on Pine street, New Castle.
What the outcome of the strange COM
plication will be is hard to determine.
