THE FROLlCSOME FROG.

of Natural History.

An Entertaining and Instructive Chapter
of Natural History.
The frog is very curious animal re-
sembling the toad, but it has an advan-
tage over the toad in that it can swim.
1t has long pair of legs in the rear and
deep bass voice in 'front.' Some people
admire the frogs voice, but that de-
ponds upon the kind of mnsic they were
brought up to; others admire the hind
legs of the frog. This is owing to the
style of beef they have been used to-
An appetite for frogs legs is apt to be
hereditary, and not acquired at one sit.
ting.
A frog, in the first stages of it's career,
gives no hint as to what it will eventu-
ally become. AS far as looks 60, one
would suppose it was going to be cat
fish. 1t spends the first days of it's life
swimming about in some pool, wagging
che small tail that accompanies it. By
and by apair of legs begin to stick out
from under it's vest; these it uses for a
time to kick with, and then moves them
up to the shoulders to make way for it's
long and esculent hind legs. 1t is then
that the frog shakes its tail, quits wa
ter except for bathing purposes, and be-
comes an article of commerce.
The frog figures largely in fairy-tale
literature, where he is usually described
as young fellow who has determined
that it is his time to 60 wooing, and con-
sequently gets himself in trouble.
The largest frogs weigh from six to
eight tons. They are railroad frogs

The CHINESE PuG-TAlL.
Originally the Cue Was q Badge
Humiliation and Servitude.

Originally the Cue Was Badge of
Humiliation and Servitude.
The Chinese pig-tail is badge of
servitude. A little more than three
hundred years ago the Chinese prided
themselves on their long, black hair,
which covered the whole of their heads
When they were conquered by the Man.
chus, who rushed in upon them from the
North, their conquerors made them
shave their heads as sign of submis-
sion. Shaved heads became the fash
ion, and now even the Manchus them
selves wear bald scalps. The Chinaman
has become proud of his pig-tail. He
braids false hair into it to make it
longer, and pieces it out with black silk
thread. He oils it until it shines like
polished Jet, and he lets this greasy,
black snake hang down upon and soil the
most delicate of yellow and sky-blue
silk gowns. He has his hair restorer
just as has the American dude, and it
may be of advantage to some of our
bald-headed men to know that fat rat
diet is supposed, in China, to be condu-
Give to hair growing. 1 asked my
Chinese servant, while travelling
through to Peking, as to the prices
of shaving. He told me that in the in
terror you could get shave for cent,
and that the prices rose according to the
wealth of the customer. "Mandarins, :"
said he, 'often have BARRIERS connected
with their yamens, and the swell China
man is shaved in his own residence.
Ninety-nine hundredths of the shaving
is, however, done on the street, and the
BARRIERS whole outfit costs less than
three dollars. His razor, which is in
the shape of triangle, can be bought
for from five to ten cents. The strop
made of cotton or leather, costs about a
nickel, and his brass basin is less than a
dollar. He has two little stools painted
red, without backs, upon which his Gus
toners sit bolt upright while they are
being shaved. These stools have drawers
below them in which his shaving uten-
sils are carried, and he goes with them
hanging to the end of pole, balanced
over his shoulders, from place to place,
announcing his presence by an immense
tuning fork, about ten inches long,
which he pounds against the stools from
time to time. He uses no soap and often
shaves with cold water. Chinese women
usually dress their own hair. They
paint their faces and blacken their eye
brows, pulling out the hairs in order to
make the arch like that of rainbow
