Selling the succuient Frog.

Two Or three times a month bright
boy with a business Ike air visits the
hotels and restaurants. He was en-
countered the other day in down town
lunch room, where he had just sold the
proprietor dozen fat frogs. They were
neatly strung along a stick, and one man
at first took them for reed birds. Il
caught these down in the Neck" said the
boy, ''and it amt no fun either. going
into ditch after them with net"
''What do you charge for them?'
''Well, for nice, big ones, [ can get
sixty cents dozen, answered the youth.
A German woman from some place
''down in Jersey" peddles frogs, too.
She is talkative enough, except when
inquisitive folks try to find out just
where the festive froggy can be found.
Then she shrewdly scents a possible
competitor, and thereafter remains as
mute as the proverbial oyster.
The usual way to cook bull frogs, or
cow frogs, as the boys call them, is, ac-
cording to certain gastronomic authori-
ties, simple thing. Roll the frogs in
cracker dust and then fry them as you
would an oyster. One gentleman of
pronounced epicurean tastes says that if
the flavor of the succulent dainty is de-
sired, it should simply be fried in butter.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Fire was discov-
cred shortly before o'clock this morning

Roman Catholic orphans asylum on Fifth
avenue. opposite the Vanderbilt mansion.
There are Ala orphan boys, between the
ages of 5 and IL years old, in the asylum
under the charge of twenty-six Sisters of
Charity. The children had just finished
their breakfast and had just taken their
seats in the several class rooms when the
superioress, Mother Mary Martin, learned
of the outbreak of the fire. She at once
sounded the alarm used in the fire drill in
the asylum and, aided by tie other sisters.
marshalled all the children in orderly
style from all the class rooms down to the
Madison street entrance, where they were
in perfect safety. The children knew
nothing of the presence of fire in the
building until they had left and heard the
clang of fire engines hurrying to the
asylum. The fire was soon put out; dam

INEERNAl INGENUITY

Could scarcely devise more excruciating
tortures than those Of which you see the
evidences in the face of rheumatic or
neuralgia sufferer. The agonies are the
consequence of not checking rheumatic
or neuralgic attack at the outset. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has been found by
skillful medical practitioners to possess
not only remedial bat defensive efficacy,
where those diseases exist, or a tendency
to them is exhibited. Surely this puissant
but safe botanic medicine, bearing, too,
such high specific sanction, is better than
the poisons often employed but most un-
safe, not only IN continuance, but IN iso-
lated doses. The blood is depurated thor
ougbly from the rheumatic virus, and the
nerves, slightly impurged upon, saved from
ultimate ana direful throes by this benign,
saving medicine, which likewise exhibits
marked efficacy for malaria, kidney COM
plants, dyspepsia. constipation and liver

PLEADED GUILTY.
Bribery of the Cronin Jury Acknowledged
Investigating the Facts.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 12.-When the case of
the men indicted for attempting to bribe
the Cronin jury WAS called this morning
before Judge Wathen, the four remaining
defendants plead guilty. The court called
them up and told them to what they were
liable in case he enforced the full penalty
of the law, but that he would have to have
evidence to determine what mitigating or
aggrayatIng circumstances there were. A
panel of veniremen was accordingly called
into the box and the work of selecting
jury begun. Probably some interest in the
case has generally lessened since the flight
of Graham, who is supposed to have been
near the head of the conspiracy 10 corrupt

Fashions in Diamonds.

Diamonds-fine diamonds especially
are as fashionable as ever. Jewels COM
posed of clustered diamonds of different
sizes are losing ground in general esti-
nation. They are now considered as in
effective at distance, pretty as they
may appear on close inspection. The
new idea is to set the stones in rows, so
they constitute geometric, or at least
conventional, designs, which exhibit the
diamonds to the best advantage, show
off from afar as well as near. The reader
need not be told that far more care and
careful manipulation is necessary to
create jewel of this description. The
stones must be matched in size and color,
as the slightest variation is Immediately
noticeable, whereas in the clustered ar
rangement diamonds of all sorts and
shapes may be crowded together with
more or less artistic effect.
