Whence Came the Frogs?

During a thunderstorm in New
Jersey recently it "rained frogs" to
such an extent that, according to the
testimony of multitudinous witnesses,
the streets of Port Norris were alive
with hundreds of these creatures.
Here's state of things which the
Boston Globe says science can no more
explain to-day than it could 200 years
ago.
1t is still said, of course, that the
frogs were sucked up in marshes and
carried into the clouds, but no human
being ever yet saw frog thus taken
up, and it is odd that nothing is ever
raised to eminence" in this way ex-
cept the frog, though plenty of other
living things may be near by all ready
to be sucked up.
A good many observers hold to the
curious and interesting opinion that
under certain very rare electrical con.
ditions life seems generated spontane-
ously. The frog is peculiarly cleo
trical creature, and. in fact, first sug-
gested the existence of animal magne.
tism as distinct force to science. Ii
any animal could be thus suddenly and
strangely called into being it might
we'll be the frog.
Now that the university extension
professors are about setting 70 work
teaching the people science, it would
be interesting to hear them explain
mysteries such as the descent of frogs,
which has been the talk of Port Morris
and all the region round about.

THE BABY KING OF ROME.

Napoleon said at ST. Helena, "M,sie
Louise had short reign. but she must
have enjoyed it, the world was at her
feet" And the proudest moment of
her brief sovereignty was when the
little son was born.
Surely no infant ever had so bright
a golden spoon in its mouth. What a
beginning for fairy-story!-"There
young prince. His father was an en-
peror and a king, his mother an en-
press, the daughter of an emperor, and
was likewise queen and an archduch-
ess. His grandfather was an emperor,
his uncles and aunts were kings and
queens, and he himself was prince
imperial and king even before he
could speak,"
What fortune will the seers predict
for the child? His father was sure
that Prince Imperial was too petty a
title for this heir of Europe and the
glory of its conqueror. No modern
title was grand enough, and they wont
back to the days of the world-rulers-
the Roman Caesars. The heir to their
throne had been known as King of
Rome" and in default of greater title,
the little Napoleon was so called.
The birth of this tiny monarch has
been described as "the last smile of
Fortune upon him who had seemed
her favorite child" But though the
course of Napoleon's career had reach
ed its highest point, and was thence
forth downward, the descent was at
first gradual and hardly apparent. The
father and mother were overjoyed and
full of pride in the beautiful boy.
Though SO great a parsonage, the En-
press wrote to the grandfather just as
humber mother would have done

Emperor The child's surroundings
were the most exquisite the world
could furnish. He was baptized in
the chapel of the Tuileries, from a gold

and courtiers who blazed in colors and
jewels. Imagine the presents heaped
upon this little fellow, to whom any
thing less than duke was a poor re-
lation! His cradle was of costly ma

imperial eagle was perched ready to

proved.
His baby-carriage was drawn by
lambs as white as Mary's own; while.
for fear they should skip and play and
spill his precious majesty upon the
soil of his future empire, gorgeous
official kept a firm hand on the reins,
and the grandest of nursemaids walked
ever by this royal chariot. But if the
baby crowed and smiled, no doubt it
was at the birds and flowers and sun
shine. which were no more his king
dom than they are the domain of every
child that breathes.
When he tired of his coach. the
bravest Veterans of the Guard sought
the privilege of dandling the son of

had become an Emperor. No cross or

She was beautiful girl, upon whose
lustrous curls twenty summers had laid
their roses in showers of color and
fragrance and upon whose fair shoul-

Relative Expense.

A certain minister, not 1000 miles
from here, loves dollar with a close
affection, says the Detroit Free Press.
Not long ago young man asked hirl
how much he would charge to marry a
couple.
"Well, said the preacher, 1.-The groom
pays what he pleases, but never charge
less than $40. /"
"Whew!" exclaimed the prospective
groom, that's good lot of money. L
thought that kind of work went in with
your regular salary"
"Oh, no." explained the minister,
salvation is free, but it costs money to
get married"

vile when the place was yet new and
he had sold his claim for $4,000.
AS he was hurrying along an old
woman who was sitting by the road
side hailed him.
"Gentlefolks out walking to-day? ?"
she said, holding out her hand for q
penny.
"Gentlefolks9" he cried, with happy
laugh. "Why, Gurid, | am Ola. who
used to herd cattle at Oestrud's
dairy"
"You Ola, who was on the parish?
Then you must have changed your
skin"
"That was what / went to America
for" he answered, laughing.
The church lay halfway up the hill
side. There Ola sat down to rest, for
he had walked far and was tired.
Presently he heard music up under the
ledge of the forest; there was one clar-
met and several tiddles.
A bridal party! Yes, there was the
| bride, with silver crown upon her
head and shining brooches upon her
bosom.
The procession came nearer. Now
the master of the ceremonies opened
the church doors wide and went to
meet the bride and groom.
Ola sat still as rock, but strange
| numbness came over him. AS the
party drew near to the gate of the
churchyard he arose and stood tall and
grave. in the middle of the road.
Then came Birgit Oestrud and Thor
ger Sletten. She looked pale and sad,
he defiant.
"You didn't expect me to your we'd
ding, Birgit Oestrud?" he said, and
stared hard at her. She gave a scream;
the crown fell from her head; she
rushed forward and flung her arms
about mis- neck.
"Now come" he cried, "who ever
dare, and I'll make a merry bridal"
Jens Oestrud stepped forward and
spoke. His voice shook with wrath
and the geins swelled upon his brow.
"Here am" he said. "If you want
the girl yon shall fight for her."
Not with you, old man." retorted
Ola, "but with Thorger III fight. Let
him come forward"
The bridal guests made ring on
the green and the bridegroom came
slowly forward.
Hard luck" he said, "to have to
fight for your bride on your wedding
day"
Fight? Bi'git, wkc in her happiness
had been blind and deaf, woke up with
start. She unwound her arms from
Ola's neck aud stepped up between the
| two men.
"Oh, do rot fight, do not fight" she
entreated, holding out her hands first
to one claimant and then to the other.
"You know, father, for whom have
waited for these five years. You know
whom have loved since / was child.
But you used force against me and
threats. Now he has come back.
am no longer afraid of you"
whoever will he my wedding guest
'et him follow"' shouted Ola, "for ]
have in my hand royal license
to marry Birgit, Jens Oestrud's
daughter"
"All that money can buy you shall
have" he added. "I'll make wedding
the fame of which shall be heard in
seven parishes around"
He took his brides arm and marched
boldly into the church.
The wedding folks looked at Jens
Oestrud, who was venting his wrath
upon the groom
"You coward!" he yelled, "you let
the girl be snatched away before your
very nose. am glad enough to be
rid of such son-in-law. Come, folks,
Well have our wedding yet. A girl
belongs to him who can catch her."
With wrathful snort he stalked in
through the open church door and the
wedding guests slowly followed. .-Bos-
