How a Snake swallows a Frog.

The method of swallowing is a very
simple one, although, il the frog be
large, more than half an hour may be
consumed In the process. The two
bones of the lower jaw are separate and
capable Of Independent movement; so
the reptile loosens it hold upon one side
of its jaw, and, pushing that side for
ward as far as possible, 1t drives the
teeth In again, aud then draws the jaw
back to its original position. The re-
suit is that the prey is drawn down by
the movement. The process Is then re-
peated by the other half of the jaw, thus
inevitably forcing the victim inward.
The snakes skin stretches enormously,
and the jaw is, of course, dislocated,
but the extensiblo ligameuts hold the
bones together. The disproportlon be-
tween the diameter Of the frog and the
serpent's slender neck is indeed marvel
Gus, and snakes have been observed to
split themselves open by attempting too
ambitious q mouthful. After perhaps
half an hour of laborious contortions,
all that isseen Of the poor frog is a great
swelling that the contracting muscles
are rapidly forcing down the reptiles
neck. II ONE liberates the captured frog
before it is too late, the wretched animal
often seems so overcome by fear, or per-
haps stupefied by the serpent's saliva,
that it will not leap, bit crawls in a
painful manner. We must not allow
ourselves to be duped into a mistaken
sympathy, however, for such is the
poetic justice of the case. Large frogs
esteem small snakes a particular delicacy.

Why They Are Speckled.

Charley Wilcox was in the burg the
other day exercising his team of speckled
colts. The way the animals happened
to be speckled happened in this way:
While their mother was at Hat Creek
drinking, one day, she was seized by
the lip by a trout weighing at least
twenty pounds. The fish had to be
killed with an ak before it would release
its hold and when the twin colts were
born they were speckled like trout.
They are an extra fine team and are
peculiarly fcnd of water. -Burney Valley

Horsehpsh For Food.

In Europe, where the horse is every
year more used as human food, the ami
mails are not allowed to become a mass of
skin and jagged bones, as old horses Of
ten do here. They are fattened, and
even an old horse can be made quite fat
if given succulent food mixed with
ground grain. 1t is no more difficult to
tatten an old horse than it is to fatten an
cid cow.-Boston Cultivator.

LAND PLASTER FOR STABLES.

Professor Dean, Of the Ontario Agri-
cultural College, says on the subject of
land plaster in stables; ave use con-
stantly on our floors a liberal quantity of
land plaster or gypsum, which has three
effects: ~ 1t fixes the ammonia aud
makes the manure more valuable. (2)
1t sweetens tho stable, absorbing bad
odors. (3) 1t gives the stable a better
appearance and looks neat and tidy. In
fact, an hour after our cows are turned
out you would scarcely know that a COW
had been in. This is accomplished by a
liberal use of plaster ard w~bitewash.
Both are cheap"

Tonight and Close Their Engage

There is an old German saying,

words, do not NEEDLE with things that
DO not concern you. and you will be
Obeyng the great American precept:
Mind your own business. The German
text at the head of this article is the
subject chosen by the BoIlman company
for presentation at the Metropolitan
this evening. 1t is what might be
termed an ensemble comedy, giving the
sway, and will probably be one of the
finest farces presented during the entire
engagement. The occasion is a teSti-
mOnial benefit to Helene Collmer, who
has been hard and earnest worker in
the ranks of German dramatic art in st.
Paul.
The Sunday evening performance will
be followed by the farewell entertain
nent of the Bollman aggregation Tues
day evening, June 6, when three neat
and elegant farces will be presented.
The first of these will be Der Gesang-
vogel," or 1.-The Singing Bird" which is
n beautiful story of an Englishman who
is seeking recreation on tbs banks OF
Rhine, and underneath his pleasant
summer quarters is located young
maiden who sings at her work in the
garden all day. 1t disturbs the rest of
the English gentleman. and he offers
the maiden money to cease joyous dem
onstrations, which she accepts, and the
conditions also. The little gardener
has lover, who, upon being apprlsed
of these facts, sees in it a means of
securing money from the seeker
after quietude, and proceeds to
join her in her daily warblings.
The price of silence is more
money, and the English gent sees ruin
staring him in the face il he complies
with the request, so he proceeds to use
strategy. He creates a jealousy be-
tween the lovers, and thus puts an end
to both their musical Wbims. He en-
joys the success of his plans for only a

misery he has wrought, his heart re-

CHASE INDICTED.
True Bill Said to Have Been Found
Against Indiana's Preacher
Ex-Governor.
He and Others Founded a Bank
Without a Dollar of
Money.

KoKoMo. Ind, June 3.-The grand
Jury investigating the Greentown bank
failure will not report before Tuesday
morning, but the evening paper here
announces with much positlveness that
indictments have been found against
ex-Gov. Chase, JohnW. Paris and Cashier
Walden. 1t was shown by the testimony
of Cashier Walden that the organizers of
the bank never put a dollar into it.
Even the fixtures were paid for by the
depositors. and. were the Paris paper
and the Chicago Gold Mining paper
good, the bank would still be insolvent.
He contradicted Chase in ole i'm
portant particular. The eX-gov-
ernor said he knew nothing OF the
business of the bank, and did not know
that the Chicago Gold Mining note
bearing his signature had been depos-
tied. Walden said that he showed him
these notes, together with the Paris
note, for $1,000. Walden made clean
breast of everything, and gave much
damaging testimony. The Russiaville
bank failure also came up for in
vestigation and it is said that an in
dictment has been found against Zlmri
Dwiggins. But this is probably through
his connection with the Greentown
bank. The Greentown firm was COM
posed of z. Dwiggins, John W. Paris,
Ira J. Chase. Lewis S. Walden and Il.
w. Miles. 1t is believed that Miles
alone has escaped.

"PIOUE" TONIGHT.
An Exceptionally Fine Company
to Produce 1t.

AhO OONRsD
to Produce 1t.
Tonight Jacob Lifts Players enter
upon the first of their ten consecutive
weeks season at the Grand. The play
selected for the present week is Angus
tin Days "Pique," which has record
of being most pronounced success.and
is, without doubt, one of Mr.. Days
greatest efforts. 1t is strong in its heart
interest, has story well connected and
coherent. abounds in the most telling
dramatic situations, and above all has
series of characters that will afford Mr..
Lifts most capable artists rich oppor-
tunity 10 appear at their best. Mr.. Lift
has had prepared all of the stage Access
sories, scenery and properties from the
original sketches and models used by
Mr.. DAILY when he put this play on for
Its lengthy and successful run in New
York, so that 1t will be seen with the
same perfectness of detail in every way
that characterized Mr.. Daly's produc-
ton of it.
The greatest interest in the presenta-
ton of "Pique," however, will be to
see the people in the cast. and it is in
this particular that Mr.. Lift has been
more than happy in his selection. Car

leading American actress in characters
known as leading roles, is to make her
first appearance. Miss Turner is a

company; Belle Archer, who is
new to the city, but who is both artistic
in her work and of handsome face and
figure, will also be seen for the first
time. The three ladies named, in addi-
ton to being young, talented and beau
tiful, are noted for their exquisite stage
dressing. Mrs. w. G. Jones, one of the
best "old women" on Our stage, makes
her first appearance in the cast OF
"PiQue."
OF the men who will be seen for the
first time, there are j. H. Gilmour, the
leading man, who is not only hand
some man, but has fine voice, an eX-
cellent stage presence, and, above all, is
very clever actor. Charles 3. WelleS
and Stephen Grattan are both strong adj
ditions to Mr.. Lifts company. In addi-
ton to those above named, Bettina
Gerard, George R. Edeson, Horace
Lewis. George Fawcett, G. w. Swain,
Ray Goldman and Edith Wright will
also be seen, and with the characters Of
Mr.. Days play distributed among this
list of people the result cannot but be
a happy one, and it is safe to predict
that never before in the history OF
theatrical affairs in this city has COM
papy of so much intrinsic merit been
seen. and tue efforts of Mr.. Lift to give
the public such finished performances
should meet with such response that
the capacity of his theater will be tested
to its utmost.

A SPLENDID RECORD.
Two Years of Metropolitan Sue
cess The WiIburs,

The peoples popular playhouse, the

which was done in August, 1891, in
order to complete the decorations of the
theater that were left undone on ac-
count of the hurry to get it in prepare
ton for the opening on December 20,
1890. This is certainly remarkable
record, and during this time the Metro
politan has furnished the theater-gOerS
of this city With all the first-class at
fractions that have been played in
America. The management of this
theater recognizes the fact that the
public of st. Paul want nothing but the
best in both music and drama, and have
been untiring in their efforts to secure
the most brilliant attractions at all
times. That this has been accomplished
is proven by the uniform good business
that the Metropolitan opera house has
been favored with throughout the two
years and a half of its existence.
The policy of the theater has been to
give light opera at cheap prices through
the summer months, and the third an
nual summer opera season at this the
alter will begin next Thursday evening.
The season will comprise eleven weeks,
and all the popular light opera works
will be presented this summer. The
famous and popular Wilbur Opera COM
pany have been engaged for this sum-
mer. The company will arrive on their
own special train next Thursday morn
ing, and open on the evening of that
day. The first opera to be presented for
three nights and Saturday matinee will
be "The Two Vagabonds," or Ger
minie." The second operate be given
for one week, beginning Sunday, June
IL, is Won Suppe's popular musical
work, "Boccaccio."
The Wilbur company numbers sew

this season, and includes the following
well-knOwn operate principals: Miss

Miss Lille Taylor. Miss Eloise Morti
mer, Miss Lille Maynard, Miss Hattie

and Gus Vaughan. The usual WedneS-
day and Saturday matinees will be
given throughout the summer. The
prices for the the evenings will be ID, 20.
and 80 cents, and the matineeS 10 and 20
cents. The management intend to make
a feature of the boxes for the engage
ment this summer, and have placed
remarkably low figure on them i'll order
to give all the people. both young and
old, an opportunity to entertain their
friends with theater parties. The prices
for the boxes for the evenings will be
