Enormous Frogs.

Frogs are enormously plentiful in Aus

annoyed by them in the houses at sheep
ranches, where mot only on the floor,
but even in the water jar, the batrachians
crooked merriy and often so loudly as
to interfere with conversation" There
is one species of frog, very big, which
buries itself during the dry season in the
ground. Frogs of this kind contain
Amuch water, a fact known to the natives,
Who dig them up in the dry season and
oNench their thirst by squeezing
thu water out of them. The white peo
nle sometimes resort to these frogs for
water'> They know the little mounds, re-
semblrpg mole hills, under which the
frogs 'lie> hid, and dig them out. Ac.

about o wkneglassful of clear, sweet

The Fish Industry.

| Everybody knows that fishing is one of
the important industries oftQwns on the
coast, but it is question if any >ene has
q definite idea of what a Doubtful
mother the sea is to us. The Dominion
of Canada is particularly noted for its
great fisheries, and the value of the fish
drawn from the waters on its coast In one
year is about $12,000O0) This does
not include fish taken from the waters of
British Columbia, Manitoba OF the North
west. If these be added nearly $50, 600, :
900 will lie the total. Another SEQ
600, COO will represent the trade done in
this country. In these figures the yields
from allbranchcs of fisheries are given.
Splitting it up into items the largest
we have is the cod, the yearly yield being
about Sc, 000,000 Nova Scotia alone Sc.
cures $2,j00,000 of this and 81, 500, 900
worth of mackerel. The cod is as far
ahead of mackerel as that fish is ahead
of all the others.
The cod is an inhabitant of the tenn
peTatc zone. He is found in great abund-
ancc off the Cape Of Good Hope, where
he nibbles freely at the baited hook
dropped from the sides of ships by sail
ors becalmed on their way home from
the East Indies. He also exists in
Australian waters, but his chief homes
are the Banks Of Cape Breton shore and
some portions of the Bay of Fundy. He
is not particular about the bottom.
His chief care is to allay the cravings
of capacious stomach, which is ready to
accommodate itself to anything that turns
up without much discrimination. He
lies close to the bottom usually, awaiting
his prey, his dark back and sides scarce
ly discernible from the surrounding
rocks, and darts like flash upon any Of
the smaller fry that are so unfortunate as
to come within his reach If herring and
similar fish be scarce he searches among
the stones for crabs, CLANS or other she'll
fish, New York Advertiser.

scribes in the Odyssey as blowing soft
from the ocean upon those tabled islands
where winter is not, nor any burning
summer heat. 1t is also noticed by
Longfellow as descending upon the coast

Mr.. Gladstone at Home.

When relieved from the affairs of state
Mr.. Gladstone finds no pleasure so great
as his home life at Hawarden. There
his family are gathered together, and the
great man romps and plays with his
grandchildren as though he never knew
what it was to be blamed for everything
that went wrong in all Great Britain and
her colonies. Mr.. Gladstone is a wonder
full scholar, a busy writer and speaker,
but the little Gladstone children know

stone, however, is an expert woodsman,
and though he doesn't destroy valuable
cherry trees, he goes out with his
axe and takes the keenest pleasure in
telling trees in Hawarden Park. A visi
tor to the castle one day noticed an axe
behind the door in the great hall, where
it had been left by the statesman after
one of his chopping expeditions. A curl

SUNDAY ON A MAN-O'-WAR.
Inspection and General Muster the
Bane of Sailors Existence.

To the average American bluejackc
the function known as Sunday inspection
and general muster is a specimen 0
elaborate nonsense that overtops al
others. On board commissioned man
of-war it takes place fiftytwo times 1
year. and takes precedence over every
thing else short of shipwreck, fire, OF
some other disaster. The preparations
that are made for it would lead an OBJ
server who is not familiar with the ways
of war vessels to think that it was sor
of state affair that happened once in {
hundred years. They are begun Friday
night, when grease spots and stains on
the deck are coated with lime to render
them more susceptible to the influence
of the holystone.
Saturday morning all hands are called
at early daylight and set to scrubbing
and holystoning the decks. When the
| decks are white and clean, other wood
work, together with ladders, ramrods
handspikes, ETC., is attacked and scrub
bed into an immaculate whiteness. AT.
ter breakfast attention is given to the
brasswork of the deck and battery, and
both are polished until they are as bright
as cleaning gear can make them.
The day is generally occupied in touch
ing up spots with fresh paint where the
old has been worn off, and coating ca
bles, bits, and ringbolts with coal tar.
With the exception of the holystoning
the decks, the same performance is gone
through with Sunday morning. After
breakfast the crew array themselves in
their best suits of mastering clothes, the
marines put an extra coat of pipe clay on
their helmets a 4 belts, and everybody
hides everything that belongs to him
somewhere out of sight. Woe betide
the luckless person who leaves any part
of his property lying around. 1t is
promptly confscated by the sailors nat
ural enemy, the master at arms, and the
owner is reported for the offence.
Finally the bugle sounds the call for
inspection, and the crew muster in the
parts of the ship where they belong. The
commanding officer emerges from his
cabin and, accompanied by his tirsh
lieutenant and the officers of the dcckk
starts on tour of inspection, VIII; ii
generally lasts about an hour. Quar-
tcrs" and general muster" follow. Jhe
''Articles of War" which every one
among the crew generally knows by rote,
are read by the executive officer. The
reading takes half an hour or so, and
when it is concluded such general orders
as may have been issued by the Navy
Department since the last muster are
read The Paymaster next take the
crew iE hand and calls the name of every
person attached to the ship, who answers
with his Snane and rank. The entire
forenoon il occupied with these various
matters. and the result is that Sunday
to the man n-&warsman is day of pen
ance instead 6f day or rest.

The State Of Mississippi has cause to
be gloriously happy, writes John Hab-
berton in Once A Week, for arrangements
have been made, through a railway
company, to bring over $4,000 Germans
to the valley Of the Yazoo-a great tract
of the richest soil in the world, though
sadly in need of systematic dyking and
drainage. Perhaps other Southern
States will take the hint aud hire trans.
portatlon companies to do what the
States themselves seem unable to do
attract great bodies of agriculturists
from Europe. The result would be the
cultivation of land at present waste and
idle. All classes of enigrants have
quite as large families as the native col.
ored population; besides they attract
their own kind in great numbers.

French Frugality.

The French people are noted for their
frugality and their systematic saving OF
money. 1t was from the remarkable
accumuations of the mass of the citizens
chiefly that the French Government de
rived the means to pay off the enormous
German war indemnity and that the great
sums squand1red on the Panama Canal
were taken. Although the savings of
the French are very great. they do not
compare in proportion to the population
with those of Massachusetts. France has
enjoyed condition of peace and pros
perity since the year 1871, yet the sums
deposited in the savings banks, municipal
and national in 1891, amounted to only
1000, 900. In Massachusetts, IN 1872,
the amount deposited in savings banks
was 1928, 544, O76, while there was Sl4,-
$40. 275 additional held by cooperative
ban ks. The population of France is be-
tween 80, OOO,oo0 and $4,000, 900, while
that of Massachusetts, is only about
2, 100000. These figures present very
striking contrast as to the prosperity OF
the two countries. -- Boston Journal.
