THE HARRISON CONTRAST.
In 1889 President Harrison came in with

acts which that Congress undertook to
pass was the disability bill. Twice the
Democrats defeated it's passage in the

Master From Is One Of the Won;

When Born, He Weighed Nine Ounces ana
Is Likely to Maintain His Record
The Eighteenth Child in
the Family.

New Orleans has had the honor of
irving birth to a wonderful infant.
Young Master From, of that city, if he
ives and keeps his health for the next
yix weeks, before which time every
body knows you dassent tote baby
lround much, will be the smallest and
lightest weight wage-earner n this
whole southern country, if not in the
whole world. For when Master Form
was born into these low grounds he

All ba bies are supposed TO weigh an
even ten pounds at birth. As a matter
Of fact, comparatively few are as heavy
Is that. Seven pounds is nearer the
average, but a fve-pound baby is very
small child, indeed, so it is easy to see
how very badly the record is broken by
goung Master From. Yet it is not to
be thought that he is defective or mis-
shapen, or in any way lacking in what
should be the proper characteristics of
baby, save in the mere matter of
weight. He is red, which is a good
color for baby, and he has the same
preposterous strength in the grip of
his hands and toes that all healthy
babies have, trait inherited from the
times when their mammas lived in the
tops of trees and had to swing from
branch to branch. In those days
babies had to hang on to their mothers
back hair with their hands and with
their toes, for the feet of the newly
born are very like hands. The big toe

FACTS ABOUT FROGS.
There Are Many Varieties, But the Flying
Kind Is the Rerest.


Kind Is the Rsrest.
The common frog is divided into
classes, such as the spring, marsh, shad,
wood and crying frogs.
The spring frog has green shoulders
and dusky spots, and is common from
Maine to Georgia.
The marsh frog Is pale brown, with
rows of dark brown spots on its sides
and back. IL is favorite bait for the
capture Of pike.
The shad frog is one of the hand
soonest Of the species, green above,
with spots of brown margined with
yellow. 1t is also called the water or
leopard frog.
The wood frog Is pale reddish brown
on the back, which changes to yellow
ish white on the breast. 1t is a native
Of the dense woods from Michigan to
the Carolinas, and does not live in the
water.
The crying frog is small, fragile
little reptile of a pale olive color. 1t

be about the size of one of these littls
coin purses, but it soons gets empty
and then he fights with his toy hands
and wrinkles up his old face and lets
out thin, rubber cry and applies to
the maternal fount. Mrs. From says
he is a mighty smart boy and knows
more than folks think for, in spite of
the fact that the doctors say the only
thing q baby feels during the first
four weeks is hunger. This appetite
of his has added to his weight good
deal since September 6, but still he is
probably the smallest baby ever heard
of
AS he lies in his mothers lap he is
about as big as the bulk of her two
hands. His body is l6 inches long and
q little more than 3 inches wide. His
foot Is 2H inches long. His head at
the largest girth measures II inches.
That would make it not quite inches
in diameter, and a baby's head should
be as thick as its body. The great adj
vantage of this kind of baby is that it
doesn't drag the life out of the mother
carrying it around and it is just as
healtny as Dig child
Mrs. From has had experience with
babies. This is her eighteenth, and
she has borne twins and triplets. Five
of her children were small and they
have all lived. Many of the big ones
have died. The oldest son, Frank, is
eighteen years old and is about the
size of boy of six. He is known as the
smallest athlete in the world. He
travels with Harris circus. and his
name is Frank Harris. He is as active
and nimble as can be and as healthy "a
the statutes permit. He weighs forty
six pounds.
His brother George is fourteen year.
old. and is a little over three feet in
height.
Frank is the mothers pet. When he
was born there was great to do about
him. Mr.. From was then driving car
in New York city on the belt line, and
lived up in Lawrence street near One
Hundred and Twenty-seventh. Frank
weighed less than pound, and the
whole town was agog about him Mrs.
From saws that the Presbyterian church
in Poughkeepsie was deeply in debt,
and the ladies of the church gave fair
TO try to clear off part of ii. y COM
mittee came down 10 see Mrs. From,
and asked her if she would exhibit the
child at the fair. 1t was pretty risky
thing 20 do with such little fellow,
hut she consented. and the fair was a
tremendous success. The debt was all
paid, and, after deducting all expenses,
the church was ahead $500. Presum-
ably the ladies said: Thank you" to
Mrs. From and the baby.
Mrs. From is fine looking woman,

Is southern species, taking the place
of the spring frog Of the north.
The painted frog-so called from its
Temarka BILE mixture of colors-is ma
tive of Greece, Sicily, Scandinavia and
Egyptian countries. 1t is a peculiar
su;phur-colored green or olive. Some
have a fine, smooth skin, while others
are rough-coated.
The flying frog IS not edible, and Is
o very rare species. 1t Is native OF
the tropics. Its apparatus for aerial
navigation consists of fourteen men,
br.nes, distributed between its long
toes, which enable it to take flying
leaps at the rate of ten yards a second.
It's colors are beautiful, being either
green, yellow or violet, and its bright
eyes pierce the foliage like a star. ID

Elephants In Africa.
The elephant of Africa is still a toll,
ora bly, abundant animal. Its numbers,
though doubtless diminished by more
than one-half within this century, are
probably to be counted by the hundred
thousand. Nevertheless, in less than
a hundred years the field which is
occupied has been greatly reduced,
and between the ivory hunter and the
sportsman, armed with guns of ever
increasing deadliness, it will certainly
not require another century of free
shooting to annihilate the African
