Some time ago discovered accidental
ly that frogs are voracious eaters Of
wasps. Ihave in my garden a tank for
watering, with an island of rockwork,
which is a favorite haunt Of the frogs.
The wasps just now are carrying on Il
raid against my fruit, and when | wish
to crafty mt once my revenge and my
frogs | catch marauder between apost
card and an inverted wine glass, carry
him off TO the tank, wet his wings TO pre-
vent his flying, and set him on the rock
work before inc frogs.
After q moments pause frog ad-
vances. and in an instant the wasp has
disappeared, drawn into the frogs mouth
by n single dart Of his long tongue. Oc-
casionally tho wasp reappears, wholly or
partially, having made it unpleasant for
tho frog, but he is almost always swal-
lowed in tho end. Usually convulsve
movements may be noticed in the frogs
throat and body, as though tho process
OF deglutition were not quite easy, but
that they like the dict is evident from
the fact that single smallish frog has
been known to take three wasps, one aft
er another.
Indeed it is remarkable what very
small frogs, quite infants, will swallow
Il wasp with avidity. This afternoon n
tiny frog swallowed full grown wasp,
when big relative went for him quite
sayagely, like big schoolboy thrashing
u small one for presuming to be helped
before him.-R. Il. Bartlett in London

Dickens Children.

venture to think that such child as
David Copperfield is rare. The majority
are made of more commonplace material
They would know better how to get OH
with Mr.. and Miss Murdstone. Very few
boys-nowadays at any rate-would, even
at eight or nine years Of age, be quite so
easily imposed on by waiter as to allow
him to eat their dinner without uttering a
word of protest. am very doubtful, too,
whether many boys would have been quite
80 loverlike to Little Emily and have
found such intense delight in Mr.. Peg
otty's wonderful house by the sea at Var
mouth.
Still, one feels that David is real and
from first to last consistent with himself,

said for all Dickens Characterization Peg

A PROSPEROUS EXILE
HOW "eOSs" SHEPHERD HAS MADE 4
FORTUNE IN MEXICO.

Driven From Home, He Struck BONANZA
In chihuahua, Where He Rules Like a
King-A Career of Romantic vicissitudes
and Remarkable Successes.
The world has heard but little of late Of
the man who 20 years ago was alternately
famous and infamous as the beautifier and
the boss Of the Capital City of the nation,
Alexander r. Shepherd, formerly governo,
Of the District of Columbia. Yet the career
Of this American Baron Haussmann subse-
quent to his downfall has been as full Of
romantic vicissitudes as Haggard novel,
and now he is "boss" again, in something
more than the political sense, and rules
with despotic sway over little city of his
own, which he has built to protect some
fabulously rich silver mines near Batopilas,
in the canyon of Ell Fuerte river, amid the
mountain Businesses of the Sierra Madre in
the southwestern corner of the state of Chi
huahua, Mexico.
Practically an exile from his native land,
almost fiat broke" Shepherd with Won
derful luck found his way to Batopilas
just after one of the regularly recurrent
revolutions on which so many MeXicans de-
pend for fame and fortune. An American
citizen owned mine there which had been
seized by the revolutionists and held for
several months. They were finally driven
out by the government troops, but left the
mine in chaotic condition, the works de-
stroyed and the owner on the verge of bank
ruptcy.
This was Shepherds opportunity, and he
seized it with avidity. He made con-
tract to buy the mine for the sum of $780,

Hair Restrained by Law,

Centuries ago for some reason it was
thought necessary to introduce kind Of
sumptuary law with respect to the length
OF garments and the length of the hair.
Men were forbidden to wear their hair on
their shoulders and women to wear the
long plaits hanging loose. 1t was a mark
Of distinction for maidens to wear long
hair, only the slaveborn having it cut
short; so it is not likely that women Of free
birth were induced by any edicts to cut
their hair loose, but only to confine it
within reasonable bounds. Our forbears
must have been better provided with
natures head covering than we are. There
Is, alasl little occasion now for restraining
the abundance of women's locks.-Notes
and Queries,

Wire rs n strengthener.

The method of strengthening copper
steam pipes by means Of coiled metal
wire has been quite generally adopted
in the Italian navy. The practice is to
serve the tubes with one or two layers
OF wire wound under tension. The
method is not considered applicable to
other than straight tubes. The wire is
OF sufficient strength to carry the full
load OF steam. and the tension used in
winding is about II tons persquareinch.
The wireis put on in two or three inde-
pendent spirals, and the ends Of each
are independently fastened to the fanges.

BESIDE THE eAY OF MONTEREY.

Beside the bay Of Monterey,
When morn Is ON he mountains,
What JOY TO hear and know not fear,

The sea fog, tlhnly drifting,
The land reveals or shore conceals,
Soft scenes, like magic, shifting.
Beside the bay Of Monterey
How sweet 10 walk at even,
When softened dyes from sunset skies
Steal up the sapphire heavenl
Along the reach Of rocky beach
Oh, Joy II Is TO follow,
Where blooms tho sea anemone
In every wayeworn hollow.
On giant rock that fronts the shock
The spray wet grasses glisten.
Where breaks the wave on cliff and cave
The flowers bend and listen.

And all lifo's stormy weather,

You hear them but In dreams.
For you have slept now many day
Upon the shore Of Monterey.

Yesterday morning the discovery was
made that about 200 feet of Darrow-gauge

sunk out of sight in the quicksands, aided
by the action of the water on the sloughs
which run along the line. The sink is
about half mile east of the trestle which
spans the san LeandrO Bay.
