 Rod Hair as Frog Bait.


 Asa Rifenbary, who has the pony and goat privilege at Midway park, near Goshen, N. Y, has a redhaired boy in his employ. One day recently, when there was nobody at the park to hire goats or ponies, the hoy obtained permission to take boat ride ill the Walkill. When he returned his boat was half filled with frogs, and they were all alive.
 How did you catch them?" asked Ri fenbary.
 1T did not catch them, . replied the boy. "They just jumped in the boat and sat there blinking at me. At first l was scared, but I found ont they would not hurt me, so l let lem come until l thought I had as many as the boat would carry and I'd better come in. ;
 The frogs were placed in the basin near the maze, and Rifenbary, seeing Q fortune in frogs sSddles awaiting him, took turn ill the boat himself, but re- turned without a frog. Then he took the boy out with him, and the frogs be- gan to leap into the boat, and large number were captured.
 Mr. Rifenbary was at loss to account for the attraction of the frogs for the boat when the boy was in it and ap- pealed to the park force for an explana- tion, but did not get it until he came to Lewis Roth, who replied: That's easy. That boy has red hair. Frogs are always attracted by red. ' Now, when the ponies and goats are idle, the boy goes out in the boat and lures frogs into it. Rifenbary now does good business in supplying the market with frog sad dles. New York Herald.

Italians VIII Re,oiee.

The Italians throughout this country and
especially in Washington, will celebrate to-
morrow, with much pomp and cerem ony
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the unifica-
ton OF the Italian states. There will be
music and marching and speeches and
feasting, and every heart will beat with
affection for the sunny cline across the
seas. Probably the political significance of
the events that are celebrated will not be
understood in their entirety by ten in a
hundred of the glad throngs who will join
In the parade and cheer its progress. But
they will DE enthusiastic and happy be-
cause the theme of the day will be Italy
and Italy will always be- home to them. 1t
is that never-dying human love Of home
that causes every foreigner in every cline
to eagerly embrace every opportunity that
offers to honor his native land. And it
does not affect his loyalty or love for his
adopted country. The celebration Of the
anniversary Of a United Germany or a
United Italy merely serves to warm the
cookies Of the hearts that draw their blood
from either fatherland, and they return
from "reminiscences Of the days spent in
those far-off old homes with renewed spirit
to enjoy the blessings of their nearby new
ones and with renewed determination to
protect and defend the institutions that
distribute them so plenteously.

Discussion az to Gen Mfles' courage and
ability must be extremely ons-sidsd; no
one who knows Miles can honestly ques-
ton either Of them. Throughout the war
Of the rebellion and against Indians on the
now-vanished frontier. Nelson A Miles al
ways did his whole duty. no matter how
dangerous or disagreeable that duty was.
In times of comparative peace he has given
to those portions Of the army for which he
was responsible an excellent administra-
ton: during the disturbances at Chicago
last summer he was not found wanting.
1t Is the public impression that objection
to Gen. Miles being placed in command Of
the army comes almost entirely from those
who. being themselves graduates Of the
military. academy at West Point. are op-
POSED to the supreme elevation Of non
graduate. Surely that impression Is with
out any considerable foundation. For the
sake Of the army The Star hopes that the
prejudice of graduates against non-gradu-
ates has almost passed away. It Is difficult
to figure out how the President could make
Junior officer step over Gen. Miles head;
the compiled tons which would ensue as
the result of such an attempt win suggest
themselves at once to any one conversant
with military methods. No one. however,
has any facts to exhibit in support of the
theory that some other general than Miles
will be placed in command Of the army on
the Goth inst. Unprejudiced folks are sat
isfied that Miles will directly succeed Scho-
field, and that the army will take long
stride ahead as the result of the succession.

The Command of the ARMY

onenses now deemed sufficient to prevent
the transfer of Gen. Miles from Governors
Island to the War Department. Discussion
OF ancient history Is sometimes profitable.
but 1t does not promise to be so In this
instance; 1t is probably enough for most
people to know that whatever Gen. Miles
may or may not have done in Arizona, he
was not even formally accused of soldierly
improperly, although the army Is always
Jealous of its good repute. Had Cen Miles
been guilty of any offense against military
authority he would surely have been
court-martialed: the fact that charges were
not preferred against him Is the strongest
kind of testimony in his behalf Even sun
posing, though. that there was disobed-
fence OF orders some nine years ago. If
would be most extraordinary proceeding
to delay the infliction of punishment until,

. form of punishment for which there is
no precedent. and which, without Con-
Rressional action. would b Ineffective

The efficiency of our west-coast quaran-
tine is likely to be severely tested for some
time to come. Cholera is rampant in China
and Japan and has also secured foot-hold
at Honolulu. Nervous people and people
who are not nervous will alike keep an eye
on the health officers of the Pacific border.
for many of those officials are as yet I'M
tried. Hitherto Asiattc cholera has gener-
ally assailed US from the east, and has in
variably been barred out. Now. however,
comes a serious attack from the west, and
there will of course be comparisons insti-
tuted between the eastern and western sub
divisions of the force upon the vigilance of
which so much depends.
