How a snake eats frogs is worth the
telling. The writer distinctly remem-
bers witnessing dramatic meal of this
kind, in which, of course, the snake
came out the winner, getting his DIM
nsr in excellent style and completely
vanquishing the frog. While a snake
may seem at first sight an organism
that is extraordinarily slow of compre-
hension, any well regulated ophidian
knows, nevertheless, exactly how to
satisfy the wants of nature in the most
approved manner.
A snake invariably grabs a frog by
the hind legs. This preliminary strug-
gle is one of the most impressive feat
ures of the combat. With a well-de-
fined natural instinct, the chief effort
of the frog is to keep his other hind
leg far away from the snakes mouth,
in the hope that he may speedily ez-
haust his enemy's strength, and also
because he feels that if his other hind
leg is made captive he will have less
power to fight.
Once both hind legs are within tho
serpent's fangs, the act of swallowing
begins. Inch by inch the struggling
frog is drawn further and further into
the yawniDg orifce that expands at
each gulp. The channel through which
the frog has to pass is gradually en-
larged by slow efforts on the snakes
part, accompanied by fercer and
fiercer commissions of the wretched
wiggler.
The gullet of the snake in its natural
proportions is quite large enough to
contain the limbs of the frog, but as
by frequent gulps the body is drawn
further And further into the gullet, the
difficulty of swallowing increases.
Gradually the ophidian's throat is dis
tended, gradually the frog is COM
pressed and drawn out. Finally the
latter is double his normal length and
half his circumference. AS the process
of expansion on the one hand and con-
traction on the other goes on, the frog
is worked down little by little, until
he starts in on his afternoon nap

MASKS for Soldiers in WarIare.

Masks for soldiers engaged in war
fare in the colonies, not as defense
against the sword or the bullet Of the
enemy, but as a protection from the

such as the original proposition which
has just been submitted to Che French
Academy of Medicine. It emanates
from DR.. Heurot, professor at the
Rheims School of Medicine, who ar

prevent the germs from penetrating
to the lungs of the soldier engaged in
colonial warfare, who, as he is not
acclimated, and is overworked, is
much more liable to attack from fever

When a Tent Cent Piece is Good.

One phase OF the silver question
came up in the supreme court of the
United States a few days ago in a case
decided by Chief Justice Fuller.
James e. Morgan and wife were on a
car operated by the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad Company. The con-
duetor refused to accept for their fare
a ten-cent piece, because he thought
it was not worth par, being worn by
abrasion while circulating as q part of
the national currency.
Morgan was elected and brought suit
against the railroad company for dam
ages therefor. He recovered judgment
for S315 and costs, and the judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court OF
the state. The railroad company sued
out q writ of error and carried the
case to the supreme court of the
United States. In disposing of it the
chief justice referred to the law regu-
lating the defaced and abraded coins,
and stated that there was no provision
against silver coinswhich we're abraded
IN circulation and that they we're a le-
gal tender rs long as they bore the
semblance of a coin.
The writ of error was dismissed, thus
affirming the judgment Of the state SUI
preme court against the railroad com
pany.

Book Covers.

The covering of books with chamois,
silk or fine linen has come to be an
art. BY means of it paper bound
volume may be transformed into some
thing rich and dainty by pair of
clever hands as home. A volume copy
of "Old Love Letters" was seen not
long ago which had been decorated by
the outer slip, which was made of
what is called "sad colored" silk. On
it the title had been embroidered in
subdued tlnts. A true lovers knot
encircled the words, and from it few
scattered forget-me-nots were droop-
ing. The effect was exquisite, and
yet it was done by no experienced EN-
broiderer. Detroit Free Press.

HONTEwARD HO!

No blade nor flower nor leaf
You carry or remember;
The apple, nut, and sheaf
Are all your sign, November;
And hon1eward hoi where autumns go
Your barns and bins Will sing
From Hallowmas till Spring.
Oh homeward, homeward hoi
Where fires of welceTne burn
Where Joy is feast and love is priest,
God speed the glad returni
The frost-foot on the lea
Has stalled the stubble- -plowing;
The wind has chased the bee
From off the clover rowen;
And Nature. queen, that ruled the green
VIII house herself and spin,
And call her children in.
Sing homeward, homeward no!
Armed Winter, with his chiiIs
Encamped since April morning
Lies snoring in the hills
Till the next moontide's warning.
We'll heed not yet his windy threat
While seven sunshines stay
To laugh his fakes away.
So homeward, homeward ho!
For hut with thatch Of grass
And hall with roof of cedar
Hold high Thanksgiving mass
And praise the Heavenly Feeder,
Where kindred binds at household shrines
And the last days OF Fall
Sum UP the joy of all.
Oh h0meward, homeward hoi
Where fires of welcome burn
Where JOY is feast and love is priest,
God speed the glad return,

IF YOU'RE GOOD.

Santa Claus'll come tonight,
If you're good,
And do what you know is right,
AS you should;
Down the chimney he will creep,
Bringing you woolly sheep,
And a doll that goes to Sleep
If you're good.
Santa Claus will drive his sleigh
Thro' the wood,
But he'll come around this way
If you're good,
With a wind-up bird that sings,
And puzzle made of rings
Jumping jacks and funny things
If you're good.
He will bring you cars that "go,"
If you're good,
And rocking-h g-horsey-oh!
If he would
And a dolly, if you please,
That says Mama" when you squeeze
It-he'll bring you one of these,
If you're good.
Santa grieves when you are bad,
AS he should;
But it makes him very glad
When you're good.
He is wise, and he's dear;
Just do right and never fear;
He'll remember you each year,

Very few plants flourish in a room where
gas is used. We may be 10th to give up the
ure all summer, but they seldom do well in
a hot close room. If they are potted and
trimmed down and kept in a frost-proof
if the leaves are sprayed each day until they
become thoroughly accustomed to their new
abode, hardy geraniums will oftentimes pay
the care and trouble but slips and young
plants potted early in the fall will usually do
better for window plants.

PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE.
1t is difficult to get old-fashioned
pumpkins in New York markets. Deal
ers offer perfected variety of
pumpkin, which is an inferior SQUASH
1t is entirely different from the genuine
golden fruit of the vine, which makes
New England corn fields picturesque
with color long after the sheaves of
corn have been gathered
Ii you are fortunate enough to obtain
genuine pumpkin, cut in pieces with
out peeling. Scrape off the inner shreds
that hold the seeds. Boil the pieces of
pumpkin with pint of water in a
thick porcelain-lined kettle, for five or
six hours, or until it has become sweet
as we'll as tender and there is very lit
tie liquid around it. Strain it through
puree sieve of the same sized mesh
as flour sieve. To four cups of this
strained pumpkin add four cups of milk,
one even teaspoonful of salt, two tea
spoonfuls Of ginger, one large one Of
mace, five eggs well beaten
and large coffee cup of
sugar. Crate in half nutmeg. Beat
the custard well and taste it to see if
it is sweet enough. Put this mixture
into deep pie plates, lined with pastry,
and bake for three-QuarterS Of an hour.
1t should then be solid in the center
and have rich, golden-brown color.
THE BEST MINCE MEAT.
NIince meat should be made several
weeks before using and left covered in
a cold place, to grow rich and perfect
in flavor. A simple rule for mince
meat, by measure, calls for pint bowl
of well-cooked lean beef chopped to the
finest mince (measured after chopping),
two bowls Of tart apples chopped into
coarse bits, and half a bowl of chopped
suet. Add to this a pound of seeded
raiSins, chopped fine, a pound of cur
rants, a quarter of pound of citron
cut in thin slices, a tablespoonful each
of powdered cinnamon, grated nutmeg
and powdered cloves. Use enough
sweet cider to make these ingredients
very moist Add a bowl Of sugar and
an even teaspoonful of salt. Let the
mince meat boil up for ten minutes
and set it away in stone jar.

A BIT OF LIFE.

A maiden sat within the door
And sang as many times before.
A man to daily toll passed by,
No love nor pleasure lit his eye,
But when he heard the merry song
He whistled as he went along.
A woman by the window wept
For one who In the churchyard slept.
But when upon her hearing fell
That tune she knew and loved 80 we'll,
The flood of burning tears was stayed,
And soon song her lips essayed
Her neighbors heard her tender strain,
And softly joined the sweet refrain.
Thus, all day long that one song bore
It's joyousness from door to door.
