CATCHING FROGS FOR THE MARKET
How the Mary1anders Take the Fa-
vored Kent County Product.
From the RaItimore Sun.


Within recent years a large trade has
grown up in Kent county in providing
frogs for market. The catching of frogs
for their legs has become a business, and
the financial returns are rather handsome
to the few engaged in the industry. Along
the small streams tributary to the larger
rivers the big green or mottled black
frogs may be found by thousands under
the tufts of flag or coarse grass. One frog
shipper has sent to the Baltimore market
hundreds of frogs legs each season, and
has SO increased the demand by the SUI
perior size and flavor of the Kent product
that he finds 1t impossible to meet the re-
quirements of the trade.
Frog legs are consumed principally by the
patrons of the principal restaurants. Frogs,
when cooked, are delicate white meat, and
much more tender than fried chicken, very
nourishing. and easily digested, and are
recommended, when stewed, as one of the
best diets for invalids with delicate stom-
achs. Only the hind legs and quarters are
eaten, and they are sent to the market
ready skinned and salted for cooking
The market frog catcher's method of cap
turing his game is to secure a small, flat
bottomed boat, easy of management, and

OFFICER wOoLERY SHOT.
Drops His Pistol and Receives the
Bullet in His Knee.


While Officer ]. B. Woolery. of the Gen.
trail police precinct, was pulling on his
overcoat in No. IA engine house at 551
Brooklyn avenue at $50 yesterday even
ing, his revolver slipped from one of the
pockets in the coat and, striking the ham,
mer on the floor, exploded a cartridge, the
bullet entering Officer Woolery's right leg
in the lower portion of the calf and lodg-
ing in the joint cavity of the knee. He
was removed in the ambulance to his
home, 2426 Penn street, where Police Sur
geon Landon attended him, but did not
remove the bullet. The wound, while not
necessarily serious, may result in a stiff
knee joint for the officer unless properly
treated, but Surgeon Landon thinks there
is little danger of this.
1t is a primary rule of all police officers
to carry their revolvers with the hammer
resting on an empty chamber to avoid an
accidental discharge of a cartridge, but
when Officer Woolery entered the fire
house last evening he was just going off
duty for the day, and after hanging his
overcoat on a nail placed his revolver In
one of the pockets while he stepped into
the lavatory. While he was absent one of
the firemen examined the gun and left
the hammer resting on loaded shell.
