W0MAN -FROG HTNTER.

Kew q New jersey Maiden Makes g Com
Portable Living.
Miss Mona Seldom, Of Friendship, n.
J., is a hunter of renOwn. The game
she bags is frogs. For seven years she
has been supporting herself by her
unique method. Now she IS one of the
most prosperous citizens in the little
town, and she is reputed to have a bank
account which. if it keeps on growing,
viii eventually enable her to give up
frog shooting. Before she took to frog
shooting Miss Seldom taught school in
the country regions. She did not partic-
larly enjoy teaching. for her pupils were
frequently boys about twice as big as
herself, and they had that particular
form of humor which shows itself in
being obstreperous. Moreover, the sal
airy did not satisfy Miss Selden's ideas
Of proper compensation. Consequently,
when she found that frogs were a cost
" luxury she resolved to invest her
savings III q frog farm. Friendship be
ing rich in boys and swamps. Miss Sell
den bought 20 acres of land, fenced it
in and began to raise frogs for the New
York market, to the scornful delight of
her neighbors. They thought she was
a harmless and amusing lunatic when
they saw her practicing shooting frogs.
But when they learned that she cleared
81, 600 the first season, those who came
to scoh remained to initiate, and frog
shooting became a popular occupation
in Friendship. The other shooters sell
their game to Miss Selden, who in turn
sells it to the market

FOOD EoR CHILDREN.

A Few Facts Which Mothers Would
Do Well to Remember.
No solid food of any kind should be
given to a child until it has the larger
share Of its first teeth Even then it
must not be supposed that because a
child has acquired its teeth it may par
take of all kinds of food with impunity.
The digestive apparatus of a child diff
fers greatly from that Of an adult
in its anatomical structure, and in the
character and amount of digestive
fluids, and it is by no means proper to
allow a child to eat all kinds of even
wholesome food which a healthy adult
stomach, can digest with impunity, to
say nothing of the rich, highly seasoned
viands, sweetmeats and epicurian
dishes which seldom fail to form some
part Of the bill of fare. Children are
not likely to crave unsuitable foods un-
less a taste for such articles has been de-
veloped by indulgence in them.-AIrs.

the paper is a rich yellow, the oven is
right; but if it is a light yellow the
oven is too cool; if dark brown, it is

should be just hot enough to color light

THE TALE 0UFRAGE.

The disgraeetul conduct of the Yale students on the occasion of the Bryan Meeting at New Haven has been denounced by the press and the people of that city irrespective of party affiliation and it is quite probable that the matter will come before the faculty of Yale uniyersi- ty for official action. The Asso- ciated Press dispatch to the New York papers says:
 "It made more votes for Bryan than any speech could have done, for scores of men were heard to re- mark that they had hesitated as to how they should cast their ballot, but the iSsult from the supposed-t to- be educated sons of Yale to a presi- dential candidate had decided them to vote for Bryan. Although the sentiment of the Yale students as Q body is for gold, and three-fourths of Yate's faculty are gold men, the riotous demonstration today is re- gretted and condemned by the thoughtful and fair-minded students and all the professors.
 Ia most striking and agreeable contrast to the conduct of the Yale students was that of the young gentlemen attending the Bowdoin College when MT. Bryan was on his way to the home of the Hon. Arthur Sewall at Bath, Me. The Bowdoin gave him hearty reception when the train pulled into the depot and cheered the short speech he deliv- cred. It is quite evident that man ners instead of hoodlumism is taught at Bowdoin and that the young gentlemen determined to show Mir Bryan that all college students in the East are not hood. lums and toughs.-New Orleans States.

IRON GATES OF THE DANUBE
 OPENED.

One of the last of the great events connected with Hungary's millenial exposition, which has been in pro gress at Budapest since last May, was the opening of the Iron Gates of the Danube last Sunday by the emperor of Austria and the kings of Servia and Roumania. The en- trance to the Iron Gates canal is about four miles from Orsova, Ser via, and at this point iower-laden cord had been stretched across the only obstruction now remaining to the commerce of the great Danube river. As the steamer on which were the three monarchs of the three nations specially interested in this great engineering work snap ped the flower laden cord, the salute of cannon and the cheers of the peo- pie proclaimed that the dreaded Iron Gates of the Danube no longer had any terror for the navigator and that they were forever open to the commerce of the nations on it's banks.
 This event is notable one, and in connection with the other events celebrated in this thousandth year of Hungary's existence as . nation, shows an awakened spirit of enter prise and national pride that augurs well for the future of Austria Hungary. The Danube is to eastern Europe what the Rhine is to west ern Europe. It is river of romance of a picturesque beauty quite as
 eat as that of the Rhine, but not parhaps, as well celebrated, and is the noblest stream of the continent
 Just sixty years ago the first steamer to take it's departure from Vienna.to Pesth began it's trip with half the Austrian capital on the banks to witness the novel sight. And the same year the Iron Gates were passed for the first time by the Pannonia But the rapids caused by the huge rocks in the bed of the river, the frowning preciplces of the encroaching mountains and other difficulties have ever since made the passage of the Iron Gates one that was dreaded, frequently re- sulting in damage to vessels and sometimes in the loss of life. The construction of the great canal and the removal of some of the rocks have at last obviated the difficulty of passage and the gloomy shadows of the mountains at the Iron Gates will henceforth be only a pictur- esque feature of the "blue Danube "

THE National Democratic Com mittee is sorely embarrassed for the lack of funds to carry on the legiti- mate expenses of this great cam palgn. Chairman Jones has an. neunced that the committee is total ly without money On the other hand the Republican National Com mittee has more money, that has been crontributed by the robber trusts and corporations, than it's members know how to spend legiti- mately. These trusts and corpora tions can afford to give largely to aid in the election of Mckinley, for if he is victorious, their contribu- tions will be as bread cast upon the waters, and the money, wrung from the pockets of the toiling mil lions, will return to them doubled many fold.

WOE TO THE COTTON TIE TRUST.
The Simple Invention of an Arkansas Man Promises 10 Revolutionize
 Matters

The Arkansas Gazette of today (Thursday) says: Not long ago there appeared in these columns an interview with Commissioner W. G. Vincenheller, of the State Agrieul- tural Bureau, setting forth the tfib- ute sought to be levied upon the Southern cotton planters by the cot ton tie trust. The long continued eupidity of that trust has not taxed Southern ingenuity in vain, as a recent development attests. An Arkansan has come to the front with an invention which is simple and in expensive and affords a salutary sub stitue for the trusts cotton tie.
 Mir. Dan B. Easley, of Benton, has obtained letters patent upon cot ton tie made simply of No. 9. wire with clasp invincible against wear and tear. One beauty ahont it is that a bale can be tied with this wire at two-thirds the cost of the flat tie. The wire costs 5 cents per pound There are 1.724 feet in one hundred pounds of it and the break ing strain is 1,560 pounds. Sixty three feet are required to bale of cotton. Mir. Easley will make trial of the wire at Wrightsville.
