THE EDIBLE FROG INDUSTRY.

A Washington dispatch TO- the New
York Commercial Advertiser says:
Frogs: Their Use as Food and Their
Artificial Propagation," will be one tf
the questions discussed at the ma
tioLa fishery congress, to be held in
Tampa. Fla, next January. Frog
culture is new thing, scientifically.
The head fish ciilturst 0f the United
States fish commission said this wces
that the frog is little understood in
this country; there never has been Il
paper OF real scientific value written
upon him. Just now the commission
has in press paper entitled Notes
on the Edible Frogs of the United
States and Their Artificial Propaga-
tion."
Some people believe that only the
legs Of the frog are good TO eat. TIE
reason why frogs legs are usually
served instead Of tile whole body OF
the frog is because the meat on the
body Of such small quantity that 10
would not pay to pick the bones. In
some localities the entire body ID
fried with eggs and crumbs. In early
days many people were afraid Of frogs,
partly on account OF their unprcpos-
sessing appearance and partly on ac-
count OF the fact that witches were
supposed TO use them in working
spells. Fy many years frogs were
eaten only in France. Their value as
food was appreciated by the Romans.
From France the custom spread into
Germany. thence into England and
other parts of Europe, and, last of all,
into the United States. But this
country has passed France as a frog
eating nation. In 1889 the Revue des
Sciences Naturelles Appiques calcu-
lated that the United States consum.
cd ten times us many frogs as did
France. The United States fish COM
mission calculates that the present
catch OF frogs in the United States
is about 1000, 900, which bring to the
frog catchers il revenue OF about $780,
000 and the cost of which to the con.
sumers is about three times that
amount. The States at present sup.
plying the largest number Of frogs for
the markets arc California; Missouri;
New York, Arkansas, Maryland, Vir.
ginia, Ohio and Indiana. Frogs arc
imported into this country from
Canada.
The commissions pamphlet dcvutes
a chapter to the art Of catching frogs.
The sporting way is to bait hook
with red cloth and fish for them
Where commercial frog hunting Is
carried on, however, spears and guns
are used The common way in sucli
localities is to shoot them at night,
using bright llashlight. After the
frogs enter their Information they are
dug out of the mud by hunters, and
sometimes Il bushel OF them may be
found in one cavity.
The commission is OF the opinion
that some restriction should be placed
on frog hunting, as they are already
beginning to disappear from places
where they are hunted extensively
This decrcase is very marked in Lake
Erie and Northern New York, and in
those places some people are seriously
contemplating engaging in the culture
of frogs in order to havea supply for
the market. In view of this the tlsl
commission has published some sug
gestions for frog culture:

from Oklahoma, the land of liars, says
the Atchison Globe. Rev. c. l.. Berry.
II Presbyterian minister, was sen
fenced to the pcnitentiary for three
years for robbing the people by means
of fraudulent banking enterprise.
Last Sunday the sheriff was ready to
start TO Lcavenworth with Il lot OF
prisoners. including Parson Berry, but
Berry said it was against his princi-
pies to travel on Sunday. SO the sheriff
wcnt on with the other prisoners, and
permitted Berry to come alJng on
Monday, by himself, which he did. A
mans religious scruples should al.

THE AGE OF DEER:
Chambers $ Journal.

Chambers Journal.
Romance has played a prominent
part with regard to the longevity Of
deer. What says the Highland adnge'
Thrice the age Of u dog is that of horse.
Thrice the age OF u horse Is that Of man,
Thrice the age Of man Is that of u deer,
Thrice the age Of u deer is that OF an eagle,
Thrice the age Of AN eagle Is that OF I'M oak
tree.
This is to assign the deer to a pe.'
riod Of more than two hundred years;
and the estimate is supported ~
many highly cIrcumstantial stories.
Thus, Captain Mcdonald, of TullOch,
who died In l776, aged eighty.six
years, is said to have known the white
hind Of Loeb Trcig for fifty years, his
father for like period before him,
and his grandfather for sixty years
before him. So in 1896 Mac cDonald, OF
Glengarry, Is reported to have killed
Il stag which bore a mark on the left
ear identical with that made on all
the calves lie could catch by EweRi
Maclan.Cg, who had been dead $50
years. Analogous stories, it may bc
noted, are told In countries ON the
continent Of Europe, where deer ars
to be found in any number. But;
alas! the general opinion among ex
perts would seem to be that thirty
years or thercabouts is the limit OF d
deer's life.

yours. There are some left
las good bargains as the
others, but the difference is
in the colors.
We have a big stock of

Pressly for it. There's no

Everything depends on that.

This week we are making
a run on infants and chill

they can be made at home as
cheaply as we sell them.

Mr.. FRANK GOT THE BOOKS.
Alderman Howe Gave His Decision
in the Case Yesterday.

The books of the B'nai, Abraham and
Jacob society were yesterday handed
over by Alderman John T. Howe to j..
NJ. Frank, president of the society,
where, it is decreed, the records rightly
belong. Alderman Howe had appoint
ed Hyman Levers, of the majority side,
and Isaac Stenberg, of the minority
side, to act with himself as a board to
sift the correct ownership of the books.
Lewes was on hand for a conference
at three different times, but Mr. Stein
berg did not appear. Yesterday Alder
man Howe sent for President Frank
md returned the books to him. War
ren & Knapp, who represented Mr..
Frank showed that the information on
which the search warrant for the books
was issued was defective. Attorney
Nathan Vidaver represented the oppo-
sition to the Frank party.
Alderman Millar's jury to consider
the case where President Frank
charges Simon Hinerfeld and l.. Acker-
son with assault and battery, will meet
next Friday evening. President Frank
stated to Tribune reporter yesterday
that his friends are determined to pun
fish Ackerson and Hinerfeld to the full
est extent of the law.
The society will hold its regular Sab
bath prayer services today, and to
guard against disturbance, police Off
GERS will be stationed in the Penn ave-
nue. synagogue. The officers will be
there at the solicitation of President
Frank. Ackerson and others who. are
not members of the society owing to
non payment of dues, will be, refused
admittancc. The same precaution will
be taken Sunday, when the business
meeting will be held.
