A JERSEY FROG FARM.

Croaking Crop a Profitable One.
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 athletic exercise. Now she is
one of the most prosperous citizens OK
the little town, and she is reputed to
have bank account which, If it keeps
on growing, will eventually enable her
to give up frog shooting.
Before she took to frog shooting,
Miss Seldom taught school in the couDa
try regions Tor $40 week, She did
not particularly 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, $40 week did not satisfy
Miss Seldon's idea of proper compensa-
ton. Consequently, when she found
that frogs were a costly luxury, she
resolved to invest her savings in frog
farm. Friendship being rich In boys
and swamps, Miss Seldom bought TWEEN
ty acres of land, fenced it in, and be-
gan 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
$1,000 the first season those who came
20 scott remained to initiate, and frog
shooting became popular occupation
in Friendship. The other shooters sell
their game to Miss Seldom, who in turn
sells it to the market.-New Jersey

horses for a carriage and harness. 1t

difficult that two negroes were em-
ployed to accompany them with show

times the chaise had to be taken apart
and lifted over fallen trees. The min

Hogs and Hoggishness.

There is something a little Inconsistent
in the position Of our Executive branch
toward the countries of Europe in the ma L
ter OF commercial policy. With one hand
the Admnistrati ton does all it can to con-
vince them that American meat products
are not only fat and juicy beyond the ken
OF Alderuey, Durham Southdown or West
phalta, but are as free from just suspicion
OF bacteria, microbes, urichinae, and all
that kind Of thing. as a Republican tariff
bill is void OF justice or mercy But with
the other hand it slaps the faces of foreign
peoples and informs them that they might
as well shot up shop and go out of buSi-
ness, az it does not intend TO allow them
to trade with Us any more. A very
natural result follows
Although the inspection and certifica ton
OF al meats Offered for export at Ameri-
can ports are provided for under the most
careful and eXacting regulations prescribed
by the Department Of Agriculture, the
ETeuCu EoNtTilihtill Has IuCft'tStu the uulS
on live American hogs one-half, on fresh
pork To the same extent, and has raised
the tax on ham and bacon. other pork
products and lard. even more.

Is taken as retaliation in advance for the
