THE FROG CROP.

The frog crop at present is wholly wild,
and the bulk of it is marketed in Philadel-
phia and New York. Missouri is the great
frog producing State. The town Of Ken
nett alone ships 10000 pounds OF dressed
frog legs annually and New Madrid is
second with %, 900 pounds. These figures
are taken from the books of the railroads.
The swamp lands of Missouri and Arkan-
sas are the finest frog growing areas in the
world, the frogs found there being of the
real bull species. They are caught in all
sorts of ways, some with hook and a bit
Of red flannel, and Others by spearing and
shooting. The frog season begins about
the middle of March and lasts three months.
At night men go out in small boats which
are provided with lamps and big refectors
The light SO blinds the frogs that the boat
can be padded right up to them and they
are readily speared. Exceptional speci.
mems weigh as much as two pounds.

all to soon. Almost before you know it.
the road ends A short walk, and you
stand on the edge of Walnut Canyon, three
hundred feet deep, and about fifteen miles
long. One is not prepared for such sight.
On either side, as far as the eye goes, built
beneath the overhangng cliffs, are to be
seen these strange dwellings, defying,
alike, the elements of nature and the
curiosity Of man. Here they are easily
entered; yonder, inaccessible to all but the
eagle.
Perhaps ones first impression is of the
wonderful wisdom and genius of this ancient
people. They knew where to build, and
they knew how. If they were not Odd
Fellows, they were High Masons Their
walls are as true as we can build and the
ravages of time leave them still unshaken.
Stones are there that could never have been
put in place and faced without tools that
the Indian never uses. On the walls are
still to be seen the shoe marks of their rude
hearths. Scraps of pottery are evidences
of their skill, and the coloring and decora-
tons are indications of primitive idea OF
beauty.
But what moved me most was what |
found in little chamber used, doubtless,
as sleeping room. In "a corner, about
two feet from the stone floor, was the i'm
preston of tiny baby hand Baby and
house were Young together! Henceforth
this is no dead place. Here, too the drama
of life was enacted. Birth, courtship
marriage, and death have sanctified and
made vocal these empty halls. This
ancient people seems to live again, as one
wanders from chamber to chamber. 1t is
an experience never to be forgotten, and
one is loath to leave the spot so full Of
human interest.
Meantime the less curious horses have
nbbed and rested and are only too glad
to take their riders over the ten miles in
an hour and half. 1t is an ideal outing,
stimulating to body and mind. The
rhythm of the ponies hoofs is merry music.
After twenty miles on horseback and two
hours of cliff-climbing, one halls with Joy

AMONG THE CLIFF-DWELLINGS.

Probably few people that cross the CON
tinent realize that in this region are to be
found more natural wonders than in any
other equal area in the world. Yet such is
the fact. Ten miles from Flagstaff, in
Walnut Canyon, stand the prehistoric cliff
dwellings. Fifteen miles to the east are
the great lava beds To the north stand
the San Francisco Mountains, in whose
twelve thousand feet the geologist finds
everv stratum of the earth represented.
Some distance to the east is the most extern
sive and best preserved agate forest yet
known; while to the north, again, is the
matchless Grand Canyon of the Colorado
River. Any one of these is worth crossing
the continent to see; but, when all these
wonders are packed into one region, the
attraction is simply irresistible. Add to
all this the fact that Flagstaff is on a
wooden plateau, sixty by two hundred
miles, and at an elevation of seven thou
sand feet, and one has a good excuse for
declining to 90 farther for his vacation.
Yesterday, returning from visit to that
standing enigma, the cliff-dwellings such
was my Interest that l vowed second
pilgl image to those prehistoric homes.
Imagine my delight, then, when early this
morning the hotel man saluted me with,
''If you want to 20 to the cliffs, you can
take my pony" The invitation needed not
to be repeated. In due time full, Pledged
cowboy came to the door, having in tow
as pretty pony as one could wish. We
"Dead sure" was the answer. And he
added: "When you want to turn to the
left, hold the lines over this way. When
you want to 20 to the right, hold them over
there; and, when you want to stop, just
hold the lines. up 500 That seemed
simple enough; any child could understand
that. So, with a bound, we started for our
twenty-mile ride An easier mount | could
not wish. What delight to be on the back
vi SllCll u pbuy. III IL lew lulHuttS, HOW-
ever, we had to cross the railroad track
We were just in time to meet the overland
freight, coming in two sections, with a
screech and groan. Now sometimes it is
hard to remember simple things; and pre-
sumo forgot just how to hold those lines.
At that moment it failed to occur to me
that all had to do was to "hold the lines
up So" | never so respected the humanity
of a horse as when | saw how this pony
enjoyed having his own way. 1t was re-
freshing to think of that-afterward. And
it was easy to forget it, as we bounded into
the great pine forest in which the road lay
for some six or eight miles. And such
roads! As level as board, and as dust
less.
