No doubt you have seen albtnO girls

bly, you may have seen albino raccoons
and other albino animals, but did any
Of you ever hear of an albino frog?
You know an albino animal is one that
lacks coloring matter in its skin, eyes
and hair, and such a specimen Is always
interesting to scientists. Consequently,
1t was considered great find when one
of the students of Packer institute, in
New York State, caught an albinO frog
You may imagine how funny creamy
white frog with beautiful pink eyes
might look. 1t is supposed to be the
only specimen of the kind ever cap
tured, and 1t will be kept alive as long
as possible, 50 that visitors may see it.

Philadelphia Record.
Tiny potato sprouts forcing their way up
through the soil, hOurishing little onion
sets, tender green leaves of radishes, let
tuce, peas, beans and beetS gladden. the
hearts of the Pingree patch farmers in
West Philadelphia. Many of the poor peo-
pie who have taken lots to cultivate are
raising their very first vegetable crops, and
they are as pleased as children at the now
gardens more carefully tended. The nov
ices at the business are quick to learn ana
put into practice the principles OF agrlcul-
ture as explained to them by the superin-
tendent.
The largest group of Pingree patches is
located around Fifty-sixth street and
Girard avenue. There is where ground was
first broken. A hundred families have
quarter-acre lots in the neighborhood, and
on clear days the fields are dotted with
busy workers. Women are out in greater
numbers than the men. They wear sum
bonnets and WELD hoes with great earnest
ness. Some of the men are rather inclined
to look on this light farming as women'S
work. Certainly the women take an inter
est in it. The superintendent says they
are not so addicted to backache and they
do not have to rest so much on the fence
as the men. Even at this early day it is
suspected that a few of the latter are wait
ing for the corn to grow high enough to
furnish shade.
Half of each lot is planted with potatoes,
which ought to make a return to the holder
of the land, if carefully worked, is sutti-
cient to supply a family with vegetables
ana greens IOr the summer. All the SeeuS
should be in the ground by the end of a
couple of weeks, and then attention will
have to be turned towards loosening the
soil, fighting weeds and sprinkling rapa-
cious potato bugs with paris green.
The rain of Saturday night and yesterday
morning gave the ground a much-needed
soaking, and if in the coming week the sun
casts down it's genial rays the young po-
tatoes and vegetables will take a great
squirt. Last weeks cold spell had a retard-
ing influence on the crops, but 81 few nice
warm days will do wonders towards max
ing good the loss in growth. The vacant
lots cultivation committee. which fathers
the Pingree patch project, can apportion
now available. There are many more APP
plicants for lots than can be supplied. A
visit to the already cultivated lots is con-
vincing proof that this method of assisting
the poor is thoroughly practicable. and the
committee has hopes that the evidence of
growing crops will encourage contributions
toward extending the system.

what's in the wind now?" He was prompt
" informed that the enemy was after him,
and was urged to seek a shelter In the
woods. Cambridge pointed to a thick piece
of woodland, at some distance from the
house, saying: Booth, get over there at
once and hide yourself" Booth looked
around for Herold. but he was not in sight
at that time; then, Strengthening himself
up, said: "Ill do as you say, boys, right
off. Ride on. Good bye. 1t will never do
for you to be found in my company" Then,
biting his lips. as if he had conceived a
desperate resolve, he said, REST assured,
good friends, Wilkes. Booth will never be
taken alive
Herold soon rejoined Booth. He had been
introduced to the Garrett family by Booth
as Mr.. Harris. They did not know who
he was any more than they knew Booth.
The two men became very much excited
over the information received from Ruggles
and cambridge. Booth sent r. B.. Garrett
up to his room for a pistol which he had
left hanging on the bedpost. BY the time
he returned, a detachment of troops rode
past the house on the road about a quarter
of a mile distant. AS a matter of fact they
were after Jett, knowing that he had
crossed the river with Booth, and suppos-
ing that Booth was still with him.
After the troops had passed the house
the two men walked to a piece of woods
back of the house and stood there about
an hour, returning to ask one of the Gar
rett brothers if he would rent them a horse
to take them to the nearest railroad sta
ton. Garrett refused, having become sus-
picious of them, but helped them to make
a bargain with a colored man who lived
near by. The negro was to call for them
the next morning. Mr.. Garrett, the father
of the family, was not feeling well that
evening and retired early. The men sat
upon the upper gallery of the house and
talked until quite late, after which they
asked if they might sleep in the barn, fifty
yards away, so as not to disturb the father
of the family when they went away in the
morning. This explains why Booth ard
Herold retired to sleep in the barn.
The information which Ruggles impaired
to Booth was, indeed, correct. His trail
had been struck at last, and now the
detectives and the Union soldiers were
after him and his companion in hot haste.
Booths earthly days were but few, and
were rapidly drawing to a close.
