FroGs.


There IL young woman FAMED Miss
Mona Selden in the town of Friend
ship, New Jersey, who abandoned
school teaching about seven years ago
in order to engage in some occupation
more conducive to her health. She con-
cluded to raise frogs for the New York
and Philadelphia markets, and for this
purpose bought, at $500 per acre,
twenty acres of marsh land in the vicinr
ity of Friendship. This tract she
fenced in, and has diligently prosecuted
the business Of breeding. buying and
selling frogs. until 1t yields her an in
come Of $4,000 per year. We extract
from an exchange the following partic-
ulars in regard to this enterpris;ng
woman and her surroundings:
"Since Miss Selden turned her atten-
ton to buying frogs, she has spent less
time hunting, but occasionally she goes
out for a day in the bog and comes
home with full bag. The twenty acres
that she bought she holds as a reserve.
and ten acres of 1t she has turned into 8
breeding place for frogs.
"She calculates that every spring
there are about 10000 frogs in the
breeding ground. She feeds them and
they are furnished with clear water
from a continuously flowing stream
Under the treatment that the woman
gives them the frogs thrive and grow
to enormous proportions. The largest
are kept in the ranch" The medium
sized are taken for the market. because
they are the tenderest. juciest and
sweetest, and they command higher
price than the larger legs.
I'm her home Miss Selden has a large
aquarium in which she keeps fish and
frogs. They are her only pets, and they
seem to have an affection for her. The

Too Rig n Mouthful.

Speaking of odd accidents to birds,
a friend of the Boys and Girls depart
ment wrote about n surprising thing
which he saw last summer. He was
camped on Lake Geneva during most
of the month of August, and he found
much pleasure in watching those fish
ers of the air. the osprey and the king
fisher. One day he saw a kingfisher
drop down from the sky like a shot,
splash into the water near shore and
then rise laboriously with heavy fish
in Its talons. 1t few to the top of a
tall stub near shore, and while he
watched 1t he saw it flutter suddenly
from its perch and then drop down
ward with apparently helpless wings.
He rowed over to the shore and ran to
the foot Of the dry stub. The king
fisher lay there futtering feebly and
almost dead with a small perch stuck
fast i'm its throat. 1t had tried to swal-
low entirely too large mouthful. and
had not the visitor removed the fish II
soon would have died.

EARNING for Ernpa.

Kin farms, but who ever heard of a
frog farm? Yet just such novelty ex-
lists in the Trout river basin Of Ontario.
Canada. 1t has been in operation for
many years and has i large annual out
put Of frogs legs and live frogs. In the
summer time 1t is probably the greatest
place for hops in the world. and as for
orchestras and vocal music few places
can equal it. The farm is mostly a
stretch of shallow water and swamps
and the frogs are allowed to hop at
large and breed until they are three or
four years old. Then the farmers go
out at night with torches and the frogs
are caught in nets and placed In pens.
When they are wanted the water is
drained of and the frogs are sent away
to market. The farm is stocked mostly
/ with big bullfrogs, which provide the
largest and best legs. In 1895 ahn 1896
the farm" produced the immense
amount of 5000 pounds Of dressed frog
legs, besides 1000 live frogs for vari
Gus purposes.

INDIA's FRIeYrruL FAMINE.
1t Is Spreading in Area And Increas-
ing in Intensity.

London, Jan.~3O.-The famine in India
spreads in area and increases in intensity.
The famine fund fails to amount up so ra-
pidly as to warrant the sanguine estl-
mate that total of 100000 sterling will
be reached. Thoroughly reliable and indie
pendent Indian advices concur in stating
that relief will be required for about $780,
900 people before the famine abates, the pc
riod of relief extending to September next.
Nobody attempts to forecast what viii
happen If favorable rains fail to fall in
the famine district in July and August
next.
The urgent and prospective pressure Of
the situation has awakened public reeol-
lection to the existence of the famine In
surance fund, Initiated by Lord Lytton, as
viceroy after the famine OF 1877. The COY
eminent of India then undertook TO set
apart annually q 100000 sterling as fam
Inc fund. A scheme of special taxation FOR
this fund was adopted and carried out
What has been done with the fund? IL has
been largely misapproprated for military
purposes, and, worse still, 1t has been
drawn upon to give compensation allow
ances to the vast body of civilian ana mil
itary officials in India, whose fixed sala-
ries have suffered by the depreciation OF
the rupee. Even men who accepted once
in India when the rupee SlOou az AlS 'OM
est, and who knew what the sterling val
ue of their salaries would amount to, have
claimed and got out of the famine insur-
ance fund compensation for the deprecia-
ted rupee. The dishonor attaching TO this
scandal will tarnish for all time the his
tory of British rule in India.
The Russian fund for the relief OF India
has fizzled out. The foreign press spoke OF
1t, but 1t turns out to be nothing tangible.
Tf Of the
relief should be given in grain Timed
meats or other foods, excepting grain,
would touch the caste prejudices even OF
the famine stricken.
