There was q hard fight In the Legis-

charge that Honorable Senators and
Representatives had their liquor free,
but 1t passed in a weak solution-two-
thirds water. 1t seems that the liquor
manufacturers OF other States leave
their 'samples" to be given away by
the Dispensary officials. A~pologists Of
recipients OF these fancy liquors urge
that the samples" do not belong to
the State. This ia very well,
but 1t would be we'll that Legisla-
tors and State officials should not re-
ceive these presents-only the nigardly

Frog. Sing Love Songs.

One of tho most extraordinary things
about frog music is the fact that the
frog keeps his mouth closed when ne Is
singing.
He can sing through his skin. He is
proyided with pair of resonant cham
hers like drums, and he makes his music
by swapping his muscles against the dis
tended membranes. Then he can breathe
through his skin and supply all the
wind that is necessary without opening
his mouth.
A French scientist, after long listen
ing in the woods, has made out and re-
duced to writing the song OF the frog.
or "swamp music" as he calls it, and
has discovered that the frog repertory
is varied and extensive. Frogs can carry
ON conversations at long distances and
can communicate to each other emotions
of fear or anger. :,
Their songs, however, are all love
songs and are only INDUCED in when
there are female frogs about. 1t is then
that the frog distends his drums to their
utmost, throwing his head well bach
and bis legs far apart and raising ms
voice. as it is called, to the very highest
mitch of the musical scale. Pearson
