BIG BIRD-EATING FROGS.
Species of Huge and Noracious Rep
tiles Haunt Swamps of
Pennsylvania

A species of birdeating frog infests
the swamps in Susquehanna county,
Pa. These huge croakers have also
proved destructive to young chickens,
says the New York Press.
A few day since farmer named
Wainwright, o Ierrick, had his atten-
ton called to tAe bird-eating propen-
sity Of this species of frog by the cries
of a small bird n a nearby swamp.
Thinking it had been seized by snake,
be FASTENED to the spot, and saw beau
tiful red and green bird in the mouth
of large, greenish frog. Only the
birds head was visible. and its cries be-
coming fainter, the frog was killed and
the bird released. Its feathers were
all wet and Shiny, and for some days
it could be distinguished in the gar
len by its ruffled plumage.
Since then others of the same species
Of frog have, on several occasions, been
killed with young chickens half swal-
lowed, and once a duckling was rescued
from the same fate.
The frogs make cIucking sound so
nearly like that of a hen calling her
chickens for food that whole broods
have been deceived and have rushed
:oward the swamp. where they supposed
the hen to be. The frogs are wary,
and it is difficult to find them except
by the squcaks of distress from their
victims.

THE CARS RICHEST CHURCH.
Lillian Bell Describes the Famous
Mass at Saint isaac's In st. Peters-
burg-iIeavcniy voices.

The famous mass held on Christmas
eve in the cathedral of Saint Isaac was
one Of the most beautiful services ever
attended, writes Lillian Bell, from St
Petersburg, Russia in Ladies' Home
Journal. In the first place, Saint
IAaac's is the richest church in all Rus
Sia. 1t has, too, the most wonderful
choir, for the ear loves music, and
wherever i'll all his empire beautiful
voice is found the boy is brought to
81. Petersburg and educated by the
state TO enter the emperor's choir.
When we entered the church the service
had been in progress for five hours.
That immense church was packed to
sutfocation. In the Greek church every
one stands, no matter how long the
service, for there are no seats.
BY degrees we worked our way to-
ward the space reserved for the diplO-
matic corps, where we were invited to
enter. Our wraps were taken and
chairs were given us. We found our
selves on the platform with the priest.
Just back of the choir. What heavenly
voices! What wonderful voices! The
bass holds on to the last note, and the
rumble and echo of it rolls through
those vaulted domes like the tones of
IN organ. The long haired priest, too,
had a wonderfully resonant voice for
intoning. He passed directly by us in
his gorgeous cloth of gold vestments,
as he went out.

IMPROVED ELECTRIC LAMP.
One DisnSreenble Feature OF Old
Lamps Is Eliminated in
New invention.

MANY schemes, such as ground and
colored glass, have been tried with the
idea of eliminating the disagreeable
glare from the tiny fiament of the
electric light, but al of them have
been attended by loss of light. What
is said TO change the surface of the
globe entirely into a luminous body,
doing away with the extreme brilIiance
of the fi!ament, is the spiral feature.
This is done by winding around the
globe, from the spike to the tip, thin
cord of glass, like the cord wrapped
around a top, says the Chicago Journal.
The manner in which the spiral is APP
piled to the bulb is interesting. 1t is
made first out OF rod glass bent on a
sharper of the same form as the par
ticuIar sample of glow lamp, and in its
separate state is quite springy affair.
To get it on the bulb it is divided half
way down, the halves are blown togeth-
er when in place, and the end Of the
spiral is blown into the spike of the
lamp. The other end is secured by ar
extension of the brass cap. 1t will be
observed that there is actual junction
only at the two poles, so that there is
no danger of the bulb cracking under
the strain of unequal heating and eX-
pansion in the spiral. An important
point in the whole matter is that there
seems nothing in the process to pre-
vent the finished articles being turned
out quite cheaply, which, of course, is
the essence of the business from a
commercial nnint Of Wow

He was very little boy, only four
years old, and even the present en,husi-
astic state of patriotism in which the
country is existing had not penetrated
his small mind, says the New York
Times. He did not know what it was to
Oe a patriot, but he does now. On the
day that he learned he was playing out
doors with some other small boys whose
educations in certain respects wer, more
advanced than mis-. So, moved by the
spirit of the times, the other small boys
asked this very small boy whether he
was a Spaniard or an American. Tia
was a momentous question, but hoy
should a small boy who had never heard
either word before to his know, edge
know that? And unfortunately the
word Spaniard was either easier fol
him to pronounce or it appealed more
to his Imagination, so that he prompt
ly returned that he was Spaniard.
That was enough; he was traitor To

OLD SHOES.
Mr. Stay bolt Has Word About The m

AS easy as an old shoe is a familiar

be no dc bt that an old shoe is a
might" comfortable thing. After we

hard and formal, how gladly we put
! them off, aud with what joy we put on
| the shoes that are old and worn and
| familiar to the feet! Old shoes. how
ever, are not the only thing old that
we like. We like al old bed, if it is
that while still soft and comforta bic
it is also shaped somewhat to the body,
which it supports at every point, yield
ing a degree of comfort which not the
finest of beds can afford when it is
new.
But it is SO with ali things old, that
are not too old, including habits. We
cling TO them so long as they give US
comfort, and we hate to change We
are creatures of habit, who would if
We could follow to the end along the
first comfortable rut we fall into, and
never look out above its sides And it
is well for US that our shoes wear out,
and that we have to buy new ones and
wear them; that we are in various
ways compelled to change; that we
are rooted out now and then and set
going anew.
And some of US profit by this
change. Once lifted out of the rut
we stay up on the plain, where there
is nothing to cramp us, and where we
can lay about freely in any direction
in accordance with our power. but

VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.
How They We're Won Over In is6S
with Pocket Handke rrhief
Promise

In 1865, when the revolution of ten
years in Cuba began. no volunteers
existed in Havana worthy of being
called such. There was only one old
regiment, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, and when Gov. Gen. Ler-
sundi. then of the island. tried TO com
plete this regiment he found the task
difficult of accomplishment on ac-
count of the prevailing unwillingness
to enlist. But just at this time, most
providentially for the relief of his
dilemma. some unknown hands coz
cred the walls of Matanzas, near Ea-
vana, with huge posters promising
each Spaniard his passage home and
the privilege of carrying away with
him whatever his pocket handkerchief
could contain in the event of his en-
listment.
The effect of this stimulus to the
tagging pulse of the public was cleo
trical, and the enrolment of $4,000
men followed within As hours. The
volunteers thus came into existence
with their chiefs in the majority. But
the ruined merchants OF ;he city of
Havana soon found out and objected
TO the newly risen power. This oppo-
sition increased upon the ARRIVAL in
Cuba of the new governor general
Dulce, who came in 1869 as representa-
tive of the revolutionary government
in Spain. He was a man of good faith.
empowered by the government to
grant Cuba all the reform she coveted
and that has lately been offered. He
would undoubtedly have put term to
the revolution, ayerting all the ruin
and devastation which followed. But
such an easy and magnanimous course
did not suit that class which faced in
evitable financial ruin as a conse-
quence of such policy.
