A species of bird-eating frog infests

proved destructive 20 young chickens,
saws the New York Press
\ few days since a farmer named
Wainwright, OF Herrick, had his atten-
ton called TO the bird-ea.ing propen-
sity Of this species OF frog by the cries
Of q small bird in n nearby swamp.
Thinking it had been seized by snake,
be FASTENED 10 the spot, and saws beau

Of large. grocnish frog. Only the
birds head was visible. aud its cries be-
coming fainter, the frog was killed and
the bird released. Its feathers were
an wet and Shiny. and for some days

den 10y its ruflled plumage.
Since then others Of the same species
Of frog have. on several occasions, been
killed with young chickens half swal-
lowed. and once ducklihg was rescued
from the same fate.
The frogs make a clucking sound so
nearly like that Of hen calling her
chickens for food that whole hroods
have been deceived and have rushed
toward the swamp. where they supposed
the lien to be. The frogs are wary
and it is difficult 20 find them except

swILE HUNTING.
The s'clSeninE sight Presented by tic
Slaughter of the Oung New

In Newfoundland a seal is, In COM
mon speech, u ''swile," and great is the
slaughter when, on the 18th of March,
all the world goes out to kill the poor
little brown-eyed creature. Then be-
gins q carnival of cruelty and blood
shed, too sickening to be considered
ualess one can somehow effect a re-
form, says the Youths Companion.
The destruction Of the baby seals be-
gins without prelude, while their mis-
cradle mothers stand moaning by; and
the whimpering of the babies yet TO be
slaughtered sounds strangely and
awfully like that of the human young
But the effect on the seal hunters ta
evidently not that of hardening their
hearts. AS a famous writer says;
Cruel sports do not make cruel peo-
pie, and apparently cruel occupations
do not, for to his own kind the seal
hunter is full of gentleness and human
ity. But on one man, at least, this
sarnage had an effect which 1t should
reasonably have upon them all.

casional report to the "old man." as

gratitude OF the stockholders of the
