Bats and Where to Find Them.

Frogs are most plentiful on the
shores Of ponds and streams filled with
plant growth and in low moist places
in meadows In searching for them in
grass wait till you see one jump, then
catch it in your hands, They are not so
easily got from the shores, as they
are apt to take to the water at the first
alarm.
Crabs are usually found under stones
along the shores Of stream or pond,
and in some localities in low moist
places in grass lands. Seize the crab
back of the pinchers and it cannot nip
you
Dobsons are only found under messy
stones in swift running waters. They
are of dark gray color, have many
legs. and when fully grown are about
three inches long The head is shield
shaped and armed with good stout pin
GERS, SO handle the dobson as you would
crab. The best way to get supply of
dobsons is to have some one hold one
edge of a fine meshed net on the bot
tom of the stream, while you turn over
the stones above the net with a hoe.
The dobsons loosing their hold on the
bottom, will be carried by the current
into the net. Put frogs. crabs and dob
sons into pail with plenty of grass and
some water If you are to keep them for
some time, change the water occasion
ally.
Grubs are excellent bait for trout ear
ly in the season They are found in par.
TALLY decayed tree trunks, stumps and
old timbers left in moist places Cut
into the wood with an ak, and if you
find it full Of holes of the size of lead
pencil knock it to pieces and pick out
the grubs. Put them in a tin bait box
with some Of the rotten wood you found
them in Harper Round Table.

A Curious Lion Story.

When lions were still numerous and
easily observed in southern Africa, they
were sometimes seen instructing one an
other in voluntary gymnastics and prao-
ticing their leaps. making bush play
the part Of the absent game. Motfat
tells the story of lion, which had
missed zebra by mlscalculatlng the
distance, repeating the jump several
times for his own instruction Two or
his comrades coming upon him while he
was engaged in the exercise, he led
them around the rock to show them how
matters stood, and then, returning to
the starting point, completed the lesson
by making final leap The animals
kept roaring during the whole of the
curious scene, talking together, as
