1t Is indeed singular what curious
articles enter largely into the trade of
a people like those of the United States.
While few years ago the French were
denOminated as the "frOg-eaters' of
Europe, it Is fact that the United
States now consume for food more than
twice as many frogs as did France In
the palmiest days of her frog -eating
history. The annual consumption Of
frogs In this country is put at not less
than 100000, which have a gross
value to the hunters of $4,000. while
as served for food they cost the people
not less than $15O,OOO. That frogs
diet can be seen by CHANGING through
the menu cards of any tirst-class res
taurant. especially during the fall and
winter months. when frogs are in their
prime. Only the hind legs are utilized
for food and the meat upon them is
white. delicate and wholesome. For
many years the markets Of the country
have been supplied from the marshes
Of California. Missouri. New York.
Maryland. Virginia. Ohio and Indiana.
New York furnishing the largest guam
tity Of any Of the States. The marshes
at the eastern extremity of Lake Erie
are the most prolific in their yield OF
frogs. In Ohio the Lewis and Grand
reservoirs are famous. while the valley
Of the Kankakee. in Indiana. is the par
adise of the frog hunter. As might be
supposed. the demand exceeds the sup
ply and unrestricted hunting of frogs
has diminished the stock in all the
| marshes that once promised an endless
supply. But SO profitable has the fur
nishing Of the market with frogs be

against the big stores has always been
that they undersell the small stores. a
