Of the cover and all the SO pages will

three splendid stories; Easter Poem:

ments, Acquiring an Education; Piano
Lessons; Voice Culture; Art Embroi-
derry; Mothers Meetings. Fashions;
Recipes; Puzzles, etc The two Sc
lections of vocal and instrumental
music are the popular kind that all
VIII appreciate. This feature alone
is worth more than the full years sub
scription price. Conkey's Home Jour
nal IS handsomely printed, the illustra-
tons and general matter are unexcel-
led, and it is wonder that the pub
fishers can give so much for the sub
scription price, which is only 80 cents
per year.

THE TRAFFIC IN FROGS.
Ninnesots Leads in the Production of
This Table Delicacy-Industry of
Recent Origin.

st. Paul and Minneapolis are the larg--
est frog markets in the world The total
receipts for the past year from the frog
catchers OF the state exceeded 100000 doz-
en-, requiring the slaughter of no less than
5.0Jo.0oJ frogs. Five years ago the frogs
were shipped out of Minnesota. Now the
business amounts to upwards of SlOOOOJ a
year. A wonderful industry has grown
up in St. Paul and Minneapolis in supply
ing the United States with frog legs
Frogs are found in other states, of course.
In the South the supply Will probably
never become exhausted, but there are no
frogs like the Minnesota product for the
epicure. This is attributed to the clear.
cool water which is found in Minnesota's
1900 lakes in which the frogs live and
have their nests.
Frog legs are purchased all through the
state by shippers from the two cities. and
this occupation gives employment to more
than 100 families. who make a good living
the year round. The professional frog
catcher can tell frog pond at a glance
and they can locate the frog nests and Sc
cure the greatest number In a surprisingly
short space of time.
Acknowledgement frogs are known the
world over for their delicacy of flavor.

RrNEHARr.s INDIAN PICTURES.

In the summer of 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians In this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
poni-s and tepees and gaudiest trap
ping, ~ the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized. but
the s-Nater portion picturesque In
original savagery. Strange as it may
seem at this late day many of the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha Iaey had no idea what multi
tudes of white men there were or how
hopeless It was to try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that SO ccnplete and spectacular a
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and those who had the
privilege OF witnessing 1t are to be
counted fortunate. At the time of the
Indian Congress a prominent pho
tographer obtained permission to take
the photographs OF the most noted
chiefs present and succeeded N obtain
ing collection which never will be
equaled. Mr.. RjneAart. the photograrh-
er, copyrighted all these pictures and
placed in few art stores some hand

these engines has been eminently sat

engines which provide ample power
for the entire line in addition to what
