SHAKESPEARE AND THE LAW.

Lord Campbell once wrote a little
book, called shakespeare Legal Ac-
quirements," to prove that the poet
was at one period of his life lawyers
clerk. Shakespeare's frequent and
exact use of legal terms is undeniable,
and it is one of the matters of evil
dence pressed in favor of the theory
of the plays having been written by
Lord Bacon; but Shakespeares latest
and most careful biographer, Mr.. Sid
ney Lee, gives no countenance to Lord
Campbell's conjecture. He thinks the
poets legal requirements attribut-
able in part to Shakespeare observa-
ton of the many legal processes in
which his father was involved in the
days of his declining fortunes at STRAIT
ford, together with his own business
experience as manager of the Globe
Theater and in part to early inter-
course with members of the Inns of
Court. A knowledge of law was then
considered an essential part of the
education of gentleman, and most
young men of birth and family on
leaving the university entered them
selves at some Inn of Court Legal
Technology and legal metaphors
thus became fashionable currency,
and they abound not only in Shakes
peare, but in all the plays and poems
of the time. The knowledge and ex-
actness which make them so remark
aDle in Shakespeare is only part of the
power and fidelity with which that
marvellous mind seized and reproduced
every variety of life and character,
whether it was the points of a horse
or a hawk, the patriotism of Brutus,
the secrets of a woman's heart, or the
majesty and power of law and justice.

A FROG RANCH.
I'm California. Where Ten Thousand
Cronkers Make the Night
HiEeOus.

It is at Siege, a little station about 20
ranch is located, named after the first
owner of the land roundabout. The
Siege ranch extends from the bay shore
up to the ridge of the coast range of
mountains, which incloses both shores
of San Francisco bay. In the lower
portions of the ranch great number
of springs gush out of the soil in
copious volumes. It was the springs
that determined the first location of the
ranch. The site, overlooking an ex-
pansive view of the beautiful bay, was
capable of vast improvement. A dozen
acres, inclosing the springs, were sur
rounded with a hedge of cypress. The
grounds were laid out with taste, and
soon presented the rare beauty incident
to the profuse vegetation of semi
tropical climate. Three ponds were
formed by combining the waters of the
flowing springs, some acres in extent,
and stocked with frogs. A fence, high
enough to prevent the escape of the in
mates, surrounded each, and the ponds
were filled with aquatic plants and
MOSES. Then frogs were placed in the
ponds, and from the original stock the
increase has been so great that, though
thousands are sent to market yearly,
the Withdrawals have no sensible effect
upon the vast numbers remaining. Frog
ranching is not unlike cattle raising.
There are one, two, three or four-year-
Odds, though the successful frog raiser
will always keep the young ones sep
arate and apart from the full-grown,
which are cannibals of the first rank.
and eat all which are not able to pro-
tect themselves. The four-year-olds
are considered ripe for the market,
though the gourmand in frogs prefers
those that are year or two younger.
A frogs life is IL years. There are some
of that age at Siege. They are of mon
strous growth, being IA inches in
length, and weighing as much as four
pounds.
In California, as in colder climates,
frogs hibernate in winter, and in the
spring emerge after their long sleep
emaciated to the last degree. Then
they are fed with mixtrue of oatmeal
and blood, and again at the spawning
season, but only for short time. They
are, most of the time, self-sustaining,
feeding upon the insects which they
cleverly catch.
Like most creatures of the animal
world, frogs are capable of affection for
their keeper, and demonstrate it by
coming at call and allowing themselves
to be handled. showing much delight in
being stroked.' Placed upon the ground
they readily follow their mistress for
a long distance. At night the noise
made by the 10000 frogs, which, it is
estimated, are contained in the three
ponds, is tremendous.-Co Golfers Weekly
