A Strange Malady.

A strange malady is going the rounds
Of north Alabama. says the Atlanta
Constitution. 1t Is some kind OF a
germ which is attacking the ear drum
of the people, causing risings and alb
cesses, which prove very painful and
troublesome. In Birmingham many
people have been attacked by this NAL
ady and much suffering has been heard
Of. Gov. Joseph +. Johnston has been
detained at his home in this city dur
ing the past week with trouble in his
ears and physicians had to attend him.
Mr.. John w. O'Neill, the popular pres
ident of the Birmingham board OF
trade, is now suffering agonies with the
pain in both ears. There are many
other people troubled in the same way.
The germ seems to come with the least
warning and the pain that follows can
only be allayed little until the rising
either bursts on it's own accord or an
operation has been performed, when
the pain ceases and the patient recov'
ers. So far the disease has not proven
fatal, though it has given the people
whom 1t has attacked considerable
pain.

Exchange Children for Outings.

There is pretty custom in vogue in
Denmark which might with advantage
be copied here. During the summer
holidays an arrangement is made by
which little Danes from town and
country change places. The parents OF
town children send their little folks Oh
to the country, and receive in ex-
change country children. The result
is that the town children are strength
ened and gladdened with country all
sights, while the little rustics enjoy
the pleasures of town life, and the fes-
rivals which are for their benefit. This
exchange system results in 10000 chill
dren from Copenhagen getting coun'
try holiday, and another 10000 are
frightened up by visit to tho Danish
capital.

Padding Is Beneficial.

People who frequent the many bath
ing beaches about Chicago have often
noticed the number of people who
merely paddle" in the water instead
Of swimming about. Speaking of the
practice a well known physician says:
"My own experience, extending over
some thirty years is that the practice
is most beneficial. The children love
it, and a child who has once padded
when at the seaside always Graves to
do it again. have no idea on what
grounds the medical objection is bas-
ed. but for some reason or other the
prohibition is strongly impressed on
the parents"

Prince will Go Armed.

he prince of Wales, while abroad
this year, will, 1t is said, always GO
armed as well as guarded by the usual
detectives. Since the recent attack up
on his life the prince has awakened
to the necessity of renewed precaution
and, as he is first-rate pistol shot, an
encounter with a would-be assassin
would not now be so one-sided as has
hitherto been the case.

THEY CATCH FROGS.
Industry Of Considerable Importance On
the Shores of Oneida Lake.

Industry Of Considerable Importance On
the Shores of Oneida Lake.
Among a class Of people residing
along the shores OF Oneida lake in the
vicinity of Upper South bay the in
dustry of hunting frogs is surpassed in
importance only by that OF fishing.
Frogs legs and fish go together in
making up an appetizing meal at many
of the Oneida lake summer hotels, and
killing frogs and catching fish are kim
dred pursuits. In this manner a score
of Oneida lake longshoremen make a
livelihood. The frog business, how
ever, is comparatively new. During a
greater part of the season frogs are
found in marshy places along the lake
shore. A frog hunter sometimes uses
spear. but more often a long, stout
club. The club has fiat end, and one
we'll directed blow will add another
frog to the collection in the hunters
basket. During the summer months
frogs are found on high ground, hav-
ing migrated from the boys bordering
the lake. Hay fields are a favorite
abiding place for them In summer, and
1t is no unusual sight to see frog
hunter following a moving machine
and aiming blows at frogs that arc
exposed to view as the grass falls. In
the southeastern part of the state
there are inclosed frog farms with ar
tificial ponds. Here frogs are raised
for the New York city market. While
central New York cannot yet boast OF
a real frog farm, an Oneida lake man
is proprietor of something closely re-
sembling such an institution. The
Oneida lake man has large yard on
his premises inclosed by tight board
fence. In the yard are thousands OF
fine looking frogs. They were picked
up along the lake shore last spring be-
fore they had awakened from a stupor
brought on by few days of cold
weather. The owner of this collection
Of frogs Is able to fill orders from no.
tel proprietors for fresh frogs legs
promptly. BY going into the yard with
a lantern at night as many frogs as
are required may easily be picked up
by hand, providing the collector is
careful to make no noise. Frogs legs,
after being dressed. are left on Ice
for day or more to make them good
for eating. Twenty or twenty-five
cents pound is the price usually paid
by Oneida lake hotel proprietors.
