E.e.ps Of tb. soot..d rro..

Standing on the floor of the Aquari-
um's laboratory. a long room on the
second floor Of the big building. there
is bunch OF plants OF rather large
size. In ordinary red clay flower pots
of foot or so In height. In a glass
Jar on a table at the other end of the
room lived the green-spotted frog.
Life in glass prison was doubtless
pretty tiresome for the frog, which
must have greatly longed. II frogs ever
long for anything. for its native
marshes. or something as closely ap-
proximating them as might be attain
able. 1t could see down the long room
the green plants; aud about a week
ago the frog jumped out of its prison
"a jump Of three times its own length
LANDED on the hard floor without in
Jury, and made Its way to the plants,
Where 1t has since remained, wander
Ing at its will. The plants are watered
daily. and the earth in the pots is
therefore damp and to the frogs
fancy. The animal is perhaps now as
happy as a frog can be under the cir
cumstances, and is certainly happier
and nearer to nature than it was in
the big glass jar.-New York Sun.

SEVERAL ExPOSITIONS
or an International Character 10 Follow
Paris,

According to reports from different
countries number of international
exhibitions will follow soon after the
close of the great exposition OF Paris.
In Belgium an exposition is projected
for 1905. and it is expected that the
preliminary works will be shortly un-
dertaken. Upon the close Of the Uni
versal Exposition Of 1900 American ex-
hibitors contemplate proposing the
opening OF a technical fair in Russia,
either at St. Petersburg or Moscow, at
which their metallurgical products
may be displayed. The English have
also favored the holding of an expo
sition at Moscow and announce their
intention of sending there exhibits of
their skill in the manufacture of ma
chinery. Unwilling to remain idle at
moment Of such industrial activity,
the Germans have started a movement
among all the chambers of commerce
throughout the empire for the purpose
of organizing an international exposi-
tion In Germany. More than so cham
bers Of commerce in that country have
signified their intention to cooperate
in the project.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

in Leslie's Weekly. THE ugly girl
who begins her career at the same

the beauty, has the advantage of work

obscurity-that is. she has no unfa-
vorable Impressions to efface from
the public mind, because 1t has never
even noticed her struggling up. step

Finally, the chance that is worth

There are hundreds Of men In Eu-
rope. said a retired oficer of long ex-
perience in intelligence work. who
make an excellent living by prying
into the secrets of war developments Of
other countries. and they are such e1-
perts In disguises and such past mas.
ters in artifices and cautions that 1t is
one OF the most difficult things in the
world to detect them. The following
are several incidents which have come
under his personal observations. A
short time ago an invalid German
made his appearance at Gibraltar. arm
ed with the best OF credentials and in
Productions. He had come in search
OF health. and certainly his appearance
lent plausibility to his story. He was
a singularly charming man and was
entertained by some OF the best people
In the place. After little time he ap-
piled for permission to take the air
on top Of the Rock; and. although this
is against the regulations. an exception
was made in favor of such a harmless
and interesting invalid. After a time
the genial German disappeared and
took with him a budget Of plans and
photographs OF the English defenses.
which are now in the archives OF a
rival nation. Who, again. would look
for dangerous spy In a charwoman?
/ And yet no spy ever did more useful
work for France than an asthmatic old
lady whose duty it was to sweep the
offices of the German embassy at Paris.
This enterprising old lady was always
af har Wnrk nj ~ IN ho
ing, and her first duty was to empty all
the waste paper baskets and coat pock-
cts, to ransack drawers and annex any
used pieces OF blotting paper. The spoil
was cunningly slowed away in a re-
ceptacle in her dress, and a few hours
later was regularly handed over to
French spy. in whose pay she was.
One Of the cleverest spies of recent
years was undoubtedly an ex-Prussian
lieutenant. whom we will call Herr
l.. His duty was to discover as many
OF the secrets of the French war office
as possible, and for many years he
spent most of his time in France,
adopting wide range OF clever dis
guises to disarm suspicion. At one
time he would be an American tourist,
at another an Italian. an Alsatian or a
Russian: for. like all successful spies.
he was an expert linguist and actor.
Eight years ago Herr l. was anxious
to witness the maneuvers OF the
French army and to compass this he
assumed the uniform OF an artillery
regiment, at that time stationed some
hundreds Of miles from the scene of
the maneuvers. In this character he
was admitted within the French lines,
was entertained by the French officers
and every facility was given him for
witnessing the movements of the army
1t is needless to say that, under such
favorable conditions, he collected
much useful information and not few
secrets which were very welcome to
his employers. At another time Herr
l. secured an engagement as coach
man for n French official, whose duty
1t was to inspect military roads and
defenses. and he accompanied his mas
ter on long tours OF inspection, which
furnished some very valuable additions
to the secret service records OF Ger
many.

during this season. The officers are
popular with every one, and this is the
boat to support. II Capt. Cummins is
encouraged he will keep boat in the
trade all summer, and there will be no
more ineonVenieDces like the business
men had to contend with last summer
when there was no boat for several
weeks in the Bends. 1t should not be
forgotten by the business men of New
Orleans that Captain Cummins did not
ask for any bonus of $500 week from
them, but only asked for their support
and good will, which they guaranteed
TO give, and they should stick to their
agreement by supporting this boat, or
they may be caught in the same fix
the coming summer as they were last
summer, with no boat in the trade and
their business being diverted to some
other place. 1t is nothing but right
aud justice that this boat should be
given the support of the business
houses of New Orleans.

but there has been no morning mail

Charley, the old reliable, gets in, which
shows that there is no advantage over
the old route. Iu the summer time,
when the roads are good, it is much

report all violators of the law for pro-

ing fixed to allow Police Juries time
