OF the average leg of lamb found in
the markets.
The frog much resembles man in
his general makeup, and many other
respects, and from the fon1ness boys
have for the water, it might be more
reasonably supposed that man was ev-
Diluted from the frog than the mon
key. This theory would dispense
with the missing link and the lost tail
which havo so bothered scientists.
Another thing in favor of this theory
-is-rhat a frog deprived of its brains
will go on living automatically, as it
were. That such was the case with
men a long time ago is proven by
Shakespeare, who wrote: "The time
has been, that when the brains were
out, the man would die, and there an
end" and that such is the case now,
there is ocular evidence every day in

as we'll as my brother of Stanford Uni
versity, who has made a considerable
study of the conditions of the eastern
oyster industry in San Francisco bay.
Besides covering the bottom of an
improvised pond with clean shells and
placing various floating collections,
there will be constructed along the
side flume about six feet wide and
four feet deep, through which a cur.
rent of water will be kept running by
means of a propeller. This will serve
to keep the water in the bay in circu-
lation, and various devices will be
placed IN the flume to serve as col.
lectors.
"On the shore, near the laboratory,
series OF large tanks will be erected,
through which the sea water will be
pumped day and night. Into the up
permOst of these millions OF swimming
embryos will be placed, which are eas.

the eggs, and throughout the series
ample provision will be made for their
possible attachment. There will also
be placed in the outer bay large silk

used by oystermen for storing their
oysters, in which other experiments
along the same lines will be conducted

FROGS FOR THE MARKET.
Plan to Raise Them in Oregon Some Obser-
vations on Frogs.

Portland Oregonian.
Frog legs are always in demand in
this market, as we'll as in other cities,
but as Nature supplied Oregon only
with small varieties of frogs, the great
majority of the legs used here are i'm
ported from Chicago. There are some
40 species of frogs known to scientists
and epicures, and frog farming, now
becoming an established nayine
business in many parts of this coun-
try, is likely soon to be established
here. Canadian frogs are held to pro-
duce the choicest legs, but this is said
to be due to a superior method of pre-
pairing them for market. Fine, large
frogs are produced in the marshes
along the Potomac, and in the swamps
OF New York and Michigan, but the
giant believer OF the Louisiana
swamps which often attains weight
of four pounds and has voice like a
basso, is the largest of all.

The Little Church Round the Corner

| inc lIttie Nhufcn k0und the Corner.
In 1870 the veteran actor, George
Holland, died in New York. and Mrs
Hollands sister desired the funeral to
be held at her own church. Mr.. Jo-
seph Jefferson, as an old friend of the
family, went to the minister with one
of Hollands sons, young George, who
is to be the manager of Henry Green.
wallis Grand Opera House Stock Com
pany in New Orleans next season.
Mr.. Jefferson told the rector that his
friend was an actor, and the rector re.
piled that under the circumstances he
should have to decline holding the
services at the church. TIL" boy was
in tears at such reply. Mr.. Jeffer-
son was too indignant to say q word,
but as they left the room he paused
and asked if there was any other
church from which his friend might
be buried. The rector replied that
there was little church around the
corner where it might be done. Mr..
Jefferson said: "Then if this be so,
God bless 'the little church around
the corner" From that time forth
Rev. DR.. Houghton's church bore
that famous appellation. The follow
ing lines were written at the time of
the funeral by Mr.. A. E. Lancaster, a
popular dramatist:
"Bring him not here, where our sainted feet
Are treading the path to glory;
Bring him not here. where our Saviour sweet
Repeats for US his story.
Go. take him where such things' are done
For he sat in the seat of the sooner
To where they have room, for we have none.
To that little church round the corner"
So spake the holy man of God,
Of another man, his brother,
Whose cold remains, ere they sought the sod.
Had only asked that Christian rite
Might be read above them by one whose light
Was, Brethren. love one another;'
Had only asked that prayer might be read
Ere his flesh went down to join the dead.
whilst his spirit looked. with suppliant eyes,
Searching for God throughout the skies;
But the priest frowned mo-" and his brow was
bare
Oflove In the sight Of the mourner;
And they looked for Christ and found him
wherei
In "that little church round the corner"
Ah, welll God grant, when with aching feet
We tread life's last few PAGES,
That We may hear some accents sweet
And kiss to the end, fond faces!
God grant that this tired flesh may rest
(Mid many musing mourncr),
While the sermon is preached and the rites are
read.
In no church where the heart of love is dead,
And the pastor pious prig at best.
But in some small nook where Gods confessed
Some "little church round the corner"
