during the debate on tho Ship Subsidy
bill, III accordance with The Democratic

a quorum said: IL want to give notice

alton bills. Now, if this administration
wants an extra session and proposes to
obtain one by delaying everything by

to say that as long ss this debate lasts,

the Ship Subsidy bill was alluded to by
Senator Frye, as very amusing" and as
showing ''dense i~gnornnce" gave MIR.
Frye q scoring that he will not soon for

WAVE SAVES VESSELS.


Enterprises Between Two Ships and Pre-
vents a Collision.
Captain Burch of the British ship
Cawdor, which arrived late Sunday
night from Newcastle, N. S. W., tells
of a narrow escape his vessel had from
colllding near the Australian coast
with the schooner Golden Shore, says
the San Francisco Call, A hurricane
was raging when the ships nearly
came together and big wave which
came along at the opportune moment
averted a disaster. The Golden Shore
is owned in San Francisco and was
lumber laden. The Cawdor was in bah
last and a gale arose. In few hours
its fury became terrible. Capt. Burch
soon realized the folly of sailing in
such sea and every yard of canvas
was stripped from the masts. There
was nothing to do but drift, and this
the ship did for some time. Soon the
bare masts of the schooner Golden
Shore hove in sight, she also drifting
rapidly in the storm. AS the ships
neared one another their positions be-
came perilous. The terrified crews
were unable to control them and look
ed for nothing but tbs sinking of one
or both of the vessels. The Cawdor
bore straight down toward the big
schooner with force that meant des'
truction. But a few seconds more and
the vessels would have crashed togeth-
er had not something > occurred that
filled the sailors with wonder. A great
wave, as if conscience7stricken, rose
between the craft and turned the nose
of the Cawdor just enough to prevent
the crash that seemed unavoidable
She just missed the Golden Shore. So
close were the vessels as the ship fed
broadside by the schooner that one
could have jumped from the Cawdor
to the Golden Shore, Captain Burch
says. When the vessels slipped by one
another a cheer went up from 100
voices The Golden Shore drifted on,
but in the distance it was seen that
she had turned completely around. She
is bound for Puget Sound and is ex-
pected to arrive there shortly, after
which she will come to this port. 1t
is not known to what extent she suffer-
ed from the storm. The Cawdor was
uninjured.

FARM FOR FROGS.


Boston Men to Establish an Industry on
Large Scale.
Some Boston capitalists propose to
promote frog raising in the bay state
on a scale unprecedented in this coun-
try. An organization has recently
been formed, under the name of the
Massachusetts, Frog Company, and
land has been purchased for carrying
out the company's Undertaking. Artif-
cial ponds, varying in size and con-
nected by series of locks, are being
made for conducting the system Of
cultivation. They will be lined with
cement, and the smallest will be ten.
feet long and three feet in width. In.
these ponds the process of breeding
will take place, and at certain stages
of development the little creatures will
be transferred to ponds of greater di-
mansions. At the age of two years the
animals should reach maturity. The
food required for the frogs is of an ex-
tremely simple character. and will cost
very little, and it is expected that I'LL
timately the company's investment
will yield big returns. From 10000 to
10000 frogs will be grown annually,
and if it is deemed advisable the year
ly output will be increased to 100000.
While the product will be available for.
all the uses to which frogs may be put,
dead or alive, the principal demand is
expected to come from colleges and
medical schools. 1t is averred that In
the past such institutions have,
through their inability to procure de-
sirable specimens of the sort, been
seriously handicapped in the prosecu-
of experiments in medical research.
Schools in the east, for example, have
frequently been obliged during the
winter months to send to California
for the animals which, upon their ar
rival, have been unfit for analytical
study. The Massachusetts, frog breed
ers intend to remove the cause of all
this inconvenience by supplying frogs
in abundance the year round.

A Greek barber has opened a shop in
New York to make popular a new way
of cutting hair. He uses shears only
for trimming the hair over the ears
and at the back of the neck. For cut
ting the long hair he uses very sharp
razor. He runs the hair through a
fine comb and slices it of to the right
length. He saysthat this method not
only cut the hair evenly, but also re-
moves all dead hairs. Moreover, he al
leges that 1t is twice as quick as the
old way.

Success tells about an energetic IA
year-old boy named Thomas Mintzer,
of Conshohocken, Pa, who has learned
how to make money in an unusual way.
About four months ago Tommy called
on the employees of the, different mills
about town, offering to carry their
meals for 15 cents week. AS many of
the mills are running night and day.
his offer included suppers as well as
dinners The boys offer was promptly
accepted AS first he employed toy
express wagon drawn by goat. After
ward he got a large push cart, which
he fitted up with shelves. Then he had
to hire a horse and wagon, his custom
ers numbering 1870. Tommy starts out
with the dinners OF those who are
farthest away at II a. m. He makes
a second delivery at 11:45, and third
at 1905. His weekly collections aver
age $3.50, and as he pays $3.50 for the
use of the horse and wagon, this leaves
SIS clear. which is more than some OF
the mill hands earn.
