According to an estimate of
the United States fish commits
sion, 100000 frogs are annually
caught for the market in this
country and the sum paid out to
the hunters each year is about
100000. The United States con-
sumes five times as many frog
legs as France, and the industry
is becoming of such Importance
that the fish commission has long
been considering various plans
for the artificial breeding of frogs
for the market.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


There Is one class of citizens In
Cleveland that is always cool, no mat
Ter how warm the rays from the sun
may make their neighbors feel. In the
warm spells the Chinese residents of
the city are never heard to complain,
and while all other nationalities seem
ed to be represented in the reports of
deaths and heat victims the Celestial
alone seemed to possess immunity.
His coolness Is due to the fact that
he Inns an antidote for the heat In the
shape OF tea from his native land. and
he knows how to take It. The hotter
the day the warmer will be the tea
which he drinks In unstinted quanti-
ties.
One Of the followers OF Confucius
who has an extended reputation for his
dexterity In mixing chop sooy for the
cultivated taste OF actors and people
with Thespian tastes explained the
reason why none Of his people ever
suffer with heat He also said that
during the hot weather none OF his
people ever eat any meat. and even the
odor Of yokomai has no temptation for
him. The philosophy Of the Chinaman
Is that the abstinence from meat and
the indulgence in the boiling tea act in
conjunction to keep him from feeling
the heat. The tea is supposed not only
to relieve all thirst. but to induce a
perspiration that in turn brings about
lower temperature.
The Cbinaman also eschews any at
tempt at bathing during the heated
season and declares that this also con-
tributes to his general chilly tempera-
ture. He never hampers himself with
extra clothes and above all has never
learned to read n thermofneter.-Cleve

of labor in the United States.
For example, out of 22,735,66
people ten years of age and over
engaged in gainful occupations in
1890, 1896, 534, or more than one
third, were engaged in agricult-

entire body of agricultural work

farm wages by the month, by the

the basis of the rate of wages
with board month in a year,
gains ranging from z to 10 per

states of Minnesota, Wisconsin,

EXPOSITION CLOSES.

tractors Lose $1,OOO,OOO.

Buffalo, n. Y, Nov. 4.-Standing at
the triumphal bridge at midnight Sat
urday, John G. Milburn pressed an
electric button which extinguished
the lights 1T the Pan-American exposi-
ton. Bands played and thousands
cheered as the lights faded to red
glow and then to darkness. Around
Mr.. Milburn were the men and women
who, as managers, investors and en-
ployes, had worked for the success OF
the fair, only to see it result in loss
of over $4,OOO,OOO.
The total attendance, exclusive of
farewell day, was s,179,674, which in
cluded passes. How far this fell be-
low the expectations of the EXPOSE
ton promoters may be judged from
the fact that the exposition paid pre-
miums on blanket accident policy
on 100000 paid admissions for the
season. Many wagers were made
that the attendance would exceed 16,-
100000, and others that it would ex-
coed 25,00O,00O and 3O,OOO,OOO.

up the buildings will lose $1,OOO,0o0
because the fair had no assets to paw
their claims. Concession holders lost
money, with two or three exceptions,
and several were ruined. The notable
money-maker was the cyclorama of

scorned by investors, which closes the
season 100000 to the good.

New York, Nov. 5.-President and

an hour and 20 minutes behind sched-
ule time. The party remained in New

He will remain scarcely more than
an hour in Oyster Bay, returning in

The president was in excellent spirits
and enjoyed to degree the little re-
spite from official exactions. He spent
most of the trip from Washington
chatting jovially with the rest of his
party or on the observation platform
of his car. Owing to the care with
which the exact itinerary of the trip

against attack by France and sug-
gests that Great Britain should send
squadron to the Levant for that
purpose"
Washington, Nov. 5.-While mani
Testing deep interest in the French
naval demonstration in Turkish wa
tiers, officials of the administration are
of the opinion that European politics
are responsible for the action of the
Paris government. No official infor-
nation concerning the purposes of
France has been communicated to the
state department.. The fact that
American interests are not affected
by the incident is responsible for the
failure of American agents to cable
news of developments in the Franco
Turkish question. The same reason
has prevented the dispatch of war;
ships to Turkey, though the European
squadron is in Italian waters, avail
able for duty in the Levant should its
presence be needed there. While
American interests will be placed in
no danger by the demonstration, Curl
osity is naturally felt as to the real OBJ
| ject of the move.
France undoubtedly has the sup
port of Russia. German interests in
northern Syria are important, and if
France attempts to establish a pro-
tectorate over that region, as report
ed, the Berlin government will I'M
doubtedly resent it. 1t is also sug-
gested that protectorate would
menace British interests in the Suez
canal. The suggestion that the
French demonstration is directed
against Germany or Great Britain are
received with incredibly in diplomatic
circles. Confession is made by diplo-
mats and officials that the French
movement is confusing, and they are
awaiting with some Impotence devel'
opments which will show the real mo.
tive inspiring it.

CALL TO GIVE THANKS.
President Roosevelt Issues His First
National Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation.

Washington, Nov. 4. President
Roosevelt Saturday issued his procla-
nation fixing Thursday, November %,
as day of national Thanksgiving. It
follows:
A PROCLAMATION.
"The season is nigh when. according to
the time-hallowed custom of our people.
the president appoints DAY as the espe-
cial occasion for praise and thanksgiving
to God
This thanksgiving finds the people still
bowed with sorrow for the death of a
great and good president We mourn
President Mckinley because we so loved
and honored him; and the manner of his
death should awaken in the breasts of our
people keen anxiety for the country, and
at the same time resolute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the path
of strong, orderly, popular liberty which
as nation we have thus far safely trod.
Yet in spite of thisygreat disaster, it Is
nevertheless true that no people on earth
have such abundant cause for thanksgiving
as we have. The past year in particular
has been one of peace and plenty. We
have prospered in things material and have
been able to work for cur own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let us
remember that, as much has been given
us, much will be expected from US; and
that true homage comes from the heart as
deeds. We can best prove our thankful
ness to the Almighty by the way in which
on this earth and at this time each of us
does his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt.
president of the United States. do hereby
designate as a day of general thanksgiving.
Thursday, the 18th of this present Novem-
Der, and 90 recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their wonted
occupations, and at their several homes
a Hr,to ~
Giver of all good for the countless bless
ingS of our national life.
I'm witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

LED BY BoTHA.
sonnlly Engaged in the Recent
Battle with British.

Pretoria, Nov. 4.-Further details
have been received regarding the at
tack by the Beers under Commandment
General Louis Botha last week upon
Col. Benson's column near Braken-
laagte, eastern Transvaal. 1t appears
that Gen. Botha, who had been joined
by another big commando aggregat-
ing thousand men, attacked Col
Benson's rear guard October 80 on
the march, and captured two guns.
but was unable to retain them. Col.
Benson fell mortally wounded early
in the fight. Maj. Wools-Sampson
took command, collected the convoy
and took up a position for defense
about 500 yards from entertainments
prepared by the Beers. The captured
guns were so situated that neither
side could touch them. The Beers
made desperate efforts to overwhelm
the whole British force, charging re-
peatedly right up to the British lines
and being driven back each time with
heavy loss. The defense was stub
bornly and successfully maintained
through the whole of the following
day and the succeeding night, until
Col. Barter, who had marched all
night from Bushman's kop, brought
relief in the morning of November I.
The Beers then retired. Their losses
are estimated between 800 and 400.
Col. Benson did not long survive. Not
only did Gen. Botha direct the at
tack, as already cabled, but he per-
sonally shared in the fighting.
