VEAL FOR A BULLFRoo.
Limited Only by Size Of Any Eatable
Object That Comes With
in Reach.

Many years ago when collect
ing birds in southern New Eng.
land, l shot on the salt marshes a
swallow, which fell in a shallow
pool in the marsh, says Forest and
Stream. My brother, who hap
pened to be standing near the
poc'. saw the bird fall and saw a
huge bullfrOg make two or three
sprawling leaps over the mud and
through the water and swallow
the bird. When l came up the
head of the bullfrog still remained
above water with the wings of the
swallow sticking out of the cor
ners of his mouth.
Recently a story was told me
10y a friend who resides at Flush
ing, r. l., of certain happenings on
a neighbours place. The neighbor
has some water inclosed in which
he keeps some domesticated wild
fowl, and not long ago, the OPP
portunity occurring to purchase
five gigantic bullfrogs, he intro
duced them into the water.
This spring, as 1t seemed a pos,
sibility that some of his wild
ducks could breed, an effort was
made to get rid of the frogs for
fear they might injure the duck.
lings, and three of them were
killed, but the other two could not
be found. Some time in May a fe
male pintail duck came off witt
three young ones which, after two
or three days, disappeared anC
were not seen again. A day OIL
two after tseir disappearance
the missing bullfrogs were seer
and killed. and in their stomach,
were found the remains of the lit
tie pitfalls. l fancy that there il
nothing living that a bullfrog will
not eat.

CRAZY QUILTS OF THE PAST
Fewer Examples Seen Nowadays Be-
cause Women Lack Neces-
sary Patience.

"Sewing machines and a dislike
for the tedious work of our grand
mothers and great-grandmothefa
are making scarcer each year
those creations of industrial
needlework Of our ancestors
declared one of the judges OF
needlework at the state fair re.
Gently, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
Strange to say, most of the
best work is contributed by ladies'
more than 60 years old. The work
of the later generations is put to,
gether in a more hurried manner
and lacks the signs of years and
years of tedious toll shown in the
exhibits of our mothers and
grandmothers. Most Of the work
sent in by the old ladies is of the
old type, in which both diligence
and the utmost patience are
called into play. There are beau
tiful tides, centerpieces and
handkerchiefs which represent
weeks and weeks of toll"
The evolution of needlework
can be seen in a trip through the
wOman's building. Perhaps the
most antique exhibit is an old
sampler which in the early days
wal a delight to the young needle.

THE ART OF CONVERSATION
Lost Among Americans, Who, as a
Rule, Neither Think Nor
Talk Well.

N
On the lost art of conversation
an essay of length might be writ
ten. The majority of us, when we
meet in social intercourse, says
Men and Women, instead of en-
tertaining ourselves by exchang
ing ideas, clothed in choice and ex-
pressiye words, chatter on the
trivialities of life, with as much
animation and as little sense as a
company of monkeys in an African
Jungle. We talk a little of the
latest book, statue or painting,
and a great deal of the latest
fashion, accident or scandal. Even
this sort of conversation is dying
out, and the hostess engages q
musician to amuse her guests, or,
more frequently, has recourse to
the gaming table for her enter
tainment.
1t is true that the attempt of
the average American to speak
clearly, critically and at length on
works of art, social or political sit
uations or the important events
of the day is generally attended
by dissatisfaction to his hearers,
and, occasionally, to himself. We
are too incident or too occupied
with the attaining of material
things to study out a problem for
ourselves; hence the opinions are
mainly second hand and the clev-
crest editorial writer is our or.
acle. "Come easy, go easy" says
the ancient proVerb, and its wis
dom may be applied to our un-
earned ideas as we'll as to our un
earned wealth. Appearances to
the contrary Notwithstanding, the
only possession we can truly call
our own is the one that we have
gained by hard and constant eff
fort; and we have seen even these
slip from our hands like water
from steel. Do not imagine that 4
hurried examination of the re
suits of the toiler in any field OF
intellectual effort gives you thu
fruit Of his endeayors. There is
no injustice in the court of knowl
edge. She ordains that eacf
shall delve and toll for her treas
ures, and he who will not worl
shall not know.
An aid to increase a persons
conversational powers is associa
ton with. those who are versed il
the art. This is possible for blu.
few, yet if he is deeply in earnes
he need not despair. Let him traii
himself to think accurately anC
clearly and strive to express hi
thoughts in well-chosen words
but devoid of every appearance o
affectation or effort. This is no
readily done, as he will find afte.
a trial, and when an occasion TO.
the test Of his ability offers and h.
finds himself apparently deprived
of speech he will think his effor
has been wasted. Let him not de
spair. He has set his feet towar,
a difficult height, but one that i
not unattainable.

The Winning Blow.

One Of the fayorite maxims Of
Gen. Grant, and one certainly in
accord with human nature, was
that in every closely contested
battle there comes a time when
both sides are exhausted. When
this condition arises, he said, the
army that first breaks the lull and
puts itself in motion is likely to
win. A blow then is worth a doz-
en- previous ones.

HAWAII TOO
INFLUENTIAL
DEMOCRATS SHOULD HAVE CON-
TESTED JOHN wIsE'S SIXTEEN
TO ONE DECISION.

The famous deciding vote of John
Wise of Hawaii, which carried the six
teen to one platform in the last Demo-
cratic national convention, is still a
subject of discussion on the mainland
The Washington Star confuses Wise
with Prince David who was also a
delegate and comments as follows
col. Guffey is figuring far too con-
spicuously in the anti-Parker calcula-
tions. He is a deserving man, and a
good politician, and in many things one
could wish him for an ally. But do the
opponents of Judge Parker really rely
upon him to turn the scale at st. Louis
with his Pennsylvania delegation in
their favor? Is it their idea that a
Democratic nomination made by dele
gates from a state where the average
Republican majority in a presidential
year is a quarter of a million or so
would be popular in debatable terri
tory? 1t is likely that this gossip is
circulating without Col. Guffey's APP
UrOval; that he is not girding up his
loins for a grand stand play at the ma
tional convention, but is going there to
take counsel rather than to lay down
the law
1.-THE democracy at Kansas CITY four
years ago permitted Hawaii, which had
no vote of any kind in the electoral
college, to decide the momentous ques-
ton of reafiirming the silver plank f
the Chicago platform. Prince David,
who was a member of the platform
committee, cast the deciding vote. The
wonder has always been that the mi
uority did not contest the matter with
greater vigor, and point out first to the
committee and then to the convehtiou
the unwisdom of permitting Hawaii to
saddle upon states like New YOck, New
Jersey, Indiana and Illinois a money
deliverance which n 1896 they had o52:-
whelmingly rejected.
Pennsylvania is not as small as Ha-
wall, but Il is of quite as little use to
the Democracy i'm a presidential elee-
ton"
