Frogs STOPPED Train.

Who at first thought would suppose
that few frogs could stop monster
freight engine and train of cars. The
little hoppers actually accomplished
this feat couple Of miles east of
Waseca after the shower Thursday
evening. The wheels on engine No.
500 in from the east suddenly COM
enced to slip round and round on the
rails until the train came to stand
still and investigation showed the
cause to be mangled bodies of hun
dreds of frogs upon the rails. Before
the train could be started again the
crew had to clear the rails Of frogs
and put on lot Of sand. -Waseca

A MOtherly Cat.

The 14-year- old son of Mrs. Palmer
who resides at Waverly Junction, has
originated queer relationship. Some
time ago the old tabby cat gave birth
to two kittens. Some days later the
boy was out in a grove and found
three young rabbits. He took the
rabbits and gave them over to the
care of the cat, and she has mothered
the little rabbits as we'll as though
they were her own offspring, and they
seem to be perfectly contented with
the care they are receiving. -Waverly

A Sensible Lie.

The following is probably lie but
it is a pretty fair one: A young
woman living at Odebolt firted with
a middle aged travelling mar who
at once took a walk with the frisky
young woman. AS they rambled on
he questioned her as to the location of
her home and when she showed him
the house. asked her to take him in,
but she refused, saying she did not
want her mother to see her with a
stranger. But the travelling man in
sisted on going in, and before she
could demonstrate he seized her by
the arm and had hurried her up the
front steps to the door. An elderly
woman responded to the summons.
The travelling man inquired if she
was the mother of the girl at his side.
Receiving an affirmative reply, the
stranger gently led the girl into the
hall and turning to the mother said A.:
Madam your daughter firted with
me on the street this evening and I
have brought her home to you. She
does not look like bad girl, and she
is altogether too young and pretty to
be on the street alone at night. /
have daughter Of my own about her
age, and would thank any man for
doing what have done tonight, and
so would her mother. Take good care
Of your daughter don't let her walk
the streets at night, and teach her the
evils of flirting. "-Ex.

what They Eat.

Nearly every nation has Its own par
tcular form Of food, and things which
some races would not, as the express
sion goes, touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest
luxury.
For instance, while the Arab eats his
lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
Of fresh dates, the Greenlander gOrges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means Of keeping
warmth in his body. Hindoos Will not
touch any form Of flesh, but live happi-
ly on rice and rancid butter, An Eng
Mshman is supposed to value beef and
bacon above all other articles of food,
while the jewellers in the Apennines
live on chestnuts. In ancient days the
Roman emperors were accustomed to
have a peacock served at all great
feasts as one of the principal dainties,
while in these days birds nests and
rats form choice dishes In a Chinese
menu.
Some people say that snail soup is
delicious, while the French assure you
that there are few more delicate dishes
than those made out Of frogs legs.

As to Steel Trust Profits.

Some new light may be shed on the
affairs and methods Of the United
States Steel corporation by the action
whach has just been begun by Alfred
r. Stevens of Newark, N. j., to discov-
or why dividends are denied to holders
ef the company's common stock, 1t
appears that MIR. Stevens is acting from
matter Of principle rather than from
any great financial interest he has. for
1t b said that he owns only twenty
sA4ares OF the common stock. He claims
t21se sec, 000, 900 surplus hos accumHlat.
- since the United States Steel coEpo-
rAaAan was formed in 1901 and that the
steekholders' dividends were reduced In
0pssber last and IN January this year
stapped entirely. He asserts that the
eehsars have by their action violated
tas terms Of the corporations charter
ana decreased the market value ot the
coRAnon stock. In his bill he alleges
that the earnings of-the company were
greatly in excess of.the amount earned
IN 1901, when the regular dividend. at
tAas Eate of per cent per annum, was
declared quarterly
Ank Stevens insists that there 10 q
twesold object in his suit-to learn why
the corporation stopped payments on
the common stock and what 10 to be-
come OF the see, 100000 surplus. which,
he claims, is thus made trust fund
for the benefit OF the preferred share
holders. As to the first point the COM
Dany will doubtless say that 1t was un-
wise in the present condition Of In
business to pay dividends; as to the
latter, that 1t 10 wise to lay by some.
thing for rainy day.
Whatever may be said or dons. the
thousands Of holders OF Steel common
via be scarcely less interested than Mr.
Stevens himself in the outcome Of tbs
litigation that he has instituted. 1t \
q matter also in which the general pub
lie has keen interest.

OLD TIME SURGEONS.
They Had 70 Work Rapidly Before
Am@pthetics Were Used.

They Had 70 Work Rapfdly Before
An@pthetics Were Used.
Before anasthetics were known tho
surgeons only expedient was to abridge
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and a
surety in their hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of poor devil who began TO
howl in advance. "I'll give you my
watch" said the surgeon, W the oper-
alton lasts more than a minute" The
man accepted the offer, but was obliged
20 fOrego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than 1t re!
Quires to describe.
To amputate an arm at the shoulder
Is a most difficult operation. D.. Ian
genbeck of Germany did it in two min
utes. A young physician who came to
! zee him perform the operation adjusted
/ his spectacles to his nose so as not to
lose q single movement, but when the
spectacles were in place the operation
was over, and the severed arm lay on
the floor.
Times have changed much since then.
1t suff1ces to put bit Of chloroform or
ether on compress and let the patient
breathe through it for few minutes
to put him into slumber so deep that
ne remains inert while the surgeon
makes his incision, cuts, files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation Is over, and the patient
knows nothing Of 1t. Thanks to chloro-
form, surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.
