Nearly every living thing has local
habitation and abiding place which It
regards as its home. Even frogs have
an attachment for particular places in
which to spend their leisure hours,
About three years ago Pennsylvania
farmer named Anderson found largo
frog in front Of the spring ouse, and
when the milk,naid opened the door
to put her pail of milk in the spring
the frog hoped in behind her. RI.

1t was big fellow. From his nose
to the ends of his extended legs the
frog measured Is inches. 1t hoped
out OF reach of the girls hand and par
tally buried itself in bed Of clay in
the darkest corner of the spring house.
There, in stupor, neither eating nor
drinking, it remained until the spring.
Then it departed. r. i !.
Each autumn since then the frog
has appeared at the first sign of frost
and made winter bed in the spring
house. This year he came as usual.
But the farmer desired to make an ex-
pertinent on him. He was: awakened,
lifted from his warm clay nest, placed
In a wagon and carried to "a place q

by novel industry that does not, in
the opinion of "the set" place her out
side the pale of respectability. She
addresses invitations and attends to
correspondence as means of adding
