FROGS ARE POULTRY.


 Persons who never see the weekly publications of the treasury depart ment, Treasury Decisions, remain in abject ignorance of one of the most entrtaining of all the periodicals of the day. No end of gems of interpre- tation appear in the Treasury Deci- sions, but we have seen few to com pare with that which is numbered 24,959, and which is tersely headed Frogs" The aulitor for the treas 1iry department had been informed that at various points on the Cana dian border, merchandise variously described as frogs" dressed frogs and frogs legs' had been assessed at 10 per cent ad valorem, but having some doubt of the accuracy of the classification, had brought the matter to the attention of the department. To this grave question the department gave due heed, and .on the list of Feb ruary, having considered the subject since the 9th of November. returned a solemn decision that the merchandise should be returned for duty at cents per pound .'as being similar i'll ma- terial, texture and use to dressed poultry" This gives the official stamp to the theory that frog is a chicken, something that is we'll worth knowing.-New Bedford Standard

OLD FASHIONED HOUSE.
Water Bubbles from Spring oh
 Worlds Fair Grounds

St Louis, March 3.-A spring of liv- ing water, gushing clear and cold from the hillside at the northeast corner of the Palace of Agriculture at the worlds fair grounds at St Louis, is one Of the features provided by, nature that will delight thousands Of weary and thirsty visitors during the exposition.
 This beautiful spring began sending forth its. refreshing stream before the Louisiana Purchase was made q hum dred years ago, and no matter how dry the summer there has never been any diminution of it's flow.
 When the landscape architect with big steam shoyels, steam scrapers. with armies of men and hundreds of mules at his commana, began altering that part of the earth's surface en- braced in the exposition grounds. cut ley there, Frederic w. Taylor, chief of the department of agriculture, gave strict orders that the spring be not molested. 1>
 A weeping willow tree that must have been growing for more than fifty years, spreads out it's green branches over the spring and creates delight full shade. The swater as it bubbles from the ground flows down steep hillside through q miniature rayine in which dainty ferns and pretty mosses luxuriate.
 Chief Taylor has authorized lhe building of quaint. old-fashioned spring house over it. An old-fashioned well sweep will lift the water in q moss-covered. iron-bound oaken buck ct. The walls of the structure will be covered with bark of forest trees and the roof will be matched. Rustic seats will be placed conveniently in the spring house and ill available spots down the ravine. Cups will be provided and the visitor who at some time, or another has seen just such q sight and regaled himself with just such drink. will'recall pleasant mem- ories as he pauses in his self-imposed task of seeing worlds fair wonders.
 The water is as clear as crystal. It is just the right temperature-not SC cold as iced water and much colder than the water that flows through the city mains. It is mineral water, but has no odor and no repellant taste. It's flow is sufficient to provide cold and refreshing and healthful drink for thousands, and the old fashioned spring house is sure to become popu- lar resort in Agriculture hill. where so many other beauty spots have been created
