Frog Skin a Freight Puzzle.

A most unusual question in classify
ing frog skins as freight was lately
asked of the freight agents of several
railroads in Louisiana by their rural
agents. The question is whether a
frog skin shall be classed with wild
animal hides, bird skins, fish, or in a
class by itself, for which double rates
shall tie charged. Dealers have had
the skins shipped under each of these
headings, but so large has become the
industry of sending them east for man
ufacture into covers for pocketbooks
that more uniformity is demanded

they were all sitting talking at head

tack, and sentries and pickets were
posted far out beyond the stockade.
Suddenly we heard one shot. OF
course every one jumped up. The bu-
giles sounded; the men fell in: the OH

between two local teams. the an.

game was undoubtedly the best
contest of the kind ever seen in the
city: 1t was played on a snowy
neid, which made kicking and long
forward passes almost impossible.

attempted to kick the ball at anv
time.
The Indians kicked off to Graves.
right guard for the Cubs, who was
downed soon after receiving the
ball. Then began series Of long
end runs by the backs of the Cubs
team until near the close of the
first half, when Crawford, the In
dian left end, broke through the
line, and securing the bali on q
fiuke, made the only touchdown
OF the game. An easy goal was
kicked, making the score 6 to 0.
The second half was played near
the center OF the field and neither
team was able to make much ground
The final count was the same as at
the close Of the first half, 6 to 0, in
favor of the Indians.
Wright, Leeper, Lewis, and
Crawford were the stars of the In
dian aggregation while Williams,
kilen, and Fisher played the best
ball for the Cubs. w. H. Holly

Varying weight Of the BODY.

Vo1tAaO ~V1o9N - N90 DO3Vs
A physician points out that several
fallacies are common with regard ia
the weight Of the human body. The
man who congratulates himself on his
gain Of several pounds in weight in q
given period may have no cause for
rejoicing. for he may be under a delu-
sion. Very few persons, says the In
vestigator, have any correct idea Of
their own weight. As matter Of fact,
the weight of the body Is continually
changing owing to mnumerable infu-
ences. On a warm day after break
fast man will lose more than third
of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent
Of the body contains water, and Its
weight varies constantly. The infer
ence to be drawn from the loss or gain
Of a pound or two may be mistrusted.
Fluctuations of a few ounces are a
sign that the body is In healthy
state.-Milwaukee Citizen.
