Dear Brother-I think 1t more fit
ting to call you dear brother" be-
cause in this letter l am addressing
myself less to the Czar than to the
man and brother; and, more than
that, / am no longer of this world,
but standing at the threshold of the
tomb. do not wish to die without
telling you what I~think of your
present actlvity-telling you what
activity is, and what it ought to be
for the greater good of millions OF
men and for yonr own good; and
also telling you what source OF evil
your conduct may be for these and
for yourself IL your activity continues
to follow its present course. 1t is
evident that you are deluding your
self as to the peoples attachment to
autocracy, and to its representative,
the Gar, beca Use you in all the cities
are greeted by crowds who cry,
Hurrah! and run behind your car
riage. Such manifestations are far
from being an expression of the .peo-
ple's fidelity. The crowds are moth
ing hut inquisitive people VINO follow
all uncommon sights with the same
eageiness; and, generally, they
whom you take for the peoples mes
sengers of affection are nothing but
needy wretches, mustered by the po-
lice to make show In your honor

RAISING FROGS FOR PROFIT.
Five Years From the Spawn so the
Finished Frog Leg.

Not many of the people who sit
down to nice order of frog legs
know where they come from, how
they are raised, caught and mar
keted, or, in fact, know anything
about them, yet frog legs are con-
sidered one of the most dainty of
dishes. Not many know that Penn
sylyania raised frog is one of the best
on the market.
People who have made the study
of animals, especially water animals,
life work, know that the frog pos
sesses almost as many peculiar char
acteristics es human being.
The bull frog, the eatable species,
comes from the lakes and low lands
of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Louisi-
ana and along the marshes of the
Great Lakes. 1t is said that there is
more trouble and less money about
frog farm than there is about any
other business. Still many people
living in the low lands and swamps
of the States mentioned depend en-
ttrely upon this novel but interesting
work for livelihood.
The better class of frog farmer
has from two to six ponds where
he breeds and raises his frogs. In
this way he can keep the frogs of
different ages in different ponds.
Frog eggs are about the size of
pin heads, and are laid in a Shiny,
Jelly-like substance that partially
protects them. From 400 to 500
eggs are the spawn of a single fe-
male. The eggs hatch the tadpole or
pollywog. This in turn becomes a
baby frog. Between the time of
change from tadpole to frog about a
year elapses, and it takes the frog
about two and half or three years
to grow large enough for market
They are better around the age of
five years than at any other time;
after that they become tough. 1t is
very hard matter to separate the
frogs at different ages for they must
pools or they will not hatch, so no
door can be placed there, and they
easily dig under any wall that can
be built.
After he is big enough for market
the frog is caught with bulls eye
lantern. This is flashed in his eyes
at night, binding him long enough
to be captured. In the daytime the
animal Is shy and will not allow a
person to approach, but when he is
once scared from a place 1t is safe
to say he will return there as soon
as the person has gone. When
caught and worried or teased he will
cry almost like baby.
In hard season, when small fish
and insects are scarce, the frog eats
his own families, 1t being case of
the biggest frog getting the most to
eat. 1t is no uncommon thing to
catch a bullfrog that has another In
his stomach half it's own size that 1t
has devoured IN a hungry moment
They can stay under water fron, y
TO 80 minutes, when they come TO
the surface for air. Their worst
enemy is. the large fish In ponds
where fish are also raised the fish
live almost entirely on the frogs.

Digby still held possession of the wheel;
He would first get the vessel under way and
fight out the contest with the students, while

He was confident as to the result Of bat

as Ricketts, was about to give the order. to
retreat, Digby came running up. Realizing,
without word of explanation, that he had
lost all chance of securing control of the yes

Charge them!" he shouted. 'Take TO

Commander Brant, who at this uncture

the. nerve the robber manifested in aiming
to launch a boat in such a sea. and again at
his faulty in supposing he could make good
his escape by such a method.
Dlgby and Gamble both seemed to realize
their leaders error, but they obeyed the
order.
The vessels defenders fell back before

Guipe aimed a blow at the foremost rob
