A man from Burnett drove over
here with wagonload of frogs in
a big box which he sold to local deal
ers at five cents pound, the load
weighing $50 pounds live weight, and
bringing him $32 in cash. Frogs are
gathering in the spring holes in the
creeks these days for the winter hi

out. They are most all big frogs
and are dressed for the market by tho

MITTENS MADE FROM OLD
STOCKINGS

Ribbed stockings are the best for
the mitten, and cashmere or fieeced
lined for the thumbs. I make them
double, using the top of the stock
ings for the top of the mitten and
just above the ankle for the lining;
cut one side over fold and stitch
the lining and outside together; make
slit and insert thumb; stitch in
and overcast; then stitch lining and
outside together around wrist part.
This is fine way to use old stock
ings and have plenty of dry mittens
for the youngsters on hand at all
times. To get the different sizes,
measure the child's hand and then
measure the same length on the
stocking, allowing enough for seam.

TO GET RID OF MICE.

1 had been bothered with mice and
I had tried almost everything to get
rid of them. An idea came to me
to have a piece of zinc to cover the
holes up, so 1 had tinsmith fix it.
When I saw the neat appearance all
around my floor underneath my sink
I had one put upon the floor, also
on my shelf where I keep my kettles,
pans, so that now am bothered with
neither mice nor dirt. 1t is easy to
keep clean and is we'll worth what
it cost to have it DONE 1t keeps for
ever and is as clean as my china
closet.

Potatoes came to this country from
Europe, which got them from Peru,
whence the Spaniards carried them
across the Atlantic. The name, in
its original form batata, was applied
first to the sweet potato, which had
"a tropical origin, but accounts differ
as to whether it came from the East
or the West Indies. It's cousin, the
yam, is a favorite in nearly all tropi-
cal countries. It grows huge tuber
and has high-climbing vine which
requires a pole to perform its aero
batic feats upon.

KEEPING FRIENDS.

It's one thing to make friends. -
Much more difficult is it to keep
them.
Friendships don't thrive on neglect
and discourtesy.
Any old kind Of treatment for
friend is poor policy.
To those who love us best belongs
the best we have.
The finest natures are most pune
tflious of all with their most intimate
friends.
Life can be smoothed and sweet
ened if little courtesies and atten-
lions to those we see oftenest are
made an unfailing part of it.-New

A CHARMING CHINESE.

The style of Chinese lady's dress
apparently never alters, but If she
can afford to do so she wears nothing
but silk. The first garment that she
dons is a sort Of apron, a plain piece
of silk which is tied round the waist
and overlaps behind. Then comes
underjacket and overjacket, trousers
and apron. In cold weather extra
Jackets, thickly wadded, are donned,
says Home Notes.
If the fair Chinese is going to re-
ceive friends, or for any other reason
wishes to appear specially charming,
she paints her face with paste made
of rice flour, which dries and gives
her q most cadaverous appearance.

A NEW USE OF OLIVE OIL.

Have you tried olive oil in bak-
ing? Those who dislike to use it in
some ways will find it invaluable in
pastry, biscuit, cake, etc. Those who
cannot eat pastry made with lard
can use oil with safety and will find
a great improvement in the delicate
and tasty results of its use. Use
tablespoonful to one cup Of flour in
pastry. Use little salt when max
ing cake and you will find the re-
suit as good as If butter was used
and much cheaper.

ADVICE TO THE BUSINESS GIRL.

ADVICE TO THE BUSINESS GIRL.
If you want to be a business girl
don't forget that all business is bit
brutal Don't go into business to be
helped or lifted gently over hard
places.
You will be paid to make rough
places smooth for your employer. If
you want help or sympathy, go to
the home for the enfeebled-if they
will take you.
You will never be engaged because
you want the money, but because
your employer needs your service,
says Woman's Life.
If you are not competent to do the
work don't ask your influential
friends to secure an opening for you
just because they would rather do
this than lend you money at regular
intervals.
But" you say, 81 must start
somewhere"
True, but start at the bottom.
Better start out in small way and
gradually rise than begin at some
thing better when half trained and
Ill equipped.

statement. This raises the per capita
to 1892. Of this increase s7,0t0, coo
was in gold, Sc, 900, 900 in national bank
notes and the balance in subsidiary sill

in "stock money for the month
there has been a much larger Increase
of that in circulation, this amounting
to $40, 500, 900. The Journal o. Com
merce. after giving these fiYureS. says
they are sufficient to show thai the
trouble of the last few weeks was not
due to lack of money nominally in cir
culation, but money was not moving so
actively; some Of it a hUaraed and
more was held out of active clrcula-
ton, through distrust Or need of eau
tion. The Journal of Commerce con-
cludes it's article in these words:
Incidentally, this affords an illustra-
ton of an important principle in cur
rency It is not SO much volume that

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
STEAMSHIP LINE.
THE

The Charlotte Chronicle has this to
say in regard to the withdrawal from
the Wilmington line Of its boats by
the Baltimore and Carolina Steamship
Company:
The reason offered by The Balti-
more and Carolina Steamship Com
pany for withdrawing it's boats from
Wilmington is Inability of the com
pany to AXE care of all the freight
offered with the two boats it owns
Here we nave all instance or the
port Of Wilmington actually. swamp
ing a steamship company with bust
ness, Looks like there is presented
an o~prorLunity for other companies
to make the acquaintance or VIII
mingtOn.
The chronicle is right. There is OPP
rortunity for other companies TO
make the acquaintance Of Winning
ton" But the merchants of Wilr-in@-
ton should not wait for those "ofher
companies to take the initiative.
They should not wait for theta t"
seek the acquaintance" but should at
once take steps looking to securing
a successor to the company which has
Withdrawn. The reason for with
drawal given by the Baltimore COLI
pany shows that there is business
enough with this port to warrant the
putting on Of a regular line of steam
ers between Baltimore and this city.
and, no doubt, the present business
could be Sre ''-r""' = efforts
were made in that direction. But in
order to induce s%hipowners to estab-
fish such line the merchants and other
business men of Wilmington must
manifest interest in its establishment.
No shipowners are going to come here
and ask our people to let them pat
on their boats. There should be CO.
operation between the business men
of both cities in showing that such a
line would pay it's owners and that
they are DESTROYS that it should be eS-
tablished. The first step should be TAX
en by this city with propositions to
Baltimore that the latter join it in
securing renewal of intercourse De-
tween the two by steamships. If de-
termined effort is made it can be &C
Complished.
