MUCH NONE
In FROGS LEGS
BOYS TURNED
BATS INTO HUNTING
IMPLEMENTS.

Thanks to the perseverance or a
number of prospecting youngsters, ac'
cording to the Philadelphia Record,
residents of Haddington and over:
brook may now have suppers OF choice
frogs legs. A veritable mine OF frogs
was discovered a week ago by mem
bers of juvenile base ball team who
we're playing near Sixty-third and
Market streets. A fly ball was
knocked into ditch, and the f1elders
who chased 1t found fully two dozen
frogs holding a convention on the
shore of the little stream. The game
was stopped and the boys got busy
in the ditch with their bats. More
than half hundred frogs were cap
tured in the first raid. They were
made ready for the market by the
Youngsters, who had little trouble In
selling them at so cents dozen.
Since the discovery the boys have
been prospecting daily, and hundreds
of frogs have been gathered in during
the last few days. Unfortunately for
the DISCOVERIES, the news has spread
and now the frog fields have been
invaded by so many youngsters that
the price has been cut down.

HIGH PRICES
FOR OLD COINS
ENORMOUS FIGURES WHERE
FACE VALUE Is SMALL.

At an auction sale Of old coins in
Philadelphia this week, says the Grand
Rapids, Mich, Herald, silver dollar
of the coinage of 1904 brought $500
and Brasher's New York doubloon,
the face value OF which is SIG, was
knocked down for 5000. These
prices are rather fancy, but relatively
it was the coins of smaller denomina-
ton that yielded great profits. A Paul
Revere half penny, face value one
cent. sold for $1,000 and several one
cent pieces brought from $3.50 to
$3.50. There is no particular moral
attached to this sale of coins and the
prices they brought, but there may be
grounds for regret on the part OF some
that our ancestors did not lay in
choice lot of these coins when they
were current and hand them down
along with the family spoons. Had
they taken care of the pennies. as
they should, we might have the dol
lars to take care of today.

3 A social function notable for its ag-
gregation of titled guests as much as
for it's artistic beauty, was kimona
party / recently attended at the
studio of Mr.. Edmund Russell. All
the ladies present we're in gorgeous
Oriental apparel, which was exceed
ingly becoming. AS it was optional
with the male guests to appear en-
costume, there were only six who did
not avail themselves of the privilege
of DOMINIC conventional evening
dress. Refreshments peculiar to the
Far East were served, and each lady
was presented with two Japanese
fans, one to carry, the other for her
hair Among the guests was Mrs.
Ethel Watts Munford Grant, the we'll
known magazine writer, who gave one
of the religious dances of Samoa,
where she spent a year. Another
was Baron Won Motz, German army
officer, who cleverly gave a humorous
monologue in his native language.
Count Spiridovitch, Russian gen.
eral, who was also present, is devot-
ing himself and his fortune to freeing
the Armenians. One was tempted to
quote to him that Charity begins at

A mechanical novelty may be seen
and heard at the New York Central
Railroad Station in this city, which is
the invention of Southerner, a Mr..
Wachselbaum of Macon, Ga. The ar
rival and departure of the many
trains instead of being announced by
men with stentorian voices is done
through the medium of nine mega
phones connecting with a device into
which the words are uttered in the
usual pitch; they are repeated sim
ultaneously through the nine mega
phones in nine different parts of the
place. If this continuance proves the
success hoped for by it's inventor, it
will supplant the 'spieler" now en-
ployed by street fairs and similar
places of amusement to cry out the
attractions within.
