Frog Industry In France.

1t is in France that the frog was
first generally used for food, and it is
in that country that the industry of
frog farming has been most largely de-
veloped. The green frog exists abun-
dainty throughout France wherever
there are marshes, ponds or sedgy mar
gins of rivers or bays that contain
fresh or slightly brackish water.
The best outfit for frog raising is
one or more shallow ponds or reser-
voirs filled with grasses and other wa
ter plants. 1t should be so situated
that the water can be partially drawn
off so as to facilitate the labor of
catching. If, as is often the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left for a
year or two to propagate. If food does
not prove abundant the owner throws
in live earthworms, as the frog is q
carnivorous animal and prefers the
food, whether worms, larvae or insects,
fresh and in normal, living condition.
If no frogs exist in the water they are
planted either living or in the form of
eggs, which hatch when the water be-
comes warm in April.-Popular Me-
chanics.

White Uniforms Not POPULAR.

White naval uniforms, when clean.
are very effective, but are not popular
Every man in white on deck is ex.
posed as conspicuous bullseye to
any guerilla marksman skulking
through the brush or sneaking over
the water surfaces of hostile coun-
try. During the Filipino insurrection
this visual exhibit was apreciably
noticeable aboard the gunboats which
patrolled the coasts within rife shot
of the beach. No sooner did a light
mark show above deck than the thud
OF a bullet against the side of the
ship or the hiss of a miss as it whizzed
away into space showed that a game
q SPY was on. Then, too, on a
palmy day a stidly starched soldier
looks cool and neat to all bat himself.
though starched clothes are endurable
IN mild weather. But let the thermal
conditions change to sultry humid
ity; result, the white and starched
sutness willis like dshrag, perspira-
tlon damps the linen which clings to
the sweltering frame, bizarre creases
streak the soggy trousers if one dares
TO sit down.-Army and Navy Journal.

RIGHTS TO TERM DISPUTED
Mexican Herald Ridicules Appellatlon
OF "Christian Nations" to the Pow
ers Of the World.

A contemporary INDUCES in rash
speculations respecting the benefits to
accrue to the Ottoman empire when
1t shall be partitioned among the
Christian nations of Europe" re-
marks the Mexican Herald.
One fails to recognize any modern
nation which the designation Ats.
Really Christian nations would not be
armed to the teeth, as it were, and
spend half their revenues in prepare
lions for war. Never since Chris
tianity came" says a recent writer,
has there been a time when the
course Of nations was so marked by
violence and the power of aggression
Opportunity and strength are recog-
nized as the sole guides for interna-
tional behavior. The most solemn
pledges are set aside without question
and the rupture of treaties is accept
ed almost without protest when the
power that breaks the treaty is
strong enough in itself or its allies
to secure the fruits of its violence by
threats of war. Blessed are the peace
Makers we are told; but If one great
power claims that blessing for the &C.
ton OF fortnight ago, it must be
with sardonic smile. When a man
stops quarrel by presenting a pistol
at the head of the injured party, he
may be described as peacemaker of
kind, but It is peculiar kind, not
coming, we think, within the meaning
Of the blessing"
The guiding principles of modern
nations are not those of Christ, but
rather those of Nietzche, the teacher
of the right of might and the glorifier
of brute force, who counsels the
trampling down remorselessly of the
weak. The press of the world daily
tells of the bitter hostility of the
great nations and speculations as to
the future Of aerial navigation revolve
around the employment of airships as
agents of destruction. The most ad-
vanced nations of the world are at
this moment concentrating seven
tenths of their energies upon the
means of fighting each other, in a war
which, when it comes, will shake the
world and give the yellow race its
chance to win new ground at the ex-
pense of white civilization.

Truth of This Not Vouched For

In an illustrated description of the
game OF tennis "Simplicissimus"
says: Like all good things, lawn ten.
mis- is of English origin. Marie Stu.
art, while prisoner, was compelled
to beat carpets which were hung over
rail. Not contented with this hui.
initiation, her sister. Queen Elizabeth,
once threw a dead mouse at the I'm.
fortunate Marie while the latter was
beating carpets. The little defunct
rodent was caught on Marie's fail and
sent back over the rail, and was re-
turned to her by means of a fail in
the hands of Elizabeth, and thus the
game of tennis originated. Further
on In the same same description it is
said; Two sets are formed, and
while these fifrt at the edge Of the
court others stand near the net and
make efforts to speak English"
