Pond Owners Must Suppress Noise,
German Tribunal Says.
An uncommon case was lately fought
before the German tribunals right up
to the supreme court in Leipzig.
Two neighbors lived for q long time
in close friendship until one of them
had an artificial pond constructed in
his garden. After a time a number of
frogs appeared In the pond, and their
eroakings were so loud and continu-
GUS as to deprive the neighboring fam
lily of its nightly rest. The disturbed
family objected and, relying on a law
which forblds any n from diminish
ing the value of another's property, re-
quested the pond owner to make ar
rangements for keeping the frogs with
in bounds. A
The pond owner replied that~he was
of the frogs, which he had not placed
In the pond. The first tribunal upheld
the pond owner on the ground that the
frogs were a d~ispensation of nature
which must be pat up with, Ike the
sun and rain. The Judgment was up
set by the next higher tribunal. and
the decision Of the latter was affirmed
by the supreme court.
The supreme court reasoned that
whoever made a pond had to reckon
with the subsequent appearance Of
frogs and that the noise emitted by
them constituted injury to neighbor-
ing property,

Jungle Housekeeping.

The negro housewife IN the West
Indian jungle finds housekeeping very
easy. Fruit apd vegetables grow wild
all about the hot and the river abounds
with fish. On wash day all she has to
do is to pick a few of the berries OF
the soap berry tree, take her clothes
to the river and use the berries as she
would use ordinary soap. Even her
cooking pots grow Oh the trees, the
ealabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calsbashes are used
also for bowls, basins and jugs for
carrying water from the river, while
the small ones make excellent cups.
In the afternoon, when she is ready
for her cup OF tea, the negress picks
half a dozen leaves from the lime bush
growing at her door, boils them,
~squeezes the juice from a sugar caue
for sweetening and the eocoanut sup
plies the milk. Thus she has a deis
cious cup Of tea without depending on
the grocer for II. She makes the mats
for her floor out OF the dried leaves Of
the banana, plated and sewed togeth
