PENNSYLVANIA FROG HUNTERS.
They Are Busy Now, For the Season
 Has Just Opened.

All the sport is not found in angling for the gamy bass or spreckled trout. Monday the frog season opens and if there is any sport that requires skill it is catching frogs.
 There was a time when the twilight soloists were taken any time during the year, but since frogs were discovered to be of benefit to mankind, not only as a food product but because they kill embryo mosquitoes, it was decided to have laws protecting them.
 The frog season will end November 30 Nets are now being prepared, lamps put in shape, gum boots tested to see where a mouse or time has worn holes through the rubber and after dusk Sunday evening frog hunters through out the surrounding rural district will be seen vending their way to the fav orite frog pond or stream, as they can begin catching frogs when the hands of the clock point to the midnight hour.
 Those who go for sport spend one or two nights a week in search of the sreenbacks, and those who make liv- ing by selling them to restaurants. cafes, hotels, and families rarely miss a night This is especially the case at the start of the season
 Veteran frog hunters do not reveal their favorite places. There are many who have been going for years, and even their closest friends do not know where they make the large catches,- From the Susquehanna Transcript.

KEPT WARM BY ELECTRICITY
Ingenious Device Employed for Ba.
hies' Cribs In Presbyterian Hos
pitaI in New York.

In the Presbyterian hospital, New
York, there is an interesting instance
of the application of electricity in the
nursery for the benefit of the incu.
bator babies Here, says the Edison
Monthly the problem is to provide
plenty of fresh air and at the same
time sufficient warmth for the babies,
and this has been solved by simple
but effective form of crib warmer.
The sides of the bassinet in which
the baby lies are covered with ashes
tos boards and beneath Is an electric
heater or foot warmer, with cable
couplings and switch which allows the
current to be regulated. In a warm
air chamber between the bassinet and
the foot-warmer is a partition, SO con-
structed with reference to the baby's
position in the crib that the heat is
reflected to the lower end of the bas,
sinet The child's feet are thus kept
warm, while lower temperature Is
maintained at the head.

even greater magnitude than that
of Monday night in Milwaukee,
but attended by far less publicity
constantly are being committed by
loose minded persons ofthe Schrenk

mented but who are allowed free
intercourse with their fellows. The
state locks them up only after they
have committed crime which
brings them into general notice
and public condemnation, These
crimes are not against men OF great
Importance alone, but against OBJ
secure individuals who, neverthe
less, are entitled to protection
1t may cost the various state'

fRAT ABODE OF TIE PAST
John GslsNorthy's Charming Picture
Of an ol5 Dlsused Southern
Landmark.

"Yes, suh-here we are at that old
time place!" And our dark driver
drew up his little victoria gently,
writes John Galsworthy in Scribner's.
Through the open doorway, into a
dim cavern of ruined house. we passed.
The mildew and dirt, the dark, de-
nuded darkness of that old hostel,
rotting down with damp and time!
And our guide, the tall, thin, gray
haired dame, who came forward with
such native ease, and moved before
us. touching this fungused wall, that
rusting stairway and telling, as it
we're, no one, in her soft, slow
speech, things that any one could see
what a strange and fitting figure.
Before the smell of the deserted,
oozing rooms, before that old creature
leading us on and on, negligent of all
our. questions and talking to the air,
as though we were not, We felt such
discomfort that we soon made to GO
out again into such freshness as there
was on that day of dismal heat. Then
realizing, it seemed, that she was los
ing us, our guide turned; for the first
time looking in our faces, she smiled
and said in her sweet, weak soice
like the sound from the strings of 6
spinnet long unplayed on: DON you

moldering corridors and rooms wher

When Portugal Was Great.

The announcement that Portugal is
to be linked up by wireless" with "all
the Portuguese colonies" is remind.
er of the vanished greatness of what
was once the leading colonizing en-
pire in the world. From Lisbon in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
went out marines through the I'M
known and uncharted oceans to AT.
RIGA, India and the New World to the
west, and planted the flag of Portugal
in every corner of the globe. But in
Africa alone has Portugal maintained
it's hold Of colonies of any magnitude.
In India are little bits of Portuguese
territory, Nova Goa, southeast OF
Bombay, being the capital of all
Portuguese 0slonies east of Cape OF
Good Hope; while as far east as China
the island OF Macao, In the Canton
river, first colonized nearly 400 years
ago, still owns the sovereignty Of

HOPE FOR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Time When She Should Be PhIIo-
soPhIeal and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There aretpeople today asking with
all appearance Of sincerity what a
woman Of fifty or more can do. Their
combining work In the home, say these
observers, is done. A common sugges-
ton is that they be utilized In poll
tics. Thisfsuggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life in a business as many
sided and demanding as that of a
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the womnn's business
is ended at fifty or sixty is fantastic
in the extreme. 1t only ends there II
she has been blind to the meaning Of
her own experiences; II she has never
gone below the surface of her task
never seen In 1t anything but physical
duties; has sensed none of it's init
mate relations to the community, none
of its obligations toward those who
have left her, pone OF those toward
the oncoming generations. II It ends
there she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous importance to all
those who belong In her circle or who
touch it of what she makes Of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman of fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to a point OF
sound philosophy and serenity which
| is of the utmost value in the mental
and spiritual development of the
group to which she belongs. Life al

The decision of Gov Fletcher not
to give a Governors ball is a wise
one when it is considered that this
event has been growing more and
more expensive during the past
few years. 1t would be a difficult
matter for an executive of limited
means to keep up this costly Gus
tom and it is easier for Governor
Fletcher to break the custom than
it it would be for a man who could
not really afford to give such ball
The Governor has no desire to dis
criminate in any way against the
people of Montpelier, we are rell-
ably informed, but feels that 1t Is
better to break custom that may
prove burdensome to some OF his
successors than to continue it, and
his intention to give to worthy III
stitutions of the State, Tslike the
Home for Destitute Children a
Burlington, to which he has given
ST. 900, the amount that Cover

believe, with the hearty approva
of the majority of Vermonters as
