which lived for SO years and was acci-
dentally killed. The common frog

to mature in the North and barring &C

state would probably live at least 10

O. Should the same bed and table
linen be kept in use. or should ones

the stock of supplies be used in rota-
tion, by always drawing from the bot
tom and putting the clean on top, or
whether a set of three or four of each
type of linen be in constant use until
worn out. On the whole. the former
seems more desirable as some fabrics
deteriorate and yellow with age.
