FROG AND ALLIGATOR. Persons in the

Beacon, are familiar with the tank in
Shows apothecary store, with its numer-
ous gold fish, which, with monster frog


two alligators, and turtle, formed what
seemed TO be harmonious and happy
family But appearances in this case, as
in so many others, were deceptive. The
huge frog, whose swollsn figure was so
conspicuous at the side of the tank towards
the window, was a most voracious mon
ster devouring other frogs, as well as
making dainty meal off the delicate gold
fish. A few days ago one OF the alhga-
tors, eleven inches long, was missing, and
after search had been made everywhere
else, it occurred to the owner OF the tank
to examine the inside of the frog, though
it hardly seemed reasonable to suppose
that he had swallowed the alligator. But
on opening his mouth it was clear that
TINS was the case. and by putting the finger

mia. whose history dates back only about
twenty-five years, promises soon to take her
place as one of the greatest States in the
Union. Her population in 1850 was only
92 QUO, but since that time it has increased
more than 700 per cent. or at the rate oi
about 80 per cent, each year. She posses
ses every element Of growth and prosperity


Besides her precious mines, her excellent
climate makes her one of the finest agricul-
tural regions in the world. Last year she ex-
ported $21 ZOO, 900 worth of wheat to Great
Britain. She can raise enough wheat for a
whole nation, and a scheme is said TO be on
foot for exten ling her trade in dried fruits to
Europe. She expects TO make from ten to
twelve millions gallons of wine this season.
the present. number Of grape vines in the
State being 10000, 900. She also adds
this year an immense crop of hops to her
sum Of wealth. This product is chiefly for
expectation; but it is not unlikely that with
in few years the manufacture of those hops
into ale and porter will be carried on within
the State. This would enchance the value
Of the hop crop by so much, besides the in
crease in population resulting from this in
dustry. The quicksilver mines and the coal
mines are also beginning to pay great profits
to their owners. In the midst of all this
natural wealth the people are beginning to
live better and the demand for the finer lux
uries is increasing. Fine residences and
costly public buildings are spriuging up
everywhere, and one of the latest underta-
kings is the building Of an entire new subur-
ban town in San Mateo county, to cover
IL 900 acres, and not single lot Of which
is to be sold until the town Is all built.

THE VENUS OF MILo.-A curious dis covery, says the Paris correspondent of the Nation, has been made concerning the Venus of Milo. During the siege of Paris the Venus was enveloped in plaster as q protection against shells, and hidden away in one of the cellars of the Louvre. The statue was originally made in two parts. These were separate when 1t was found. There were holes on each side of the place of separation for pegs to keep the two parts together. It is now thought that the upper half has not been properly placed on the lower. The effect is to make it learn too far forward. This de- feet is increased by mistake with regard to the proper position of the right foot, which is on the ground. The Greeks placed their statues on uneven ground. The original position of the Venus must have been on an inclined plane, as it look ing up hill. When the statue was put up at the Louvre, the notion of the persons who had it in charge was that the foot should rest upon 8 horizontal surface. This threw the body too much forward. Mir. Ravaisson, who had made these dis coveries, placed two models in plaster side by side, one perfect imitation of the actual Venus and the other in the position which he imagines wac the true one, and his version is the best. The goddess stands erect, and the figure is said to be more majestic.

There are two ways of managing a
balky horse. My companion knew one
of them, and l the other. His method
is to sit quietly in the wagon, and at
short intervals throw small pebble at
the horse. The theory is that these re-
peated sudden annoyances will operate
on horses mind, and he will try to
escape them by going on. The specta-
tors supplied my friend with stones, and
he pelted the horse with measured gen
tleness. Probably the horse understood
this method, for he did not notice the
attack at all. My plan was to speak
gently to the horse, requesting him to
go, and then to follow the refusal by one
sudden, sharp cut Of the lash to wait a
moment, and then repeat the operation.
The dread of the coming lash after the
gentle word will startle any horse. l
tried this, and with certain success.
The horse backed us into ditch, and
would probably have backed himself
into the wagon if [ had continued.
When the animal was at length ready
to go, Davie took him by the bride,
ran by his side, coaxed him into a gal
lop, and then, leaping in behind, lashed
him into n run which had little respite
for ten miles, up hill and down. Re-
monstrance on behalf of the horse was
in vain, and it was only on the return

driver began to reflect how he could
erase the welts from the horses back be-
fore his father saw them.-G ID. Var

The temperance crusade is no long
er the sensation of the day in the news
papers, but it continues to appear Il
matter of absorbing Importance to the


women engaged i'll it, and of practical
interest to the men whose business it
so materially affects. There is no evi-
dence thatthe women are weary in their
well doing. The number of saloons
closed has increased from day to day
until it now exceeds thousand, and we
look in vain for an instance in which
the women after fairly beginning battle
have fled the field. Their faith is of
the kind that is said to remove noun
tains. 1t hesitates not to attack the
enemy whether he be strongly in
trenched in 5000 grog- shops as in Gin
cinnati, or supported by an angry rab
bic as in Cleveland. An array of su-
perior numbers in opposition serves only
to call for more thorough organization
and greater perseverance on the part of
the crusaders. Persecution arouses the
spirit of martyrdom and elicits sympa-
thy for the prosecuted from unexpected
quarters. A single victory encourages
a praying band to weeks of more earn
est and devoted prayer and labor. But
a speedy victory does not seem neces-
sary to keep the fire of faith aglow.
Weeks may pass without surrender,
yet the women keep on with a patience
which enhsts the sympathy of the most
careless spectator and assures the ha
rassed liquor-dealer that, though the day
of his capitulation may be distant, it
must inevitably come.-Neao York Irib-
