IN THE ORCHARD.
The autumn leaves are whirled away ;
The sober skies look down
On faded fields and woodlands gray,
And the dun-colored town.
Through the brown orchard’s dusty aisle,
In sad-hued gown and hood,
Slow passes, with a peaceful smile,
A maiden pure and good.
Her deep, serene, and dove-like eyes
Are downward bent ; her face,
Whereon the day’s pale shadow lies,
1s sweet with nameless grace.
The frolie wind beside her blows;
The sear leaves dance and leap ;
With hands before her clasped, she goes
As in a waking sleep.
To her the ashen skies are bright,
The russet earth is fair;
And never shone a clearer light,
Nor breathed a softer air. ~~
0 wizard love! whose magic art
Transmutes to sun the shade,
Thine ars the beams that fill the heart
Of this meek Quaker maid.

About Frogs For Food.
They Cannot Be Raised Fast Enough
For the Demand.
It is fair to assume that the frog, with
all the force of whateverintellect he mey
possess, revolts at the -public attention
that is from time to time directed toward
him. Brek-ek-kek-koax is naturally cf
ashy and retiring disposition, actively
seeking seclusion on all occasions where
men desire to gratify their fondness for
him, and it is safe to say that he loves
men far less than man love him.
This is natural, for the fondness men
have for the queer little amphibian is
solely due to the prompting of the pal-
ate and stomach, and man’s love is
“death to the frog.” Naturally, he ob-
jects and shrinks modestly from observa-
tion when the hunter pursues him. Nev-
ertheless the pursuit is kept up, and from
year to year almost countless numbers
of the batrachians are slain.
Mr. Frog begins life as a tadpole, and
tadpoles are easily hatched and reared.
‘The fertile American commercial instinct
from time to time seizes on the notion
that nothing is much easier than to pro-
cure a suitable marsh, stock it with tad-
poles, furnish cheap food, which is all
that is assumed to be necessary, and wait,
for the tadpoles to become frogs ard
multiply. Then, argue many sanguine
persons, it will be easy to supply the
market with frogs’ legs at thirty or for-
ty or fifty cents a pound. One proposi-
tion which goes to support the theory of
this scheme is indisputable. There is a
constant demand in all the great markets
of this country for more frogs’ legs than
are ever supplied, and the price seldom
falls very low-
FROG CULTURE STILL YOUNG.
It was with a view to learning the facts
about these frog farms, how they are
conducted, where they are, and what the
measure of their success has been, that a
writer applied to Fish Commissioner Eu-
gene G. Blackford.
“Frog cluture,” said the commission-
er, “is still in its tadpole state. The
facts are very few and simple. Frogs
breed just like fish. Itis easy to getthe
spawn and to hatch it out. As you are
probably aware, the hatchings are tad-
poles, a minute, globular mass, with a
vibrating tail. These little fellows at
first are half transparent, but rapidly
darken in color and increase in size.
After a few weeks the tail shrivels, the
legs make an appearance. the head se-
parates from the body, and the tadpole
has become a frog. He is a very active
and vivacious young person at this time
and eats all kinds of animal food.
“Frog culturists at this stage feed him
with raw meat, liver, heart and waste
that have been chopped very fine. He
grows rapidly until he is six months old,
and then invariably falls sick, and in a
majority of cases dies. The reason ap-
pears to lie in the diet. Sofar as we
know, a frog lives on insects. He pre-
fers them alive, but when hungry eats
them when they are dead. In these
cases, when frogs have beer fed on flies,
they have always prospered.
“As itis a practical impossibility to
get enough flies and other inscets to feed
a regiment of these batrachians the frog
farmer is compelled to use meat instead.
The result is the sickness and mortality
I have described. Ttis so great as to
make all fioz cul ure a financial failure.
Out of a hundred frogs, anywhere from
sixty to ninsty-five die when they are
six months old.
“Even as it stands, a great deal of
work is being done. Krous are, if not
raised, at least fed and fattened for the
murket in New York, New Jersey, and
especially in Ontario (Canada) Tennes-
see and many of the western states.
There is a wonderful variety in the sizes
attained. Those around this part of the
country are seldom large.
“A dozen pair of hind legs from New
York and New Jersey weigh a pound
on an averaze: the same number from
Ontario will run three or four pounds,
while from Tennesse and Missouri they
go us high as five and even six pounds.
The consumer naturally prefers a large
lea. This is well illustrated bv the price
list. When - the New, York and
New Jersey frogs have a moropoly of
the market- -cold weather keeping Can-
adian and high freights western articles
out of the city, because they cannot be
aught in cold weather—they bring from
30 to 50 cents a pound. When, later
on in the year, the Ontario legs are re-
ceived, the domestic article falls to 20
cents and the Ontario and western
bring from 40 to 60 cents a pound.
“In Ontario the frog business is con-
ducted on a large scale. The French
Canadians inherit their talent in’ this
ticld from their ancestors and are more
skillful than any of their competitors.
“The demand for frogs’ legs increases
much more rapidly than the supply. In
18630 scarcely twenty pounds a day were
sold in Fulton market, while now it is no
nwncommon thing to dispose of 2,000 and
even 3,000 pounds in a morning. At
first the demand was confined to French
and Italians. Americans shared that
curious British prejudice, engendered no
doubt by the long wars between En-
gland and France, which regarded beef
asthe only food fora man, and frogs, the
favorite delicacy of Paris, as a pitiful
substitute for meat, and in consequence
called every Frenchman a ‘frog eater.’
By degrees the Germans and then the
Americans began to call for frogs until
{ finally every first call hotel and restau-
rant in the land had them upon their
bill of fare. The difference between the
demand and supply is well illustrated by
the price. Twenty years ago it: was on-
ly about one-half of what it s now, and
it has increased steadily during that pe-
riod. It is evidentto any one who gives
the matter thought that unless frogs are
raised in captivity for the great city
markets, before many years Rave gone
by the price will beso high as to make
the delicacy a luxury as costly as the
finest terrapin.
“In catching frogs there has been lit-
tle or no change in my recollection. The
tavorite method 1s a hook and line, with
a small piece of red flannel as a bait.
This is employed more than all other
methods combined. In Ontario they
have a practice which has been used in
France and Belgium for centuries ; they
shoot their prey with a cross bow or ar-
blast. The bolt transfixes the little rep-
tile and makes so little noise as not to
frighten its friends and neighbors.
Some sportsmen use a rifle or a Flobert
air gun. The latter is preferable, as the
discharge makes almost no sound.
Spearing frogs in the night time is a
custom derived from the Indians. A
flat boat, a powerful lantern, a spear and
two men are all that is required. The
frogs are attracted by the light and al-
ways face toward it. The light is re-
flected by their eye and so betray them
to the catcher. [f the boatis moved
noiselessly, by the man in the stern, the
bpearman, who occupies the bow either
beneath or behind the lantern, can ap-
proach the frog to within a few inches
and then impale him without difficulty.”

Suffering Seals.
Seal fishing is one of the greatest in-
dustries of the Newfoundland coast,
their skins bringing fabulous prices as
articles of wearing apparel, while the
oil is usetul for many purposes.
The dwellers of the frozon north make
clothing, boats, tentsand even cooking
utensils from the skin of seals, and use
their oil and flesh for food.
These animals are among the most in-
teresting of the animals that have their
homes in the water. They have great
soft brown eyes that gaze at you with
the innocent, wondering look one sees in
the eyes of a calf, and long before com-
merce found use for the seal their intel-
ligence and docility gave them a place
in the folk lore of the north.
Scotland and the Scandinavian peo-
ples gave birth to many charming le-
gends based on the belief that seals oft-
times transformed themselves into hu-
man shapes. ;
They are gentle creatures, easily
mesticated, and become very much
tached to their human friends ; they
also very easily trained, learning all
tricks that dogs perform.
It is zaid that when distressed the seal
not only gives voice to its sorrow in
plaintive eries, but that great tears will
roll from its eyes.
The Newfoundland seal fisheries fur-
nish over 700,000 skins to commerce an-
nually, and Alaska about a third that
number; and what is man’s return for
this revenue of money ? Sealare cruel-
ly killed. Off the Newfoundland coast
they are skinned before life is extinct,
despite their cries and writhings. :
During the past spring over 500,000
of these poor creatures were captured
and brought to Halifax and St. John,
and all had been killed in a barbarously
cruel manner. Such treatment merits
the indignation of the whole civilized
world, and it is a pity that the age does
not still believe the old legends that
would clothe the seals with power to re-
turn in other forms and to wreak venge-
ance on their persecutors; and yet it
seems that a man who could take the
skin and fat from a living animal while
its moans bespoke its anguish and its
great eyes pleaded for pity would not lis-
ten to any spirit or living creature, or to
the small voice within.— Picayune.

He Offered His Uncle,
. During the war, at a time of great
depression, it is said that a public weet-
ing was called in Oneida county, New
York, for the purpose of stimulating the
war spirit. It was a matter of general
notoriety at the time that there was
a decilel political disagreement be-
tween Roscoe Conkling and his nephew,
Mr. Morris Miller, and that they warm-
ly opposed each other's views and meas-
ures. The. meeting was a very fervent
one, and in the course of it great enthu-
siasm was arcused for the more vigorous
prosecution of the war. The speakers
vied with each other in their devotion
and personal self-sacrifice. One speaker
offered to contribute a large sum of mon-
ey, ancther offered an increased amount,
An aged man arose, and with a broken
voice declared that he had no money to
give, but that he had a young son
whom he would dedicate to the service
of his country. Another father arose,
and with tears in his eyes pledged the
same sacrifice.
The enthusiasm was at its height and
the house was carried away by the spirit
ot gelfsurrender, when Mr. Miller arose
and eloquently expressed his devotion
to the cause.
“I have,” he said in thrilling tones,
“no money to give, but I offer to my
country my uncle, Rosece Conkling!”
There was dead silence for a moment
and then suppressed laughter, and then
aroar that shook the house. Business
was resumed, the speaking went on,
other pledges were made. But every
now and then somebody would break
out in a titter: ‘He offers his uncle, Ros-
coe Conkling,” and the fancy would
tickle somebody else, until the whole
house was convulsed again end again
with merriment.

Pussy’s Lofty Flight.
And Elder's Story of a Georgia Cut
and, an Eagle.
Elder Simon Peter Richardson tells the
following excellent story, the details of
which aresaid to be true and the scene
of which is laid in Jackson county:
A: bald eagle was in thehabi’ of hoy-
ering over a barn in which a favorite cat
was educating a: fine brood of kittens.
The cat was generously fed from the
dwelling near by, and was accustomed to
convey to the barn dainty relays of food
for the sustenance of her dependent.
tamily, ' i
The eagle took in the situation, and
set out for ‘he surprise and capture of
the cat and her transport of provisions.
One day theicat was en route to the
barn, having her teeth fastened into a
mass of well-cooked and seasoned prov-
ender for her young.
The eagle, with an eye traditionally
keen and instant, caught sight of her
stealthy movement, and fell upon her
from the exalted air, frenzied with an
intense appetite which had been whet-
ted for the adventure.
A spectator, innocent of the nature of
the animal which suddenly was seen to
whirl upward in the embrace of the
ravenous bird, supposed that [the eagle
had captured a rabbit, and he intently
watched for results. It was noticed
that the line of flight was entirely ver-
tical. The bird, with its prey, ascend-
ed in a straight path whose track was
clearly marked by tufts of loose feathers
violently tossed from the point of corm-
bat. In time the struggling pair at-
tained to a giddy eminence and came to
a standstill in the sky. The eagle's
wings had drooped once or more, and
he had given plain evidence of pain and
terror. Yet he had not once seemed
disposed to relax the awful grip he ap-
peared to have upon the animal.
At length and suddenly a decent was
begun, simultaneously with which the
pinions of the monster bird were seen to
widely extend. Then the movement
downward took greater force,” and soon
the spot was reached whence theupward
flight had started. The combatants had
fallen to the very point where they had
first encountered each other.
But the eagle was dead.
The spectators now recognized the
supposed rabbit to be a cat, and the same
shot away for the barn with the origi-
nal meat between her teeth which she
hep there when ambuscaded by the ea-
gle.
Investigation proved, that the cat had
cut the eagle’s throat and lacerated his
flesh to the breast, laying him wide
open, The eagle had long since let go
of the cat, but the latter, sceing that
death was the certain recompense of so
mighty a fall, had fastened her claws
into the flesh of the bird and made the
latter’s wings do parachute duty in eas-
ing her, without injury, to the ground.
At last accounts cat and kittens were
“doing as well as could be expected.”
Her Presence oF Minp.—He had
never seen a telephone, and his friend
was showing him how it worked. It
was in hisoffice. He called up his house,
and the wife came to the telephone.
“My dear, Mr. Jonesishere, and I
asked him to come up to dinner.”
Then he turned to Mr. Jones and
said.
“Put your ear to that and you'll hear
her answer.” '
He did, and this was the answer:
“Now, John, I ‘told you I would
never have that disagreeable wretch in
my house again.” :
“What was that ?”’ spoke out Mr.
Jones. Women are quick. A man
would have simply backed away from
the telephone and said no more. She
took in the situation in a second when
she heard the strange voice, and quick
as a flash came back the sweetest kind
of a voice:
“Why, Mr. Jones, how do you do?
Tithought my husband meant ancther

shall be so glad to see you.—San Fran-
