Boys usually make their observa tions by means of a triple hook and a piece of red flannel, but a boy in Con necticut. known to the writer, took twenty-eight one day with his bare hands. Connecticut is a fine state for frogs. There at old Windham was fought the famous “Battle of the Frogs.” It was during the French and In dian war in 1758. Windham was then the most important frontier town of Eastern Connecticut. Colonel Dyer, a prominent citizen, was raising an army to oppose the Indians at Crown Point. The town was alive with ex citement. One very dark night the people were awakened by strange sounds, and at once thought the In dians were upon them. Seizing guns, swords and axes, the men rushed out to meet the enemy. But no enemy was to be seen. Still they felt a force of Francli and Indians must be at hand, for hoarse voices could be heard calling for Windham's promin ent military leaders. “Colonel Dyer and Elderkin, too!” “Colonel Dyer and Elderkin, too!” The town was up all night. When day broke the mystery was accident ally solved. A mile away from the village lay a big mai-shy pond inhab ited by myriads of frogs. A drought had nearly dried up the water, reduc ing it to a tiny streamlet, and for this scanty supply the poor thirsty crea tures had fought each other, until thousands lay dead on either side of the rill. This battle made Windham famous. For years the inhabitants felt badly teased and insulted by its mention. Now, however, the story is no longer a joke but a prized tradition. Snakes are as fond of frogs as the traditional Frenchman who esteemed them a delicacy. A frog has often been found swallowed whole and alive in a slaughtered snake. One snake known to a friend of the chron icler fared badly enough by his greed for his favorite dainty. He had swal lowed one frog and then had started to crawl through a crevice in a stone walk Before he had dragged through bis entire length he espied another plump little fellow and took him in, whereupon lie found himself securely fastened down under the stones, una ble to move either way-, and was dis patched by the spectator. Naturalists consider the frog a very interesting fellow and other observ ant people have learned curious facts concerning these amphibious crea tor es. A gentleman living in the southern part of France had a very large frog pond on his grounds and was fond of study-ing the habits of its inhabitants. One day he saw a great change in the appearance of a certain frog of which he had made a pet. It looked as if it had in some way acquired a pair of the puffed breeches which gentlemen used to wear in the courts of James the First of England and Louis the Thirteenth of France. This change made him curious to know what it meant and all the more so when he found that almost every day more and more of the frogs were wearing tlie same queer looking tilings. By watching carefully the gentle man soou found the cause of the strange, new article of frog dress. The mother frog, it seems, considers that her duty is discharged when she has laid her eggs. These all adhere together, forming a long chain of many links. As soon as she has. de posited these on the bank of the- pond she hops away, seeming to forget all about them, and they would, never hatch out if the father frog did. not. come to the rescue. With no: little difficulty he winds these chains of neglected eggs around his own thighs —thus producing the appearance of the puffed breeches. He then proceeds to hidie himself among the marshy grasses around the pond until the eggs are ready to hatch out Then he goes into- the water. In a little while the shells burst, let ting out the young tadpoles, which immediately swim awav without so much as a “thank you." Another very motherly father of the frog family is found in South America, in Chili. He is provided with a large sac, or pouch, which ex tends over the whole surface of his belly, from the mouth downwards. There is no external opening into this sac, and when Mr. Darwin first saw a male frog apparently swallowing the eggs he thought he was the worst kind of a fellow to be eating his own children! But this thought was a great in justice. On opening the frog’s mouth Mr Darwin discovered that on each side of the tonguo was an aperture down which the eggs rolled into the sac, which soon became distended with them. As the eggs hatch out in this sac, the young frogs find their way up into their careful father’s mouth, and thence out and away into the pond which is to them the wide world.— Denver Republican. Getting liea'lv to Fly. When a cocoon makes its way out of its house, where it snugly lived all winter, it is no longer a cocoon, but a butterfly; yet its wings are crumpled and limp as the petals of a rosebud, and for all the good it gets from them it might as well still be a worm. The first thing the new-born crea ture does is to get those wings into flying shape. The process begins by a little heav ing motion of the muscles at the joints of the wings, just as though it were shrugging its shoulders at the world into which it has stepped. This shrug is repeateif again and again, sometimes the exercise seems to quite exhaust it, and then it rests quietly, hanging motionless to the twig, or whatever it has fastened its tiny claws upon, for several minutes, when the shrugging process is renewed. Little by little the wings lose their crumpled appearance, strength is in fused into the veins which mark them as do the veins in a lcaf.gradually the gauzy things unfold and expand un til they lift, light and airy and strong. Sometimes a whole day is spent thus before the first attempt is made at flying1. " hat a lesson is there for us, creatures of haste and impatience.— Inter-Ocean. ■‘French as She Is Spoke." In one of his entertainments Mr. George Grossmith extracts consider able fun from “French as she is spoke” by the schoolboy. In a clever skit on the French play that forms part of the inevitable prize day pro gram; all the dialogue is of the conventional “First French Course” order, viz., “Have you seen the garden of my wife’s uncle?” “No; but I have found the pencil of my father’s sister.” I was reminded of this the other day when calling on a friend whose three small nieees had just arrived from South America. The children’s native tongue was Spanish, but evi dently a “First English Course” had been used to prepare them for their visit to this country, and their quaint high-flown phrases were a constant source of mirth to the household. They invariably prefaced each sen tence with “It is that.” “Juanita, why haven't you brushed your hair?” said my friend to the dark-eyed eldest girl, of about six. “It is that I failed to discover my brush,” was the stately reply. At that moment the baby upstairs set up a piercing yell, whereupon the second child, with hand upraised, remarked, with infinite solemnity, “Hark! the infant wails.” Easier Thun Arithmetic, It is easier to remember tilings us ually if you know what they mean. A little boy could never remember even about how long a cubit is until his father told him the word was cu bitus in Latin which means an elbow, and that the measure called cubit was tiie distance from a man's elbow to the end of his middle finger: “And how much is a fathom,” asked tiie little boy. “Oil, fathom comes from the two words, ‘fat’ which means in the Aryan language to extend, and ‘hom’ a man. A fathom is the length of a man ex tended; that is, when the arms are stretehed out on each side from the shoulders, from tip to tip of his Un gers. “The foot is an English word, and means just the length of the foot of a full grown man.” Ke Was Very Cautious. The teacher had notified Iliraan Plunkett he would be expected to re main after school was dismissed as a punishment for misconduct. Hiram was one of the big boys, and there was a perceptible tremor in his voice as he came awkwardly up to her desk and said in a low tone: “Miss .Tones, I wish you'd keep Mamie McGinnis in, too. She done just, as much whisperin’ as I dick I saw her do it.” “Why do you wish to have Mamia McGinnis kept in?” asked the teacher. “I don't want her to git jealous agm,” said Hiram, scratching the floor with the toe of his shoe. “Th’ other time you kept me in after school she wouldn’t speak to me-fur a week.” Cherries in England. English boys should be as grateful he>Sir Walter Raleigh as are English men.. The first cherry tree grown in England was planted by Sir Walter Raleigh,, at his residence,.

Not exactly! “Let me tell you, Mrs. Thomas,” said a hap-py Long Island parent t;» a rustic neighbor, “my son Ernest has got a first prize.” “Oh! I quite un derstand your feeling, inarm.” said Mrs. Thomas. “I felt just the same when our young pig carried off a me.lul at the agricultural show.” Didn’t Know. “Xow, Johnny,” said the teacher, “you may tell us this: Suppose your mother had told you to come home at 5 o'clock, and you did not go; what would you be doing?” “I don't know whether it would ba swimmin' or playin' baseball.” •• Castoria Is so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me.” II.
