"Didn't know that they were frog eaters, eh? Why, bless you, sir, frog and grass hopper are as much a part of their diet a rice and fish. It I entertaining, too, to watch thetn catch frogs. The rlc paddles, when the rice is about half grown, comprise veritable frog marshes. You will thn see hundred of the Filipino swarming out to the ridge and dike In the rlc field with their frog hunting paraphernalia. These comprise a small ring of bamboo probably four or flv lnche In diameter, to which la attached the bait of worms. This ring of wriggling worm 1 tied to a long pole, with a string three or four feet long. Then ther I a long sack of three or four feet with an opening of six or eight Inches held open at the top by a bamboo ring, and this, too, I attached to a long pole. The frrg hunter swings out hi bait ring, holding it Just above the surface of the marsh, and Mr, Frog make a grab for a worm and hang on to it until raised high enough to get the aaok under him, and a he looses hi hold h drop Into the sack. If he hang On too lung a light shake of the bait pole will detach htm and In he goes Into the sack. The Filipinos are very expert In this method and seldom lose a frog. Oh, I do not know just how they do prepare them tor food, a I have never been Invited- to a frog dinner, but I do hot think tfcoy let any of the frog go to waatt. Leag oai Grasshopper. "Then, too, they are great grasshopper eater. I do hot know whether they got the habjt from the Digger Indiana or the Digger got It from the Filipinos. They gather the 'hopper In great quantities by meaiul of wide-mouthed sacks on stout t pole. They will get into a grasshopper herd and give the eack a violent swing through ths awarra, gathering a much as a quart or half a pock at a awing of the ack X never did learn the process of their preparation of the grasshoppers for a meal and ki ourloalty waa hardly violent enough to seek a practical demonstration. "Rogardtug the prospoot of American making ranch of a success of the hemp ralalng x Industry in the islands for the present, I have my doubts. The trouble lies, not with the lack of enterprise on the part of the Americans, but because the buslneea I In the hand of other nationalities there, and the hemp raisers are veritable coolie who are deeply In debted to the plautatlon owner, and, even were they disposed to work for Americans, they are handicapped at the start by this debt that I constantly hanging over them. The moment the native show any dlsposU tlon of Independence of their avaricious and mei-clles creditor they are persecuted and deprived or their possessions. In many Instanoea whole families are bound by debt to the proprietor and they never will be able to clear themselvo of the debt and It la not the Interest of the pro prietor to let them do so. , Lsaiber nasi dcs PronsUtair.' "The lumber buslneas has great possl bllitle In the Islands. There Is an abund ance of mahogany there, but a market will have to bo created for It before It can be profitably worked. The mahogany forest are generally remote from the sea coat and there are virtually no roads In the country, the only method of trans portation being by caacoe. I think the time 1 oomlng when the lumber industry will become a vory Important ono there, but It Is tlll a long way in the future. "The labor question l the vital one In the Philippines. But only native labor can bo employed remunera tively. I would not advise Ameri can laborers to go to the Islands. Ther Is such an abundance of native population there, and they will work for almost noth ing, and can live on grasshoppers, frog, fish and rice and get fat and happy on the diet I do not believe that the average American worklngman could accustom hlm eelf to thatxklnd of grub, but he would have to do It If he expected to compel with native labor."

T., a few miles west of Blnghamton, re centfy cut flown a tree In his woods. A the tree fell he stepped to one side, when he was struck oi the head by a sapling that had been bent over by the falling tree and had suddenly sprung back. The blow cut a gash in his forehead and stunned him badly. It wa thought that the injury would not be serious, and it waa not, a far as physical Indications went Instead of recovering from the blow Mr. Smith lost all memory of his life for the last forty years and Imagines himself to be a boy again at the age he was forty years ago. He goes about the farm on which he lived when a boy and wants to plsy boyish game and prank as of yore. "Much to the chagrin and regret of the editor," says the Holdrege (Neb.) Progress, "a ridiculous error In last week' Issue of the Progress was not discovered until ths whole edition waa out. The mistake ap peared In an Item referring to the Illness of Mrs. L. T. Titua and her mother. Mra. Sargent, wherein Dr.' 'Klllemqulck' of Lin coln had been called In consultation by Dr. Whittler, who had the case In charge. It should have read Dr. Bailey of Lincoln. The item was written and set in type about U o'clock Thursday night, when it wa Im possible to ascertain by 'phone or other wise the doctor' name. Hence 'Klllem qulck,' It was deemed, occupied sufficient room for the proper name to b ascer tained In the morning before the publica tion. In the rush consequent on going to press Friday morning, however, the error wa overlooked. A before stated, the edi tor very much regrets the error and makes humble apology," Mrs. Joseph Callowlta went to bed at her home la Centralla, Pa., and woke up In the morning on top of a box car.

It turned at right angles with the track and plunged Into the build ing. It cut a swath eight feet wide through the barroom. The car was so high that It reached the first floor celling, and as it dashel Into the house It tore out the floor of the room above the aaloon. In which Mrs. Callowlta and an Infant were sleep ing. The car roof took the plaeo of the floor, and Mra CallowlU'a bed aettled firmly upon It.

At 11 o'clock-ths weather report Is blown to the four winds by a code of blasts and shrieks and toots, and when there are special reports announcing cold waves or snowstorms these are whistled without do lay, so that he who listens may learn. At 12:80 there Is a warning blast, ht which every one pulls out his watch and gets the standard eastern time fresh from the pipe. And then at I o'clock In the evening there la Just one long blast, which announces that curfew will not ring tonight, but that every boy and girl under 18 year must acurry for horn and mother or be caught by on of the five regular policemen, or perhaps a special, who Is watching out for th well being of the rising generation. Furthermore, there I a siren whistle which screeches for" fir and flood. It gives th number of the box. and If It Is a flood that Is going to waste without a crowd to watch It, eight short blasts follow the announce ment of the box number.

The storm was raging all this time, and" It wa necessary to place the bird below to keep It from being washed overboard. The close con finement and the fact that the eagle re fused to eat resulted in its death In three days.

CREAMY INDUSTRY GROWTH Development of Batter Making in Htbruka fibowi Up Wonderfully. DAIRY INTERESTS OF STATE EXPANDING Tweatr Millies Posass of Better Worth rive MUIloa Dollars the Owtset tor Last Year. The development of the creaVaery In- Aiiatrv In ttia atmtfk nf Nahraak 1 best expressed In the output of creamery pro- auction in ine state aunng mo pmsv which will approximate 20.000,000 pounds ot IB cents per pound, thus realising to the state 15,000,000 from tnia industry aione. This will be Increased during th current year 60 per cent. L'p to within th past four years ther were numberless small creameries In the state which were operated very generally at a loss. They were owned and operated by communities and were crude In their equipment, and farmers brought their milk direct to the creameries, where It waa re ceived In a more or lesa damaged con dition, and when It waa accepted the farmer had to haul his skimmed milk back, thus making two trips with Its In cidental expense and poor results gener ally. The introduction of the band sepa rator has done away with all this and most of the creameries In the remote dis tricts are now mads receiving stations, thus affording a market for the cream right at the very doors of the farmers and dairymen, while they save all the skimmed milk for feeding calves, poultry, pigs, etc. The hand separators operated by the In dividual former sr dairyman extract virtu ally all the butter fat from the milk, which la about In the proportion of ten pounds of cream to every 100 pounda of milk, and this butter fat la aold at the receiving stations at about 20 cents per pound. Approximately four and three fourths pounds of butter are produced from ten pounds of butter fat Ckornlng Does at Ceat'ors. Th butter Is churned at the great cen tral churning station In the larger cities of the state owned and operated by the big creamery companies. The cream Is shipped from the receiving stations, of which there are over 600 In this state, in ten-gallon shipping can. The shipments are Invsriably made by passenger trains In expreas or baggage cars, though the growth of the Industry throughout the state is necessitating the building of special cars for cream shipments and sev eral of the big creameries have their own private cars for this purpose. There are practleaiiv k., , ' products realized from the cream at the buttermilk, or casein, tw. i. . and ever-increasing demand for buttermilk -.v.a, ua ,everal thousands of Rallons of t are .old dally to consumer.

This waa done soma rears k.. i. ... .... abandoned In this state now, especially by .-.e.r creameries. This class of butter-was formerly called process butter, but the government has required It te be labeled aa "renovated" butter. There la but nine aemana for it, and Its production la not profitable. It Is unquestionably more profitable for ths farmers and dairymen to !! v.oi. cream to the creameries tha a i e i This Is made practlcabls by. the cheap and numoenes varieties of hand separator, all of which ar good, whereby allef the aklmmed milk la saved for calves. Conse quently, Instead of sacrificing the calves for a nominal price, In order to save the milk, ths calves are beenmln mm- ble. and the farmer finds It profitable te aeep mem and thus Increase his herd. Nor Is It alone with the erdlnarr farmae it. but a few head of cow, that this profit accrue. Th cattlemen throughout th tat are beginning to realise that an ordi nary cow can contribute from 8 to $12 per month from the cream product of her milk alone without robbing the calf of particle of It nourishment, and make just that much clear profit, hitherto unthougtt of, as en incident to the cattle Industry. Enormous quantities of cream are shipped from the cattle crowlna- counties nf h tat. Custer county, for Instance, 1 on of th greatest cream-producing section or ths state. Vast quantitea are also re ceived from Box Butte, Cheyenne, Dawes, Sheridan and 8loux counties, as well as from all the southwest counties of tha state, In addition to the steady and enor mous stream of shipments from the older and more thickly settled portions of th tat. Km Favored Locality. No special locality of the state produces any better! cream than any other part The excellence of the cream lies wholly with the farmer who produces it The milk Is weighed snd tested at the receiving stations and as good cream Is liable to come from Bloux county as from Douglas or Gage county. There are three great creamery Institu tions in the state of Nebraska that control ths bulk of ths trade, though there are several minor establishments In the stats also. In the city of Omaha all tha greater creameries have churning stations, and there ar four creameries In the city al together.. Come of these deliver milk and cream to local customers, while the larger establishments handle only the butter and casein. Th chief trouble th creameries hav to contend with la to get th cream to ths creameries In proper shape. Everything about a creamery must be run at a high pressure, for time I valuable, owing to the perishable nature of th cream. Nebraska Is rspldly taking Its place In th very for moot rank of butter produolng States, nd th Nebraska product com mands a premium from Ban Francisco to New York and from New Orleans to Chi cago. Ths two largest creameries In th United State are bow located In ths state, whose Joint products of butter during the present year will reach K.ou).ou pounda Ten free trip to th World's Fair each week. 6e couooa en paf tea.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES., A vigorous crusade against sulcld foods tn the high schools ot New York City was started some time ago, and many evils have been eliminated. Gustav Kohn ot New Orleans has pre sented to '!'u lane university bis - priceless natural history collection, which comprises every living creature native to Louisiana, besides a sclentlilc library of 1,000 valuable volumes. Henry R. Edmunds, president - of the Philadelphia Board of Education, says halt the public . school pupils of that city are suffering- from Ills-brought on by overstudy. Th principal evils resulting, he says, ar nervous affections and detective eyesight, both largely traceable to excessive home tudy and the crowding of too many branches Into the elementary grades. He champion th abolition of afternoon classes and me wiping out ot an noma stuay, con fident that children thereby would be more healthy in body and ml ad. "Th Ideal Instrument of punishment," says a New York school principal, "Is a strip of rubber hos from which th rubber covering has been removed, leaving the canvas and composition. This Is light enough to warrant that Its us would be no Injury, and at the same time It carries an unmistakable sting that will last from nv to niteen minute.

Th standard f popular education tn Sweden ha been steadily rising from the time of the reformation and th indication point to even greater efficiency ahead. It should ba noted that a large preponderance of th population of th kingdom ha remained of a rural character, and public education ha been adapted most closely to agricul tural needs. Th first beginnings o( the national school system were made In 1686. In that year a law wa naoted to insure for all children a sound religious education, so far as reading and knowledge of th Lutheran catechism were concerned. In 1M2 th national compulsory law of educa tion was Introduced. Modifying acts hav appeared since, but the present system comes frpm that date.
