"Th avers; Filipino can discount
Johnny Crapeau ten to on and then lomi
a a connoisseur on frog; diet," ald an offi
cer at army headquarters.
"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."

The murh abused mother-in-law get an
other stab In the following atory related by
the always ready Champ Clark of. Missouri:
"A young married man who was away
from his Missouri home on a visit, received
a message by wire stating: 1 regret to In
form you that your mother-in-law 1 dead,
passed away yesterday at I o'clock. Shall
we embalm, cremate or bury herT Do not
wish to take any step until w hear from
you.
"In order that ther should be no mls
tsk that the old lady was safely out of the
way, the young husband wined back:
"Embalm, cremate and bury her.'
. Edward Omlth. a farmer of Nichols, N.
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,"

In Ithaca, N. T.. tney whistle for It The
whlatle on th sewef purnplnf station blows
at 8, Vi, l'and 5 o'clock to announce the
municipal working day of eight hours. 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

Is going to waste without a crowd to watch
It, eight short blasts follow the announce

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.

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

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 proper way to
apply It 1 to place a boy across a desk
with his race down ana let it tana with 1
medium fore on th part of th body '
easiest to reach under th circumstances."
Ther Is a school tn Springfield, Mass.,
whose business It Is to train young men
and woman ot foreign birth or parentage
tor Intelligent American citlsenshlp. It la '
a small school, and feeble, whose slogan is
not chanted by throngs of friends on ath
letic fields, or at alumni banquets, whose
nam Is unknown outside th UtU round
of It Immediate activity. But te ever)
American .of th old stock who holds hl
country dear th French-American colleai
must be an object of Interest. It Is an
effort to develop a fore which shall help
lo sav ne cngianu to usuii, lo preserve
tha old typ of civilization now so vigor
ously threatened by th constantly rising
uue oi immigration.
Bweden seldom attracts ths attention of
the average American teacher, although tn
matter educational It has many lessons
for educators throughout tha world. 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. As a result of Its
excellence practically everyone In th coun
try can read and writ.
