HORSES FED ON BEEF8TEAK8.
1'lie Knglish of Chickahominy is
Turkey Lick, but it ought to be frog |
lick. I lie great future and the golden
opportunity of Chickahominy swamp
is in frog fanning. There is a grow-
ing demand in the markets of the
large cities for the hindlegs of frogs.
Fulton market, New York, alone
handles from 75,000 to 100,000
pouuds of legs annually. There is
no frog farm in the Uuited States,
the crop being wholly wild, hut in
one section of Missouri, where the
catching* of frogs is quite an indus-
try, one towu ships 50,000 pounds
and another town 26,000 pounds of
dressed frog legs to New York each
year. The catching season lasts
ahout three months, and the profit of
those engaged in the work is large.
In this section the average person
regards frog legs pretty much as he
does 'coon—he could eat them, but
he doesn't tanker after them.—Yet
whether a big market can be made
here for them or not, it would seem
to the interest of people living adja-
cent to our swamps to look into the
question of competing with the oats or meal. I'he animals, so far
western Held In supph iug the north- from refusing, seenj to relish the mix-
crn markets with the delicacy. Ouriture, and it is thought to improve
people engage in oyster farming and their condition and courage, but if
continued too long they become vi-
cious and their throats deteriorate.
"A well known titled lady ex-
pends a good-sized sum altogether in
meat for her numerous carriage
horses and hacks. She has one mare
that will greedily eat a beefsteak un-
mixed with meal if minced small, and
it has one per week. I know a re-
tired army colonel, too, a famous
hunting man, who frequently gives
his hunters beef tea and other 'meat
extracts' in'their bran mash. Possi-
bly it's not entirely mere fail, for
there is one London brewery whose
horses are similarly treated, and a
faniO'is race horse that won some im-
portant eveuts last season was given
a partial diet of meat at intervals."
"Of all fads that fashionable peo-
ple indulge in over their pets, 1 think
the strangest idea is that of giving
their horses meat af a variation to
their ordinary diet," said a veterinary
surgeon.
"Beef only is used. It is baked
until quite dry and hard, then min-
ced very fine, and given mixed with
Stoves, Japanned and Stamped Tin
ware. The largest assortment of
Carpenter's Tools, Builder's Hard
ware, Cuttlery, Fence Wire, Ktc.
Lamps, tilass. Oil, Paints. Ktc Ktc.
Thankful to the Public for liberal
patronage bestowed upon tiie old
tirm, 1 ask a continuance of same.

The hardest thing about "hard
times" is the fact that well-to-do peo-
ple are always the Iirst to take alarm
and the leaders in economy. The
result of this is that the vast multi-
tude whose livelihood is derived from
the various trades and arts that pan-
der to luxury are the lirst to be
thrown out of employment in their
legitimate lines and are brought into
competition in a stagnating labor
market, and general suffering is the
consequence. There would be little
suffering if those who are not cramp-
ed for means would take advantage
of seasons of stringency to invest in
building and repairing. This would
be in the line of true enterprise and
economy for they would obtain labor
and materials at reduced rates, and
it would hold up the prices of pro-
perty by keeping the people employ-
ed who pay rents and buy goods. In
every large city periods of financial
stringency are taken advantage of
foi pushing public works, and the
rule that works well for corporations
is applicable to individuals.—Kx-
change.
Persons who have traveled in orien-
tal countries have frequently en-
countered shell money. Many Ameri-
cans have brought specimens of it
home with them as souvenirs. In-
vestigations by the director of the
I nited States mint show that mi
many parts of Asia and Africa cow-
ries, or small shells, are still used as
a medium of exchange for small
values. The cowrie in Siatn is the
smallest unit of value. It would take
about 1"7 cowries to make one
American cent. At the mint in
bangkok the range of values is as fol-
lows: Kight hundred cowries equal
1 fuang, - fuangs equal 1 salting, I
saltings equal 1 bat or tical, and 1 bat
or tical equals about 60 cents of
l ulled States money. In Siam 219
or 220 cowries are reckoned equal to
1 penny sterling.
They know how to punish the
fiends who are guilty of inhuman
brutality, in Paris. Last week a man
for the horrible treatment of his son
was sentenced to imprisonment at
hard labor for life, and his mother
and another female accomplice to
imprisonment for fifty years, at Lard
labor.
Curse cards are being used in
Switzerland and Germany to check
profanity. People go about with
cards in their pockets, and whenever
they hear bad language present one
to the swearer to sign. The card has
printed on it a pledge to abstain
from swearing for a specified time or
to pay a penalty on oath to some
charity. Nearly 10,000 cards have
been distributed in Switzerland,
where there are three languages to
swear in.

Don't judge a man by the clothes
he wears; God made one and the
tailor the other. Don't judge a man
by his family, for Cain belonged to a

fails because he is too honest to suc-
ceed. Don't judge a man by the

an honest occupation, as long as you

It is stated that the miscreant,
Congosto, on hearing that the Sen-
ate had passed the Morgan resolu-
tion, declared that action to be the
work of Consul General Lee; where-
upon the latter, true to his name and
nation, went to Congosto and exacted
an humble apology, which, of course,
was given. Gen. Lee knows how to

begun to put schoolhouse playgrounds
on the top of the structures, land hav-
ing become so valuable. At least one
school building in New York city and
one in Kast Newark are so provided,

level. High iron fences furnish pro-
tection at the edge of the roof, and
these ' grounds" an provided with
