Turtles which supply the soup Of alder
manic icast~ are found in immense numbers
on the northern coast of Mexico, in the
ncighborhood Of Nathan, and the partlcu-
lar species known a the green turtle. the
most highly priced OF the whole, Is found
nowhere else than on this coast. With the
immense wealth that could be derived from
the catching and canning OF them, 1t might
be deemed surprising that such an enter
prise was not started long since but the
easy going disposition Of the nelghb0r-
ing people. and the difficulty Of putting
that turtle up in such manner as would
ensure its preservation in all climates and
under all conditions has proved a bar to it.
The attempt has been made several times,
but it has Invariably resulted in failure, until
undertaken by p. NJ. Scooty, who Is at pres
ent in this city trying 10 organize a com
pany t. carry on the business on a proper
scale.
About four years ago Mr.. Scoofy first be-
gan his series of experiments, and two years
ago succeeded Since then he has been car
rying on the industry in a small and unsa-
tisiactory style, being crippled by want of
capital Che having lost $4,000 in the eX-
periments) and by want of COMPETENT hands.
Some whom he had engaged IN this city,
and who represented themselves as experts,
he for long time paid 800 per month but
they proved themselves incompetent-not
even saving single can. But Mr.. .Scooiy
himself has put up about 200 cans, most of
which he has sold OF Fort Yuma, Tucson
and Guaymas. Some which were exposed
for eight months to the sun, rain, etc, in
Lower California, when opened, appeared
as fresh as the day when they were first
canned.
The turtles are caught in the vicinity of
Guavmas, ana each weighs about one hun
bred and seyentyiye pounds. They can be
caught day and night. and every month
in the year; but the best time is from May
to September. They are there in millions.
From twenty-five TO seyenty-five cents each
is paid for catching them, and from fifteen
to twenty day can be caught, in a canoe
Mr.. Scoofy, However, never required so
many in his experiments, using but ten or
twelve day. The mode of catching them
is by using small harpoon. which pene-
trates the shell, bat does not iUure the
flesh. The method of canning followed is
more in conformity with the English than
with the American style, Only about one

The Temperance Movement.

In Easton an organization has been
effected 10 further the temperance re-
form movement, which has already &C.
complished much good. Thus far It has
succeeded in closing about o dozen
drinking houses, that were proven to
have violated the law. Those compos.
ing 1t are also enforcing the Sunday
law. Ministers, lawyers and leading
citizens are enlisted In the good cause,
!, and are working harmoniously together.
Everywhere the work of reform is
advancing as never before. The papers,
daily and weekly, religious and secular,
give much space to notices of it In their
columns, and almost without exception
commend it.
The woman's movement so far from
dying out, is steadily rising ; although
assuming different phase in Its work
ings. In our large cities, as well as in
our towns and villages, they are organ
izing and going to work, in many in
stances, quietly. Neither is the moves
ment confined to this country. The
mighty wave has rolled across the At
lantic, and in Great Britain there is such
feeling on the subject rs was probably
never before known. In one town in
Scotland, on reading of what their Anne.
rican sisters had done, 5000 wives, mo-
theirs and daughters met to pray for
temperance. In well nigh all their
homes beer was used, but they decided
It must be given up-and they signed
the pledge. In one week in that town,
through their labors, there were sixty
less licenced sellers.
A tide of reform has set in which
promises to overthrow the whole ini-
quitous and accursed traffic in strong
drink. The most hopeful thing in this
movement is the religious element per-
vading 1t. When the churches come
fully to recognize how utterly at vari-
ence with the gospel Of Christ rum SELL
ing and rum drinking are, she will clear
her skirts of the entire thing. The
movement has assumed, at last, the
right phase to prove triumphant
We bid 1t God-speed.
