Double v.

"It's to mel It's to mel" said Genie,
reading the address on the small box
left at the door by the "expressman."
"Cut the cord quick, mother!"
The cord was cut and the paper wrap
per taken off the box, when her mothers
eye detected slight motion, as if one
corner Of the boxlid was slowly pushing
up to give something breath of air.
Il am afraid we have traveller here
who wants to get in without knocking"
said Genie's mother, carefully lifting
the cover of the box.
"Oh, ohl the ugly, pretty thingl" ex-
claimed Genie.
The "ngly, pretty thing" was little
turtle. His shell was about the size of
silver dollar.
He has had long journey, shut NJ
30 tight said Genie's mother, as she
shook the turtle out carefully into
basin of water, where he foundered
and swan, and seemed quite at home.
Oh, how pretty he is underl' ex-
claimed Genie, turning him on his back
with little stick. 1.-TWO green VS. OF
yellow ground. I mean to call him
Double v"
And SO this is the name of Genie's
turtle, that travelled alone in the dark,
without any lunch," all the way from
Kansas, where he was born, and where
he has cousins very much like himself,
only they have scarlet VS. instead OF
yellow.
Double VS. head is green, striped,
and dashed with yellow lines; his eyes
are Jet black. There are two vermihop
spots on his head. one each side inst
back of his eyes, and very small red
spot between these, on the top of his
bead
The upper part of his shell is green,
edged all around with small scallops of
yellow. 1t is regularly marked off with
lines of black and yellow.
His tail is another double V, said
Genie, after watching him while
longer. It was light yellow, and shaded
by green Y on the top.
Does this kind ever grow into the
tortoise-shell turtle, that combs, and
sleeve-buttons, and things are made of p
asked Genie.
No; there is only one kind of turtle
whose shell is used in that way. It is
called the hawk's-bill turtle It's shell
is almost transparent, and beautifully
colored.'
How do they put the gold in, like
the gold stars in the balls Of Aunt
Marv's comb?o
The shell is put in boiling water
Gntil it becomes soft. Then the gol9
can be put upon it, and it is pressed in
molds and polished"
Well, my turtle is pretty enough to
have gold stars pressed into his shell,
said Genie, but I'd rather have him
sailing around in the water and enjoy
ing himself. And then, if he gets tired,
and feels as if he was in prison, we can
| just take him to the sand-bar, and let
him slip off into the river. But shan
let you go just yet. Double v"

An Estlletic Tramp.

He walked into the sample room and
took his stand directly in front of the

the alleged ediblcs in manner which
caused the bartender to yell at him:

England's. New Steel ships Of War.

Three steel-clad ships are, it seems,
at this moment building in the Govern
ment yards at Portsmouth, Pembroke
and Chatham. What their cost will ul-
timately be when completed it is too
early to make even rough guess; but
the two larger ones, to be named the
Majestic and Colossus, are not likely,
SO far as we at present know of the ex-
pensive material of which they are to
be composed, to be finished and fitted
for sea for less than $1,OOO,OOO apiece
The least of the three, the Conqueror,
whose lines have been laid down at
Chatham, is to be some 1000 tons less
than her big sisters, but they are all tc
be built on the model of the Infexible
turret-ship, and not Of the old broadside
or other, to have been abandoned for
some time past. The Majestic and
Colossus are to measure 9,10O tons, and
will, therefore, be considerably smaller
than the Infexible; but, as their armo,
will be of steel, there is no necessity fol
carrying SO much of it. The Infexible
turret-ship carried twenty four-inch ar
mored plates on her turrets, while it is
anticipated that the same amount of
protection will be afforded to the Colos-
sus and her sister by sixteen inches OF
steel. Moreover, steel will be employed
in building the ships as we'll as in per-
fecting them; and in this way it will be
possible to construct them upon finer
lines, while still remaining as strong as
broader craft Of iron. A greater speed
will also result from this innovation
and the Majestic and the Colossus, pro-
vided with engines of 6,O0O-horse
power, will doubtless realize speed o.
sixteen miles an hour under favorable
circumstances. Like the Infexible,
and the Ajax, and Agamemnon, our new
steel-clads are not to have their revolv-
ing turrets in line with the ship, as in
the case with the Thunderer and earlier
vessels Of this type; but the two struct
nres will be placed diagonally across
the deck, SO that all the guns can be
tired right ahead of dead astern. Lon

Wonderful Slippers.

Students in general, ard medical stu
dents particularly, enjoy things outre.
The skull and crossbones being too old
a story for Max Weldon, of Lafayette,
Ind, that young patron Of Cincinnati
medical college has procured pair Of
slippers made from the hide of hu-
man subject. The hide belonged to
one of Weldon's fellow sawbones, whose
name he will not give. The nameless
student got it into his head to send the
hide to shoemaker in Cincinnati. The
latter first had the thing tanned, and
without SO much as shudder gave it
over at last to the knife and awl. The
footgear show their peculiar texture.
To the innocent Boccacio Of the
Lafayette Courier, in which 3 sketch
Of the slippers appeared, "the leather
seemed light brown in color, and was
streaked with parallel veinings of a
darker shade, the whole as soft as silk. .
Among his friends continues the
Courier, athe doctor makes no secl ct
of the mystery Of the slippers" He
thinks, in fact, that there is no more
harm in wearing them than in wearing
rings made from human bone, OF, in
deed, of sporting watchguards OF
human hair. The Courier had some
fears at first lest it was being hoaxed,
but, to verify the matter, such Of the
hide as had not been put into the slip
pers was produced, thus setting all
doubts at rest.
