A recent letter to the New York
Sun says: The account published in
the Sun of a fight between two tur-
ties in Big Walker Pond, near ShOhO-
la, Penn, and the relation of the sin
gular tenaclty Of life shown by the
head of one Of the turtles even after
decapitation, brings a gentleman from
Huguenot, n. Y, to the front with
story of an even more wonderful case.
In this instance the gentleman and his
brother had been spearing fish at
night in a river near their home.
When returning they saw in the water
a large turtle of the swapping variety.
In an instant the spear went down,
and between the prOngs, when 1t came
up, was the neck of the turtle The
reptile was lifted out on the bank, and
the spear pressed down in the soil.
The head was then cut off and left
fast to the spear, which remained
sticking in the ground until morning,
the turtle being taken home Next
morning the spear was wanted, and
one of the youngsters about the farm
brought it in, bearing 1t aloft with the
head of the turtle still remaining
between the prongs 1t was set down
In the door-yard, and remained there
until nearly noon. About that time
an inquisitive chicken began picking
at the head Of the turtle. Suddenly
the mouth opened and again collapsed,
and between the jaws was the head of
the inquiring chicken. It was even
ing before the strength had left the
Jaws of the turtle sufficiently to allow
the chickens release. The chickens
head had been crushed, and the poor
little fellow was dead. This is believ-
ed to be the most remarkable case on
record, where gangliac motion has
been retained for nearly twenty-four
hours.

Al 0rlentnl HospltaI ror Animals.


The jams, like other Buddhists
have a strong respect for all animal
life, not only that which is beautiful,
but that which is weak, helpless, and
even hideous. The hospital is but one
evidence Of this. The visitor describes
the scene as both ludlcrOus and pa
thetlc. "The monkey part Of the hos
pital was the most entertaining. A
big ape supported itself on crutches;
another sick inmate was lying stretch
cd full length on the floor, gazing
most piteously into the keepers face
1t seemed to be an object of deep in
terest to all the other monkeys who
clustered around 1t. The native doc
tor shook his head solemnly, and If 1t
had been a human being he could not
have said more tenderly that she was
dying In these compartments were
collected, as it almost seemed, every
known quadruped and biped on the
face of the globe. Old elephants, d.
lapidated buffaloes, deplumed ravens,
vultures, and buzzards hobnobbled to-
gether with gray-bearded goats and
most foOllsh-looking rams; rats, mice,
rabbits, hens, herons, lame ducks, for
lorn old cocks, and sparrows, jackals,
old owls. and geese, live here in har-
mony side by side Ihave been shown
through palaces which interested me
less. We waited to see this curious
medley of inmates dine When the
food which suited each class was being
conveyed by band Of attendant boys
to their various troughs, pens, etc.
the noise and confusion were deafen-
ing. The monkeys IN particular, with
the peacocks-birds the most sacred to
the Hindus and Jaina-raised such a
howl and were so importunate to be
served first that we were glad to es-
cape. Such is the extreme to which
Oriental charity is carried. But, after
all, there is something very noble and
touching about this inarmary' for the
brute creation. Every one who finds
any animal wounded, sick, aged, or
dying. is authorized to bring it here;
and here It is really well cared for I'M
til death comes to relieve It from all
suffering Who can estimate the
power of an institution that is cOntin-
ually caring for dumb mutes of the
animal kingdom, who bear not only
mans burdens, but his harshness and
neglect, with the patience of almost
sanctifed beings"

ssE PIurIbus Unum -

1t is q somewhat curious fact that
the words "E Pluribus Unum," which
have appeared on different United
States coins, and are on the standard
silver dollar, were never authorized to
be so placed by law. They were arst
used on coins in 1856. There was no
United States Mint then, but there
was private one at Newburg, and
the motto Of the United States was
first placed on copper coin struck at
that mint A very few collections
have specimens Of this coin. They are
very valuable In 1857 a goldsmith
named Brasher coined a piece which
was known as the S16 gold piece, and
the motto, placed IN this form, "Unum
E Pluribus," was stamped upon it.
The coin is worth to-day $4,000, and
only four are known to be in exist
enca In 1887 the motto also appear
ed on various copper coins of the State
of New Jersey.

1GTote Your Own SkiIIet. .

The above phrase that is being so
often quoted by speakers and writer's
is not of modern date, but is said to
have originated in the early settling
up of this country; when accordingly
there was war and bloodshed between
the Indians and "pale faces" Gas they
called the whites). During one Of
these skirmishes the Indians captured
a white man and started on a forced
march. They had some skillets and
putting them in a sack concluded to-
make a pack horse of their prisoner
force him to tote them. Their path
way led through a rough, rocf ! wild
erness. When stopping at a secluded
spot for the night the unfortunate
prisoner who had struggled through
the long hours of the day with his
heavy burden upon his shoulder. with
his bare feet bleeding, cut by the
rough stones, approached the chief.
Looking him full in tbs face he ex-
claimed: II have toted your skillet to-
day, but after this every man must
tote his own skillet" -Butler (Ga.)
Herald.

The Mother Knew.

Fond mother-"Now look here,
George, I want you to break off with
that girl. She is very pretty and all
that. but I know her too well to want
you to risk your life and happiness by
marrying her. Why, she knows no
more about housekeeping than l do
about Greek; not a bit"
George-"Perhaps not, but she can
learn"
"After marriage is rather late for
that, George"
"But you said yourself that you did
not know a thing about housekeeping
until after you were married"

father died Of dyspepsia twenty years

The fact is admitted by an inter
viewed Snowman that the feats of
beasts and children in the sawdust ring
are, in the main, produced by torture
From the biggest elephant to the small
lest girl on an equestrian's shoulders
compulsion under the fear Of severe
punishment is the incentive. He re-
members that a man once had q small
boy in training as hurdle rider Of four
ponies. The act is a familiar one. Us
done with full sized horses by an adult,
the performer standing on the back of
one animal. managing them all by
Teins, and finally leaping along with
his own steed over the hurdles. The
youngster had an arduous winter at
the work, and finally mastered 1t
through his greater terror of the
teacher than of the horseback danger.
Now, 1t is a traditional usage among
circus people that smile must be on
the face of a performer. A ballet
girl without her characteristic grin
would be no greater a curiosity than
an equestrian who did not show his
teeth along with his agility. But this
child found It almost impossible to
smile. Instead, distressful express
sion of fright came into his face. That
would not do, and he was literally
dubbed until he smiled.
