He is very fond of fruit, and when he sees
his mistress eating an apple he Will waddle
toward her, crawl upon her lap, stretch up
his long neck and snap the apple out OF her
mouth. This is one of the cute tricks which
the lady has taught him. You would never
believe a turtle had so much sense. If the
lady calls Jumbo! Jumbop he creeps up to
her in his awkward way as fast as he can and
laws his queer hcld in her hand. He is very
fond of her, and so gentle that he never bites
anybody The kind lady buys bananas for
him. He snaps them up in way that is
funny to see.
In summer Jumbo Is in clover. He wan
ders through the yard, eating grass and snap
ping ut flies and insects. II he sees the cat
asleep in the sun he moves Clumsily up and
lies down beside her. He seems lonesome
and fond of company. His back is 50 broad
that a large boy can sit in chair upon 1t.
Then Jumbo crawlS about the yard and gives
the boy ride in fine style. When the family
move from one house to another Jumbo IS
loaded upon u wagon and moved with the
other property
Jumbo is what Is called alternating crea-
ture That is, he goes into warm place and
sleeps all winter, and does not eat anything
at all At the return of warm weather out
he comes, lively and hungry Wild terrapins
burrow down deep in the ground, below
frost, at the approach Of winter, and lie there
dormant In the spring they come up with
the earth sticking upon their backs. But
being a civilized turtle, Jumbo has a house
built for him. 1t is in the basement of the
large house, and is lined with cotton batting
and is made very warm. At the first frost
he creeps into this snug nest, and nobody sees
Jumbo again till next summer. And there
he is ut this moment. ELIZA ARCHARD.

checkers, chess, domnocS, backgammon,
boxes Of paints and sets of boys carpenter
tools aud toy engines that will make real
steam and run tiny machinery. A young
peoples paper or magazine for year is not
a bad present. 4 nice penknife or Jack
knife Is good; So Is watch for good sized
boys and girls. There are very excellent
small silver aud nickel watches to be bought
right cheap now. Silver thimbleS are very
good, or gold ones if you are rich enough.
Among the best Of all is microscope or a
magic lantern. There are some beautiful
magic lanterns now that are not very eN.

APOLOGIES,

\ succession of apologies is most obnoxious
to guest And yet this is breach of good
breeding more difficult to avoid than almost
any other. 1t is certainly great temptation
when one invites a friend to dinner, and
everything happens to go wrong on that par
tcular day, to speak of it and apologize for
it; but this does not mend matters, and only
makes the guest feel uncomfortable The
we'll bred host passes over unfortunate cir
CmnStanccS, such as the undercOoking Of a
roast the spilling of soup or gravy, the
breaking of Il glass with the least possible
notice. An apology only directs attention to
the miShap and does not do away with it,
Some people will begin the moment q guest
enters their household and make an apology
for every room the guest enterS-for every
meal eaten 1t is, Il intended Ia have that
sofa fixed last week." or "ThiS fire should
have been made" or IL am about to change
my cook, My butcher will not have an op-
portunity to send me such another piece Of
meat" Such references are a mark of i'll
breeding, and a failure to notice all de-
ticicncies is the mark of a gentleman or
lady
