The turtle had assembled the beach to a
point above high tide, had stirred up the
sand, leaving a great heap over her eggs,
and returned to the water but a short
time before we landed. This was shown
by the ebbing tide, which had retreated
only a short distance from her last tracks.
The eggs were laid in a bunch and covered
with SAND a foot and a half deep. There
were just 139 of them. They resemble a
white rubber ball, an inch and a half in
diameter. The sea turtles eggs have a
peculiar flavor, but are very palatable.
The CLAIR becomes tough and leathery by
boiling, and is always thrown away.
The breeding season of the l~oggerhead
(chclonia %carettal lasts from May well
into August, according to the statement
of our guide, who also said that they de-
posted eggs several times in this period,
producing as many as $50 at the first lay
ing, and perhaps no more than two or
three at the last. The natives make Il
business like search for these eggs each
year, and sometimes surprise the female
turtle on the beach. When she has once
begun the egg laying process it has to be
finished, even if she is urned on her back
and mad a prisoner Immediately after.
The extraordinary egg producing powerof
these animals is all that preserves them
from immediate extinction. Popular

"Talk about superstitionsl Railroad
men are as superstitious as they make
them,' remarked an old engineer as he
was oiling his engine. II have as much
faith in my machine as have in human
being, n she acts as crankly sometimes.
Oh, yes, she has her spells. Sometimes
she will make steam lke a daisy. At
other times she won't steam at all. l
can't account for it. There's lots of super
stitions among the boys, and you can bet
they believe in them strongly. Take that
which gives three accidents following one
another, everybody believes that.
"Iu tell you a peculiar circumstance,
though, On the Erie they had an old
engine years z known as the 222. She
had the reputation of being the worst man
killer on the road, and hardly a week
passed that she idn't have an accident to
her record. The men became SO much
afraid of her that they refused to work on
her, and the officials were in a quandary.
At last in despair they sent her to the
Susquehanna shops, rebuilt her, changed
her number and turned her loose on the
eastern end of the road. She kept up the
same capers until she got as bad a reputa-
ton as she had before. Men refused to
work with her, and one day it leaked out
that she was the old 1922. That settled it,
nobody cared for n place on her. A short
time afterwards she was ditched and in
jured so badly that she was almost in
pieces. No effort was made to put her
together again, and she vas consigned to
the scrap heap. Her brasses, ETC., were
gradually used up until the mere shell
was left, when she was sold as old iron. Z"

The painting of a hand on the houses in
Iunis, Algiers, etc, is not a Jewish GUS
tom, but is common to the natives of these
aud other countries. 1t is always an en-
oIem of good luck, and is in Syria-also in
Naples-acharm against the evil eye. The
hands arranged in form of a branch are
merely an esthetic form of the charm.
sIhe reason Jews put it on their walls at
is because at that season of the
year their houses are renovated inside and
aout. Capt. Gender remarks that the hand
was in use as a charm by the Phoenicians
and occurs on votive steles at Carthage
the site of the modern Tunis-whence it
doubtless spread to neighboring states.
He also relates that the 'hand is painted
on walls, and occurs, for instance, in the
Hagia Sophia at Constantinople and else
where. 1t is also common in Ireland and
in India Swa's hand, and on early scep-
ters." Enameled hands were worn by the
ancient Egyptians as amulets.-Cor Lon

Forcing in the Public Schools.

1 know perfectly well that I shall prob,
ably be called an old fogy, if not a crank,
for presuming to think that anything in
the past can be better than the present.
But l insist that the forcing system, as
practiced in many of our schools, is con.
ducive neither to a good education, good
health nor to beauty of face or form. To
learn many things indifferently and none
well is now the practice in most of our
public schools, where SO many of our girls
spend six hours of the day trying in vain
to translate some obscure passage in Virgil
or to solve some difficult problem in alge-
bra. Nor does the hard study end with
the six hours close confinement, varied
only by a change from one class room to
another or the climbing of stairs, which
soone or later is sure to tell upon the
physical frame. Where there are so many
lessons to be learned, and so long, there
is scarcely any leisure for exercise in the
open air or recreation of any kind, no
time for home intercourse or duties and
those talks with mother or grandmother
which in after years will be so precious to
the woman and remembered long after
Cicero and Euclid are laid upon the shelf.

Going a Little Too Far.

There was a case in the paper the other
day in which it appeared that a lady's
maid named Vincent had been dismissed
for refusing to lace her mistress boots.
Now, it seems to my unsophistocated
mind that this v%aleting, whether male or
female, and whether the valet be a prison
warder or not is a very poor business on
both sides, and quite us degrading to the
valeted as to the valet. l don't think that
l should like to be stripped or dressed by
another person. l nave never known
which to pity more accurately, Morgan
setting up Maj. Pendennis or the major
being set up by Morgan. 1 remember
once, at a little inn in the north of Italy,
l asked for a cigar, and the obliging
waiter brought it to me lit. / thought
this was going too far at the time. But,
after all, it was only the principle of val

just the Same as Minionaires.

a fashionable craze among men OF
small means is to have a bank account
and to make all payments by check. This
savings banks ordinarily do not permit
deposits to be drawn out by checks, AMI
when money is taken from the institution
the pass book has to be presented to tho
cashier, and most of the national banks of
this city require $500 to be placed in their
hands before they will open a current ac-
cunt. A few of the larger institutions
require a deposit of from 81, 900 to So, 900.
The banks stipulate that the deposit shall
never be less than the sum they require to
open the account, but this rule is not en-
forced in all banking institutions. The
deposit of $500 is in some of the small
institutions not enforced, and very often
if the account could be seen the balance
to the credit of the depositor is only a few
dollars.
Payments by cheek are the safest way
of settling any account" said a cashier
of a bank to a reporter. eff you give a
man a check he must indorse it before he
can get the money, so that you always
have his receipt. Then the money is paid
by the bank to some responsible person,
SO that the payment can always be proved
by tracing how the money was paid.

An astonishing experiment may be per-
formed with no apparatus but n piece of
string five or six feet long. A persons
hands being held over his ears, this string
Is passed around his head by another per-
son, who holds both ends in one hand,
and by drawing the fingers or nails of the
other hand over the cord, produces upon
the tympanum of the subject impressions
of almost startling intensity. Sharp peals
of thunder, changing into n distant and
prolonged rumbling, are effects that may
readily be giyen.-Arkansaw Traveller.

An experiment is being made on the
California coast to test the utility of ocean
w force. At an opening in some cliffs
great fans are suspended, and their move

so geared as to work immense pumps,
which are designed to fill large reservoirs
on elevations, these being used to supply

kinds.-Chicago Herald,

Fun in the Canadian Senate.

OTTAWA, April 17.-There was lively scene in tho senate yesterday. Senator Alex ander, speaking to 8 motion to the effect that her majesty be petitioned to amend the Brit ish North America act so as to enable the senate to elect its own speaker, took occasion to make a violent personal attack on Speaker Allen. Things looked lively for five minutes. Hon. MT. Abbott, leader of the government, rose to point of order enforcing the rules providing for the expulsion of members. A dozen senators called on Alexander to sit down, but he persisted in resuming his speech. Finally the house sat with closed doors, when Alexander was compelled to withdraw his motion. He is a sworn enemy of Speaker Allen, whom he charges with wrecking the Central bank, in which Alexander's wife is said to have lost fortune

He Saws the Bill is Defective.

ALBANY, N. Y., April Ex-Governor Hill has approved the bill amending the act to authorize the erection of a soldiers and and sailors monument in Brooklyn by the municipal authorities thereof and to provide for payment therefor" The governor says the bill is effectively drawn. It substitutes the supervisor at large and the chairman of the Grand Army of the Republic memorial committee in place of the common council as among the officials authorized to erect the monument, but it leaves that portion of the act standing which makes the payment sub ject to resolution of the common council This would certainly bring about conflict of authority. The governor intimates that be would sign an amended bill for the same object.

An Emicrant Rate War.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Lackawanna sold emigrant tickets to Chicago yesterday at S1O net, baggage free. Its agent captured the ,Oc0 emigrants on the Servia. The Erie then secured the 900 on the Alaska. It was said at Castle Garden last night that the re- suit of the warfare was that the business would be divided up as follows: The Balti- more and Ohio to have the privilege of selling tickets on all Hamburg line steamers and half the Thingvalla steamers; the West Shore to have all Inman, White Star and Red Star steamers; the Lackawanna to have the Cunard and Anchor line steamers, and the Ontario and Western to have the Neither lands, American and Guion lines. All the roads except the New York Central and Pennsylvania are selling tickets to Chicago for S1O net, baggage free, the Lackawanna having begun the war.
