Col. Tilghman and Mr.. NJ T. Colds
borough are largely engaged in the
propagation of terrapin, and have
about 1000 confined in a pond, where
they are fed and prepared for market.
In winter they lie dormant and do
not eat at all, but in summer time
they seem to have ravenous appetites.
The principal food given them is hard
crabs, and it takes about 500 to 600
crabs a day to feed them. The crabs are
put intoa large hopper alive and hack
led to pieces in passing through the
machinery. They are then thrown
into the pond for the ~terrapin, which
r SO eager to get at their food that
they climb up over the backs of each
other.
The terrapin have learned TO know
what the noise Of the hacking ma
chine means, and as soon as it COM
mences to run they begin to gather
around and show signs of impotence
until their food is given them.-Balti-

A Chinese Lottery.

The Chinese are getting in their
work in fine style in the lottery bust
ness in Carson. They have two. draw
ings n day. Tho racket is run by tick
cts all covered with squares, and a
Chinaman makes the rounds every
day to peddle tickets. You pay ten
cents for a ticket, and then you dot
the square with a brush of ink and
mako marks. When the tickets
are all in they are compared in China
town with another ticket, which has
been marked. If your marks should
correspond with two of the other
marks you get 81; if with three So,
and so on. If the spots are all like the
n on the king card you win $15.
This is a very fascinating game and
the ladies all think it lovely. The
joke of it is that they never see the
king card at all, but the Celestial who
sells the tickets is trusted with the
money and brings back the prizes
Won. He buys the tickets Mt whole
sale, and if ticket wins, say $50, he
gives the lady 81. so and keeps the bal
allce.
Belly good guess; you catchum
big money"
The Appeal has a list of the ladies
who patronize this lottery and it
would cause many n smile in print.
Some of the ladies who buck at the
Chinese swindle think that a state
lottery would be perfectly awful"
but they stick by the Chinese lottery
through thick and thin.-Carson

Tuesday is the unlucky day in Mex
leo. The popular sentiment concern
ing it is embodied, as is the Ease with
Mexican proverbs and terse sayings
generally, in n jingle:
En- Martes nj to cases, nj to embarques,
Nj de tn casa te apartes-
Which, rendered literally, means: On
Tuesday, neither be thou married, nor
go forth begin, start, enter UPON, nor
separate myself from thy house. Be
lief in the ill luck of Tuesday is a
Spanish superstition, reference to
which is found in a letter written by
Fray Juan de Zumarraga some years
before he left Spain for Mexico. Pos
sibly it is a native Mexican supersti-
ton, also-though n sufficient reason
for its prompt acceptance by the Mex
leans, perhaps, is TO be found in the
fact that Oh a Tuesday aug. IS, 1920
was completed the conquest of the
capital city of Tenochtitlan, or Mex
ico.-Scribner's.

Russian Women In the Past.

In olden times the position of women
in Russia was d~eplorable, and, as else
where, it has only improved by de-
grees. Herberstein declares that no
woman was deemed virtuous unless
she lived in domestic seclusion and
was never seen outside home; and
Jenkinson says that, except on their
way to church at Christmas and Easte.
or when paying visits, it was an acci.
dent If you ever saw a Russian lady.
This habit has survived more or less
even to this century, for Bremner
speaks of the women as guarded with
Oriental seclusion," and Theophile
Gautier attests the same thing. So
strong in the Sixteenth century was
the prejudice against women that even
fowls or animals killed by their hands
We're regarded as u~nclean; and often,
If their husbands were absent, they
might be seen standing at their doors
and begging some passer-by to per-
form for them the butchers Office
Not infrequently the murder of
husbands avenged the maltreatment
of wives; TO meet which a law was
ordained hat for this crime women
should be buried with their heads only
above the ground, there TO be left till
they were starved to death. In olden
days marriages We're always arranged
by Intermediates, and no one would
have dreamed of conducting his own
suit.
One of the most popular changes
effected by Peter the Great was the
regulation that no couple should be
married without the consent of both
parties, and that they should be al
lowed TO meet for at least six weeks
before marriage. The intending bride
groom sent his future wife such sym
bolical presents as needles and thread,
raisins and fruit, and a whip.
On the wedding day there was al
ways the show Of resistance on the
part of tho bride so common every
where; the bride would resist TO the
uttermost leaving her house TO go to
the church, and would sob and make
a great noise all the way thither. In
the church it was etiquette for her to
fall down at her husbands feet, and to
knock her head on his shoe in token
Of her subsection. 1t is said that for
three days after marriage she risked
her character if she spoke more than a
few words at mealtime with great
manners and reverence" to her hus-
band. 1t was customary for husbands
to make their wives and daughters an
allowance for paint, and so fond were
the ladies of this mode of adornment
that Jenkinson compared them to
millers' wives who looked as if they
had been beaten about the face with
bags of meal.-The Gentleman's Maya

Extending the Cnr Line.

At a meeting of the directors of the
street car company held last evening it
was decided to make two important ex-
tensions Of the street car line. The first
will be to the fair grounds and the second
to lake Minnehaha. The fair grounds
extension will commence at Nineteenth
and Ferguson streets, thence to Themes,
out Themes to Twenty-seventh, west on
Twenty seventh to Bent, thence north to
Twenty ninth and out to the fair grounds.
The other line will run out Nineteenth
street to the lake. Surveyors will at once
be put to work surveying the line and
making estimates as to the probable cost.
Bids for the construction will then at
once be advertised for. Two new cars
will be Immediately placed on the line.
In order To prevent confusion the Capitol
avehnc cars will carry yellow lights, the
fair grounds red and the lake green.

terry of all sorts and of all nations is

and pictures are everywhere. The
furniture is not simply for show, but

Republican simplicity seems to be
fast disappearing from Washington
society, where, as l learn from one of
the journals of that capital, 1.-THE seat
ing of guests at official dinners, at
which the court rules of precedence
are obligatory, is n matter of nice ex-
~actness." In cases where desperately
knotty points present themselves, it
seems the dinner list is sent to the
White House to be 'diagrammed."
The diagrammer, who is the authority
on all these grave points of precedence,
is a certain Mr.. Pruden, n of the
White House secretaries. He must
have some trouble, since, as my jour
nal informs me, the ranking of the
diplomat is still an unsettled ques-
ton" and it is earnestly urged that
this vexed question should be promptly
settled once for all by an act of con
gress. London Truth.

every good writer has much idiom,'

language" and this truth is well illus,
trated-though in a homely fashion-by
the racy talk of men who have lived
much ythemselves, whether in the back

portions of the west.
Such men nave not been accustomed,
as has well been said, to empty their

their wit is not only dry, but has what
