THE PENNSYLVANIA SNAPPER.
He Furnishes Nine Kinds of Tender, Juicy,
WelI-FIavored Meat.

and, in fact every town on the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad from the Delaware to
the Monongahels that is big enough to have
a restaurant or free lunch route, the snap
ping turtle, or snapper, as this pugnacious
fresh water ehelonian is locally called, is a
delicacy that is sure to draw a crowd when
ever and wherever it is served.
A popularity of the swapping turtle is
that beneath its formidable shell are hid
den nine different kinds of meat, and each
one is tender, we'll favored and juicy. The
snapper does not provide steaks, like
the green turtle, although 1t grows
large enough. 1 have known one TO
weigh 40 pounds and more, but a
turtle of that size has got to be one of
great age, and his meat is strong and un-
ssvory. The snapper should weigh not more
than IRON five to ten pounds TO provide the
choicest morsels. With the exception,
probably, of the snapper of the waters
southwest of the Mississippi, with its three
cornered head, knoJty shell, and long, thick
legs covered with spiny warts, the Penn
sylvanis snapper is probably the ugliest
looking member Of the chelonisn family we

ResuIt of Home Treatment.

Some time ago Mr.. Harry Phillips, of Hull
ton, Allegheny county, Pa. commenced a
course of home treatment for his catarrhal
trouble, under the care of Drs. Copeland &
Blair.
At that time his trouble had assumed very
aggravated form. He stated to the writer as
follows:
MY nostrils would clog up. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my chest.
There was a cropping of mucus from my head
TO my throat. 1 had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a
slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness.
! was daily growing weaker. The slightest
exertion tired me, and was unfit for work."
~How do you feel now?"
Like another being All the symptoms I
have described to you have disappeared, and
feel as well as / ever did in my life"
Last May, Miss Lottie ]. Forker, of 299 Arch
street. Meadville, Pa, placed herself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair
for her catarrhal trouble.
On June she wrote: Your medicine is do
ing me good. 1 do not feel so tired, and my
headaches have ceased"
August 26 her letter stated: II feel quite
like different woman from the one l was
when commenced your treatment"

A: that moment the nurse came hurry ing in anG whispered something in his ear. My fathers face turned deadly pale. He clutched at the table to sup port himself, then staggered from the room. My mother was dying!
 It was some days afterwards, do not know exactly how long, that my father took me by the hand and led me up- stairs into the big room that had been my mothers bedroom. There she lay dead in her coffin, with flowers in her hand. Along the wall of tho room were arranged three little white beds, and on each of the beds lay one of my brothers. They all looked as though they were asleep, and they all had flowers in their hands. My father told me to kiss them all, because I should not sec them any more, and did so, though I was very frightened. did not know why. Then he took me in his arms and kissed me.
 ''The Lord hath given," he said, "and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord"
 l cried very much, and he took me downstairs, and after that have only confused memory of men dressed in black carrying heavy burdens towards the gray churchyard!
 Next comes a vision of great ship and wide, tossing waters. My father could no longer bear to live in England after the loss that had fallen on him, and made up his mind to emigrate to South Africa. We must have been poor at the time, indeed. I believe that large portion of our income went from my father on my mothers death. At any rate we travelled with the steerage passengers, and the intense discomfort of the journey, with the rough ways of our fellow emigrants, still remains upo1

great traveller in his youth, but some six or seven years before this date had mar ried lady who was half Spaniard-a Papist, my father called her. Lean re- member her we'll. She was small and very pretty, with a rounded figure, large black eyes and glitterirg teeth. She spoke English wi ,h curious accent l suppose that must have been a funny child to look at, and I know that my hair stood up on my head then as it does now, for I still have sketch of my self that my mother made of me, in which this peculiarly is strongly marked. On this occasion of the Christmas tree remember that Mrs. Carson turned to a tall, foreign-looking gentleman who stood beside her, and, tapping him af. fectionately on the shoulder with her gold eyeglasses, said:
 Look, cousin-look at that droll lit- tie boy with tho tig brown eyes; his hair is like a-what you call him?- scrubbing bush. Oh, what droll little boy!'

literary eXecutor. Among them found two manuscripts, of which the foll owing is one. The other is simply record of events in which MT. Quatermain was not personally concerned-a Zulu novel, the story of ''-.oh was told to him by tho hero many years after the tragedy had occurred. But with this we have nothing to do at present.
 l have often thought (Mr. Quater- mains manuscript begins) that would set down on paper tho events connected with my marriage and the loss of my i most dear wife. Many years have now passed since that event, and to some ex- tent time has softened the old grief. though Heaven knows it is still keen enough. On two or three occasions have even begun the record. Once gave it up because tho writing of it de- pressed mo beyond bearing, once be- cause 1 was suddenly called away upon a journey, and the third time because Katfir boy found my manuscript con- venient for lighting the kitchen fire. But now that am at leisure here in England 1 will make fourth attempt. If 1 succeed, the story may servo to in terest some one in after years when I am dead and gone. It is wild tale enough, and suggests some curious re- factions.
 l am the son of Q missionary. My father was originally curate in charge of a small parish in Oxfordshire. He had already been some years married to my dear mother when he went there, and he had four children, of whom was the youngest. I remember faintly the place where we lived. It was an ancient long gray house, facing the road. There was Q very large tree of some sort in the gar den. It was hollow, and we children used to play about inside of it and knock knots of wood from the rough bark. We all slept in a kind of attic, and my mother always came up and kissed us when we were in bed. l used to wake up and see her bending over me, a candle in hcr hand. There was a curious kind of pole projecting from the wall over my bed. Once I was drcadfully frightened be- cause my eldest brother made me hang to it by my hands. This is all remem- Der about our old home. It has been pulled down long ago, or I would jour ney there to see it.
 A little further down the road was large house with big iron gates to it, and on the top of the gate pillars set two stone lions, which were so hideous that 1 was afraid of them. One could sec the house by peeping through tho bars of the gates. It was a gloomy-loolking place, with tall yew hedge around it; but in the summertime some flowers grew round the sun-dial in the grass plat. This house was called the Hall, and Squire Carson lived there. One Christmas-it must have been the Christi mas before my father emigrated, or I should not remember it-we children went to a Christmas tree at the Hall. There was a great party there, and foot men wearing rcd waistcoats stood at tho loor. In the dining-room, which was paneled with black oak, was the Christ mas tree. Squire Carson stood in front of it. He was tall, dark man, very quiet in his manners, and he wore bunch of seals on his waistcoat. We used to think him old, but as a matter of fact he was then not more than forty. He had been, as I afterward learned, a

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wnshinoton, SEPT. 1.

Washington, Sept. 1.
The president has been giving
great deal of attention to the condi-
ton of the congressional calendar,
and he has become convinced that it
will be impossible to dispose of the
measures of national Importance, not
to mention those important to par
tlcular sections of the country in the
time between the first Monday in De-
cember and the 4th of March, 1891.
At the same time, it is believed that
he would prefer that congress should
adopt the resolution offered by Sen
ator Edmunds providing for recess
from September 19, to November 10,
instead of his having to call an extra
session.
Senator Edmunds says he offered
the resolution without comforting with
his party colleagues, and because he
thinks the additional time which will
thereby be gained is absolutely nee
essary to dispose of the immense
| mass of business - all more or less
important-with which the calendar
of the senate is loaded down. Mr.
Edmunds thinks, as does every
one else at all familiar with the sub
ject, that unless those three weeks be
fore the regular meeting in Decembel
are utilized in this manner many I'M
portant measures can not be acted
upon.
The democrats are bitterly opposed
to the Edmunds resolution and som
of the most hot-headed among then
are already making wild threats o
fiIlibustering against the resolution
, when it is called up, which may b
this week or later. These genteme
have apparently forgotten that tn
