HOW TO Kill a Turtle.

A big turtle afforded the usual amuse-
ment for men and boys in front of a
Madison street restaurant. An on
locker raised up his voice and said he
would bet dollar that no one in the
crowd could tell the process by which a
turtle is killed. Whether no one knew,
or whether the crowd had been caught
in the Barring Brothers whirl, is not
known, but the bet remained open. The
man lowered it to half, and it still
remained "on the table," After
he had departed another man, a
little fellow without any overcoat
or shirt collar, said: "If 1 had
had any stuff I would have taken that
bet. am professional turtle killer.
The business IS a profession, and isn't
picked up in a day. Now will explain
to you gentlemen how to kill turtle. |
know none of you could doit after l
tell you, but I want to show you that the
duffer who bluffed the crowd doesn't
know it all. See2 Now pay attention.
First persuade your turtle to stick
out his head, and when he does you cut
his throat. If he gets obstinate and re-
fuses to stick out his head, it may be
necessary to grab the head with o pair of
strong nippers, and hold the head be-
tween them until the throat is cut.
Then you cut the muscles that connect
the body with the shell, and leave the
turtle to die. Now, how Eany of you
can tell me how long that will take2
None. Of course not. You don't
know. Well, about twenty-four hours.
There is O good deal of the human
about turtle. It likes to hang on, the
turtle does. If I had had the stuff, I
could have won that bet." A philan-
thropic man in the crowd, who said he
was fond of turtle soup, tipped the man

Elanl,anfs Fond Of Finery.

Strange as it may seem, the elephant
is passionately fond OF tinery, and de-
lights to see himself decked out with
gorgeous trappings. The native Princes
Of India are very particular in choosing
their state elephants, and will give
fabulous sums for an animal that exactly
meets the somewhat fanciful standards
they have erected. For these they have
made cloths of silk so heavily en-
broidered with gold that two men are
hardly abie to lift them.
An amusing instant of elephantine
pride in his own gorgeousness is mar
rated by Baker. The elephant which
usually led the states procession OF a
Rajah being sick, the magnificent trap
pings were placed on one which nod, up
to that time, occupied only subordinate
place. The animal, delighted with its
fnery, showed its glee by so many little
squeaks and kicks of pleasure that
general attention was attracted to it.
Not long after another state procession.
was formed, and the previous wearer Of
the gold cloths being restored to health,
took his accustomed place and trappings,
when the now degraded beast. imagin-

Lantern Symbols Of Rank.

The distinctions of rank which exists
in European countries give rise to many
troubles which, though they may seem
rather amusing as we'll as trivial to us,
are in reality quite serious to the persons
concerned in them. In. Stuttgart, years
ago, there existed curious custom which
is not vet entirely abolished, and, in fact,
still horishcs quite vigorously in some
parts of Germany and Switzerland. This
was the use of lanterns Of different varie-
ties and sizes by which, at night, the
rank of the party could be easily dlstin.
guished.
The lanterns were carried by the SER
wants who were sent to escort their mis-
tresses home from places of amusement,
and they made the square in front Of the
Royal Opera House, where most of the
entertainments were then given, quite
picturesque, with their lights bobbing
up and down in every direction.
The differences between some of these
lanterns were slight, but they had to be
strictly observed, or trouble arose. The
order of rank, as set forth in the "rank
list" was something from which they
could never swerve. Some had lanterns
of tin, some of brass; some had wax
lights, and others tallow; even the num-
ber of lights was prescribed for each
separate class or 1ank.-Youh's Com

A HUMAN OR A DIVINE CHRIST?

DR.. Cairns, eminent for ability and learn
ing, has been lecturing in London on "Christ
Ind criticism" In the course of it he asks:
sWhy is American Unitarianism so feeble
hat it has only some three hundred congre-
cations against seventy thousand Trinita-
rian:" He answers: "a human Christ has
ijeen weighed in the balance and found
wanting; he brings no light from the higher
world"
"The Unitarians," he says, shave, no
douIt. simpler Christ, but an infinitely
poorer one. who has no mystery, becau he
had NO greatness. He was dead, but was
not aliN. and he claimed victory which
was only delusion, was blasphemy. A di-
vine Christ we may be unable fully to un-
derstand; but it is :he mystery Of greatness,
Of atoning love, of constant fellowship, and
offull salvation which will ever move and win
the human heart.' This is the true and full
explanation. The American Unitarian min
istry is learned, scholarly, often eloquent:
Its vessels are of eXquisitely ornamented
china, of silver and gold: but thty contain
stones while the world asks for bread, and
the more SC optical Of them bear scorpions to
hungry men asking kOr fsh.-[Christian

TO THOSE WHO FAIL.

Courage, brave heart; nor in thy purpose
falter;
Go on and win the fight at any cost.
Though sick and weary after heavy conflict,
! Rejoice to know the battle is not lost
The field is open still to those brave spirits
: Who nobly struggle till the strife is done,
Through sun and storm with courage all un-
Gaunted,
Working and waiting till the battles
won.
The fairest pearls are found in the deepest
waters,
The brightest jewels in the darkest mine;
And through the very blackest hour of mid
The star of Hope doth ever brightly
Press on! Press on the path is steep and
rugged
And storm-clouds almost hide Hopes light
from view;
trodden:
A few more steps may bring you safely
through.
The battle Ger, a victor crowned with
honors;
By patient toll, each difficulty past,
You then may see these days Of bitter fail
But spurred you on to greater deeds at
last.

Emperor, standing amid a galaxy of fell
low sovereigns, generals and statesmen.
The Emperor concluded b. asking the
Count to accept a new marshal's baton of
silver, magnifcently inlaid with stars and
crowns of rubies and diamonds. Count
NToltke could only find few brief and
incohereut words of reply, but he took
the Emperor's hand and imprinted on it
a long and fervent kiss. A photographer
in attendance seized the moment and the
negative will be developed into a grand

But while crossing over these mountains
Of Lebanon | bethink myself OF what an
exciting scene it must be when one OF the
cedars does fall. 1t does not go down like
other trees with slight cracke that
hardly makes the woodsman look up, or
hawk Autter from a neighboring bough.
When q cedar falls it is the great event in
the calendar of the mountains. The axmen
fly. The wild beasts stink to their dens.
The partridges swoop to tie valley for es-
cape The neighboring trees go down under
the awful weight of the descending monarch.
The rocks are moved out of their places.
and the earth trembles as from miles around
all ravines send back their sympathetic
echoes. Crash! crash! crash! So when the
great cedars of the worldly or Christian
influence fall it is something terrific. Within
the past few years how many mighty and
overtopp!ng mJ1 have gone down! There
seems now to be an epidemic ormornl disaster.
Ine moral world, the religious world, the

voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice OF
the Lord is full Of majesty. The voice OF the
Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. Yea,
the Lord breaketh the csdars Of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like calf, LeE-
anon and Sirion like young unicorn. The
voice of the Lord divideth the hamesH OF

As the lion is the monarch Of the fields and
behemoth the monarch of the waters, the
cedar is the monarch Of the trees. And /
think one reason why it is so glorified all up
and down the Bible is because we need more
of its characteristics in our religious life.
Wehave too much of the willow. and are
easily bent this way or that; too much or
the aspen, and we tremb!e under every
zephyr of assault; too much Of the brambie
tree, and our sharp points sting and wound;
but not enough Of the cedar, wide branched
and heaven aspiring and tempest Crap
ping. But the reason these cedars stand SO
we'll is that they are deep rooted. They run
their anchors down into the caverns OF the
mountain and fasten to the very foundations
of the earth, and twist around and clinch
themselves on the other side Of the deepest
layer of rock they can reach. And that IS
the difference between Christians who stand
aad the Christians who fall. 1t is the differ
ence between superficial character and one
that has clutched its roots deep down around
and under the Rock Of Ages.
One of the Lebanon cedars was examined
by scientist and from its concentric cir.
cles it was found to be thirty-fve hundred
years old and still standing, and there's such
