Don't mistake plezzure for happiness; 1t

Kansas Philosophy.

The man who turns over a new leaf toe
often will soon use up his ledger.
It is now believed that Lots wife looked
back to see what some other woman had on.
The next thing harder than saying q
good thing once is to refrain from saying
it twice.
Next to II told you So" the greatest
cross man has to bear in this world is
eff were you"
When man tells woman he loves her
she thinks it gives her right to know
everything he does.
1t is one of the great vexations of a
woman's life that when she is dressed up
ready for callers no one ever comes.
Nothing will aggravate man more han
to be told, when he is feeling particularly
sick, that he is looking remarkably well.
A woman may forget everything else
that is of Importance, but she never for
minister is coming.
Nothing makes woman more angry
than to have her enemy not notice the
Sights she has worked herself up iEto a
frenzy to give.
The days are coming when woman
likes to stand with her back to the fire
until she gets her clothes good and warm,
and then sit down in them.
When man takes his wife visiting he
wonders what she is going to put in the
trunk; when they arrive at their destina-
tion he wonders what she didn't put in it.

left Davis a Northwestern Pioneer.

"The first saw-mill ever built in Wis
consin, and I think the first in the North
west, was built by Jefferson Davis, " was
the novel historical statement made to me
yesterday by [. M. Weston, ex- mayor of
Grand Rapids, Mich. His statement was
followed by this explanation: ri found
that fact in some pamphlets was OYER
hauling the other day. Davis was lieu
tenant in the United States army, serving
under old Zach Taylor, whose daughter he
afterward ran away with and married.
Taylor was in command at Fort Crawford,
now Prairie du Chiene. 1t became neces-
sary to build other forts in the Northwest.
The government sent saw-rnill to Davis
to prepare the lumber. Davis was sent
up the Chippewa river to locate the mill
and operate it. That was the first saw
mill in what is now one of the greatest
lumber sections in the country. 1t sounds
queer that JEFF Davis should thus be en-
titled to be classed as pioneer lumberman
of the Northwest. "-Neso York Press.
St. Landry democrat., 1890-02-01
Habit. of the Terrapin.

A paragraph going the rounds of the pa
pers now that telrapins are shipped from
Savannah. Ga, to New York, where they
are sold for $25 dozen, attracted the at
tention of Congressmar Gibson of Mary
land, the terrapin exp TT of Congress.
Southern teTrApin," was the handsome
Congressman's Gtst comment, care not the
genuine diamond backs, and have not the
flavor of the real bird. The southern ter
rapin lives in fresh or bia"kish water is
lively tbrOuy hOut the w"t5-, and food
may be found in it's entrsIlo at any time.
The diamond back, on the contrary, goes
into winter quarters in the mud from the
first frosts until the warm suns of April
bring it out again. During this time it di
gess the food ths' it has taken into its
stomach, and It's interior is always per-
fecEly clean It's flesh has peculiar and
delicious flavor that no other species of
terrapn has, and no one who has become
accustomed to the real srticle can be i'm
posed upon "
els there any way of keeping up the
supply to meet the demsnd?"
''Terrapin farming thus far has not been
a financial success although | understand
that party of capitalists have gone into
the business somewhere in the vicinity OF
the Dismal Swamp l have had some ex-
perience and it did not pay me. Then,
some friends Of mine stocked a salt water
pond Of about two acres with $3.50 terra
pin paid man to feed them on crabs dur
ing the summer, fitted up nice shelving
bank of white sand, in which the ter 'ins
could lay their eggs put palisade around
the pond to keep the terrapins from crawl
ing away, and provided every comfort for
their prisoners. But you know that it
takes six or seven years for a terrapin to
become of marketable size, and for two or
three years my friends were able to sell
only ve~y few of their $500. Those that
they sold, however, easily brought them
from $36 to $42 dozen in N0w YORK;
Curiously enough, though, they could
never find any of the young ones. so that
the stock wss not being replenished. FL
nally, their came freshet, or high tide
and the whole terrapin outfit went out to
sea. Then my friends became discour-
aged, and lost interest in terrapin farm
ing myself. - Washington Post.
