A TArtta,a Nest.

In the town of Patten, place distant
from tidewater over ninety miles, there
is great curiosity, known as the ''tur-
ties nest" For fifty-two years turtle
has come annually to the nest to deposit
her eggs. Over half century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
but now in a yard in front of resi-
dence. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1S41 upon the
turtles back, and it can be plainly
traced now. She comes about the same
date each year, and her first few days
are passed in inspecting the ancient
nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, but as many
we're carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about dozen of the
eggs Matched out. The owner of the
house has ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeag
river, fully fifty miles away from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty-fve pounds, and it is said she was
as large when branded as she is now.
Each June she comes to Patten, and is
always welcomed by old and young

Eats OFF in the Synagogue.

The vexed question of chats on" or
chats off" during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting of the
Anshe Chesed congregation, at the tenn
pie on Scoville avenue. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con-
gregation wearing their hats during
public worship has always been in vogue
in this congregation. A number of the
younger and more progressive members
have objected to the custom, and it has
caused more or less discussion for several
years. The older members held tena-
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones bided their time until they should
have sufficient majority converted to
their views to change the custom.
The matter was brought up at the an
nual meeting, which was very largely
attended. The hat question was dis
cussed at great length, and several very
warm speeches were made on both sides.
1t was finally put to vote, and the
members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by a decided ma
jority. The decision was that hereafter
the congregation shall worship with hats
off, but those who desire to retain their
head covering will be permitted to do
so.-Cleveland Leader and Herald.

A Bad Place for Wrecks.

When vessel sinks in the channel
through Lake George flats, near Sault
st. Marie, there is plenty of trouble.
The value of the vessels delayed by a
wreck there recently is estimated at
$4,000, 900, and that of their cargoes at
$4,000,000. At one time seventy lake
steam vessels were anchored on the east
side of the blockade and sixty on the
west side, and new channel had to be
cut through the flats to allow them to
continue their ways. Four dredges
worked day and night to make channel
700 feet in length, 60 in width and 80 in
depth. 1t is said that the only way to
prevent accidents like that which caused
the wreck is to limit the speed of vessels
in the channel There was the same
trouble at the st. Clair flats until men
were stationed at the ends of the chan
mel to time the vessels.-New York Sun.

They Ea. as picken. Told Them.

A good story is told at one of the ho-
tells here about some of the English di-
vines who are in the city in attendance
upon the Methodist ecumenical council
It was noticed that at the hour set down
for dinner on the card posted in each
room giving the rules of the house these
English preachers would gather about
the doors of the dining room and when
they were opened would make wild
rush inside, and to seat themselves hasti-
ly at the first table they reached and to
begin to eat as quickly as possible.
The landlord was puzzled to know the
cause of this strange conduct on the part
of his foreign guests. Inquiry developed
the fact that these reverend gentlemen
had before coming over posted them
selves on American customs by reading
Dickens American Notes" and "Mar-
tin Chuzzlewit." The scene in the latter
descriptive of the effect of the hotel din
ner gong causing everybody to quit
whatever he was doing and make a rush
for the dining room lest he should fail
to get any dinner they took as gospel
truth and were governing their own con-
duct accordingly. - Washington Cor.

Parnell's Brother.

According to an Atlanta paper a
seedy looking man, not quite fifty and
wearing a discouraged and colorless
slouch hat, with suit to match, stood
before the bulletin boards in Atlanta the
other day to get a glimpse of dispatches
about the death of Charles Stewart Par
nell. The man was John Parnell, a
brother of the Irish leader, who has
spent the latter years of his life tending
fruit trees on little farm seventy five
miles from Atlanta. II cannot believe
that he is dead" said he. "The only
thing that makes me believe the report
is the statement that he died suddenly.
There were twelve children in our fam
lily, six of whom are dead, and every one
of the six died suddenly. Our sister
Fanny, who died last. was found dead in
bed. Charles, and in fact all of us, are
subject to attacks of nervous prostra-
ton, and if he is dead this must have
caused his death. He loved us all, and
but a short time ago he wrote me mos:
affectionate letter."

A Wonderful Underground Lake.

An underground lake has been dis
covered three miles from Genesse, Ida.
1t was found by well digger. At a
depth of sixteen feet clear, pure lake
water ran out over the surface for a
time, then settled back to the earth's
level. The most curious part of it is
that fish were brought to the surface on
the overflow. They have peculiar ap
pearance and are sightlesss, indicating
that they are underground fish. The
spring has attracted much attention,
and many farmers in the vicinity fear
that their farms will drop into the lake.

walking Back to tho Big City.

Wrecks of the early winter theatrical
season are already seen in New York
managers whose ventures have failed
after few nights out of town, tired
looking actors who seem to have walked
home, and bedraggled looking women,
whose faces tell plainly Of their disap-
pointments. 1t is the old story of poor
plays, poor houses and the refusal of the
ghost to do his weekly little pedestrian
act. And yet in the main the theatrical
outlook is very good, for with big crops
comes plenty of money and an army of
people to be amused. But it is the sur
vival Of the fttest. The poor plays are
not patronized, and the managers of
many come to grief. There are many
familiar faces on the Rialto today, men
and women who started off month
ago filled with hope. Some of them will
be glad to shovel snow for a living be-
fore spring. g.-Foster Coates in Mail and

On Thursday morning these artists had
photographed the general lying in. state,
