Experimenting with Turtles.

Among the industries of the state OF
Illinois none is, perhaps, known less
about than that of turtle culture. And
yet it seems that it is a branch that re-
ceives a considerable amount of atten-
ton.
In Lisbon, ILL.,, there is miniature
turtle farm. The owner is experiment
ing with the hard-shelled creatures, and
ii his experiments prove successful
there is likelihood that real turtle soup
will not be quite SO uncommon as at
present.
Mrs. Edwin WEIGH, whose father is
making these experiments at Lisbon,
related some Interesting facts yesterday.
Last spring." she said, my father
killed a turtle in which he found thirty
eggs. He put them in an ordinary pan
and placed them in the garden. They
We're covered with mud to the depth of
two inches and SO placed as to be pro-
tected from the rays Of the sun a por-
ton Of the day. In September sixteen
turtles were Matched and he succeeded
in saving the lives of six of these The
remainder were devoured by the geese.
When first Matched they were of the
size Of silver dollar.
They live on beef, crawfsh, and a
variety of foods that may be given
them. When placed IN barrel of whey
they thrive and grow fat rapidly. They
show some signs of intelligence. and
my father had one turtle that would
make decided demonstrations OF Joy
when father called him. He associated
his name, which was Dick, with feeding
time, and was always disposed to re-
spond when he heard it called.
Their shells are scailoped and of
grayish color. Although they bave no
teeth they bite viciously, and are
dangerous pets to have around where
there are children. In some cases they
are usually muzzled by tying their
heads SO that it is impossible to thrust
them out beyond the SHE'LL

CHLORIDE OF GOLD.

A French naval surgeon declares
that he has just discovered that the
salt OF gold is a sure cure for snake
bites. This is what Dr. Kelley, of
Dwight, announced some time ago.
There is still great diversity Of opinion
as to whether DR.. Keeley's cures
amount to anything or not. There
are, however, remedies that viii do
what is claimed for them. One Of the
best things on the market for every
form of lung trouble or kidney
complaint is REDS GERMAN COUCH
AND KIDNEY CURE. 1t contains
neither opiates nor poison, but severe
cases Of colds, threatened attacks
of pneumonia, cases Of pleunsy of
long standing, old and annoying
kidney troubles, are cured by this great
remedy, and in such way that the
patient enjoys better health than he did
before the attack. This great remedy
is an excellent thing for both children
and aged people. Get it of any dealer.

A Big Newspaper.

The Paper World has among its ''odds
and ends copy of what is supposed to
have been the largest single-sheet news
paper ever published in this or any
other country. 1t was entitled the II
Illuminated Quadruple Constellation, and
was issued at New York July 4. 1859, by
one George Roberts. The edition was
to have been $4,000, but it is reported
that the press broke down before the
full number was run. 1t sold at so
cents copy. The size of this mastadon
sheet was 20 by 100 inches, or almost 40

The Daily PaDer.

Dorothy Maddox has a good word to
say for the daily newspaper. She finds
that it matters not how fascinating a
woman's mannerism if her mind is
found to be an empty waste. It has be-
come positive necessity for the sister
who goes out into the world to be well
up on current topics of the day. these
embracing, of course, an intelligent
comprehension of the affairs OF com
munity, city and state. No medium
can be found which covers SO much
ground as the daily newspaper. 1t is
the channel through which the bright
est and best ideas of the age seek an
outlet, and the clever woman realizing
this reads her paper with the same reg
uIarity that she takes her meals. Moth
ing so quickly establishes a woman in
the good graces of masculine friend
as to find her thoroughly in touch with
the foremost events of the moment.

a NEW DEPARTURE.
The First Opera Matinee Ever Given in


Inc FlfSC opera MaIlnSh Ever UlSSH IA
Paris.
The first matinee that has ever taken
place at the Grand Opera, in the way of
regular performance, came off two
days ago. and was an immense success.
Popular prices were the rule, the best
seats In the house costing from so cents
to 81 80, for which sums places could
be secured beforehand without extra
charge. Tickets ruled lower as the
spectators mounted higher, till, in the
fourth gallery, the uppermOst OF ALL the
price OF admission was | franc only GO
cents). And as one can hear and see to
perfection IN that very lofty position,
impecunlous lovers of music were de-
cidedlv in luck.
There was not vacant seat in the
whole vast theater. The boxes on the
two fashionable tiers, the first and
second, were crowded with groups of
delighted children, or with merry
schoolboys aud girls, winding up their
Christmas holidays in this enhancing
fashion. The performance comprised
the ballet of ''Coppelia," with the
charming Mile. Subra as premiere
danseuse, and the opera of "La Favori-
ta," with Nine. DeschampsJehiD, con-
sidered by good many connoisseurs as
the finest female singer of the company,
In the role Of LeOnOrG. So it will be
comprehended that NJ. Bertrand, the
incoming director, had done his best by
his new class of patrons.
The performance began at O clock,
and there was an lntermisslOn OF half
an hour after the ballet, to give time to
the spectators to 60 and get something
to eat Anything like a regular meal
was Of course, out of the question, but
all the restaurants In the neighbornood
were besieged, the bill of fare in gen
eral being sandwiches and beer, while
all the refreshment bars in the opera
itself were literally cleaned out. A good
many of the spectators in the cheap
places had, with commendable fore
thought, supplied themselves with pro-
visions, bringing rolls and sausages and
such small eatabes with them in lunch
baskets, as they used to do at the Uni
versal Exhibition. Then the opera was
given, and everybody was more enthu-
siastic, and applauded all the perfor-
merS with frenzy, and Insisted upon
calling them three or four times before
the curtain at the close of each act, so
that l. was half-past 8 before the
performance ended.
At last the poorer classes of Paris
have offered to them the highest form
OF musical entertainments, at prices
within their means, and they are no
longer compelled to seek for cheap
amusements at the cate-concerts and
the music halls. So important was this
experiment considered that the minis
ter of public instruction gave directions
to NJ. Bertrand to prepare and forward
to him report of the representation
before the end of the evening.
