The Loggerhead Turtle.

"Those eggs never get hard boiled"
AS the dealer made the remark he took
out of a bucket three or four white little
spheres. Each was about an inch in di-
ameter and looked as if covered with ex-
quisitely delicate canvas.
"Those were laid by a loggerhead tur-
tle," he explained. ''I've seen tortoises of
that kind which would weigh 1000 pounds
apiece. Sometimes they grow to 500 or
1000 pounds, I understand. Sea turtles
get to be monsters. There is a kind called
the Leather back" which is bigger than
the loggerhead, but they are very rare
However, they are not good for much,
their oil being useful for a lubricator.
"You take a 1~,000-pound loggerhead and
he will easur seven or eight feet in
length and nine feet across the back, in
Guiding the fiippers. He is a very fast and
strong swimmer. So that you must catch
him asleep on the water If you expect to
bag him. Specimens are orJon soon many
miles from land floating IN the waves
Unlike the other great sea turtles, which
prefer a vegetable diet, the loggerhead is
carnivorous. 1t has very powerful jaws,
and with them it easily cracks the shells of
large conches, eating the meat. The young
ones are said to be pretty good in a stew or
soup, but those which are full grown are
leathery and musky in flavor. Sometimes
the oil from the fat is smeared on the sides
of vessels to keep worms from eating the
wood. "-Washington Star.

LIBERALS ARE ACTIVE.

Gladstone and His Political Advisers
Busy Forming the New Government.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-Great political &C.
tivity is noticeable in London now
around Pail Mall and Carleton House,
the resorts of prominent Liberals. At
the Gladstonian headquarters Mr. Glad
stone receives frequent visits from John
Morley, Sir William Harcourt, Lord
Roseberry, Earl Spencer and others of
his immediate political circle, with
whom he earnestly discusses the forma-
ton of the new government and its
legislation. A prominent Liberal said
to your correspondent that Mr.. Glad
stone has made up his mind to renounce
certain appointments which will be sure
to cause dissatisfaction. He has long
thought it unfair that Englishmen
should absorb all the Offices and he will
prefer to have representatives from all
the countries in the kingdom. He has
therefore resolved to apportion a few
offices to the Irish leaders. Arthur
O'Connor will be offered the position of
lord of the admiralty, and Mr., Sexton,
Irish secretary. But these gentlemen
will not be made members Of the cab
met as Mr.. Gladstone does not care to
go too far and cause the queen to accept
members Of the cabinet who are not
agreeable TO her

FAILED TO AGREE.

The Democratic Committee 10 Adjust tho
Worlds Fair Matter Not Successful.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ga failure to
agree was the result of the meeting held
during the evening Of the ten Demo-
cratic members appointed as a commit
tee looking to a harmonious settlement
OF the worlds fair matter. The COM
mittee was appointed at the conference
OF Democrat members held in the morn
ing. 1t is evenly divided on the fair ap-
preparation. The ants made several
propositions but not one of them was
voted on. One of these was to cut down
the appropriation to one-half and this
was vigorously opposed by the other
side and even found some opposition
on the part of some of the
ants. Another proposition was
that a vote be postponed until the meet
ing OF congress December next, but this.
too' met with more serious opposition.
They commended for IS 5000, 900 and not a
cent less. A suggestion that a loan in
stead OF a direct appropriation be made
met with a like fate. Other propositions
also failed of agreement and the COM
mlttee adjourned till morning. The
evident anxiety of the worlds fair advo-
Gates to bring the appropriation to a d.
rect vote is proof of their belief that the
proposition has a clear majority. They
contend that they are willing to have
this vote at any time and express a de-
termination to prevent an adjournment
unless they have such an opportunity of
ascertaining how the house stands,
