Turtles should be accommodated with
wet and dry places for choice. Two very
'cute" little turtles lived happily once in
the basin Of greenhouse fountain with a
rockwork mound on which to rest. They
recognized persons, fed from the fingers
and grew very tame. What boys call the
box turtle, really land tortoise, will be
or at least appear quite contented if he is
"staked out" in the yard in this way, a
hole carefully drilled in ths edge Of his
shell and light cord a yard or two long
tied through it. with the other end fastened
to stake. The animal proceeds at once
to burrow home for himself and there he
will dwell in seeming satisfaction, while
his keeper can coax him out occasionally
by pulling gently on the cord to look at
him and see if he is doing well.-Olive
Thorne Miller in Harper's Bazaar.

CHICAGO, June fisherman day"
appears to have started boom at the
White City. The reaction which usu-
ally sets in the day following big
event did not occur. While the
attendance was not as large as that
of yesterday it was above the
average Visitors began coming
early and at noon it was estimated that
100, 900 people had passed through the
turnstiles. and the officials of the
bureau of admission estimate that
the total attendance for the day will
be 125, 200.
Many excursionists who took adj
vantage of the reduced railway rates
on account of German day are still in
the city. and throughout the day there
was steady click at the turnstiles.
There was no special celebration at
the fair except that the Illinois Press
association held reception in the Hi.
