MEN AND MARRIAGE.
An English Bachelor Has Something
to Say on the Subject.

Promising that bachelor though we be,
we are quite alive-to the value of good

which such one can make of home, and

dition without any prior inquiry into
mutual tecedents-altnough they would

the terrapin find the soft bottom. and
understand that they have struck "a soft

and pushes il into the mud unJlllt strikes
something, and SO keen IS his sense OF
touch that he can tell in a moment If II
be stone or terTapin, and if IL be the
latter, he digs il out, and puts II
in his basket. An through Mary
land and Virginia the darkies
are to be found day and night on the
marshes armed with long light iron rods
with which they are probing for terrapln,
and many Of them make quite good llv-
ing. AS the weather becomes colder the
hunter takes large quantities of dry
brush and grass, aud piles it up where he
knows the Jerraplu are buried, aud then
he sets fire to it. In a comparatively
short time the heat strikes downward,
the terrapin awakes, thinks spring IS
come, and crawls out to be captured and
find that it is still a bleak, cold, cold
world. and that an evil trick has been
played npon him.
1t is, however, in the summer that the
amateur terrapin hunter wants 10 take

island, who in ten days fishing caught
over , goo terrapin and sold them in Nor
folk market for about 500. This was the
birth of the terrapin industry for he i'm
mediately returned to the spot, dredged
out 1900 more and sold them in Baltimore
for $3.50. These sales became known and

some winters they were sold at southern
points for - dozen. Oh, the sin of it
In those days the terrapin ran in schools
OF several hundred, but the constant
chasing soon broke these up, and it was
not long before the deep water oyster
dredges ceased TO bring up a paying
quantity. Then it was found that the
chelonia sought shallow waters as the
weather became cold, and a number Of
improvements on the oyster dredge
proper came into use, and eventually ar
Jihcial propagation or farming came into
vogue as a stable industry
Still there is quite a good deal of out
side hunting done, and there is no better
fun in the summer than to accompany

ground and is fairly sure TO make a
respectable bag. Some of these men do

HIeH-ToNEp SPORTS.
Nearly ALI Our Presidents Have Been
True Sportsmen in Some Line.
From the Cleveland Press.


With very few exceptions, all the Presi-
dents of the United States have been true
Sportsmen IN some line, either hunting,
fishing or riding. and if more is heard of
President Cleveland's little fishing and
hunting trips than of those of others who
preceded him, it is probably not because
they INDUCED themselves less. When the
President is at Buzzard's Bay he confines
himself to short fishing trips, and it is
when he is living at Washington that he
takes his more important hunting and fish
ing expeditions. He is very fond of duck
hunting, and sometimes goes away for
week, during much of which time he can
neither be reached by mail nor
telegraph, The hunting ground he uses
is situated near Washington, taking in
the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay,
and is known as the great Presidential
game preserve. This is where President
Harrison spent much of his time. and
President Washington is said to have
known every inch of land and water for
many miles up and down the river from
Mount Vernon. Besides being an expert
fisherman Washington was an accom-
plished rider, and took great pleasure in
following the hounds, of which he had
large pack. John Quincy Adams was
splendid swimmer, and next to Benjamin
Franklin was the greatest swimmer OF
his day. When he was President he took
an early morning DdLn every uay Wneu
the weather was favorable, and in winter
took long walks, arriving at the capitol
before daybreak. Jefferson and Monroe
were both great horseback riders. Mad
lson INDUCED in no sports. He was
great student, and lived the life of
country gentleman. Gen. Garfield was
fond of hunting, and was a fair shot,
but never cared for fishing He
was an enthusiast on baseball. rarely
missed a game, and could play very good
game himself, but his hobby was billiards
and pin-pool, at which he was an expert.
The billiard room at the white house,
which had not been used for several ad-
ministra tinns, was renovated at his direc-
ton, ana he spent many leisure hours
there. President Arthur was the last OF
the Presidents TO take complete vaca-
ton. One summer he and Gen. Phil
Sheridan went 10 the Yellowstone region,
where they camped out and hunted and
tished, after going 100 miles from civiliza-
ton. He loved fishing for bass and trout,
and among fishing Presidents he ranked
first. AT one time when in Louisville
KY, fishing club there presented him
with rod with German silver reel on
which were engraved Izaak Walton's
words about his love for good fishermen
as gentle, kindly race, and of all the
Presidents who INDUCED in that sport
none OF them have proved an exception 10

inches across his under shell, and who is
worth up to so per dozen when in season.
The very fact of such substitutions is
only compliment to the genuine article
and what the eye of the ineXpert gourmet
never sees the taste never grieves and
the man who does not know genuine ter
rapin the second time, does not deserve
to have it.
Every one knows the terrapin by sight,
but it is safe to say that there are scores
who are not acquainted with its cultiva-
tiOn or habits, for that is a trade secret
that the farmers are Chary of talking
about to outsiders. Two weeks ago had
the opportunity of visiting one of the
largest farms along the Chesapeake, and
found it more than ordinarily interesting
The largest and most important farm is
on the PawtuXen, aud consists of a salt
water lake which has been surrounded
by broad fence to keep out the muskrats
and foxes, these being the chief enemies
of the terrapin. With this exception they
appear to need little care other than duly
feeding them at fattening time. but what
they do not require in care they make up
in trouble of capturing for they are as
willy as woodchucks, and that is saying
good deal Forty years ago they were as
plentiful in the waters of Carolina, Mary
land and Virginia rs the European soldier
said tleas were in Spain, and they were in
those days principally taken in oyster
dredges. the first really large catch being

COMMUNION CUP FOR ALL.
Striking Innovation Made by Rooh-
ester Church.
From the PhiIadelphia Recorl

FROM the Philadelphia Record.
Rochester, n. Y, Sept. deacon J.
w. Davis, of the Fourth Baptist church
of Philadelphia, who was delegated by
his congregation to look into the workings
of the individual communion cup service
was present at the North Baptist church,
in this city, to-day and witnessed the GER
emony. This church is the second
in the world to adopt the service.
and the first Baptist church in the United
States to do so.
The cups are made of silver. They are
placed on q small tray, about thirty cups
TO each tray. The tray has a movable
wooden lid and an aperture in the top
allows the pouring of the wine into the
receptacles, after which they are passed
TO the members Of the congregation The
LID prevents any just or foreign matter
from getting into the wine
Deacon Davis was greatly impressed
with the service, and in an interview
with the Record representative said:
IL was afraid that the solemuity at
tending the service could not be main
tanned, but ] fad that / was mistaken in
this. When ] present my report to our
congregation next Sunday morning il will
be favorable tor the adoption Of the ser
vice IN the church 10 is grand innova-
ton. and l believe that il will become
universal as II becomes better known in
the world. 10 is my belief that our church
will adopt it,
