THE EMBARRASSED BANKS.
No important Changes at the Pacific
and the Peoples Home.

No important Changes at the Pacific
and the Peoples Home.
The time for the usual monthly meeting
of the directors of the Pacific Bank came
around yesterday. From the unexcited
manner in which DR.. Long and his associ-
ates entered the building at the appointed
hour and were not followed eagerly by
certain persons whose presence up to a
recent day was never missed, the inference
was drawn that nothing out Of the ordi-
nary was to happen.
In the little back room with the long
table through its center, around which so
many spicy quarrels have transpired since
the fated day in June last, the directors
tarried for only about an hour. The books
and reports which were laid before them
showed that the work of collecting from
creditors and realizing upon the assets of
the bank was succeeding very slowly. The
first dividend of S75.00G. which was the .
per cent ordered, had been almost paid
of, but there was so little money coming
in that no time could be determined upon
for the declaration of another dividend
A the sister bank, whose fortunes fell
with the catastrophe of the Pacific Bank,
the only new development was slight
increase in the strength of the stock
holders and depOsitoTS' resolution 10

The Supreme Court has not yet re-
turned its decision upon the Knight In
junction case. so matters are in statu quo
legally. The absence of Judges Fitzgerald
aud De Haven and others at the cOnven-
tion al Sacramento left only Judge Beatty
on the bench, and his Honor has not felt
warranted ID sitting upon the case alone,
although it has been pressed upon him as
a special urgency matter. Now that the
full bench, with one exception. is in the
city a decision Is expected at once.
Meantime the stockholders are prepar-
ing 10 take things in their own hands for
the meeting called July and relieve the
board of directors OF their embarrassment t

Emperor Williams Hard Head.

In conferring upon Mgr. della Volpe, the grand master of the household of the pope, the grand cross of the Order of the Crown, Emperor William has shown remarkable spirit of forgive ness. On the occasion of the kaiser's first visit to the pope his majesty let his helmet tumble to the ground. Mgr. della Volpe immediately stopped to pick it up. Unfortunately Emperor William bent down for the same pur- pose, and the head of the monarch and that of the prtlate came into violent collision, and the gravity of all present was put to a severe test. It required the utmost presence of mind on the part of the monsignor to restrain him self from applying his hands to his damaged pate, and since then he has not hesitated to proclaim Emperor Will liam as being the most hard-headed monarch in Christendom.

NO AFTERNOON.
Morning and Evening Salutations in the
 National Capital.

National Capital.
 Strangers to Washington often re- mark upon the custom of addressing one at all times of the day by the uni form salutatiOn: Good morning." It sound odd to a westerner to hear one address him with Good morning" at five o'clock in the afternoon.
 This custom. says the Indianapolis Journal, is as old as the congress of the United States and the hours of ex- ecutive business in the various depart ments. It is said to be directly due to the morning hour in congress. The standing rules of the two houses of congress provide for a''morning hour" which extends from twelve to two o'clock, and that provision has made it common to refer to morning busi- ness in congress, which occurs before the regular order" Frequently the regular order is not resumed, and the morning hour is extended until four or five o'clock, especially in the latter days of congress and when there is great jam of business. In the executive departments reference is made to the morning work" during the entire day. This is all, of course, official parlance. The custom has grown so that it ex- tends throughout social life and in all sorts of private business, until it is morning until all government business is at an end in Washington. When the sun goes down and twilight sets in it is Good evening"" It is never after noon in the national capital.

TERRAPlN FARMING.
How the Market Is Supplied with This
 Great Delicacy.

Terrapins, the now greatest delicacy known to the epicure, are little low CT in price this year than they were last, although their comparative scar city makes them one of the most prec- ious luxuries. Counts s''-that is, ter rapins that measure six inches or over which brought ifty-fve dollars per dozen last year are now selling for fifty dollars. The largest specimens are highly prized for their flesh, and have brought even this year as high as seventy two dollars per dozen. The more common varieties, which have not changed materially in price, sell for fifteen to twenty dollars.
 Terrapin farming, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, as it is technically dubbed by the trade, has proved itself a lucrative business. Of late years many have entered into it and have earned good living by plying their strange trade. One of the most noted of these farms is situated on Hog Is land, Va, which is located at the mouth of the Coan river, where all the advantages of water and surroundings necessary for the rearing of the ami mals, are at hand. The farm covers
Arizona republican., 1894-01-07

about two and one-half acres of land and water, and is surrounded by a board fence, which effectually pre- vents the terrapins from escaping. The interior is divided into lots. Marshy ground is afforded the animals for burrowing in the mud when cold weather sets in.
 The summer months seem to be the favorite time for the terrapin to lay it's eggs This operation is performed in a peculiar way, which admirably demon strates the sagacity of the animal. The female first digs a hole in the sand with her claws and hollows it out clev- erly in the form of an inverted cone. In this she deposits her eggs, one layer at a time, and having filled the cavity she covers it over carefully, and, with her hard breast shell, packs the sand down over the nest. She usually lays obout twelve eggs, this being a fair average. The heat of the sun matches the eggs, and after they have been in the ground about two months and half the little fellows dig them selves out of the sand and take to the water, where they proceed to obtain nourishment as best they can. When the cold weather comes on the terrapin hunts his winter quarters, which are generally located at the bottom of the pond. The older ones sleep all the winter at the bottom and the younger ones live around the edges of the bank. As a natural consequence the terrapin only requires care during the warm weather. Then they must be fed regularly with fish, crabs and other food of which they are fond. Such farms are stocked at any season of the year. Whenever the animals are caught they are placed within the in- closure, where they find the quarters all prepared for their reception.

AN OPEN ARCTIC SEA.
The Existence of One Is Not Alto-
 gether Improbable.
The Extraordinary Experience of an Old Arctic Sailor Among the Natives of the Frigid Polar
 Regions.

That steamers can pass through the Arctic ocean in certain years is the opinion of Capt A. H. McGregor, based upon his experience in the polar re- gions. Capt. McGregor has seen twen- ty-three years service in the Arctic, and commands the steamer Orca, owned by the Pacific Whaling com pany, of San Francisco, says the Port land Oregonian. He was in this city lately, and talked entertainingly of his experience.
 ''Last year." he said, mine of the Pacific Whaling company's steamers and ships reached Cape Bathurst, the farthest point north and east ever reached by vessel of any kind. We had been whaling in Behring sea, and, having finished what is termed the outside catch in July, we started for the Arctic to finish the season. We passed along the east shore, rounded point barrow, and then made the jour- ney to the cape, which is near the Me Kenzie river. We cast anchor and whaled there the rest of the season. The natives were somewhat surprised at our appearance, but as they had seen white men before, they soon over came whatever fear they might have felt and became very friendly. They did not differ in the least from other Esquimaux. We sounded the ocean near the Mckenzie, and found that a boat drawing more than four feet of water could not approach within thirty miles of the river. The land on both sides was mountainous and covered with snow.
 ''The oldest native told us that it was many winters since white men came in boats, which led me to be- Heve that no boat had reached the cape since Capt. Collinson was there in 1855. Capt. Collinson and his party visited the place in small boats when they were making a survey of the British possessions, but they were compelled to remain there three years before they could return.
 ''We could have made the trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic last year if we had so desired, but our business was whaling, not exploring. We found what is called the breaking ground of the whales, which lies between Cape Bathurst and the Mckenzie river. We left four vessels, the Norwalk, Balaeva, Grampus and Newport to winter there while the others finished the season on the Siberian coast. Those that wintered in the Arctic have been whaling all summer, but we have had no report from them and do not know if the ocean is open again this year. Natives at the cape whom I questioned told me that the ocean was fairly open three years out of four, and that there was great big sea one year in five. Last year was what they termed great big sea- and they said that the same conditions prevailed in 1889. A large vessel could not pass through fairly open sea, so the chances of reaching Greenland through the Arctic sea are one in five. From this I am inclined to believe that Collinson entered the ocean when it was open"

Artificial Eyes.

Q A prominent manufacturer of artifi- cial eyes has unburdened himself on what he considers grievance He says that the public, and therefore opticians, will no longer pay the price for a good and well made article and that the market is being flooded with ''cheap foreign rubbish" He alleges that the cheap eyes crack after very few weeks wear. Pursuing the subject further we are informed that summer time is the best season for the sale of artificial eyes. People are at that time of the year more particular as to their appearance and discover more readily that the arti- ficial eye is beginning to lose its pris- tine perfection. Another point is that there are many people walking about whose outward appearance suggests that they are in full possession of both visual organs but have not even one. ''I have ftted," said the manufacturer. ''scores of people with two glass eyes" The innocent deception is the more suc- cessfully carried out owing to the fact that the blind, from force of habit, no doubt, look, or appear to look, one full in the face when talking London News.

Missed His Opportunity.

It is often remarked that there are many persons who go about hoping that they will meet with some mishap in order that they may present claim against a corporation for damages The other afternoon young man who was riding on the rear platform of a street car accidentally stood with one foot on steel bolt while the loose end of the wire that connects the light wire in the motor with the same kind of a wire in the trailer touched the side of his neck. The electric shock stunned him for an instant. He fell to the floor of the platform, but immedi- ately got up again all right.
 Are you hurt?" asked the conductor.
 ''No, not a bit," said the young man.
 The conductor took his name and wrote down the answer he had made. 'Now, if only had sense enough not to have got up and to have quivered like man badly hurt, might have had them up at my house settling with me for five hundred dollars cash within three hours," said the young man after he had got off the car Ut is what a fellow gets for not thinking before he speaks.
