 From April to June they repair to the shore in order to deposit their eggs. The Tortugas islands, which are unin- habited and which are visited only by wreclScrs and turtle fishermen, are one of their favorite haunts, but any desert beach of the coast is equally good for their purposes,
 The female creeps up on the shore two or three times, excavates hole, and deposits therein from 100 to 900 eggs about 800 during the season. and returns to the same place nearly every time, and, on each occasion. covers the eggs with sand in order to conceal the site of the nest
 The sun does the rest, but the sea birds devour many of the young ones which, as soon as matched, open a passageway 10 the exterior and betake themselves to the ocean. The flesh of this species is excellent, and forms the principal ingredient of green turtle soup; and the amateur will tell you that there is nothing so good as the "calipash, the flesh mixed with green fat that is found under the earapaec.
 The yellowish "calipee' of the plas. tron is good. too, but the calipash is certainly better, either in soup or broiled This meat is sold in the large cities, both in fresh and preserved state.
 The snapping turtle and alligator turtle are esteemed, but the terrapins (pseudcmys) are better known, and figure alone with the green turtle upon restaurant bills of fare.

Dr. Abbott thinks that t has no basis in fact and voices his opinion in these words:

birth of her infant daughter the needle made it's appearance in the infants shoulder There could be no doubt that it was the original needle by which the mother had been attacked in 1860, for it was of Ia peculiar and now obsolete pattern, and the mother dis tinctly remembered that needles of that pattern were Tn use at the time of her attack. There could be no doubt that the infant inherited the needle from her mother and that henceforth physicians will expect to find natural tendency to needles in the tissues. As it is asserted that people have died from needles, although there are very few such cases on record, the Insurance companies will doubtless add to the questions which they put to candi- dates for insurance; Did your father or mother ever swallow needles and, if so, how many, and of what kind--sew- ing, alarming or carpet?"-Spare Mo ments.

Under such circumstances it appears rather D misfortune to be paid ones just dues.
 There is an official, however, who suf- fers no inconvenience either from thc national shiftlessness or the unwialdi- ness of the common currency. In Corea, at oil events. the state electrician has the whip hand. Not only is he the only Europan not paid by the customs who gets his pay regularly, but he is paid either in bullion or gold dust. The secret of his pull is that the king and all his court are al so afraid of ghosts that they sit up all night There are sorccrers, and the electric light, also, to keep off the ghosts. If the electri- cian's pay falls into arrears the light apparatus breaks down, and cannot be repaired until he is raid up.
