Tortoise Shell.

The tortoise shell is not the bony
covering of the turtle, bat it is the
scales that cover or shield the tur-
tie.
There are thirteen of these scales,
eight of which are fiat and five are a
little cured. Four of the Cat ones
are large, being sometimes foot in
length and seven inches in width.
The fishers do not kill the turtles,
but when they capture them they
fasten them and cover their backs
with dry leaves, to which they set
fire. When the heat makes the scales
separate, a large knife is inserted I'M
der them and they are carefully lift
ed from the backs of the turtles.
Many of the poor turtles die under
this cruel operation. The coating
sometimes grows again on those that
live, but when they are again caught
it is found that only one scale forms.

THE DEVIL OR JOHN BULL.

DR.. John Bull was the first Gresh-
am professor of music, and organist
and composer to Queen Elizabeth.
John, like true Englishman, trav-
eled for improvement, and having
heard Of a famous musician at st.
Omer's, he placed himself under him
as novice; but circumstance
very soon convinced the master that
he was inferior to the scholar. The
musician showed John a song which
he had composed in forty parts, tell
ing him at the same time, that be
defied all the world to produce a
person capable of adding another
part to his composition. Bull de-
sired to be left alone, and to be in
dulged for short time with pen and
ink. In less than three hours, he
added forty parts more to the song;
upon which the Frenchman was so
surprised, that he swore, in great
ecstasy, be must be either the devil
or John Bull, which has ever since
been proverbial il England.

Words of Wisdom.

Poetry is the language of pow
erty.
Money is often a concealed weap-
on.
Cupid does not know a dollar
from a doughnut.
A loud laugh in woman is like a
noise in n picture.
Confidence, in conversation, has a
greater share than wit.
When properly used one oppor-
tunlty will last lifetime.
No man feels entirely at ease in a
millinery establishment.
The old man who feels young can't
ford to act as he feels.
Women hate with their hearts and
despise with their heads.
You can do more for yourself
than anyone else can do for you.
Tact is sometimes an acquired
habit, but never in its highest form.
An error established in q mans
mind is equal to a fact to him.
Sometimes more is said by saying
nothing than by talking week.
Error never made a rope strong
enough TO strangle truth forever.

BILLINGS AND THE WAC.

Billings, the celebrated composer
of music, Boosted that there was 20
point in the science that he did not
fully understand. A Boston wag,
knoming his unbounded vanity, adj
dressed note to him requesting
an interview with him at the Lamb
Tavern on a particular day, stating
that he had question in music to
propose to him, which no other man
in Boston could answer.
Billings met the gentleman prompt
ly, and with much self,complacency
remarked, that he had devoted his
life to music, and believed that there
was no question on that science
which he could not at once answer,
and asked what the difficulty was
"The question" said the inquirer,
sis one which affects the whole
world, and has never been settled
"Let me hear it" exclaimed Bill
ings.
"Well, it is this, when man
snores in his sleep, through at least
two octaves, and so loud as to be
heard throughout the whole house,
do you consider these sounds Uocal
or Instrumental p
There is no record of the answer
Billings gave the wag.
