Alta GREEN TURTLE BARBECUE

Arkansas Pass Supplies the World with the
Delicious Edible.
Mr. Roth reports that the chief topic
of conversation in the corner groceries
of Arkansas, Texas, at present is a
green turtle barbecue to be given there
about the middle of February. "Aran-
sas Pass supplies the world with this
delicious edible" said the gentleman to
a st. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter.
I'VE have the only green turtle can
merry in existence, and our shipments
are to all parts of the globe. The bust
ness is growing rapidly. The turtles
are of all sizes, up to big fellows
weighing 600 pounds. After being
caught they are kept in pens about
100 feet square. There must be 20 or 80
pens. The turtles are fed regularly,
and as much care is taken of them as
II they were so many heads of hogs
being fattened for the market How
are they caught? Why, with pieces of
red flannel cloth. That seems strange,
but 1t is no fish story. No hooks,
seines or harpoons are used. They are
not mud turtles, such are caught near
the shore, but deep-sea turtles. The
bait. a piece of red flannel is fastened
on one end of a line and lowered into
the water. Mr.. Turtle catches hold of
the rag and refuses to let go until
drawn out OF the water. The fisher
man does not try to haul him into the
boat, but pulls him to shore and there
captures him without any difficulty"

pany; not negotiable" printed with an
India rubber stamp. There was no trace
of these when the check was presented
at the bank, and as it was payable to
bearer it was cashed, though, of course,
the signature was forged. This process
of obliteration is a marvel of applied
chemistry; and in the interest of science
some rogue who is retiring from bust
ness should be urged to explain. It may
be that the ink used with India rubber
stamps is not of the same quality as that
used with the pen. But there was a
case, if we remember. rightly, in which
the very amount of the draft had been
altered by the same method, figures,
text and all. This seems to carry us
one step beyond the miracle of splitting
a banknote. The next thing will be to
manipulate the perforated letters in the
same way, and then we may as well
give it up, and wait for the suppression
of checks by the millennium.-London

A HORSE IN THE NAVY.

Official Regulations Little Vague to
the Treatment of Live Stock.
Several years ago board of naval Of
fcers was ordered by the commandant Of
one of our naval stations to hold a sur
vey on one of the horses belonging to
the station. The board met, examined
the horse, found that he was suffering
and was generally run down. An ex-
animation of the navy regulations
showed that only certain recommends
lions could be made by the board as
follows:
ITO be turned into store for use''
ITO be retained in or for use,' "Sold,"
used for scrap metal, y ITO be issued
for any other purpose ''To be thrown
some other station .'To be used for re-
pairs for some other article" or ''To be
extensively repaired" Since it was the
unanimous opinion of the board that he
ought to be treated by veterinary sur
geon, it was recommended in conformity
with the regulations, ''that he be ex-
tensively repaired"
This was three or four years ago, and
he was Extensively repaired by a veter-
mary surgeon, but evidently the "re-
pairs" were not lasting, as the sequel
will show.
Recently there came a recommended
ton from the present commandant that
the horse be shot, as he was old and
worthless, and that it would be kind
ness to put him out of his misery.
In the same mail came requisition
from the same commandment asking for
authority to buy ten tons of AL frst-class
fertilizer.
1t was then that the navy department
endorsed on the requisition "Why not
use the horse to produce the fertilizer"
The commandant promptly returned
the paper with the endorsement, "Since
the horse is not an Al frst-class horse,
being old and decrepit, he is incapable
of filling the bills

N-THE-sLOT BANKS.
Signor Artom's Popular Depository in
Italy.

Sig. Artom has introduced in Italy
the penny-in-the-slot savings bank,
planting these receptacles here and there
in the towns and cities in places where
the poor can find ready access to them
at all hours and where they can make
their deposits without any delay or for
mality. The depository is an automatic
bank consisting of a cast iron box or
pillar in which there are three aperturcs
one for the reception of the coin, which
is a 10-centime piece; another for its re-
lection if it is false or of light weight,
and from the third a receipt for the
deposit is given. When a number of
these, not less than five, is collected,
they may be exchanged for a book of
the regular savings bank. These pay
interest at the rate of per cent and
the depositors are likewise entitled to a
share in the profits which the bank de-
rives from it's operations. The plan had
it's origin in Padua and has been extend
ed to Milan and other cities, promising
to become popular all over the country.
1t has been found a powerful incentive
to thrift wherever it has been tried.
Miss Helen Zimmern, who writes about
it in the Leisure Hour, recommends it's
introduction into England. She says it
is true that they already have the penny
bank there, but that it is hedged round
with restrictions as to time and place,
whereas the penny-in-the-slot depository
is available at any and every hour and
can be put up anywhere, holding out it's
perpetual invitation to frugality and saw
ing. There is not the least doubt that it is
a capital thing and would be as useful
here as anywhere else. Whoever fol-
lows the lead of Sig. Artom and sue
cessfully promites it's adoption in this
country will be public benefactor.

Rats and mice love mushrooms and

Persons who suffer from sleepless

or of hot lemonade or cocoa is an excel

The royal game of chess, confined
formerly to the cultured and favored
classes, has grown apace with the growth

in the daily and weekly Press, with 600
clubs devoted exclusively to the cultiva-
ton of chess.

Cannot Leaye EngIand.

The lord chancellor is the only member
of the British cabinet who is not allowed
to go outside of Great Britain. This is
because he must have the great seal in
his personal custody, and to take the
great seal outside of Great Britain
would almost be an act of high treason.
When Cardinal Wolsey was lord chan
cellor he took it with him on a visit to
France, and thereby FASTENED his fall,
in the opinion of many. The great seal,
which is double silver die into which
molten wax is poured when an impress
sion is required for a state document,
was once used for culinary purposes.
While Lord Chancellor Brougham was
staying, in 1888, at Rothiemurchus, the
Scottish residence of the then Dowager
Duchess of Bedford, the ladies of the
party got possession of the great seal,
and hid it. much to the lord keeper s
distress of mind, for he feared it was
lost. He was blindfolded by the ladies
and sent to search for it in the drawing
room. At last, to his intense joy, he
dragged it forth from a tea chest, and
then, to celebrate its recovery, used it
for making pancakes in the kitchen.

to be furnished cheaply for next winter.

oil is sold cheaper in Yokohama than
here. The ways of commerce are past

SNUFF FOR THE POPE.
1t is Manufactured in Baltimore of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky Tobacco.

1t is Manufa ctured in Baltimore of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky Tobacco.
Pope Leo XIII. adheres to custom
still practiced in this country by gentle
of the old school-that of using snuff.
1t is not generally known that the snuff
used by the head of the Roman Catholic
church is made especially for his use in
Baltimore. 1t is the highest-priced snuff
made anywhere in the world, and it's
value is increased several times above
the original cost after the customs duty
has been paid to the Italian government.
The snuff of the prince of Rome is
manufactured from the pick of the finest
Virginia and Kentucky tobacco, the Bal
timore firm which makes the snuff being
careful that every vestige of stem is re-
moved from the tobacco before it under
goes the process which changes the leaf
to a sneeze provoker. Before it is packed
the snuff is favored with the costly at
tar of roses. One hundred pounds were
first ordered for the Vatican. This was
packed in 1-pound and 5-pound jars, each
jar being placed in leather case lined
with cardinal satin. The jars were of
the same color. and each was tied with
cardinal ribbon. In honor of Cardinal
Gibbons, through whom the Baltimore
firm secured its first order, the snuff
was called Cardinal snuff"
1t is supposed that the 5-pound jars
found a resting place in the private
apartments of his holiness. The 1-pound
jars were used as presents from the Pope
to various cardinals and to others of his
friends fond of a good Baltimore sneeze.
Rev. John P. Farrelley of the Ameri-
can college at Rome appears to have
been numbered among the latter, and
must haze pinched of the Pope's snuff,
for the Baltimore makers recently re-
ceived an order from Father Farrelley
for "some of the snuff his holiness uses. -
This order has been filled.
Pope Plus TX. was a snuff-taker, too,
and Baltimore enjoyed the distinction of
making his snuff. The brand was known
as "Pio Mono"

TALLYING PINEAPPLES.
Quick Work Done in handling the Fruit
ON the Wharves.

Quick work Done In Handing the Fru1I
on the Wharves.
The pineapple season lasts from about
March 1 to about August 1. New York
gets pineapples from the Florida keys,
from the West Indies and from the
Bahamas; some come in steamers, some
in sailing vessels. Pineapples from Ha-
vana by steamer are brought in barrels
and crates; pineapples brought in sailing
vessels are brought mostly in bulk, not
thrown in loosely, however, but snugly
slowed, so that as many as possible may
be got into vessel.
On the Wharves here plneapples
brought in bulk are handled with great
celebrity. Men in the hold Of the vessel
fill bushel baskets with them, and hand
the baskets up on deck, where they are
passed along and set up on the string
they are to be carted away are backed
down handy. A box of suitable height,
and which is as long as the truck is wide,
is placed at the end of the truck. A man
standing near on the wharf lifts
the baskets from the stringpiece and sets
the box, each with basket of pine
apples in front of him, to count the pines
and throw them into the truck, which
has racks at the sides; lengths of board
are placed across the end as the load
rises. Two men stand in the truck to
. lever the IrulL as IL COMES Ill 10 Iu0L.
The two counters are experts and they
work with great rapidity and steadiness,
keeping pineapples going all the time.
Each man picks up two pineapples at a
time, one with each hand, and gives them
toss into the truck, both men counting
as they go along, one after another,
''one," "two," three -four Give"
and so on up, each count meaning two
pineapples. When they strike zone hun
dred," the tallyman makes a straight
chalk mark on the end of the truck; that
stands for two hundred pfneapples.
While he is making the chalk mark the
other counter keeps right on and he may
have got up to "two'' or three again,
for it takes a second or two to make the
chalk mark, but by that time the tally
man is at it again Ginning in with
-four" and away they go together again.
counting up rapidly toward another hun
dred. If a man on the load finds a
specked pine, he drops it over the side of
the truck into a basket that stands there,
and says: "One out" The tallyman
losses in one without counting, to keep
the count good.
AS fast as the counters empty the bas-
kets they push them off the box, and the
man at the stringpiece sets up full one
in its place and the counters keep the
pineapples going without cessation. At
the fifth hundred the tallyman makes a
mark diagonally across the four he has
already made, in the commonly used
method of tallying freight: but these five
marks here stand for a thousand pine
apples On a double truck there are
usually carried from 1900 to $500 pine
apples: on a single truck from 1000 to
350O.-NeW York Sun.
