Turtle Soup Canned at Sea.

The board of general appraisers has
handed down a decision that the pro-
ducts of a canning factory, operated
by American citizens on q vessel carry.
ing cans of American manufacture,
but operating in Central American
waters and using Caribbean Sea and
Gulf of Mexico turtles with which to
fill the cans, are not dutiable.
The Oracle T. was sent from this
port in 1895. The majority of the
crew we're not sailors, but were cooks
and tinsmiths. The vessel proceeded
to the Gulf of Mexico and at once be.
gan the capture Of green turtles.
When a sufficient quantity had been
secured the fires yer lighted in the
kitchen and green turtle soup was
made and packed. The experiment
proved to be a success, and several
thousand cans of the soup were sent
to this port by the steamer Adiron-
dack and were entered on August 20,
1895, the Oracle T., in the mean
while, remaining South for further
orders.
When the goods arrived Collector
Kilbreth assessed a duty of twenty
per cent. ad vatorem as a foreign
soup product. R. I. Downing, rep
resenting the projectors of the enter
prise, appealed the case to the board
of appraisers, and a decision has been
handed down sustaining the objection
and overruling the Collector.
The Oracle T. will be at once re-
fitted in some American port and will
continue in the business of canning
turtle soup.
The decision was that the expedition
constituted an American fishery within
the statute. even if the turtles we're
caught. cooked and canned in foreign
waters. New York Journal Of Com,

Tine Horse tainted.

A rather good tory is going the
rounds of Germantown at the expense
of Mounted Policeman George Wharf
man. One day recently, when the
ground was covered with snow, Lem
Altpmus, the ~wcll-knoWn amateur ath.
lcte and polo player. went out for a
spin in his sleigh. Coming down York
road, the horse took fright. Mr.. Alte-
mus was gently deposited in a snow
drift, and the animal continued its
flight until It came violent contact with
q telegraph pole. The result of the col
IiSion sent the horse to the ground,
where he remained ONE minutes, eX-
hibiting no signs of life. A crowd OF
people soon c~ongregated about the ap-
parently dead animal. The form OF
Officer Whartman was soon conspic-
uous in the sympathetic crowd, and
after taking a good look at the pros
trate animal, went to a telephone and
ordered Joseph Ladley, residing in Ger
mantown, to lose no time in reaching
the place designated with an ambu-
lance to carry away the dead animal.
The ambulance was some time in get
ting to the scene. but when the driver
and Officer Whartman looked about for
the supposed dead horse he could not
be found. A visit to Mr.. Altemus'
stable disclosed the fact that the horse
after regaining consciousness, quickly
ran to it's home and appeared to be
none the worse for it's exciting experi.

Value of a Ton of Metal.

So remarkable are the results OBJ
tanned in the manufacture of wire that
a scientist has chosen this subject as q
topic for q lecture. Ordinary wire is,
as everybody knows, not at all expen-
sive. but when metal is worked up in
to some of the articles in common use,
its value is enormously increased.
Attention was called to pinlon wire,
which is worth over $40, 900 per ton.
It takes ' hundred and ffty-four
hair springs to weigh n ounce, and
twenty-seven millions Of them are re-
quired to make a ton. These tribes
are not at all expensive per piece, but
a ton of metal worked up into them
has a value of over $500, 900. The
most expensive ton OF metal men
toned was one which, if made up
into tiny instruments used by den
fists for extracting the nerves from
the teeth, would be worth 80, $50, 600.
The relation between crude metal and
the articles into which it is made
seems not very close, and only q care
full computation gives an approximate
idea of what q single ton OF iron or
steel can represent in cash value

Raising Buffalo to Sell.

His Speciality is Mosquitoes.

Professor Vincent, who is member
of the London (England) Geographical
Society, has come to this country on a
rather odd mission. He is studying
the mosquito here as he has studied it
in other parts of the world. He says
he finds the most ferocious specimens
in Greenland, on Cat Island, and in
the Gulf of Mexico. We hope thsoii
before he leaves he will spenda fei
hours on the east shore of New Haven
Harbor. 1t would be interesting to
know what O mosquito expert thinks
of the winged pests that inhabit that
otherwise favored locality. Of course,
our east-shore mosquitoes are not as
efficiently savage as are the Alaska
mosquitoes, which catch bears in
swamps and kill them, but they can
do good execution on a bare place,
and even on q place that IS covered
with pretty thick raiment. They
could, doubtless, give the English
professor some interesting lessons in
his favorite study. We call his atten-
ton to them and theirs to him. New

BRAINS, THE FARMERS REMEDY.

Slipshod farming will never again
pay in this country, If it ever did. 1t
was not much trouble to farm fifty
years ago. Anybody who could hold a
plow or a cradle or a scythe. and knew
enough to SOW and plant and reap at
the proper season, could farm. All
there was to do was to plant corn and
SOW wheat and oats and grass seed, har-
vest and market them. The animals
that were bred did not amount to much
anyhow. In the East the local butcher
would come around and buy the calves,
and as Il COW was a cow it did not make
any difference how long she lived. The
business was dead easy, as far as man
agelnpnt went. 1t was then all work
and no management, but now the man
ayrment is the principal things. The
farmer must think. and think hard. He
finds it necessary to diversity his crops,
more than evcr, and he is often at a
loss to decide in which direction to do
it. He has he brains to compete with
both on and Oft the farm. Bogus Du

tons Of every II of his products that

side with his produt lions in the mar
ket; and it is of no use for him to gru1m-
bic about it. While he is grumblinS,
the other fellow gets the money. He
must not grumhle, but think and plan.
He must recognize the fact that agri-
cultural pursuits, like other lines OF
business, have their complications, and
thai nothing on earth but the exercise
of the gray matter in his head will un-
rlyel them.-Farmcr'S Voice.

endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to ~womankind in the silence of
