Bedrock Terrapin Facts.

az have controlled the entire supply
of Chesapeake bay diamond back terra
pin for good many years, said MIR.
A. T. Lavallette of Crisfield, Nd. In
times gone by terrapin were so plentiful
that they were fed to the negro slaves,
being about the cheapest kind of food at
that period. Some of the masters would
overfeed their slaves to such an extent
that they were compelled to sign arti-
Giles of agreement that terrapin should
not be fed but once or twice per week.
If anybody doubts this, there are old
documents still on file at some of the
county seats of the eastern shore of
Maryland that will confirm the truth
of what / say.
1.-THE price for terrapin increased
with the demand up to 1893, the sup
ply during that time being on the de-
crease. Full counts'-that is, specimens
measuring seven inches and over and
weighing from three to six pounds
were worth then from 500 to $3.50 per
dozen, six inch counts weighing from
~ to "a pounds bringing from $50 to
$50 dozen. The smaller sizes, con-
tanning Few eggs, are never Ill great de-
mand. During a single season / have
sold Delmonico's $15, 900 worth of ter
rapin. I have also supplied John +.
Chamberlin for years, and he can come
nearer telling u perfect terrapin by its
outward appearance than any other
man in this country.
"Since 1898 the price has decreased,
while the supply has not increased.
This is owing to the practice of small
firms in shipping common southern,
North Carolina and Texas terrapin and
trying to palm them off on buyers as
the genuine Chesapeake article. The
trick, however, rarely succeeds.
"a large eight inch terrapin is said
by scientists to be 60 to 70 years old.
In not one case in u thousand do tho
males measure over five inches or weigh
over one pound. Washington Post.

Able to Reach Elusive Debtors.
The regulations of the postoffice de-
partment forbid postmasters to furnish
to inquirers the addresses of persons
who have removed from the residences
or places Of business formerly occupied
by them, the reason for this rule, as
given in the official instructions, being
as follows:
''The agents Of the postoffice depart
ment are furnished with the names and
addresses upon letters and other articles
Of mail matter for the sole purpose of
enabling them to make delivery thereof
to the persons intended. Such names
and addresses are to be regarded as con-
fldential, and this confidence must be
respected. :"
Among those to whom this regulation
furnishes protection against undesir-
able intrusion are some who have fol-
lowed the Arabian custom of silently
stealing away after due folding of tents,
but have omitted to settle with their
grocers, butchers and milkmen. The
anxious creditors on seeking from the
letter carrier or at the postoffice for aid
in finding the delinquents, are confronted
with this rule and retire from the
search baffled. An ingenious man, how
ever, whose business is that of collect
or of such debts, has hit upon method
OF smoking out these modest and retir-
ing nomads, and has practiced it with
success His plan is to send each Of
them circular bearing heading which
gives the impression that he is in the
express business, and informing the re-
cipient that he has package for him
which he is unable to deliver for lack of
knowledge of his present address, to
which it will be promptly dispatched
on receipt of the necessary information.
This circular is directed to the former
address Of the man who is wanted"
| and is then redirected and forwarded
| by tho postman to that which has been
conflded to the postoffice. Inspired by
wild hopes as to the possible value Of
tho package, the debtor takes the willy
author of the circular also into his con-
fldence, sends him his new address and
awaits the arrival of the mysterious
bundle, only to find too late that men
betray. He receives a call from his cred
itor's representative, with demand for
an immediate settlement or threat of a
lawsuit. Thus does the cunning pursuer
of the oft fitting debtor bring to naught
the august mandate of the government.

PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS.
Some Interesting Notes About DueIs and
the Practice OF Dueling.


Even in Germany the popularity of
the duel is open to some doubt. Its ex-
istence Is due not so much to a desire
for O combat as of fear what people will
say if there is no fight There have been
noted duelists who were always ready
for fray, and when they entered o
drawing room women quailed and hoped
it would not be their husbands or lovers
who would be so unlucky as to excite
the ire of the men Of blood.
During the occupation of Paris by the
allies there were duels every day, the
Frenchmen usually being the challen-
gers and the victors, as they were very
skillful with the small sword. Some
times, however, they made mistake,
as when they jeered at an English officer
over losing his leg at Waterloo. The
jeerer discovered that the loss Of his leg
did not interfere in the least with the
Englishman's aim.
There have been exceptions to the
mania for fighting at any price. An
English captain, challenged by o
Frenchman, had the choice of weapons
and chose pistols. The Frenchman de-
clared he would fight with nothing but
the sword. and interested friends finally
compromised on lances, on horseback.
The combat naturally attracted mulch
attention. A great crowd witnessed the
duel. One man received three ugly
prods, but finally killed his antagonist.
No duelist could ever be made smile
over the famous story of the Englishman
and Frenchman who were to fight a
duel in pitch dark room. Not wishing
to kill his man, the Englishman fired
up the chimney when the word was
given, and, to his surprise, brought
down the Frenchman, who had hidden
there When this story is told i'll France,
| it is always the Englishman who is up
| the chimney.
Fighting Fitzgerald was successful i'll
is duels before it was discovered that
| he always wore coat of mail. For
years his fame in society had rested on
his invariable success as a duelist, and
| this discovery was his undoing. A GER
tain major in fighting him objected
when his sword snapped on u heart
| thrust and demanded an investigation.
He was afterward hanged in Ireland for
numbering q neighbor.
The most tragic duel in England was
between Lord Byron, grandunole of the
| poet, and kinsman. 1t was fought il
tavern room by the light of one tallow
candle. Lord Byron was tried for muir
der, but got off on manslaughter, from
the penalties Of which he escaped be
cause he was peer Of the realm. This
safeguard Of peers was done away with
only during the present reign. Chicago
