A TURTLES HEAD ALIVE.

10 the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette ::
l must tell you about a strange thing
that happened to me. Father bought a
turtle (he says the turtles in our runs
are equal to the diamond-back terra
pins). l didn't know about that, but
surely they are queer chaps. Jim cut
off its head, and about half an hour
afterwards William and l found that
the head was alive. l took small
stick and was putting it in its mouth
when the head jumped up and grabbed
my finger and held on to it like grim
death. William and tried to make it
let go, but 1t was no use. l followed
for Jim, but when he came he said it
was no use trying, it would never let
go till it thundered. then started for
mother, dropping few tears and
sounding the fog horn on the way. She
shouted for father, calling to him to
bring his knife and cut its throat. did
not know what mother meant, for Jim
hadn't left any throat to it, and l
thought she wanted him to cut the
finger off, Father tried to prize the
mouth open by putting sticks in it and
twisting them about, but the more he
twisted the tighter it got, and | thought
there never was small boy in tighter
fix and felt like "Daniel in the lions
den.n At last he got strong prize and
1 jerked my finger out. Father says
they will snap for "a hours after the
heads are cut off. l write this as q
warning to small boys. BEE.

CORONATION NOTES.-The plate to
be used at the coronation dinner at
Moscow is of immense value. The
total weight of the plate, table linen
and other articles pertaining to the i'm
perial table is 2SS, 1000 pounds, the gold
and silver service alone weighing
10000 pounds. Among these services
the most remarkable, from an artistic
point of view, are the so-called Orloff
and London services. The London
service is made entirely of pure silver,
and consists of eight groups, repre-
sentng hunting and other scenes.
Another interesting service is the
Sevres set, which belonged to Cath
crime the Great The value of this col
lection is also enormous. A single
plate is reckoned to be worth at least
900 francs.
A picturesque description is furnish
ed by st. Petersburg correspondent
of the trial illumination of the Krem-
lin, which took place recently at Mos
COW. Notwithstanding that the ex-
pertinent was made in drizzlifg rain,
thousands of people from all parts OF
Moscow assembled to witness the bril-
liant spectacle, the surprising beauty
of which defes all description. All
the towers of the Kremlin were light
ed up by thousands of incandescent
lamps of various colors, and towering
above them was to be seen the golden
capped tower of Ivan the Great-a
veritable wall of light. The krem-
lin streamed with light, and from its
ancient walls the squares and sur
rounding streets were flooded by the
electric rays, which dazzled the eyes OF
the spectators.
