turtles. In a few days, fishing. and sold

York they, are worth from $50 to $75
dozen. When Etridge found such u
he went back to his fishing grounds and
caught two thousand more which he
took to Baltimore and sold for $780, This
was the beginning of the terrapin industry
and tempted other fishermen to the trade
until ten or twelve years ago the ruling
prices for wild terrapin were from 81 to s.
a dozen, according to size But the natural
increase did not keep pace with the demand
and determination was the result. There
are artificial terrapin plantations, but even
they do not produce enough for the mar
ket. The largest and most important is Oh
the Pawtuxent. where = small SAT- water
lake has been Enclosed with fence TO keep
out muskrats and foxes. which are the CHIEF
enemies of the terrapin.
The wild terrapin Is difficult TO catch. 1t
has always been a matter of dispute
whether its pursuit was fishing or hunting.
and it ought to have a name of Its own.
for the procedure is peculiar. In the fall
of the year the hunters dig long shallow
bitches on the marshes and flats, and when
the tide gets low scratch the bottom with
rakeS until 1t is covered with a muddy
paste. When the tide comes in X brings n
few terrapin, which find the soft bottom
and realize that they have discovered u
good place to burrow and spend the win
ter. Each tide brings more. and the mud
is kept soft between times. During the
winter the hunter goes down TO MS pre-
serves with a huge pitchfork and pushes
it into the mud till he strikes something.
In case he hits a terrapin and not stone
he digs 1t out and puts II in his basket All
through Maryland and Virginia during the
winter the darkies are to be seen day and
night on the marshes armed with long light
iron ro6s, probing for terrapin. When they
get scarce the hunter takes large quanti-
ties of brush and makes a fire over tho
place where he knows they are buried The
terrapin imagine that spring has come ana
crawl out to be captured.

A PECULIAR FACT
Thousands Of People Have Dyspepsia
i'm It's Worst Form and Do
Not Know 1t.

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most cases
the wrong thing is treated and the true
cause overlooked.
This IS because a weak digestion produces
symptoms resembling nearly every disease
because it weakens and disturbs the action
of every nerve and organ III the body. Poor
digestion causes heart trouble, kidney
troubles, lung weakness and especially
nervous breakdown or nervous prostration.
The nerves cannot stand the wear and tear
unless generously fed by well-digested,
wholesome food.
Keep the digestion good and no one need
fear the approach Of disease.
Mrs. II. NJ. Lee, of Rochester, N. Y,
writes: For the sake of suffering humanity
/ want to say that from a child had a very
weak stomach, threw up my food very often
after eating, and after few years nervous
dyspepsia resulted, and for more than TWEEN
ty years L have suffered inexpressibly. 1
tried many physicians and advertised RENE
dies with only temporary relief for nervous
dyspepsia, and not until 1 commenced talk
ing Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets last Septem-
ber-Six months ago-have | been free from
suffering caused by the condition of my
nerves and stomach; in short, chronic
nervous dyspepsia.
Tablets to many of my friends, and now l
want in public way to say they are the
safest, pleasantest and believe surest cure
Tor stomach ana nerve troubles. / write my
honest opinion and will gladly answer any
letter of inquiry at any time and feel that
[ am in my small way helping on a good
cause.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not patent
medicine, but they contain only the fruit
salts, digestive acids and peptones neces-
sary to help the weak stomach to promptly
and thoroughly digest food.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at 80 cents for full-Sized package, and
any one suffering from nervous dyspepsia
sour stomach, headache, acdity, gases,
belching. ETC., will find them not only a
quick relief but a radical cure.
Send to Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich,
for little book describing cause and cure Of
stomach troubles, giving symptoms and
treatment of the various forms of indiges-
ton.

The Future OF Germany and Russia.

Eastern Diplomat, IN harper.
In the days of their youthful friendship
the present German Emperor said to the
Austrian crown prince, Il mean to follow
the programme of Frederick the Great. ;"
To which the Inflated Archdulxe Rudolf re-
signedly replied, THAT programme implies
the destruction of Austria seems to be her
gramme is being followed steaSfastly, and
the Instruction of Austria seems to be her
only manifest destiny. And since on its
debris, as well as those of Turkey, which
must needs crumble at the same time, only
some kind of mixed state or confederacy
can arise, of which Hungary most likely
would assume the hegemony, German pol
Icy aims at securing both a predominant
influence at Pesth and the control of the
military forces of the Sultan. This control
is now complete and unshakable, and the
disposal of some 300 600 Turkish troops led
by German officers, may decide the for
tunes of a European war. With the two
moribund empires practically subservient
to her policy with their presumptive heir
eager TO profit by that policy, Germany
viii have little difficulty In striking an adj
vantageous bargain with Russia. 1t is not
with Russia that Germany will ever quar-
rel. These two have had a long practice in
settling their differences Mt the expense of
neighbors; and il may prove next TO impos-
sible TO oppose a combination which, In all
probability, holds in reserve offers capable
of satisfying the cravings OF France also.

TenavsOn az a Guest.

From Max Muller's "Auld Lang Syne."
Another, though less frequent, visitor TO
Oxford was Tennyson. His first visit to
our house was rather alarming. We lived
opposite Magdalen College, and our estab-
liShment was not calculated to receive sud-
den guests, particularly a poet laureate.
He stepped in one day during long vaca-
ton, when Oxford was almost empty.
Wishing TO show the great man all civil
ity, we asked him to dinner that night and
breakfast the next morning At that time
almost all the shops were in the market,
which closed at / o'clock My wife, a young
housekeeper, did her best for our honored
guest. He was known to be q gourmand
and at dinner he was evidently put out
when he found the sauce for the salmon
pleased, however, with the wing of a chick
en-, and said it was the only advantage he
got from being poet laureate, that he gem
orally received the liver wing of the chick
en-. The next morning at breakfast we had
rather plumed ourselves on having been
able to get dish of outlets, and were not
a little surprised when our guest arrived
to see him whip off the cover of the hot
dish. and to hear the exclamation: Mutton
chops, the staple of every bad inn in Eng
land However, these were but minor mat
ters, though not without Importance at
the time in the eyes of young wife to
whom TennySon had been like one Of the
immortals. He was simply delightful and
full of inquiries about the East, more par
ticularly about Indian poetry, and / be-

HE TRAVELLED ON A PASS.
As "a Result He Thought He Owned the
Whole Road.

Washington Star.
1T brings joy to my soul to SEQ a grum-
bier laid low remarked a travelling man
to a reporter, and when asked for the story
implied the following was related:
I'VE were making. the run from New York
to Washington. 1t was a fast train in
charge OF an amiable conductor. The por-
ter in our car had the patience of Job and
the good nature peculiar to fac men, There
were no crying babies aboard; not single
bridal couple; no complaining old maids,
and no boy orator. In fact, It was an
ideal travelling combination, with single

aboard, who had much fault to find as
if hefwere a passenger on one of the Four
teenth-street cars going north, at the pres
ent writing. Nothing suited him, and the
claimed him nothing short Of a bank presi-
dent or a director Of the road. During the
entire run we heard nothing but COM
plants. The roadbed was uneven as a
cobblestone street. There wasn't thing
obtainable in the dining fit to eat. The
smoking compartment was so small man

the rest of us would have willingly endured
a wreck to put quietus on the kicker

him a substantial reason for his wholesale
1T was a trying ordeal for his fellow
passengers, and our combined sympathy
went out to the continually abused porter.
The grumbler made the atmosphere of the
car heavy with the most emphatic oaths
in the unchristlan language, and the air was
rendered dark blue by his profane elo-
quence- A general prayer of thankfulness
ascended heavenward when the grumbler
finally slept We even endured his snoring
without a murmur The next morning.

son up, and he made things lively in that
car. Pretty soon everybody else was up.
and the people we're sitting In their seats
holding on to grips and umbrellas ready TO
fly directly the train steamed into the sta
ton.
THE grumbler was being brushed by the
porter down in the front end OF the car, and
every movement of the broom in the por-
tiers hand was accompanied by Volley OF
/ profanity. At the conclusion OF one OF these

THE humor of the question was appre-
