while travelling in Mexico a few years

Points About Terrapin.

Terrapin begin laying about the middle
of May and hatch in about 30 days. The
female terrapin scratches a hole In tho sand
with her forepaws, deposits her eggs, from
13 to 10, in it, and then covers them up
and leaves the heat of the sun on the sand
to hatch out the young terrapins.
They are not much bigger when Matched
than mans thumb nail, and arc as soft
as dough. They crawl around pretty live
" and begin to hunt for their food, con-
sisting of small fish, crabs, etc. The first
summer they are quite small, and about
the first to the middle of November they
go into their winter quarters. These con-
sist of some soft mudhole in the marsh or
on the bottom of some stream. Here they
sleep until about the middle of April or
later, when they come out and are of quite
respectable size, say inches in breadth.
The next year they are inches and the
third inches in breadth.
1t Is undoubtedly while the terrapin
slumbers in the mud that no acquires the
peculiar qualities for which we admire
him. 1t is the only flesh known which
one can crush In his mouth with his tongue
without the aid of his teeth. The other
animals run about, sleeping only at night.
The terrapin sleeps night and day for six
or seven months of the year and takes his
night maps, too, for the balance of the year.
An old islander volunteers the informa-
ton that there are two favorite ways OF
cooking them-to take the terrapin meat
after it is taken from the shell and put 1t
in some fat pork and pie dough and make
terrapin potpie. This Is the very best
way, but If the person who Is to do the
eating is poorly then it should be stewed
with just the terrapin meat alone and a
little clear soup mingled with it.-Balti-

Gently that discounts the story Of the ten
derfoot who sat quietly In a saloon while
two cowboys emptied their revolvers at
each other. 1t had been decided to scare
the tenderfoot by having a sham shooting
scrape take place in his presence, but he
had been posted by a friend as to what was
to be done, and when the real thing took
place he sat with his feet upon a card table
calmly smoking cigar while the bullets
flew all around him. The story of his
bravery spread rapidly, and he was after
that hero in the eyes of the western cow
boys among whom he had come to live.
The Falkland episode has In about the
same manner made a heroine of a promi-
nent Fourth avenue lady. She and a friend
were calling on lady friend In Falkland

WILLIAM X. VANDERBILT.

In France this year for the first time OF
course 1t Is known that Mr.. Vanderbilt.
couple of years ago, bought In America,
mostly from Mr.. Pierre Lorillard, some 10
head of brood mares, nearly all of them in
foal, and had them shipped to bis country
place near Paris.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, however, does not in
tend to let business interfere with his in
clination to race in modest way, as is
proved by the fact that the get Of these
mares, now 2-year-olds, have been entered
in many of the important French 2-year-
old stakes. They will carry his colors there
at the big meetings the coming summer.
OF Mr.. Vanderbilt's racing ventures one
of his friends said recently: 81 don't think
Mr. Vanderbilt has any intention at all to
go into racing on large scale. He Is fond
of horses, and, having bred some fairly
promising youngsters, / suppose that he
would like to enjoy the pleasure that a
breeder usually feels in seeing some Of his
own breeding race.
"He will race in France in preference to
both England and this country, because
he can do SO without attracting undue no.
toriety. In France the people are very con-
siderate In that way. They are not in
olined to pry into the personal and domes-
tic affairs of a man just because he is un-
fortunate enough to be wealthy. ! have
no idea that Mr.. Vanderbilt will ever race
in this country, although should be glad
to see him do so. / presume he will con.
tinue to breed race horses In France In q
small way, and that some of his horses
will take part in the big events there. -

Easter In Art.

1t is worthy of note that painters
have dealt less with the glories of Eas
ter than with almost any other event in
the history of the Lord Jesus. This is
probably because of its intrinsic diff
Guilty and trauscendent meaning. Art
has not as yet climbed to the height Of
its revelation. The Bethlehem story is a
favorite theme, and the babe and moth
er have from earliest times been pictur-
ed in almost infinite variety of circum-
stance and surrounding The trial scenes
and crucifixion have taxed the genius
of the greatest masters. The descent
from the cross and entombment have
engaged the most skillful pencils. But
who could find colors of heavenly bril-
the glorified Christ before whom the
keepers became as dead men? a few
have tried the task, but no masterpiece
has yet been presented. The best Easter
emblem is still the cross and dove. The
descent of the Spirit at the baptism, the
yielding up of the Spirit at the cruel
fixion-these are not Easter but are the
preliminaries for its understanding. Art
must still sit with rapt gaze at the emp
ty tomb.
Sometimes perhaps the artist will
come who can paint the sunshine, but
until then the best picture of the resur'
rection of Jesus must be found i'll a
glorified human face conscious of saliva

CHICAGO CAT CLUB.
Society Women Organize to Bring Together
Owners of Thoroughbred Animals.

Chicago women who are lovers of fine
cats organized club recently at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Leland Norton, 40ll Drexel
boulevard. The objects are to bring to-
gether the owners of thoroughbred ami
mails, to work for better breeding and to
see that Chicago has a cat show once q
year. Mrs. Norton was declared president.
She attends every exhibition of thorough
bred tabbies held in the United States and
declares that Chicagos cats can knock the
"ruffs," ''knickerbockers" and "tassels"
off any collection of cats she has yet SEEM
And the club has been organized to give

bers. Meetings will be held at the houses
of the members. Upon such occasions
coffee will be provided for the women and
milk punch and spring lamb for the cats,

or diet more stimulating than catnip tea

Mule VIII Kick, but Never Runs over

Touching the protest we occasionally
hear against the dangerous practice of
driving loose mules through the streets, 1t
may be we'll to assure the timorous that
there is no possible danger of mule run
ming over a child. You may set a baby In
the middle of Marietta street and drive a
thousand mules at wild gallop through
1t and not one would hurt the baby. 1t Is
well enough to give mules heels wide
berth, but no one ever heard of child or
man being run over by one. You could
not drive mule over a ohild.-Atlanta
Commercial.
