And It Is Now the Fashion to Get I'm
married.

married.
New York Tribune: A group of lit
lie girls, from IL to IA, were talking
with each other one day on Bailey's
beach at Newport, a few days ago, and
q stranger curious to hear what the
children Of the elect conversed about,
took a seat on the sand in their neigh
borhood. They were talking Of the fu-
ture, as children Of their age are wont
to do, and. Of course, the prospective
bridegroom came in for a large share
OF their attention. Yes, l shall mar
ry," announced unquestionably the
beauty OF the party, a lovely girl of 10,
but" she added with calm conviction.
Il do not think ! shall stay married
long. l get tired Of people so easily.
| shall probably get a divorce after a
few years. Her sentiments did not
seem to excite any surprise or disap-
proval. but one Of the group said timid-
ly: MY mother thinks 1t is very
wrong to be divorced. She says 1t is
a solemn vow for better or worse, and
II 1t Is for worse, why people must
stand it." The other laughed mock
insly. and the first speaker who SEEM
ed to be the spokesman for the party
answered with the wearied air OF a
woman Of the world, which she had
successful copies from some admired
friend of her mothers, How funny
you are, Margery. with your old fash
Toned ideas. Fashions change in mar
rage like In everything else, and just
now 1t Is the fashion to get unmarried

Queer Turtles.

Baltimore Sun: Stewards barkentine
Priscilla. Captain Springsteen, from
Rio Janeiro. arrived with IL, 1000 bags
of coffee and an embryo menagerie on
board. Every sailor had a parrot and
one had a monkey, which he cherished
with almost parental affection. Along
side these pets OF the crew Captain
Springsteen had an improvised aqua
rium-three specimens OF small turtles,
which had been placed in his care by
officers Of the United States gunboat
Wilmington. The turtles were ''ba-
bles' OF that family, gathered in the
highest waters OF the Amazon, up
which the Wilmington navigated as
far as she could find water to float her.
They were placed on board the Priscil-
Ia In Rio Jaheiro to be delivered to the
Johns Hopkins university, in this city.
One has a peculiar head. upon which
are ears a donkey would be proud OF,
and a mouth that opens wider than q
negro minstrel's. The head does not
seek cover under the shell like other
tnftles, but closes up like an accordion.
These queer little specimens have had
the tender solicitude OF Capt SPRING
steen on the voyage. One became so
tame as to eat out OF the captains
hand. The donkey-eared, t~elescoping-
head fellow. no doubt proud OF charac-
teristics not natural to his fellow-tur-
ties, refused to receive his rations until
dropped into the aquarium.

Sea Serpent.

Many persons rave %professed to
have seen sea serpents. and while the
general belief is that there are no such
creatures, 1t is likely that those who
claim to have seen them did see things
which they honestly and very naturally
believed to be sea serpents. A striking
example Of the manner in which per-
sons may be deceived in this matter
has just been given by DR.. r. Du Bots
Raymond in a paper in which he de-
scribes his experiences on board of
the Scraps in October, 1890. 1t was
rather a foggy morning, and the water
was as smooth as glass. The vessel
was going through the Magellan straits
and the hours passed monotonously,
until suddenly the passengers noticed
an extraordinary object In the water
some distance away. At once the cry
arose that II could be nothing but a
sea serpent, and, indeed, there seemed
to be excellent grounds for this state
ment. since the object was certainly
alive, and as 1t moved through the
water presented all the appearance Of
an immense snake. That 1t had a
huge head vas clear to every one, and
that 1t was possessed OF an enormous
body was manifest from the manner
In which 1t splashed the waite on all
sides. A powerful telescope was pro-
cured and the uncanny object was
studied through II. Then its true char
acter was at once revealed. Instead Of
being a sea serpent ii was simply a
herd OF sea lions. The animals were
clustered close together, and as they
gamboled and moved through the
water they certainly presented the APP
pearance Of a long and bulky snake.
II they had been at a greater distance
1t would have been quite difficult to
discover what they really were, and 1t
Is not impossible that the passengers
would forever after have remain ID
convinced that they had actually seen
the wonderful sea serpent.

One OF the curiosities Of the Bank

OHIO HAPPENINGS.
THREE-CENT FARE.
The Offer to the city of Columbus ny the
Brice Syndicate for All Franchises
In the city

COLUMBUS, o.. December A. The So
called Brice syndicate, representing
the interests formerly controlled by
ex-senator Calvin $. Brice, has m ide
proposition to the city of Columbus to
take all the street railway franchises
which the city may have to dispose of.
They will make a three. cent fare, Civ
ing the city officials the privilege of
increasing the fare to five cents and
taking the two cents if they see fit.
They offer to give bond of $500, 600
for the faithful performance of their
contract.
This proposition is the result of the
city council having declared certain
franchises held by the Columbus Rail-
way company void. Disagreements
sprung up at the time of the copsolida-
tion of the Columbus Street and the
Columbus Central railways, and coun-
ell revoked and advertised certain
franchises, holding that the claim of
the present company was defective.
