one of our guardians steamed toward

towed. Once strange ship steamed
up too close, and instantly the nearest
torpedo boat was slipped like a grey
hound from the leash, and sped across
the water toward it; but the stranger
proved harmless. and the swift, deli

that we would win, that we should
score the first great triumph in

The streets are narrow. tortuous and

with those of a similar class i'm other

mosques and palaces are magnificent in

SUBSTITUTE TURTLES.
Inferior Kinds Are Being Supplied
I'm Place of the disappearing
Diamond Back.

With the passing of the diamond
back terrapin from local waters and
its general scarcity, says a Chester
town (Md) correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, the business Of developing
"sliders" and red belly" terrapins has
begun in the waters Of Kent county.
These terrapins are now in winter
quarters by the thousands in marshes,
and are in their best condition. The
slider" often attains extremely large
proportions, weighing as much as 90
pounds or over. The "red belly" is a
smaller species. The larger variety
sometimes sells as high as $3.50 apiece,
though the average price is from Is
cents to Sl.50. The smaller variety
sells for from rs cents 10 $3.50 per
dozen.
These terrapins bury in the mud
from three to five feet deep, and are
found by sounding with a stick and
pulled out with hook. The female,
before she deposits her eggs is most
sought after, as the numerous eggs
add greatly to the richness of the pre-
pared dish. The female terrapin de-
posits her eggs, ranging from % to 80
in number, in the sandy fields near by
her bedding grounds. She goes out
at night, makes a hole with her head
large enough to hold the eggs, and then
proceeds to lay. The eggs are then
covered with sand and packed, and the
terrapin seeks the water before the
sun becomes too hot.
An old trapper states that he had
known terrapins TO be killed by the
sun while making their way TO the
marsh after laying. The crow is the
greatest enemy to the terrapin, hunt
ing up their nests and destroying the
eggs by wholesale. The diamond back
has been almost entirely superseded by
the slider" and red belly"

TOO MANY PENNIES.

Over in Brooklyn there - "A lumber
dealer who has learned what ii IS TO

occasional use for pennies. He has
among his customers man who makes
hand. organs for the use of the street

pennies and passed over bills for them.

place in which to unload the pennies

An American dentist in Manila, in n

the idea Of providing by public subscrip-

United States soldiers garrisoning the
city, in the same manner as paupers
at home are RECALLED with all the good
things OF this life on that day. says the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch
The idea took beyond all expecta-
tons, for when the hat went round the
money flowed in so freely that in a
couple of days over 81. 900 was collected.
The soul of the movement waXed en-
thusiastic And so did the whole Amer
lean community.
Consul Wildman. in n thoughtless mo
meut, also allowed himself 10 be caught
by the fever. Committees and subcom-
mittees were then appointed and prep
arations began to be made in right
earnest and on most elaborate scale
for the grand spread.
But the American would-be patriots
counted without their host. who. i'm the
person of Admiral Dewey, issued gen
eral order quashing the whole thing
and ordering the refunding of the
money to the subscribers. Admiral
Dewey very sensibly says that the ac-
ceptance of public subscription din
ner is incompatible with the dignity of
an American sailor, and that the United
States government may well be trused
TO look after his comfort. The Ameri-
can dentist is sad. Consul Widman is
sadder, and the saddest of all were the
troopers and bluejnckets.
