THE UNLUCKY TURTLE.
II II Succeeds In Evnding Human
Hunters II IL Run Down by
Dogs or Tigers.

while preparing our evening meal"
says Prince Maximilian, of Neuwied, in
his Tour in Brazil" 'and collecting
dry wood on the beach, we found CO.
lossal turtle on the point of laying its
eggs. Nothing could have been more
grateful to the hungry company.
Our presence did not disturb the
turtle. Four men lifted it up from the
ground, but ii evinced no other sign Of
restlessness than putting and blowing;
and the moment it was put down again
it began throwing up earth with its
fin-like hind feet. One of our soldiers
laid himself on the ground beside the
turtle, put his hand in the hole which
it had eXcavated, and threw out the
eggs as fast as the animal laid them.
About hundred were collected in this
way in ten minutes. This turtle usual
~ lays from ten to twelve dozen eggs.
Turtles often crawl up from the sra
and travel n distance of from 500 to
1000 feet on the shore to deposit their
eggs. Junghuhu found hundreds F
turtle skeletons on the coast of Java,
many of them five feet long and three
feet broad. Some of them were
bleached, but others were still fresh
and bleeding. In the air multitudes of
birds of prey were circling.
This is the spot where the poor tur-
ties are attacked by the wild dogs.
These savage animals, in packs Of 20
or more, attack every available spot of
their luckless victim; they bite its head,
paws and tail, and manage to turn il
over. They then tear up the stomach
shell and feast on the flesh and eggs.
Sometimes the turtle escapes and
reaches the sea, dragging the tugging
dogs after it. Sometimes, too, the tiger
regales himself on the turtle. Jung
huhu's Javanese drove off a tiger which
was worrying turtle. and seized the
still living prey, which six men could
scarcely carry

MILLIONS OF DICE.

as, for instance, tooth brushes. Bone
dice are made in IL sizes, from 0 to 10
inclusive, and in each of these sizes
they are made both square and round
rornered, as are all other kinds of dice.
In all kinds of dice there are sold of
the square-cornered variety ten times,
perhaps 20 times, as many as of those
made with rounded corners. Round
cornered dice are often used in playing
backgammon; they wear board less
than square-cornered dice would and
roll easier. There are made some black
bone dice with white spots, but the sale
of these is comparatively very limited.
The great majority of the very large
number of bone dice sold are in the form
of the familiar white cubes with black
spots.
Celluloid dice, which are made in this
country, are of both opaque and trans
parent material. The transparent dice
are made in saffron color, in magenta
and in green; the ouaque in imitation
of ivory. The imitation ivory dice are
finished in various ways as to the color
of the spots, some being made with
black spots and some with spots of
blue and some with red spots. The
spots on the various transparent dice
are made white. These various kinds
of celluloid dice are made in seven
sizes.
There are made in celluloid two styles
of poker dice, one octahedron-shaped
and containing on its eight faces rep
reservations of the seven, eight, nine,
ten, jack, queen, king and ace of or
binary playing cards; the other poker
dice is cube-shaped, containing on its
faces, instead of the spot, numbering

representations of the ordinary play
ing cards from the nine-spot to the ace
inclusive.
Dice are made in various sizes of
vegetable ivory, of ivory, and of pearl;
the most costly dice are those of pearl,
n set of five of medium size would cost
at retail about $3.50. Some of the bone
dice are very cheap, dice of small size
selling at retail for cent apiece, or ten
cents n dozen.
A considerable number of dice of
one kind and another are sold for use
In the household. All cabinets made
to hold cards and counters and so on
have compartment for dice, which
are part of the equipment, and many
dice for such use are sold separately.

A NOISY BOX.
The strange Eject Produced Upon
Guinea Natives by "a Boxed
Piano.

Like children, savages in all parts OF
the world are possessed of eternal Gu
riosity. Mr.. ii. Cayley-Webster, II we'll
known English traveller, gives an anus
ing instance of this trait among the ma
tives of New Guinea.
One day n piano arrived for his eX-
cellency the governor. and some natives
were told to carry the strengthening
case from the beach to the house. Aft
err going few yards one stumbled,
causing one end of the crate to strike
the ground. and, ever on the alert for
strange noises, their ears were imme-
diately pressed against it. and they
listened until the ting" of the wires
had died away.
Again. after yard or two, a similar
mishap occurred. Again many ears
were listening to the sound so foreign
to them, until a native more knowing
than the rest, with heave raised the
whole case few inches from the
ground and let it go.
The noise which issued from the in
side had by this time worked them up
to such frenzy that they one and all
seized upon the case, rolled it over and
over, and danced with joy at the
strange sounds which came forth. And
il was not until this odd performance
had been repeated many times that the
eye of an official was attracted by the
shouts and yells of the natives; not.
however, before much damage had been
done and many strings broken.
The natives who speak English have
now come to call the piano 'box belong
cry" and generally add:
"Whitey man, he fight, him belong
hand. Box, he cry out too much."-

HOUSE MOVED by A BOY.

He wanted to move the cottage higher

a number Of skillful building movers

after looking over the ground they
shook their heads and pronounced the
job impracticable. Mr.. Morton had al
most given up his idea when Charlie
Cavanagh, boy scarcely out of his
teens, offered to perform the feat.
The owner of the cottage was rather
skeptical, and frankly said SO, but the
boy was allowed to go ahead and show
what he could do.
The job was a pretty difficult one.
The building had to be lacked "a feet

CURIOUS ATTACHMENT.
How Little brown Dog showed -
Pig, which Was His Friend,
the Way Home.

There are few things more Interest,"
ing in the natural history of animals.
or, indeed. more wonderful, than the
partiality which individuals of totally
different race have exhibited for each
other. About ten years ago "A friend
who was n rector OF rural parish in
North Wales bought pig mt one OF HIS
village fairs. 1t belonged to n cottager
who lived nearly four miles from tho
place where the fair was held, and who
had probably brought it on foot from
his cottage that morning.
The pig was driven up to the rectory
and placed in the sty, and on the next
morning my friend went TO see his new
purchase and to turn him out into the
fold to take an airing, where he was
left to pick few peas that had been
thrown down to make his pastime more
agreeable.
After awhile the pig was not to be
found and n servant was sent to see
IL he had strayed back TO his old home.
There he was found happy and free
among the other animals of the cot
tage. He was again driven to his new
quarters, and confined to the sly for
nearly two days. When it was thought
he had become reconcilcd to his new
home or had forgotten his old one he
was again liberated and suffered to
roam at will about the fold.
lie was watched for awhile, but
seemed to he so entirely at home that
he was left and forgotten until it was
time to confine him to his own quarters,
when he was again sought form vain.
lie had once more strayed to his old
haunts, and had to be brought back
ngain.
On the morning following this escape
my friend went to the sly and found
near il little brown dog, which he then
remembered he had seen about the
premises several times since the fair,
and il occurred to him that the pig and
he were acquainted and would, IL the
opportunity were offered, trot home to-
gether.
So the pig was liberated in order to
see II the surmisc was correct. and sure
enough, recognition, sweet and tender.
was soon witnessed.
They were followed Mt n respectable
distance for fully half n mile. as they
diligently trotted home together, the
dog leading the way, and anxiousIy
looking back every now and then to SEQ
IL his friend was following.
The little dog had been missed by his
master for long periods together, and
his absence could not be accounted for
till my friend solved the mystery
There was evidently strong attach
ment between them, but whether It was
the force of this attachment or anxiety
to look after his masters interests, Tho
conduct Of the dog was equally wonder
ful.--London Mail.
