TORTOISES BURNED ALIVE.
The Reptiles Are Cruelty Tortured
IN tie Process Of Smelling
Them,

London humauitdrians have received
another shock, and as a result, several
humane societies of England have
raised their voices in a protest against
the manufacture and use of combs.
hairpins, cigar and cigarette cases. and
other dainty articles made from tor
toise shell. They have discovered that
the procuring of the notified shell is
attended with considerable pain to the
original ~possessors Of the precious ma
terial.
The societies are making an effort to
discountenaucc the use of all articles
made from the shell until more merci-
full measures for its production pre-.
vail.
The largest part OF the shells which
come TO u markets are procured in
several groups Of islands near Ceylon.
The animals are caught by the natives
and their shells taken from them.
The shelliDg Of tortoise is not as
simple as the Smelling OF green pease,
and for severity it sounds much harsh
er than the p~lucking Of feathers from
live birds for the aGOrnnent Of femj-
nine vanity.
After being caught. they are induced
by rather warm persuasive measure to
come ont OF their covering. They are
first s~emi-bOiled over a red cmber fire
until the flesh that II the shell to
the body is softened. The animal is
then shelled clean, and though the suf-
feriug must be intense, one rarely dies,
but in a few months grows another
shell. of which it is deprived in the same
manner.

Jugernau brushes down all interests its Even
the Hon. John S. Writ subjected its tyranny and his
wishes Gubenaorial candidate ignored The story is
quickly told and begins with the calling the county

open violation OF all party CUSTOM the State Central Com

throughout the State. lnasmuch as delegates be
named to the State convention-te action all the
irregular, and well calculated inure Mr. Ws chances for
the Gubenaoria honor Against this call Mr. Writ protested
and was understood by him. that it would not be made
During his absence from Ekton the call issued and also
unknown to the third member of the county committee who
is close friend Of Mr.. Writ When appraised of the Cecil
county CALL Chairman Murray Vandve of the State Central
Committee, issued instructions that delegates the State
convention not be named at Tuesdays convention their
credentials would be accepted the convention
account of the rreguary and that the county would be
represented in this Mr. Writ also requested that the
State convention delegates be regularly chosen later but his
wishes we'll the Nandver instructions overrued BY
the Crohers faction. Mr. Writ then asked that he be
tended the usual courtesy of naming his delegates but this
refused The convention rulers were determined to be
sole dcatoS and thus treated of the partys leading
members with the greatest dscouresy and ngraude They
feared that might place certain county influence in the hands
OF Mr.. Writ Naturally this action aroused the greatest
indignation all Cecil county and the other " ring !"
methods pursued in the convention Tuesday only added
the general denunciaon of the whole affair." How the matter
is regarded throughout the State shown by the following
extract from the Baltimore News:
"The action of his county convention in nstructing its
delegates to the State convention for him in view the fact
that the State convention has not yet been fixed is very
unusual
It is backhanded stab at Mr. Writ and his friends and

WANTED-A BOY!

In thousands of households there is
wanted son who will not scowl when
asked to bring in wood or fill the stove
with coal-a willing, happy-hearted
boy, who will not draw a long breath,
and stamp with Impotence, when he is
wanted to run an errand.-a son whose
first thought is to save his mother care
and anxiety, and who thinks nothing
too much trouble that gives her happi-
ness, boy who is merrier, and hap
pier, and jollier, and just as much of a
gentlemen, when with his own sister,
as when he is with any other boys sis
Ter; and who is glad to 90 with his
mother and sister to church, and to es-
cOrt them on the street,-a boy who is
kind and thoughtful at home, and hon
orable, pure, and true-hearted every
where. Such son as this is wanted
in every home. Such boy as this will
never find any door closed to MN.
Every situation that he desires will be
open to him, that he may do his best in
it. Sorrow will rarely come to him,
either as boy or as a man; and when
it does come, it will not stay long. He
will be prosperous. and will live long
in the land that God gives him. Ev-
cry home wants such a boy. The nation
wantsNsuch citizens in every home.
God wants the earth filled with such
people that he may give it to them for
an Inheritance.

WANTED-A GIRL!

Yes, wanted, a girl.-a daughter, in
thousands of homes, bright, smiling,
helpful, always ready to hold the baby,
set the table, or sweep the floor, and
to do these things so happily, and cheer
fully, and well that the baby will crow,
the table will look like a well-balanced
picture, and careful, critical grand
mother will find no dust under the
chairs or in the corners of the room.
Wanted loving daughter. the touch
of whose caressing fingers brings a hap
py light to the weary eyes of father
and mother, the sound of whose CHEEKY
voice and mellow laughter is a Joy to
the whole household. Where is there
home in which such a daughter is
not wanted? Does any one know such
girl? There is a situation open for
her. Sheis advertised for, sought for
she can have any place she wants; the
world is hers,-but why are there not
more applicants?-Ah, she is already
occupied she has a home which can
not give her up; she is enshrined in
the hearts of father and mother; her
brothers have bound her about with
the cords of love, and will not let her
go.
Those are sorrowing homes where she
is not; for they have lack which is
hard to fill. Blessed be the daughter
of the household. God comfort the
home that has her not.-The Pilgram.
