Wl;L my gastronD:ulr i1aic natural. ly was very curious tJ Luow just what L,ud of tcrrap.n nrc caught in these waters. for the dish Is one much sought after ly cplCurcs md forms part Of the menu for every first class hotel on thc coast. 1 was told that none Is caught about here. but was invited to n sea turtle hunt. Let the reader imagine turtle weighing all the way from l,2OO to l.JOO pounds, and not long ago one was turned over on the beach near Miami that weighed more than l.GOO pounds. Of course nm giving the largest weight, for the average weight of those caught along the coast ls about 500 pounds. After they are caught the turtles are kept for Q long time. their captors feeding them on cabbage. lettuce. turnlps, carrots and sea grasses.
 The study of this monster shellfish is n most interesting one. In order to get rid of the parasites that cling 10 their shells they often enter fresh streams to enjoy n bath. but they are extremely tImId and take fright at the least noise. The hunter knows. however, that the turtle feeds In brackish streams where the tide falls rather low and where the turtle grass grows in greatest profusion. The turtles cut great quantities of this grass and then roll IL Into ball. ccmentinG 1t as they roll IL with the clay In which the grass grows. and in this way. when they have managed to amass n goodly SUD- ply of provisions. they wait for high tide and float away seaward. feeding as they feat.
 The professional hunters are quick to detect these balls. and just the mo- ment they do so they set their seines and send their peggers. as the men are called. in search of the feeding shoals. Men are not the only enemies the tur- ties have. however. for bears. raccoons and otter animals native to Florida destroy great numbers of them.-Jack- sonvillc Flai Cor. Baltimore Amerl- can.

EDueArION AND POLITICS.


In his address on Education" be-
fore the Ministerial association at the
Methodist church last Thursday night
Chancellor Phillips, Of the Kansas
Wesleyan university, made the mistake
Of mixing politics with his subject.
Education is far too sacred to be
dragged down to the level of politics,
and whenever an attempt is made to
associate the two it is doing grave
injustice to the lofty cause.
Dr.. Phillips is a strong and forcible
speaker and it is unfortunate for him.
self and the cause for which he spoke
that he chose to make uncalled for
comparisons. The chancellor is an in
tense republican partisan and made no
attempt to disguise the fact in his ad-
dress. His statement that "the coun-
try-has never produced the like Of vii
liam Mckinley viii be questioned by
the majority" Abraham Lincoln stood
six feet and four inches, while Mr.. Nc
Kinley was but five feet eight inches
in height, and Lincoln will ever tower
above Mckinley in national greatness
as much if not more than in physical
height; and this can be said with all
due respect to the memory Of our late
president
The mention of Andrew Carnegie as
an example of philanthropy was also
in bad form on the part of the chan

is practically an erection of monu-
ments throughout the country to the
memory of the steel magnate. The
chancellor also referred to John D.
Rockefeller in comparing the Univer-
sity of Chicago with Oxford university,
England, and commended the munif-
cence of the endowment of the former
by Mr.. Rockefeller.
The chancellor is representing the
small, struggling and comparatively
poor college, of which he is the head,
and which is supported in large mea-
sure by the mites of the poor. He
lauds the liberality of such men as
Carnegie and Rockefeller, the major
part of whose wealth represents gain
wrenched from the pockets of the poor
by the steel and Standard Oil trust.
The argument is Iudicrous in the ex-
treme. Give US your mites, o, ye poor,
because men of prOdigious wealth have
given munificently of their abundance
flched from the pockets of both rich
and poor.

1t Is a peculiar circumstance brought
out IN the SchIey court Of inquiry that
the commander Of the Marblehead, the
Dupont. the Iowa, SIMPSONS chief Of
staff and Sampson himself should have
full knowledge Of the MeCalIa code,
arranged to communicate with the
Cubans at Cienfuegos, and that Schley
commanding thefying squadron which
was cruising of that port should not
be put In possession Of the code. One
other curious fact crops out. Sampson
in transmitting the departments pre-
emptory order toSsail to Santiago, in
effect, discounted the order, leaving
Schley in doubt as to the whereabouts
of Cevera's feet; and that dipatch
boats and naval scout vessels bringing
dispatches to the fleet at Santiago
should deliver them to subordinate
officers instead of Schley himself Tt
has the APPEARANCE Of a disposition to
ignore and snub Schley and to handi-
cap him as much as possible in his
search for the Spanish feet. This is
about the way it looks to a man up a
tree.

William Allen White, rampant re-
publican and close friend of Roosevelt,
puts it this way: "We are reaping the
whirlwind! The greedy disregard of
the law of kindness which is the great
unwritten law of America, the greed
which turned American miners and
mill hands and machinists out of doors
to starve OF come west, the greed that
violated the golden rule because it was
not on the statutes, is finding today
in the rise of anarchy the natural and
inevitable harvest of its sowing"

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE,

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACES.
The keenest interest is taken by the
public in the race between the Col
umbis and Shamrock II. In the pre-
liminary but unfinished race of last
Thursday the Columbia showed her
superiority over the Shamrock and in
Saturdays race she again demonstrate
ed her ability to defend the cup, even
where circumstances were decidedly
favorable to the Shamrock. Her tri-
umph thus far is an occasion for re-
joicing by Americans, and of enagrin
and disappointment on the part of the
English.
Tuesdays race was declared off be-
cause it was not possible to finish with
in the time limit, but at the turn of the
yachts on the second leg of the triangle
the Shamrock II was three minutes
ahead. It appears that the English
boat likes a smooth sea and q fresh
wind best, while the Columbia takes
kindly to g rough sea and a stiff wind.
With g smooth sea and a f1uky wind,
flaws may favor one boat to the disad-
vantage Of the other yacht.
One remarkable incident of Tues
days race was the presence on the
scene of the old schooner yacht, Amer
lea, which lifted the cup 90 years ago
in 8 sail around the Isle Of Wright.
Ever since that time, August %, 1851,
America has held the cup, which is a
very remarkable record and intensiies
the interest taken in the race now
pending.
Americans hope and believe that the
Coiumbia viii win IN the series of
races On the programme, the best three

circumstance or accident should hap
pen Ever since the days Of Paul
jones the American sailor has shown

ing vessels. Whatever the outcome

is the title of a neat little volume just
out In it are all the speeches made
at the banquet of the club in Topeka,
January %, with one exception. Gov.
Stanley's speech was cut out at his
request. The governors subject was
"Forty Years in Kansas" This para
graph about his speech appears in the
volume referred to: "Gov. Stanley
closed the programme with a short
reminiscent talk on the states history,
with striking reference to important
features of its development since 1861
His remarks were impromptu." The
governors speech Jared the banquet
ers, and they didn't quit talking about
it for a month. He told about how be
and John Brown slept on the prairie
under the same blanket, something
like ten years after Browns death. He
told several other yarns like that and
as the governor was known to be g
total abstainer, the audience couldn't
understand it. The next day the gov
ernor told the reporters that he was
letting off a bit of humor- Perhaps
the governor was afraid to risk his
jokes in black and white without g
diagram, and there wasn't room in the
book for a diagram necessary to bring
out the points clearly.-Kansas Notes

the presidents who survived their
terms lived on an average 13 years; for
the last half, nine years. If Mr.. ROose-
velt attains the average age of the pre-

should choose to continue in politics
after the expiration of his term he
