A Green Turtle Farm.

[From the Royal Magazine.1
In these go ahead days we are getting
accustomed to municipal enterprise In
aim ost every shape and form, but 1T is
not generally known that among the
various enterprises worked by the Brit
ish government is that of turtle farm
ing, carried IN at Ascension Island. The
island is specially suited for this pur-
pose. as, despite its close proximity to
the equator, the temperature liz low and
the atmosphere healthy on account of
the prevailing s~outheasterly trade
winds. anuary in each year sees the
beginning of the turtle season, which
does not, as a rule, last more than
Ascension Island are the property of
the crown. and are only sent to Eng
land and other places for disposal as
directed by the admiralty, in whose
hands the government of the whole is
land practically rests. The particular
visits Is the Caledonia yiridis." or green
turtle. This, as may be supposed, is
the turtle from whose green fat and
portion of the fins that particular
brands Of soup is made which is pro-
verbally associated with the banquets
of London's civic dignitaries. It is
wholly for its value as an edible CON :
monty that the turtle farms are carried
on, as the shell, unlike that of the tor
toise, is eff no commercial value.
To test the statement made about the
turtles habit of returning to the island
year after year, one was once thrown
overheard near Honolulu, with the date
and location of the throwing out IN the
back. Three years and two months af-
terward this turtle was turned up" at
Ascension, having Travelled over fifteen
thousand miles. More recently still an
other was thrown overheard in the Eng
iish channel, and was caught again at
Ascension within six months

MORE COMPLICATIONS.
France Is Preparing to Take . Fall
Out of Venezuela.

New York, Dec. 26.-Another compli-
cation has arisen between France and
Venezuela. says the Port of Spain,
Trinidad. correspondent of the Herald.
This new grievance arises from the
seizure of the properties of Senior Man
uel A. Matos, an alleged leader OF the
new Venezuelan revolution and a man
of wealth. Senior Matos leased part of
his properties to M Secrestat of Bor-
deaux, for two years, under the vene-
zuelan civil code, which permits such a
transaction to be effected without the
necessity of registering the docum ents.
By the seizure of the leased properties
President Castro has deprived M.
Secrostat of their evenu and use. The
French government has notified Presi-
dent Castro of the Infringement of M.
Secrestat's rights. France has made a
complete investigation of the matter
and it is claimed that the demand, even
under the Venezuelan law, is well
founded.

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

Why is the human animal so pre-
posterously short-lived?
Because it has heretofore used its
intelligence chiefly to enable 1T to ov-
erindulge it's grossest appetites. 1t
has acted like the half-grown child
that it is, greedy and thoughless, care
less of consequences, unable to see the
punishment for self-indulgence that
threatens just beyond the end of its
nose.
Do you wish to live long?
Then you must pay the price. You
must learn to sacrifice the desire OF the
moment for that which may produce
momentary inconvenience, but will
give ultimate permanent satisfaction.
You must especially learn not to re-
gard your stomach as ahuge grab-all
into which a greedy palate is permit
ted to thrust whatever quantities and
qualities it ignorantly chooses. You
must learn to let drugs alone, to re-
not tell you that there is no hope of
self by acting in a sane manner. You
must learn to treat your body as you
would treat your horse.
The worst of the mischief is done in
childhood.
How many mothers are there who
know anything about the bringing up
of children? Not many; more than
there used to be, but still not many.
The average mother is about as
learned in child-rearing as the aver
age child is in Greek. And she is re-
luctant to learn. She has few mis-
