Turtle Worship.

At place called Kotron. on the French
Ivory Coast, the natives believe that to
eat or destroy a turtle would mean death
10 the guilty one or sickness among the
family. The fetch men, of which there
are plenty, declare that years ago a man
went 10 sea fishing. In the night his ca
noe was thrown upon the beach empty
Three days afterward a turtle came
ashore at the same place with the man on
his back alive and well. Since that time
they have never eaten or destroyed one
of that species, although they enjoy an
other species. IL one happens now TO be
washed ashore there is a great commo-
tion In the town. Firstly. the women sit
down and start singing and beating
sticks; next a small piece OF white cloth
tcolor must be white) is placed on the
turtles back. Food is then prepared and
placed on the cloth, generally plantains,
rice and palm oil. Then, amid a lot OF
more singing, dancing and antics OF the
fetch people, IL Is carried back into the
sea and goes on its way rejoicing. Lon

PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
In New York Organized For the Bene-
fit Of Animals.

The gossips say that the earth is a
ball an that statement will do for q
mere hard fact. But ever since cleo
tricity girdled it, it has been to the
mental vision a vast plain, with an
extent of two hundred millions square
miles, from the very center of which
rises a high mountain from whose very
top the seer may daily observe the
whole.
With such an area for observation,
it would be strange if there were not
always something to report, and this
morning what especially catches our
eye is a point in the city of New York.
There lives in that city lady who is
not only a lover of animals, but will
ing to work and make personal sacri-
fices TO show her affection. So great
Las always been her sympathy with
horses especially, that, speaking in a
metaphorical sense common to poets
(and are not lovers and philanthro-
pists poets?) she laughingly declares
that she was born in stable"
This lady, Mrs. Myles Standish, hav-
ing country place in the Berkshire
Hills, was especially impressed by the
thoughtless and ill-instructed treat
ment of horses among the rich, and
casting about for some means of help
ing this, she was inspired to gather
some of the boys of the neigborhood
into her own stable and instruct them
in the needs and proper treatment of
these good friends of man.
The experiment was successful, and
as every idea with life in it may grow,
this small beginning became a move
ment IN New York, which has for its
aim the conversion to humane meth
ods OF thinking and acting, of the en-
tire generation.
This movement had nothing to do
with schools; it's FOUNDER and her help
ers may be said to have simply gone
into the streets, picked up the children
and organized them into an army of
workers under the name of "Our Ami
NAL Protective League" This army is
divided into chapters, of which the lat

such names as Tiger Chapter" !"

late, there is a "Deaf-Mutes Chapter" j"
Each chapter has a grown person to
lead it, so that 1t is thoroughly or
ganized. Indeed, in the Report it is
stated that Many thousands could at
once be added to the membership of
the League, but they could not yet be
taken care of or properly organize =,
In the meanwhile, the League seeks to
make every chapter member a respon-
sible, active and expert force in prac-
ticing and spreading kindness to ami
mails Every member, besides having
a thorough training in general humane
methods, the care of dogs, cats, etc, is
taught by actual demonstration all the
points of Harvesting, and is on the
alert for tight check-reins, improperly
adjusted harness, and badly shod or
overloaded horses, at the same time
seeking courteously to have the fault
remedied, without formally reporting
it, where possible"
Into this League are imported all
sorts of elements of interest. which
seem to make of each chapter real
Club; and within it are Baseball Club
with a number of teams; Glee Club
under the direction of Mr. Henry Bur-
leigh, Soloist at st. Georges; Scrap
Book Committee which pastes animals
pictures into books and presents them
to the children's hospitals. And there
is Swimming Club. A Field Club"
is to make nature studies in the coun-
try in summer outings.
Actually, the Chapters expect to
camp out for some weeks this summer!
This organization costs something.
Beside great deal of work, there was
expended for it last year over five
thousand, five hundred dollars.
Now, what have their promoters got
for their money? Practically a great,
growing, ramifying Society of Chill
dren, Society filled with interesting
pursuits and companionships, and
founded upon principle of loving
kindness to all living creatures.
These children are, according to the
proverb, the fathers land mothers) of
a very large number of the coming
man and women of New York. Are
they not certain to be real factor in
raising the grade OF its civilization?
Is there any city with population
too highly humanized to need this in
fiuence?
