AwkaFdIy as to Give Wrong
Impression.

Under the caption, 'The Art of Putting
Things" an English author has given some
very amusing examples of saying things in a
queer way. One of the most unfortunate
recorded attempts to escape from a CONVEX
sational difficulty was made by an East end
cura.e, who cultivated the friendship of
mechanics.
One day carpenter came to him and
said: Il have brought my boys likeness,
as you said you'd like to have it"
How good of you to remember" said
the curate. 'What capital likeness! How
is he?''
"Why, sir, don't you remember?" said
the carpenter. He's dead
"Oh, yes, of course know that" replied
the curate. 81 mean how's the man that
took the photograph"
A story is told OF young laborer who, on
his way to his days work, called at the
registrars office to register his fathers
death. When the official asked the date OF
the event, the son replied:
HE amt dead yet, but he'll be dead be
fore night, so l thought it would save me
another journey if you would put it down
now"
ooh, but that won't do at ALL" said the
registrar. Perhaps your father will live
till tomorrow"
well, I don't know, sir; the doctor say.
as he won't; and he knows what he hai
given him."

every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of the charges com
mitted to their care, but they also
minister to their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care of
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna aneverfailing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters from all over the
United States. a recommend recently
received from Catholic institution in
Detroit, Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir:-"The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Earyngi-
its, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she Is entirely cured. "

once acquired is everlasting,
The farmers and fishermen along
the bay shores ate terrapin because
it was economical to do so. The
crop was so valueless that they
would not take the trouble to gather
any more than was sufficient for the
use of their own families during the
season. Naturally they would ex-
Pect their slaves to take to the same
kind of food, but the slaves were
right out in open rebellion against
terrapin. They were docile enough
and endured all sorts of hardships,
and injustices, but when it came to
terrapin for a steady diet they de-
clared they could not stand it. Con-
sequently the law was enacted limit
ing the amount of that sort of food
for the slaves. But, beginning with

No Need to Adjourn.

A story that suggests Sydney
Smiths mot, that the British army
ought never to leave England except
in case of actual invasion, comes from
a southern state. The legislature OF
that state were tardy in adjourning
last year, although there seemed to
be no important business under con-
sidera ton.
Judge" Jones, one of the legisla-
tors, was met by a friend in the
street one hot morning. and the two
stopped to talk under an awning.
'Goin' to clear out pretty soon,

statesman, hopping his brow.

''Why don't they wind up, then?"
''Well, that's just the trouble.

motion to adjourn would be in or

HORSES IN THEIR KNApsACKS.
LawtOn's Cavalry Were Provided
Against Any Sort of Expedi-
ton or Privatfon.

a well-known Boston lecturer, Peter Mac
Queen, has seen military service in more
than one campaign, having been with Roose-
welt at Santiago and with Lawton in the
Philippines. He is an enthusiastic admirer
of the regular army private, whose sense
of humor, he declares, is unfailing. The
following is ore of his favorite stories:
"In the last expedition Gen. Lawton made
against Santa Cruz two regiments, the
Fourth cavalry and an Idaho regiment,
were sent up the Laguna de Bay in native
boats. In the darkness two regiments ran
into one another and great confusion re-
suited
What farmer outfit are you?' yelled the
Idaho boys, derisively, at the clumsy cav

airy, rafting their cans of salt horse

of the house before opening the door.
Each terrapin sticks his head out of
the straw to see what the noise is
about. They have very acute hear
ing and manifest great curiosity
whenever any unusual noises are
heard. Down south they are lured
to destruction by this trait. A fish
erman rowing over the mud banks
raps on TIE side of his boat. Water
carries the sound, and the terrapin
comes to the surface to see what
made that noise, and the fisherman
very promptly satisfies the curiosity
of the inquirer.
The Officials of the fish commits
sion do not believe that the terrapin
will become extinct so long as
systematic farming is carried on,
but they believe that this industry
should be increased very largely.
Washington and Lafayette, Corn
Wallis ana Tarleton knew the quality
OF terraf~n stew, but they ate it
sometimes for want of something
better, and not as luxury. Ter
raPln stew was one of the hardshins
OF their military environments oc-
cas1onally. There was at one time
law In Maryland providing that a
man should feed only so much ter
rapin to his slaves, for even the
slaves rebelled against such a diet.
And, for that matter, no civilized
white man really likes terrapin when
ne hrst eats it, but acquires the
taste because it is fashionable and
expensive, and because everybody

Terrapin farming-that is, the
''planting'' of terrapin as it would be
known in oyster terminology-is not
by any means new. About twenty
five years ago a man of the name of
Dorlin established a terrapin pound
just below Mobile where he kept
young terrapin for growth, and
terrapin from the egg. The report
of the fish commission, however,
denies that he did any breeding. The
Dorlin terrapin farm was destroyed
by one of the terrific Gulf storms,
and was never reestablished.
Every year there is scare
throughout the eastern country, par
ticularly in New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, over the
likelihood of the disappearance OF ter
rapin. Last year the report was
spread at the beginning of the fall
and winter season, and the wealthy
were obliged to pay enormous prices.
They were the more anxious to have
terrapin at any price, because deal
ers said that another winter might
come and no terrapin would be served.
The report again went all over
this section late the past summer
when the farmers and fishermen OF
Maryland and Virginia were impound-
ing terrapin for the coming winter
trade. All along the shores of Ches-
apeake bay supplies of terrapin are
being collected for the market of the
immediate future. There are laws
against impounding terrapin, but
they are ignored.
Although there is no sale for ter
rapin until snow flies, which is about
Christmas time, the farmers of the
states contiguous to the bay are con-
stantly on the lookout for stray ter
rapin, which they pick up and take
home, where they hold them for the
season. They do not fatten them.
On the contrary they seldom feed
them. Terrapin hibernate. When
he has had his spring or summer
feed he can be put in pen or barn
and left for two or three months.
He will not die. A Baltimore dealer
nailed one in a box and left him
there for three mouths, at the end of
which time he claimed that the cap
tive weighed one ounce more than
he did when he was imprisoned. This
story is one which is we'll verified,
and there are other tales of terrapin
longevity, which are regarded by
some as of less credulity. Scientists
all admit, however, that the terrapin
is alternating amphibian.
In the neighborhood of Chinco-
teaque island, near the eastern shore
of Maryland, in Chesapeake bay,
there are several houses where from
200 to 1000 terrapin are stored in
straw in good seasons. They are
very curious looking fellows of all
sizes and are a sight to behold

was tried before the court; verdict in
favor of the appellant.
The mandamus case of Carney g.
Pendergast VS.. E. z. Tower, Clerk of
the Circuit Court, was heard in cham
bers Tuesday evening by Judge Stake.
This case grew out of the recent act
of the Legislature prohibiting the
sale of liquors at any point in Elec-

porate limits of Oakland. The petit
tioners applied to the clerk for a
license to sell spirituous and ferment-
ed liquors at Hutton but the clerk,
being restrained by said act from issu-

license. The case was argued by Mr..
Ferdinand Williams, of Cumberland,

court reserved its decision.
