The Train Baa.

Apropos of the season OF the year.
when everybody is on the wing, the
shops, are showing many accessories
which cater to comfortable and en-
joyable travelling. One of the most
fastidious things in leather is the
train bag" which is equipped with
most elaborate attention to luxurious
details. Closed. the shape is almost
square and rather fiat. The lids open
outward and disclose the entire con-
tents. There is a little tray covered
with chamois, and into this all the
smaller articles. such as pin box. two
small glass bottles. tooth brush
bottle, soap box, brush. comb. ETC.. are
fitted. The tray has a nickle handle
on one side and shoves into COM
partment under the bottom of the lag,
which the bag proper is a mirror al
one side, and on the other all the
little manicuring necessities, such as
scissors, file, etc, mounted in mother
of pearl.

SOME suRvIvALs OF FASHION.

Man is unquestionably highly ra-
tional being. Still, If you travel and
observe. from the mouth of the Dan
ube to the Golden Gate, you will find
NEST men wearing coat with a use
less collar marked with useless W
shaped slash, and decorated with two
useless buttons at the small of the
back, and one or more useless buttons
at the cuffs. The collar, the slash, and
the buttons are there in answer to no
rational need; 1t is not a common
climate nor a common racial need of
protection against climate that they
represent, but a common civilization
whose form and ritual they mutely con-
fess. Over this entire area those who
aspire to be of the Brahmin caste
deck their heads for wedding, funeral
and feast with black cylindrical COW
ering, suited, so far as we can discern,
neither to avert the weapon of the
adversary or the dart of the rain, nor
to provide seat whereon man may sit
and rest himself. And as for the wo-
men contained within this same area
we behold that the amplitude of the
sleeve, the disposition of the belt, and
the outline of the skirt all obey the
rise and fall of one resistless tide which
neither moon nor seasons control

NOVELS A CAUSE OF DIVORCE.

Much of this evil of divorce is due
due to the great flood of corrupt litera-
ture thrust into the hands of the
young. This poisonous food for heart
and head is fatal preparation for the
day of infidelity, distrust and final sep
aration. Our modern novels are full
of the presentation of false ideals, and
sible. The world never saw such
men and such women, nor such condi-
tions and such results. The young
man and young woman who finally
ended the wreck of their matrimonial
fabric in the divorce court both fed
their souls upon this food and from
the hand of scoffing fiction writer's and
scribes of the new school of skep-
ticism. The false notions of marriage
are plausibly presented, and difficulty
and all the domestic OBSTACLES are
easily overcome. Virtue is not a ne
cessity, and truth, on the whole, is not,
as good as lie, All this is literxrure.

and completely units thousands of
young men and women for the real and

comes to chaos and the life to disap-

on about a rescue which never APP

to be an expensive falsehood. Better

pounds, through which most OF the
eastern trade is supplied. Formerly
terrapin held for market we're kept in
boxes and barrels until the time for
shipment, but they usually became
very poor, and many died. One win
ter Crisfield dealer had hundreds of
them stored in vacant house, and
during the cold weather nearly half of
them froze. This suggested the idea
of keeping them in their native ele-
ment, and pounds were constructed
for this purpose. These are simply
sections of water so inclosed that the
terrapin cannot escape. A large tract
of marsh land is surrounded by a high
board fence, extending from two to
three feet into the mud. The interior
is then divided into a number of COM
partments containing the terrapin in
order of their size. Then ponds and
canals are dug, so that the tides can
have free sweep through the pounds,
and wire netting is used to prevent
the terrapin from swimming from one
compartment to another
Finally large sand beds are con-
structed, where the females may lay
their eggs to be Matched by the heat
of the sun. These beds are frequently
examined, and the young terrapin are
removed. The young, when first
Matched, are perfectly soft, and it
takes a number of days for the shell
to harden. 1t is stated that the newly
Matched terrapin will not come out of
the sand at all during the first season
If left to its own inclination. One
dealer now has a large box filled with
young which were Matched in his
pound last summer. The terrapin in
the pounds are fed regularly on hard
shell crabs and seem to get along
very WELL
Catching terrapin for market was
once more or less followed as a bust
ness all along the bay shores, but it
is now practically an Incidental of the
waterman's life, as the scarcity of
the game makes the hunt Improbable.
1t is considered a great piece of luck
at present to find diamond back or
two snuggled down in the mud.
Dredging for them with drags some
what resembling the crab net was
lucrative at one time, but is now al
most forgotten. The few found are
taken in different way.
Hunting the Diamond Back.
The diamond back hunter goes out
on the marshes with a slender iron
bar, or prod" which he sticks down
at intervals of about inches in spots
which look to him as though likely to
hide the prey. Early in the fall the
terrapin go to the marshes and bury
themselves in the soft mud to the
depth of a foot or more. Many sink
in the mud at the bottom of a musk
rat run. Others select some retired
pond and disappear from sight in its
ooze. In these places the "prodder"
hunts, usually after the first winter
thaw of ice. The terrapin then seem
to rise almost to the top of the mud
and sink again, leaving a distinct de-
preston as it settles back in place.
When struck with the blunt end of
the iron prod the hunter pulls the
quarry out with little hook in one
end of the bar. Sometimes a piece of
wood is struck with the rod. The

novice is unable to distinguish be-
tween the sound made upon the
wood and the ring of a terrapin's back,
but to the experienced hunter it is
quite different, and he seldom makes
mistakes. TIE old hunters say that
the terrapin never hibernates in deep
water, but always seeks the shadows
or the marshes in which to bury for
the winter.
A Fortune In Supplies.
In collecting terrapin enough for a
shipment the reptiles are sometimes
kept for several weeks out of their
native element. They are usually
stored in a dry and temperate room
or box until ready TO be sent to mar
ket.
The desultory collector or one not
regularly in business usually ships his
terapin to market in small lots soon
after securing them, and they are kept
in the storage houses of city dealers
until wanted. They are usually placed
in a dry room or large box AMI left to
shift for themselves. One local dealer
states that his firm has had $4,000
worth on hand at time, but that
hasn't been within the last 10 years"
he added. The bay shore collectors
and dealers usually come to the city
about November to arrange fer
marketing the seasons supply.
The scarcity of the genuine article
and the regular demand for it have,
of course, led to the use of substi
tutes, some of which are sold and
bought in good faith, while frequently
the substitute masquerades on the
banquet board as the highly priced
diamond-back.
Some of the Substitutes.
One of the most frequently used of
these pseudo diamond-backs is the
Biloxi terrapin, so called because it
comes principally from the marshes
and bayous of the Gulf near Biloxi,
Miss. The golden" also often takes
the place of its more aristocratic rel
alive at stately functions. a.any
golden come from the west. The meat
of these plebian cousins of the lordly
diamond back is not as dark, but only
to the educated taste is much different
from the real luxury, The golden ami
Biloxi articles are also increasing in
value as the demand for them grows.
and those of good size and other
marketable attachments sometimes
reach as high as s25 dozen.
With the passing of the diamond
back the business of developing
"sliders" and 'red-belly" terrapin for
market has begun in some sections of
the eastern shore. The Slider" often
attain large proportions, weighing as
much as 20 pounds or more. The red
belly" is smaller species. The larger
variety occasionally sells for as high
as $3.50 apiece, though the average
price is from IS cents to $3.50 The
smaller variety sells for from rs cents
to $1.50 a dozen.
These terrapin bury in the mud
from 3 to feet deep, and, like the
diamond-back, are found by sounding
with a stick and pulled out with a
hook. The female. before she de-
posits her eggs, is most sought after
as the numerous eggs add greatly to
the richness of the prepared dish. The
female terranip denosits hor eoos.
