The Poor Little Fellow.

The street Arab lives by his wits, IL
he lives at all well. Two youngsters
who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly.
One of these boys is much larger than
the other, and q crowd was attracted
TO the corner Of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummellng the little boy. At the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded by
sympathetic onlookers. Several per-
sons, plying the poor little fellow"
gave him nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that the poor lit.
tie fellow" was in league with his sup
posed tormentor. No sooner had the
crowd dispersed than the big boy came
along for his divvy. The scene was re-
peated several times, always with the
same result.-Philadelphi Times.

out of well from n depth OF 141 feet.
And equally strange things are found
among the plants and vegetables. A
well known student of nature once
tried the growing force of squash.
When It was eighteen days old and
measured twenty-seven inches In cir
cumfercnce. he fixed a sort of harness
around II, with long lever attached.
The power of the squash was measur-
ed by the weight II lifted, the weight
being fixed to the lever When II was
twenty days old, two days after the
harness was fixed on II. It lifted sixty
pounds. On the nineteenth day 1t lift
ed 5000 pounds.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPlN.
Formerly Despised. They Are Now

Half n century or so ago diamond

that they must not he compelled to eat

cious of all meats.
or course this means genuine da-
mond backs. There a.e many imita-
tlons.
Every first class restaurant Ia the
country features "terrapln a la Mary
land" on its menu. but in not one case
out of a hundred is the real terrapin
served The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Maryland's
choicest dish. Instead he Is merely
eating fresh water turtles, 'sliders" or
"North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
ceed 25,O00 of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or St.
Louis must either come east or forego
the joys of terrapin.
To select real diamond back anna
teurs should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t is of n greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides Of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is Of whitish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentrlc streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those of the fe-
male.

Much Ado About nm as.

The printing Of the Bible Is the most
strictly guarded work In existence n
fact which appears strange until we
reflect on the mischief an inaccurate
Bible might bring about. The kings
printers and the two universities of
oxford and Cambridge give to the
world nll the Bibles printed in the
United Kingdom except some printed
by special license. A few years ago
the question arose whether the word
spirit in Matthew lv, 1, and Mark /,
10, should have n capital "S," it having
been previously printed with small
one, and, although the word was obvl-
ously wrongly printed. 1t was not until
after the ruling powers at the universi-
ties and the kings printers had met in
solemn council that leave was given to
use the capital letter.
Nothing sanctioned by authority In
1911 may be changed without creating
something akin to revolution in the
places where Bibles are printed.-IIiv-

All the great families of living things
have dominant sense. We lead our
life by sight and make artificial lights
to render darkness tolerable. But the
creature whom next to ourselves we
prefer. the dog, lives in very different
universe. His dominant sense, like that
of many other quadrupeds. is the very
one we most neglect, the sense of smell.
The dog will track his master, never
lifting up his head to search the dis
lance; often with hair falling over his
eyes he follows on, not troubling him
