walked back between the files. After
the inspection, guns were stacked, and
the Americans and English entered the
White House for the reception.
President Roosevelt appeared to en-
joy the opportunity to have a look at
the soldiers who form a part OF the
household guard of King Edward. But
the manual OF arms ana foot movement
of the red coats were too much for him.
He could not comprehend what the
commands meant even when he could
understand the words of Adjutant Bud
worth. He tried to note what was COM
ing next, but his efforts resulted in
failure. His brow knitted, and he gave
the closest possible attention, but the
difference between the American way of
handling men and the British way was
too great to be bridged in such short
time. He gave it up. About the only
time he knew what was about to hap
pen was when the buEler sounded the
salute to colors. His hat came of as
promptly as the caps of the few officers
who understood.
The Earl of Denbigh's way of walking
beside him while the inspection was pro-
ceeding also puzzled the President The
earl persisted in an effort to keep half
a pace TO the rear OF him, while the Pres
ident appeared to be determined to make
him keep up with him and in step.
The Honourables made a fine show.
They could not have done better II they
had been drilled every day for Just such
an occasion. They were smart in all
their movements and as accurate as auto
mata. which is something the Massachu-
sets Honorables did not try to be. They
were content to let their guests carry
away the honors in that field of en-
deavor.
The reception was held at the White
House at 4 O'Clock. The visitors passed
into the White House in the order Of
their rank and seniority. The commits
stoned officers were introduced to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, but the non
commissioned staff and other enlisted
men were not accorded the honor of in

cate that Count Cassini. Russian ambas-
sador. may be expected to return to this
country in the second week of Novem-
Der. He will be accompanied by his
niece, the Countess Cassini, who will be
the mistress of the embassy.
Since going to st. Petersburg to spend
his vacation there has been a persistent
rumor that the count would not retain
his post in Washington. Rumor went
so far as to announce as Count Cassini's

Said She Knew Him.

However the "masher" may annoy
women in other cities it isn't in blue
moon that he ventures to be imperti-
nent in Washington. However, he
does crop up occasionally, and he
cropped up one day, or evening rath-
er, last week in a Capitol Hill car.
When my eyes first fell upon him he
was sitting opposite very quiet look
ing young woman and annoying her

like a gentleman, but he obviously
fancied himself tremendously in that
suit of clothes. AS the car filled up
he left his seat and stood directly in
front of the young woman. making
his presence perfectly intolerable. The
young woman flushed painfully, and
endured in silence for moment.
Then she looked straight up at him.
Don't you know me?" he asked, un-
der his breath. The girl looked him
over for fraction of minute. Then
she said, in tones loud enough to be
heard all over the car: II didn't
know you in those clothes" she said
distinctly. You're the man who
takes our garbage away, aren't your"

USE FOR TATTooING.
It Serves for Identification OF Foreign

II would be up against it IL It were
not for the habit that large number
OF foreigners have Of tattoolng them
selves" said the cashier of one of the
Canton banks. Some of their sigma
lures may be all right, but for the
purpose of Identification, tattoo marks
and scars are much more convenient.
Most of the new arrivals start an ac-
count, and instead OF relying on their
signatures we use a modified Bertil-
lion system. We locate a certain
scar, which is described on our books,
and 1t is common thing to have
them come in and brush back their
hair or roll up sleeve as they enter
the door. We have but to glance at
them and at the Identification slip,
when we are sure that they are the
right persons. A scimiter Is a conf
mon mark but IL is scarcely in thI

Leathery turtles-which live in the
sea--have been reported weighing over
ton. This species is very rare, and
a curious circumstance is that only
large adults or very small baby indi-
yiduals have been .een. the turtles Of
all intermediate growths keeping out
OF view in the great ocean.
Swapping turtles are among the
fiercest creatures in the world. Their
first instinct on leaving the egg is to
open their mouths and bite at some
thing. They feed on almost anything,
but when in captivity they sometimes
refuse to eat, and have been known to
go a year without food, showing no
apparent Ill effects. One method
which they employ in capturing food
is interesting. A swapping turtle will
lie quietly at the bottom of a pond or
lake, looking like an old water-soaked
log with branch-its head and neck
sticking up at one end. From the
tip of the tongue, the creatures ex-
trudes two small ailments of a pinkish
color, which wriggle about and bear a
perfect resemblance to the small round
worms of which fishes are so fond.
Fishes are attracted by these, swim up
to grasp the squirming objects and are
engulfed in the cruel mouth of the
angler. Certain marine turtles have
long-fringed appendages on the head
and neck, which they wave about and
thus make to serve q similar purpose.
The edible terrapin has become very
scarce in places, so that thousands OF
them are kept and bred in enclosed
areas or "crawls" as they are called.
This species has great deal of curl
osity, and II often captured by being
attracted by some unusual sound.
The tortoise-shell of commerce is OBJ.

An UnIucky Year.

Is this to be generally unlucky
year? Superstitious people say it
cannot be otherwise, as there are no
fewer than three Fridays which fall
on the 18th of the month. One of
these ill-omened combinations hap.
pened last month and another awaits
us next week. the third following la
ter on, in November Last year only
once did Friday fall on 18th. and
that was in June, month whose
opening saw the conclusion of the war
and whose close brought the stunning
blow of the Kings illness and the
postponement of the coronation. What
are the odds, therefore, on the infiu-
ence that the combination of Fridays
and 13 may have on the year of grace

Marketing with a Barrel.

Boarding house keepers, with old
fashioned ideas, wAo used to run hous.

got hold of them. insist that they can
buy more cheaply at the big public
markets down town than they can any
where else. The chief obstacle with

two empty barrels in the market, for
which she pays 10 cents each. The
butcher she patronizes usually has
them ready for her. She goes very
early and makes the round of the
stalls, carrying her purchases as she
makes them to her barrels at the
butchers. His boy slows the pack.
ages away safely and ties a newspa.

10 o'clock her purchases are made and
she pays an expressman 25 cents
apiece to have the barrels delivered at
her house before o'clock in the after

ness of Harlem deliveries and takes
the barrels at reduced rate in consid.
alton of a regular job three times each
week. The clearinghouse keeper de.
clares that she saves at least SO out OF
every $40 that she would spend for the
same produce at retailers up town.
