POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
They Arc Not So Much Like One An
other as Many People Think.


In moist places in the fields and
meadows may be found the wood tor
toise. sober sort of turtle of DroWn
or reddish brown color above, the shell
having ridge in its middle along the
back. says Nature Study. Each plate OF
the shell underneath has n black
blotch.
In mud holes and in small ponds, Of
ten resting on log or stone above the
water. one may almost always hnd th5
painted turtle. which has the mars L
of the shell marked red. while the shell
underneath is ycilOT. These turtles
are not so easily captured rs the WOOD
turtles, for they are rather timid ana
often slip into the water when ap-
preached, but with patience ana III
genuity they can be outwitted at last
and one secured for examination.
II will be rare good fortune to find a
turtle Mt n meal and see him hold his
food, sometimes with one fore foot
sometimes with the other, but never
with both at once, as cats and dogs
often do.
After watching him for awhile try to
find whether he always draws bis tail
in on the same side Of his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over; then sometimes try other tur-
tles in the same way and find out for
| Yourself whether turtles vary in this
matter of hiding away their tails. This
is more important than you can mag
| inc. If all the animals and plants or
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change in
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same number all around.
AS YOU find other turtles, particularly
in different parts of the country, II you
travel about, or III such museums as
Won can visit see what differences you
can find in this matter Of the number
and arrangement Of turtles toes. 1t is
not so silly as it may appear to some
people. Notice also that some turtles
have webbed feet, to enable them 10
swim the better.
Manage in some way to open the tur-
ties mouth and find whether it has
teeth, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with small stick ard
see the turtle draw n thin skin over
them. This is the third eyelid, the same
as ir hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW
cred with scales; then some time exam
inc the foot of a hen or pigeon and sec
that they are scaly also. In this mat
ter of the third eyelid and the scales
the birds and the turtles have features
in common. Perhaps some time you
will learn how it happened and will
find it Il very interesting story.-New

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by Ono Bottle of Chsmb srlain's
Cough Remedy.

Cough Remedy.
"When I had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second time I
actually cured myself with one bot.
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy," says Frank w. Perry, Editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This Is the honest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself
to pieces by taking a teaspoontul
of this remedy, and when the cough
Ing spell would come on at night I
would take a dose and /: seemed
that In the briefest interval the
cough would pass eff and I would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as most
agreeable surprise Is putting 1t very
mildly. I had no idea that 1t would
or could knock oHt the grip, SIM
ply because I had never tried 1t for
such a purpose, but it did, and 1t
seemed with the second attack of
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be Of less duration, but
the pains wer far less severe. and
I had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by c. W. Grier.
