Turtles Tenacious of Life.

Turtles Tenacious of Life.
The way cats cling to their, proverbial
nine lives is we'll known, but the aver
age turtle will make tougher stand
than nine ordinary cats. Perhaps boil
Ing will kill a: turtle at once, but any
other method seems hopeless, ,,.
The severed head Of swapping tur-
tie will bite for an hour after separa.
ton from the body. But more wonder
full is the Indifference st the green tur-
tie Of the West Indies to mutilation.
A party Of naturalists lately returned
give an account of an experience which
proves beyond doubt that the. green
turtles Indifference does not lie in its
head. = III S>!s~
A green turtle found on the beach
turned and made for the water. One
of the party severed it's head with an
ak and turned the body around. The
headless turtle ran, then stopped and
turned toward the water again.

Me1ha In a TemnAe

When Nine. Melba first tasted the
sweets Of fashionable life a Boston
woman Of fashion captured her for a
dinner. The Boston woman loaded her
guest with attentions, and after the
dinner she said to Melba, you will
give us little song tonight, dear Nine.
Melba?" But the. songstress refused.
The Boston woman pleaded and said
petulantly: Il am quite sure my guests
will be disappointed. Really you are
quite unkind." This Infatuated the
high spirited singer, and she answered:
my terms as dinner entertainer are
$1,000. You may see my manager II
you want me to sing for your guests. !"
Then Melba got her wraps and went
away in q frenzy Of anger.

Yafa is little town that was many

Turks It was to Yafa that Hiram,
king Of Tyre, sent the cedar wood ''in

to Jerusalem for Solomon's temple.
Jonah sailed from this little town to
Tarshish when fleeing from the face of
the Lord. 1t was in Yafa that. the

to life by Peter. To this shore. the
great Richard Ceur de Lion swan,

a memory Of his cruelty here by: his
massacre of several thousand prisoners
and the poisoning Of some persons at
ficted with the plague. Simon the tan
ner's house, where Peter learned that
all nations were acceptable before
God, is one Of the few sights to be
seen in Yafa.: In the courtyard there

One Of our great American po-
+ cts, who writes throbbingly on the
problems Of life, putting a large,
broad-shot1ldered problem in every
line, and a loud, wheeling yearn at
the end Of each stanza, made the
statement the other day that we in
this country are getting so that we
have fads in literature and books,
just the same as we have in boots,
bonnets or smoking tobacco. AS a
general rule, I do not like to pin my
faith to what poet says. Poetry
is a pretty thing to read, but you
cannot always depend upon it as a
source of information. The aver
age poet has such "a boisterous and
maroon-colored imagination that
you must make more or less allow
ance for what he says. But when
this poet says that we have acquired
: fads in literature and in books,
agree with him.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO TURKEY.
Minister Leishman Says They Have
 Behaved Most Admirably.

Washington, May 2s.--Minister Leish- man at Constantinople, in reporting to the state department on the outrages com mitted by the Bulgarian element at Sa- lonica, pays a high tribute to the Turkish authorities, saying:
 They have behaved most admirably and held the Mussulman population in check and prevented them from retallat- ing for the many outrages committed by the Christian population but if the in- discriminate shooting and dynamite ex- plosions continue it may be difficult to prevent reprisals which might lead to wholesale massacres."
 The minister adds that extra preeau- tions are being taken everywhere to pre- vent surprises and quel any outbreak, although this has involved the massing of 10000 troops from the disturbed dis trfct, and imposed strain on the Turkish treasury. A curious drawing attached to the report exhibits the details of the plan for the destruction of the Ottoman bank and other public buildings In Salon. lea.
