NEW ORLEANS, Dec. PA boom in
turkeys is reported from Texas, as a result
of the boil weevil plague, and that State

produce from three to four times as many
turkeys as heretofore. The shipment
from Giddings amounts to 5000 turkeys.

the stalk during the season of greatest
activity among the insects Then the boil

nation Of birds in Texas is claimed by

increase Of the weevil nuisance, The turkey

THE TACTFUL WOMAN.
Governs Herself According to the
Temper of Her Liege Lord,
and Is Happy.

The most important quarter of an
hour of mans day is that immediate
ly following his entrance into the house
after his days work. A word at that
time may put him in temper for the
whole evening or the reverse, SAYS
American Queen.
The observant wife or daughter soon
learns this and governs herself accord
ingly. The average man comes home
tired with the hard work of business
veXations of the day and he feels en-
tirely at liberty to behave in any way
he sees fit in his own house. The tact
full woman waits until she knows the
state of his temper before making any
definite move ON her own part. She
doesn't do much talking of any sort
just then, but she hurries the evening
repast. She knows very well that a
torrent of conversation on an empty
stomach will rouse all his old Adam, so
she just keeps that plumbers bill and
all the important things she has to tell
him till after he has relaxed, rested
and expanded with good, comforta bic
meal.
The woman who follows this course
generally finds her home happier and
her husbands company more enjoy
able than she who thoughtlessly does
her talking before feeding her hungry
and tired breadwinner.

Something About Jelly Fish.

The bay of Naples, Italy, abounds
in dusea, or jellyfsh, often growing
as large as two feet in diameter and
weighing so or 60 pounds. Some of
them shine at night with a greenish
light, and are known as "noctiluca"
(night lanterns) by the natives. The
jellyfish sometimes move in great
groups, sometimes so large and so
thick as to nearly stop the course
of vessels, like the floating plants
in the sargasso sea of the tropics.
The shoals of jellyfish are sometimes
so dense that a piece of timber
plunged in among them will be held
upright, as if stuck in the mud and
ordinary rowboats cannot force their
way among them. The reason for
their moving about has never been
explained; they are irregular, and
occur at no particular season of the
year and under no particular influ-
ence.-Brooklyn Eagle.
