In moist places In the fields and
meadows may be found the wood tor

or reddish brown color above, the shel.

the shell underneath has a black
blotch.
In mud holes and In small ponds, Of

water. one may almost always find the
painted turtle, which has the margin
Of the shell marked red, while the shell
underneath Is yellow. These turtles
are not 20 easily captured ms the wood
turtles. for they are rather timld and
often slip into the water when APP
preached. but with patience and in
gcnuity they can be outwltted at last
and one secured for examination.
It will be rare good fortune TO fnd a
turtle at a meal and see him hold his
food. sometimes with one fore foot,
sometimes with the other. but never
with hsth at once, ms cats and dogs
often do.
After watching him for awhile try TO
find whether he always draws his tail
IN on the same side OF his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
nnd over; then sometimes try other tur-
ties 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 lmag-
inc. II all the animals and plants OF
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change In
the living world.
Count the toes on tile fore feet and
on the hind feet. noticing whether
there are the same number all around.

people. Notice also that some turtles
have wehbcd feet, TO enable them to
swim the better.
Manage in some way TO open the tur-
Ties mouth and find whether Il has
teeth or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with a small stick and
see the turtle draw n thin skin over
them. This Ia the third eyelid. the same
as Ia hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW

that they are scaly also. In this mat

Crossing the Feet.

Physical culturists say that the prac-
tice of sitting with the legs OF. even the
feet crossed is bad one and has more
to do with cold feet than most persons
imagine. 1t has this result principally
through impeding the circulation of the
blood in the leg that is crossed over
the other The femoral veins are
cramped with the consequence that the
blood is damned back into the feet and
above the knee, inducing as we'll as
cold feet a varicose condition in the
veins of the calves. Another reason
why the habit should be discouraged is
the fact that on general physiological
principles it is healthier to sit squarely
with both feet resting upon the floor,
whereas with the legs crossed the
weight of the body is thrown almost
wholly to one side or the other. o3'

Patti and William 4.

The story Of Adelina PATHS first en-
counter with Emperor William I. is
worth repeating 1t was at Homburg
that the meeting took place, and the
diva was then quite young girl. On
the evening of the same day an invi-
tation came to her and her father to
meet his imperial majesty next morn
ing at the springs at o'clock.
II get up at that hour" cried the
spoiled child, ito please any emperor:
No, no! I wouldn't think of it! Tell
him 500
William l., ever good natured, laugh
ed heartily over her ultimatum, which
greatly amused him. The last time
his majesty saw Patti was in Berlin,
and he was, then a dying man. When
she called upon him at his box he well
coined her with his most genial smile.
"Ah,'' he said, "you remember Hon
burg? But you don't mind waiting
upon me now"

The Naval Academy.

The line officers of the navy are ar
ranged in one straight line from adj
miral to the lowest midshipman. After
they are graduated from the academy,
in order to merit their respective
classes their relative positions never
change except when advancement in
numbers for special heroism is earned
in war or court martial DEGREES the
reverse. If boy loses place in his
class, he loses place in the ladder of
promotion. Whether he is graduated
at the top or bottom of his class may
determine whether or not he shall
reach an admiraPs stars. In no other
calling does boys college standing
thus directly influence the success OF
his entire professional career.--Inde-
