The Vitality CT a Turtle.

Almost alone among Gods creatures,
the turtle has but single enemy-man.
1t does not seem to matter to the turtle
whether he stays beneath the surface for
an hour or week, nor does it trouble
him to spend an equal time on land if
the need arises. He is neither fish, flesh
nor fowl. yet his flesh partakes of the
chara cteristics of all three. Eating seems
mere superiority with him, since for
weeks at time he may be headed up in
barrel with the bung OUT, and emerge
after his long fast apparently none the
worse for his enforced abstinence from
food, from light and almost from air
And finally it may truly be said that of
all the higher, warm-blOoded organisms,
there are none so tenacious of life as the
turtle. l can truly say that | have seen
the flesh cleared out of Il turtle shell and
hung upon tree, where for hours the
qulveTlng, conyulsive movements of the
muscles went on. Not only SO, but on

mate was two fingers short; the edges
of the turtles jaws had taken them off
clean with only the muscular power re-
naming IN the head. Signor Redi once
cut turtles head off and noted that it
lived for twenty-three days without a
head. and another whose brain he re-
moved lived for six months apparently
unconscious that it had suffered any loss.

ly old-time effect. This has a basque
basques are certainly coming in-point-
ing a little in front. The bodice fits
snugly and has two shirred fiat puffs,
perhaps an inch wide, on either side of
the front. These puffs are carried down
the front of the skirt ALSO separating a
little toward the lower part to show
shirred chiffon. Around the back of the
skirt is set on something in the nature
of what many years ago was called Il
French founce, this gathered in groups
Of shirrings. The shoulders to the gown
are made very broad by big folds of silk
set on capelike and extending out over
the sleeves. These are finished with
heavy point venise lace in white. There
is a tiny yoke of shirred chiffon showing
on the shoulders, strapped with velvet
ribbon, and this ribbon also finishes the

Among the simplest of number of
beautiful French gowns is one of dark
blue taffeta-a soft silk, with small figures
i'll the weave. The bodice is nearly mid
den by capes of embroidered white ba-
tlste, and the yoke is made of narrow
rows of Valenciennes lace. 1t is a very
short yoke, buttoned in front with tiny
pearl buttons. There is no stock, but Il
little turnover collar of the batiste edged
with narrow Val" lace The batiste
cape is double, extending from the yoke
well below the shoulder blades in the
back, and the lower part of the cape has
a yest-hke front to the waist line. There
Is a crush belt Of the material set with
small bows of the dark blue, with a touch
of pale green silk, and there is another
bow of the blue with the green at the bust
line on the cape. The cape fits smoothly
over the shoulders. The sleeves are full
and with deep. close-ftting cuffs, or it
may be said that the lower part of the
sleeve is close fitting and formed of the
insertions of Val" lace

Green Is to be a good color this year
and some of the smartest frocks are
seen in it. One of these is Il reseda
green silk, the waist showing Il quality
Of repousse. the new lace. This is let
into the bodice at Intervals around the
lower part, and carried up five or six
inches. The front of the bodice opens
over a fall of lace. The stock is formed
of bands of golden braid on either side
of a narrow pink-fowered ribbon. The
base of the stock is of cerise velvet, two
points showing the gold braid, ribbon,
and the ceriSe velvet on either side Of
the open front of the gown. This front
is outlined with buttonhole effects on
either side, loops of narrow gold braid
outlining small oyals Of the lowered rib
bon. The sleeves are of the lee-o'-mut-
ton variety, and Il frill of the lace falls
rom the back seam, from shoulder to
wrist. Set on either side of this open
seam, as we'll as on the bodice around
the inserts of lace, is soutache braid put
on to give the effect of false buttonholes,
the braid being the color of the gown.
1t gives a very pretty finish to the
bodice. The skirt is very full around the
lower edge, full shirred pieces being set
III at intervals about half way down its
length.

The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has discovered that the government
transport Dix is bar bound in the lower
harbor and has undertaken to have the
pilots get her TO sea at once Yester-
dey the Portland chamber got quite
busy and sent the following telegram
to the local pilots office: Seeing bar
reported smooth, can not you make
special efforts to get Dix out, in view of
general shipping interestg' The an.
swer to this remarkable message was
not given out, and 1t is probable the
Portland chamber win keen 1t to it.
self The Dix 1t will be recalled. is
bar bound because of her long trip
down the river from Portland. The trip
required 80 hours, and the delay was
sufficient to have caused the transport
to miss q fine bar, The Portland cham
ber was correct in noting that the bar
was smooth yesterday, but it neglected
to consult tide table. which would
have shown that the tide was not fav-
orable for the departure OF the vessel
The pilots can be depended to get the
Dix to sea just as soon as weather con-
ditions will permit, and they are fully
alive to the injury which her detention
will entail; but they do not purpose to
pile the vessel up on the sands at the
mouth of the river and she will not.
therefore, get to sea for some days to
come 1t was pertinently suggested
yesterday that the Portland chamber
hereafter devote its attention 10 urging |
Its star river pilot to hasten the. river
