TURTLE FLESH.
The abandonment of the Animals
Gives the Worst Meat.

The Handsomest of the Animals
Gives the Worst Meat.
No one really knows how large tur-
tie may grow, but certainly there does
not appear to be much If any exagger-
alton attached to the statements OF
PIiny and Strabo, who, describing the
chelonophagi of the Red sea, say that
they utilized the shells of the turtles
they had eaten as roofs to their hutS
and boats for their feeble voyages.
Strange to say, the handsomest tur-
tie, the hawks bill variety (Chelone I'M
bricata), furnishes the worst flesh. be-
ing SO strongly favored with musk as
to be almost uneatable. This peculiar
ity would seem to point to a diet Of
souid since these mollusca are exceed
ingly musky. But 1t may not be out or
place to remark here that turtle flesh,
even of the best sorts, is not nice, AS
Sam Weller's pieman hoarsely whis-
pered, Its the seasoning as does it."
A diet of turtle steaks or of hashed
turtle or of turtle soup, au naturel,
would soon sicken any one but saw
age. For sixpence or its equivalent In
most of the West India island towns
one can get n heaped plate of turtle
steak with bread or jams or sweet po-
tatoes ad lib. But / never knew even
a hungry sailor who wanted more than
one meal a week of 1t, for all its cheap
ness. The fact Is that in the cult of
turtle soup we are following "a long
way off, 1t is true) the example set by
the Chinese, who love gelatinous soups
and pay fabulous prices for the nests
of the sea swallows, the holothuria, or
sea slug, and the sharks fins because
Of their gelatinous qualities. = Frank

The Names of Tea.

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea
ETC., but few people have any idea OF
what these names signify.
"Pekoe" In the dialect Of Canton
means white hair" for the tea which
bears this name is made from the
youngest Of leaves, so young that the
white down is still on them.
''Soochong" in the same dialect Is a
quite unpoetic name; it merely signifies
''small kind"
"Flourishing spring" is the meaning
OF "Hyson."
Congo" signifies "labor." Much
trouble and toll are expended In its
preparation at Annoy, and these are
commemorated in its name.

The old Curiosity shop.

In a narrow out of the way section Of
Bloomsbury, in London, still stands the
original curiosity shop known the world
over as the home of Little Nell. The
quaint little building has been careful

ton conspicuously lettered on the wall
announces that this is the curiosity
shop ''immortalized by Charles Dick

No. 16.

In the meantime the securing had
been begun at the opera house. Mac
ready was greeted with groans and
Kisses. He tried TO address the audi
ence, but could not be heard fer the
din. Then came bombardment OF
missiles.
Copper cents were thrown" relates
Macready in his "Reminiscences"

great many apples. nearly IL not quite
n peck of potatoes, pieces of wood and
n bottle OF asafetida, which splashed
my dress, smelling. of course, most
horribly" So the first and second acts
passed. At last, during the third act,
a man In the gallery tore up chair
and sent 1t crashing on the stage. Mac
ready, however, went on with his
hurtling through the air he felt that
''he had discharged his obligations to
the managers of the theater," the cur
tain was rung down and the rioters
were left masters of the field.
These disgraceful proceedings were
unanimously condemned next day, and
Macready, acceding to request on the
part of prominent citizens, who assured
protection, reappeared as Macbeth two
nights later. The house was packed.
and crowds gathered outside the thea
ter Macready met with q mixed re-
ception, but no missiles were thrown.
At the end Of the first act some of the
offenders were elected from the house.
At this the mob outside became infu-
rated and began to lombard the thea
ter with loose paving stones. The win
dows and barred shutters were soon de-
molished, and great stones came crash
ing into the auditorium. One struck
the chandelier, while others broke some
water pipes, with the result that Mac
ready's dressing room was flooded.
Amid the uproar the intrepid Mac
beth went doggedly on with his per-
formance. Meanwhile the police, hav-
ing failed to quell the riot, the military
was called out, both infantry and cav
airy The cavalry, which arrived first
on the scene, was driven back by
volley of brickbats. The infantry, to
the number of 200, next advanced into
the square, which was In pitch dark
ness, as the rioters had extinguished
all the street lamps. They were greet
ed with shower of missiles. Several
were struck down, and finally In self
defense they had to fire on the crowd.
Many Of the rioters fell, and, though
the rest recoiled, they kept up run
ming fire of stones. Two brass pieces
loaded with grape were then brought
up and placed so as to command the
approaches of the opera house. No
further attack, however, was made by
the mob. In this riot no fewer than
seventeen lives were lost, while many
more were injured.
After the mob had retreated Mac
ready, partially disguised, made his
way from the theater to the home Of
a friend. The next morning he drove
to New Rochelle, whence he took a
train for Boston. Ten days later he
sailed for England In the Hibernia.

aueer Drunken Manin..

An English sheriff who died some
years since kept a record Of the curl
GUS cases of drunkenness that came
under his observation. Several habit
ual cases had developed odd manias.
One woman who had been arrested 167
times for drunkenness in twenty-eight
years, had mania for breaking win
dows when she was intoxicated An
old soldier, suffering from wound in
the head, always stole Bibles when he
was tipsy. Another man stole nothing
but spades, while one woman's fancy
ran to shawls and another's to shoes.
A man named Grubb was imprisoned
seven times for stealing tubs, although
there was nothing in his line of life to
make tubs particularly desirable to
him.

American colonies had made common

to find NJ. Roussillon. While she was
absent Oncle Jazon improved his op-
portunity to the fullest extent. At least
three additional glasses of the brandy
went the way of the first. He grinned
atrociously and smacked his corrugat-
ed lips, but when Gaspard Roussillon
came in the old man was sitting al
some distance from the bottle and
glass, gazing indifferently out across
the veranda. He told his story curtly

Weeds.

A weed is a plant that grows In
abundance out of desired limits. Any
plant may become weed by escaping
from cultivation. Many plants that
with us are highly esteemed in other
countries grow as weeds, while, on the
other hand, our weeds are in other
countries sometimes highly priced.
The correct use Of the word depends
altogether on circumstances.

Disking Land for Corn.

A correspondent writes us that hav-

growing. in Illinois without blowing

can safely disk the corn land list and
plant without the usual breaking.
Sometimes the lighter prairie soils are
prepared in this way and corn is plant
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land. This has been so,
however, in seasons following deep

light blank soils mixed with some
sand have been successfully grown to
corn by disking, rather than breaking
In wet spring seasons some risk is
taken even with these soils to plant
in this way. 1t is far safer TO break
the ground first and pulverize 1t for
corn. And the clay loan should be al

break them deeply. Disking heavy
soils and listing for planting would be

The Suoot Case.

The Republican leaders in the Sen
ate have turned the Smoot case into
roaring farce. OF course for politi-
cal reasons they never intended to act
on the matter until after election, and
so postponed the hearings from time
to time that there might be an excuse
for non-action before the adjournment
of Congress. The Smoot case is two
edged sword and difficult to handle
without injury to the Republican par
ty. To declare that Senator Smoot
has not committed any crime, or that
his allegiance to the Mormon Church
is not paramount to his oath of allegi-
ance to the United States would be to
antagonize a vast number of people
who have been petitioning the Senate
to declare his seat vacant On the
other hand, the Mormon Church is ali
powerful in some States, and holds the
balance of power in others, all of
which States are necessary for the
Republicans at the coming election.
That deal with the Mormon leaders
was entered into by the managers of
the last Republican campaign, and
that the Mormons delivered the
goods is pretty coIclusiyely proved
by the presence of Smoot in the Sen
ate. The good people who believe that
Senaor Smoot, if not a poiygamist, Sc
cretly favors It. and being one of the
twelve apostles. is obliged TO hold the
interests of Mormonism before all else,
should turn their attention to the cleo
ton of Republican Senators who pay
no attention to their petitions. The
terms of several Senators expire next
March, and the State Legislatures
elected this fall will select their sue
cessors. Nearly all of these favor the
retention Of Smoot and therefore have
favored postponing action until after
election
