When Richard the Ldonhearted was rnortaIly
wounded in the attack on the castle OF Chaluz he
expressed a wish that his body should be buried
at The feet Of his father at Fontevraud, in token
OF HES sorrow for the trouble and anxiety which
he had formerly caused him. But he bequeathed

Several different methods OF covering the third

TERRAPIN TRAPS.
a New Device for DISCRIMINATING the
Diamond Back.

The terrapin hunters have adopted a new method
for catching terrapin and what few are left In
the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries will soon
be IN the terTapin pounds. The new device is a
trap constructed about the same principle as
eel pot The body OF tho trap is constructed
OF wire and the entrance OF Irvine. so woven that
the terTapins easily enter but find 1t impossible
to get out. The trap is then filled with bait. for
the most part crushed crabs and set in the marsh
where terrapIns have been located. The terrapin
hunter walks through tho marsh and discovers his
game by the protruding heads. as the terrapins
are compelled to to the surface TO breathe.
Many OF them drowned in these traps, and
ons hunter states that he has seen twenty-five
drowned in this manner last summer. a
terrapln cannot live IN one Of these traps
ever three hours. and thus the hunter must be

CATS CHARACTER.
1t Is Complex and Capable of Jealousy and
Revenge.

Another point in the complex character OF the
cat is her capacity for jealousy. There is never
jealousy without love. and this may be added to
the proofs of the cats capacity for affection so
strenuousy denied by superficial observers. have

She sprauS his back. fixed her claws In his

Felinity finds its complctcst expression In the
genuine English tile cat There is 10 my mind
nothing like the same attraction in the petted
Persians OF the parlor, beyond the fact that they
are cats OF a kind. Not having to endure tho
rough and tumble life, they lose their individuality
and their character just human beings do. They
love the cream pot more than the person who
cares for them. The darlings of the drawing ROOM

A NEST BUILDING FISH.

which these fishes closely resemble IN color and in
outline. They cling. too, TO the floating masses OF
sargassum weed with their pediculated fms. and
the color markings OF the fish closely resemble the
weed Itself. Not only does the weed thus furnish
a home for this species, but the fish actually
structs a nest from IT and therein deposits It's
eggs One of these nests, found in connection with
the Hassler expedition in 1871, described as
the size Of two fists, rolled up together. To all
appearances ii was made Of nothing but this gulf
weed, the branches and leaves of which were how
ever evidently knit together, and merely
tangled into a roundish mass; for, though some
or the leaves and branches hung loose from the
nest 1T became at once visible that the bulk of
the ball was held together by threads trendinR in
every direction among the seaweed. BY close OBJ
servatton II became apparent that this mass of

loose branches extending in various directions by

streams successfully on account OF the numerous
stumps Of trees on the bottom. One hunter made
large haul with a fyke some weeks ago. He
saw a large number OF terrapn going up a narrow
marsh stream and knew that It was useless to
follow them at once account OF the
deep holes which rendered the terrapin practically
safe from pursuit. He therefore stopped up tho
stream with the exception of one narrow outlet
in which he placed mis- fyke. Night after night
