THE other day my boy Dave, who
Is very fond of pets. came into pos
session of small turtle. perhaps six
or seven inches in diameter" said a
well-known resident of Flatbush. AT
ter much patient care Dave trained
the turtle to carry a small string in
his mouth. By means of this string
and judicious prodding he succeeded
in driving the new pet in a fairly
straight direction.
"A few evenings ago | had little
party at my house, and number of
friends came over from Manhattan.
The party lasted until IL O'Clock. and
| persuaded some of the boys who
lived in New York to stay all night
The next morning We all oversight
ourselves. and didn't get up until 8
o'clock. which was the time most of
us should be in the Office over in New
York. Well. we all hustled around
to get away. and my wife sent Dave
to the store for some peaches for
breakfast, taking particular pains TO
impress upon him how necessary it
was that he should go and come in
the greatest hurry. He listened at
tentively and then darted away from
the house like an arrow from a bow.
Twenty minutes passed. No Dave.
A half hour; then three-quarters.
Everybody on pins and needles. AT
last one of the boys could stand it no
longer. and he went down the street
in search of Dave. About four blocks
away he came across the aforesaid.
with the bag OF peaches under his
arm, and a long stick in his hand,
Dave was absorbed in the delicate
operation of guiding that COMPOUNDED
turtle toward the house"

Many tales are told of the high
handed action of county courts, but
none equals the story of the court
of Maury county. Tenn, which abol-
ished the Chancery court of the divi-
sion at the instance of Senator Car
mack Carmack himself was once a
member of the Maury county court
and every farmer. no matter how far
in the backwoods he may live, knows
Carmack, and calls him Ned"
While visiting Columbia, the CAPT
tai of the county, during recess Of
Congress, Carmack, then repre-
sentative. strolled into the county
court room. where the quarterly
court was in session. He took a seat
in corner and listened to the count
ry orators. A bill was presented for
window shades for the Chancery
tice was on his feet.
Darn the Chancery cote. Let 'em
pay for their own window shades.
That cote amt nothln' but an expense
nohow."
During his torrent of invective
against the offending body. Carmack
scrubbed a few lines in a notebook
and gravely handed the sheet of pa
Fer to one of the Solons sitting near
him. When the orator finished Car
mack's neighbor arose and presented
the following resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this court that the Chancery court is
useless expense and burden to the
county Therefore be IL resolved that
it be declared and is hereby aool-
ished."
One or two of the justices looked at
Carmack suspiciously. but the resolu-
tion was put to vote and carried with
enthusiasm by an overwhelming ma
jority.

A poultry farm, whether ducks,
geese, chickens or turkeys be the spe-
cialty, accumulates large and malo-
dorous surplus of eggs that refused to
develop into fowl. The average per-
son would suppose that If there is any
thing on earth that is utterly worth
less it Is stale egg. Millions of stale
eggs are used every year in preparing
leather dressing for gloves and book
binding-an industry that is largely
carried on in the foreign tenement
houses of New York and other large
cities. They are also used in manu-
featuring disinfectants and in the
preparation of shoeblacking, and even
the shells are made into fertilizers.
The eggs that have not yet lost their
virtue also have other uses besides the
more common ones for culinary pur-
poses. 1t is estimated that fully 55,-
100000 dozen are used by wine clari-
fiers, dye manufacturers, and in the
preparation Of photographers dry

this country over which no passes are
issued. Everybody except the conduc-
tor and the train crew-even the pres
ident himself-has to pay fare, and a
round-trip ticket over the entire sys-
tenn costs $3.50. The railroad is ninety
miles long. 1t has no stations except
the terminals at Williams. where it
connects with the Santa Fe, and at the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. 1t has
no side tracks except one to allow the
trains to pass. There are four passen-
ger trains day. two in each direction,
made up of a baggage car and two
coaches and through Pullmans from
Kansas City and Los Angeles twice a
week. There are no freight trains and
llo freight Is carried except water and
other supplies for the hotels at the
Grand Canyon. The road depends upon
passenger traffic alone. That is the rea-
son why passes are not given. There
are no switchmen in the employ of
the company and the pay roll carries
only twelve names, including conduc-
tors. engineers, flremen, ticket agents
and all concerned, and the track is
kept in order by five section gangs of
ten men each, who are now rebuilding

rails and ballast of volcanic cinder.

Every one of these excursions is
enough to use up the strongest men.
Nowadays one can ride to the can
yon in parlor car or Pullman sleep
er and step off the train into one of
the most picturesque and comfortable
hotels in the world You can come all
the year round. February and March
are the least pleasant months, because
there are apt to be rain and snow
storms. From Sept. Is to Feb. the
weather is most agreeable, but these
summer days are almost perfect
neither too cool nor too hot The ther-
mometer ranges between IS and 70
Fahrenheit. There are several advan-
tages in coming down here in the sum-
mer, and a good many people are be-
ginning to find them out. The altitude
is 1000 feet above the sea, and that
insures cool nights, no matter how
warm the days may be. But the days
are not too warm for comfort; the
thermometer seldom goes above 80;
there is no humidity in the atmos-
phere; and if the sun is too hot all you
have to do is to raise your umberlla.
There Is occasionally freak of
weather. The snowstorm in which we
were lost occurred on the Goth of May,
1899, and it is singular coincidence
that SIMILAR squall should arrive on
the very same date this year, with
snow enough to hide the roadway
through the forest But there Is no
danger of getting lost now. The trees
have been blaZed on both sides of the
trail, and if you stick to the railway
cars you are sure to bring up at the
canyon, three hours or so after you
leave the Santa Fe Line at Fort Will
Jams. The snow never lasts more than
a few hours. 1t may fall to depth of
two or three inches during the night
two or three times year, but as soon
as the sun comes out in the morning 1t
disappears almost instantly.

The Uruguay Potato.

Fresh investigation regarding the
new Uruguay potato indicates that the
plant will probably not prove of much
practical value where the common DO
tato or the sweet potato can be grown
with success. 1t is tropical plant
which will not thrive in cool weather,
and even where 1t has succeeded it is
of such weedy character that it Is
liable to become a nuisance when it
escapes from cultivation. Those who
are experimenting with the new potato
express some hopes that it may yet be
improved to such an extent that it's
vigorous productive character may
bring 1t into use to limited extent
At present it is not recommended for
commercial uses.
