The terrapin farming" he contin.

very lucrative. But it requires a large
outlay of capital and a great deal OF
labor. Each owner of a 'farm-as the
little water front fenced in for the
purpose is called-zealOusly guards his
domain and resents the slightest en-
croachment by a neighbor or stranger.
And a curious thing about it is that
these men engaged in the business

upon the testimony of the owner, who
swore point blank that the said ter.
rapin was his, and was stolen from
his farm because he recognized the
aforesaid terrapin by its individual
expression of ~countenance, which he
had studied for years.
HE stated also that all his terra

1.-THE question of temperature and
ventilation" he says, lis one OF the
most difficult winter problems. So
much depends upon circumstances and
individual idiocyncrasy that it is hard
to lay down any definite rules. An in.
door temperature which is suitable
for a vigorous person or one in active
motion is dangerous for one who is
delicate or sitting and doing head

LAS a general rule it may be said

been forced to accept the fact that
Cluny was at least eighteen DAYS be-

A certain well known politicians

would inquire sarcastically when the
lettuce was served.
The wife stood it as long as she
could. One evening he came home in
a particularly captious humor. His
wife was dressed in her most becom-
ing gown and fairly dubbed over with
wit. They went in to dinner. The
soup tureen was brought in. Tied to
one handle was a card containing the
information in a big round hand:

Roast beef followed, with a placard
announcing: This is roast beef"
The potatoes were labeled, the
gravy dish was placarded, the olives
bore a card marked "Olives," the salad
bowl carried a tag marked Salad"
and when the ice cream came in a
card announcing This is ice cream"
came with it.
The wife talked Of a thousand diff
ferent things all through the meal.
Never once by word or look did she
refer to the labeled dishes. Neither
then nor thereafter did she say a
word about them, and never since
that evening has the captious husband
ventured to indulge in criticism of
his home dinners.-New York Press.

Scotland with him."
"Oh, yes" Jane answered, her Eyes
shining, her mouth wreathed in
smiles, her whole being expressing
her delight in such an anticipation.
Matilda made no further remark, but
when Jane had closed the door be-
hind her, she sat down thoughtfully
by the fire, and stirring together the
red embers, sighed rather than said:
why do people marry and bring
up sons and daughters? This girl
