IMMUNITY in laying IN large supplies since the over
stock could always be counted upon a fair ferti-
lizing material
At last the true value of terrapin as one of the
most palatable luXuries that the scientific caterer
may place before his patron thoroughly estab-
lished, and the demand incident upon this growing
favor led to the ruthless destruction of terrapin
without regard to the natural conditions controlling
the life and habits of these creatures with
sequent decrease in numbers and rise in price. In
deed the price has so far advanced that terrapin

This seems a fabulous sum to pay; but when the
scarcity IS illustrated by the actual figures of

other kinds of terrapin besides the diamond backs)

and caterers consider themselves fortunate to have
the privilege OF paying any price.

breeding time and without respect to sex. This
would naturally tend toward their depletion since
the females and young would be destroyed the
latter not having time to grow to maturity before
they are served upon the table with butter
The call for the product from Europe is another
factor in the decrease of the diamond backs, and
throughout country, forms a combined
force that fast completing the last chapter in the
life of the famous diamond back terrapin-unless

ing but until recently all the efforts in the direction
of raising them in Enclosures have proved failures
The first expense of stocking farm with terTapin
from two to five dollars each is important
item, and the fact that thirteen to fifteen years
must elapse before the young at all salable
then measuring only five inches and bringing less
than twenty-five dollars dozen, is another draw
back to the industry. There are also the discOur-
agements that from ineXperienCe and lack
of the knowledge of the habits of these interesting
little creatures The loss following the mistakes
incident upon such ignorance usually deters the
terrapin farmer from a second experimental ven
ture.
Terrapn are pleasant of disposition rarely snap
ping or becoming angry, and soon grow so accus-
toned to that they will eat from the hand of
the one who customarily feeds them
An Expensive Luxury
THE Young are specially attractive being soft of
shell and about an inch in length. They begin
a life of independence almost from birth; for after
the female lays the eggs in the sand and covers
them over her maternal duties are at an end. As
soon as the Young break the she'll they remain in
the sand all winter, to emerge in the spring and
forage for their suStenanCe.

zach year another interesting chapter is added
r, to the history of the diamond back terrapn,
which like the buffalo, seems to be tending
toward depletion in America, but which, unlike any
tOpmost pinnacle of ePlcurean popularity. Owing
to this scarcity their natural habtats and to the
fact that the industry OF terrapin-raising is not
largely practised, there a chance that the next
few years may witness the writing OF the eplogue
of their story. Epicures will then have to Danish
their most costly and tempting delcacy from their
menus forever, and Aunt Leah's famous recipe,
which is dear to the hearts of many OF the old fam
lies of Maryland, will be sheved among the vol
uneS of ancient lore.
Staple Food of Slaves
FROM its earlier humble existence when,
molested by the predacious hand of man, it
sWarmed certain localities of the Atlantic coast
countless numbers until its present scarcity and
great demand, this geometricaly sheled little
creature has known all the vicissitudes that may
befa one of its rank in the animal kingdom. Be
ginning with life of freedom, he first used
food when the planters of the South ordered terra
pin as the compulsory weekly ration for their negro
slaves. With little relish did the slaves receive
this diet that considerate masters when disposing
of their bondmen often stipulated in the contract
that they should not be fed terrapin oftener than
twice week.
Later, an occasional white person, who was at
once adjudged peculiar in his tastes, took to the
dish, and about 1850 Delaware and Chesapeake
fishermen began to supply the markets The price
the terrapn brought ranged only from five to twenty
cents apiece, though this a fair remuneration
when it is considered that several dozen could be
gathered in a day. and single haul of the seine
often brought three four hundred brown shells.

that struggle for distinction which had re-

might have been his susceptible ones the
memory of Silence and of the manner of their
separation combined to keep him unscathed
of love When he finally emerged from that
cloud he found that other women did not ap-
peal to his fastidiousness as she had done, and
his life as a successful bachelor lawyer and
politician was highly agreeable. He lived
in constantly increasing material comfort; his
intellect found full play in the labors OF his
career. No great passion came to change
the full and satisfying current OF his
DAYS. Why should he bother about marry
ing?
Each year the checks from the West,
their very smalness spelling out a story of
self-denial and appalling thrift, had brought
with them their day or two of dlSsats-
faction. He wished that he might stop
them. He would vastly rather add to Silence
Hastings comforts than subtract from them.
But she was somewhere safely hidden from
