CATCHING TURTLES.
Methods Used by the Fishermen of
the Tropics.

the Tropics.
Turtles are always captured at night
and usually OH moonlight ones. This
is the time they go on the shore TO lay
their eggs. They select a smooth.
sandy beach. dig holes in the sand, de-
post their eggs there and leave them
10 be Matched by the heat of the sand.
When the turtles are on shore for this
purpose hunters come upon them, and
they are easily overtaken, for turtles
are Slew movers. The hunters have
not very strenuous undertaking. All
that is necessary to be done is TO turn
the turtles on their backs and leave
them until the next day, when they are
removed.
Another more curious way of catch
ing turtles is by fishing by the remora,
popular name of this fish and the one
by which the children of those coun-
tries call them is the sucking fish. This
name is given to them on account Of Il
disk on their heads, by which they can
attach themselves TO any smooth sur
1dCCs llhC luC oluC vi a ohhi NJ a GhAB
or the shell of a turtle. This disk is
like the soft leather suckers that are
popular with schoolboys. When this
fish has once attached himself TO any
thing you can pull him TO pieces rather
than force him to release his hold.
Turtle hunters go in boats and carry
several of these remoras in tubs. When
they see turtle and get near him the
sucker is sent after him. He is held
by the ring on his tail. which in turn
is attached by stout cord. Soon the
fish is securely fastened to the shell
of the turtle. and turtle and fish are
hauled into the boat together. Once in
the air the remora loosens his hold and
is dropped back into the tub to rest
until another turtle is sighted.-Wash

THE LOVERS CANDLES.
An Old Courtship Custom That still
Prevails Ia Poland.


Prevails Ia Poland
A quaint old superstition is to this
day held in Poland to the effect that
two lighted candles sci afiOat on the
river by two lovers will by their con-
duct foretell If the course Of true love
will run smooth or otherwise.
The lovers candles" are launched
at 4ery pretty water fete that takes
place every summer on that part Of the
Yistula which runs through Poland. 1t
commences at sunset. The river Is
thronged with procession of little
boats containing masked ladies and
gentlemen. Each person carries two
wreathS and two candles. the latter
representing the person carrying them
and the object of his or her affections.
They are ligAted, fixed firmly in the
center OF the wreaths and laid side by
side in the water Should they float
down the river close together II is
sign that their lives should be united.
Should they drift away from each 9th
er It is 4 sign that the lovers will be
parted, and should they only drift
asunder for a little way and farther on
come together again It is a sign that
the loved ones will only be parted for
time and all come right in the end.
There is much method and order about
the arrangement Of this procession.
The boats glide along in rows, so many
abreast, and after the first row have
proved their wreaths they move away
to the sides and the others come for
ward in succession. The river is well
Illuminated. and 4 large concourse Of
people assemblies to watch the pro-
ceedings. The scene IL a charming one
and reminds one more of fairyland
than of anything else.
