Turtle BrIngs Message from Sea.

One of the puzz.es Of the sea came to
the surface Friday, when a gigantic
sea turtle was captured by Julius Sollssa,
San Diego, Cal, fisherman. The
monster weighs 1902 pounds and its
shell is five feet two inches from tip to
tip. On its back is burned or carved
this inscription "British ship Seabrine,
Aug. IL, 1881, 8 south, sc west 1t
found please notify Thomas Fletcher,
Brawley road, Rivington, England" II
would appear from this fact that the
turtle was captured twenty-six years ago
in the south Pacific, and that he was re-
leased after the lettering had been burn
ed in its shell.

Oriqin Of Altar Of Roses.

The preparation Of the famous altar
Of roses, according to the Circle, seems
to have been discovered by accident.
From India we get the tradition, The
favorite Sultana Of Sehanghir caused a
bath OF rosewater to be prepared for
her use. The burning sun of India
brought its might upon the bath pre-
pared in the royal garden and soon
globules of oil were found floating up
on the fragrant water. Deeming the
bath. impure and attempting to skim
Off the aim, the attendants broke the
globules, and at once the garden was
filed with fragrance. The finest es-
sence Is not gathered from the rarest
and most costly flowers, for the fra
grant oil glands are most abundant in
the petals of the free blooming, old,
common kinds. '@ So

MONOPOLIES AND RINGS.

Wealth and Power.
The evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his "Politics," and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called a
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia. Monopolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain Of confiscation and exile, SO
that it Is certain that the rings of
the ancient days were as mischievous
as they are now. At Athens law linn
tied the amount of corn a man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was a corn ring.
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration Of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one Of the shepherd
kings and ruled over the whole Of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years Of remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel Of corn beyond
the absolute needs of the Egyptians
and stored it., During the terrible fam
Inc that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered corn sue
cesslvely for the Egyptian money, cat
tie and land and, taking one-f1fth for
pharaoh, made him supremely wealthy.
It was not merely provident act, but
very polite one, his policy being to
