The wild Turtle.

Lawyers in Indiana are irretriev;
ably divided over the question, I'D
the green turtle a wild or domesti-
Gated aninal?" Some say it is one
and some say it is not. the question
coming UP because turtle Of that
kind escaped out Of pond belong
ing to one man and was kept by
another who found him The origi-
nal owner wanted the turtle back
and said it was just as much a dos
nestle animal as cat or a dog. SO
law suit came up and that's how
the lawyers got into the affair. But
they are all mistaken. The green
turtle is not an animal at all; It is Il
peach, as anybody who has eaten
one will tell you.-P Philadelphia Grit.

AS school of character it is doubt
full if any better could be devised than
the routine career Of medical stu

not developed manly qualities of self

NOVA SCOTIA AT ExPosiTIoN.
Nova Scotia Day at jamestown, and
Valuable Mineral Display of Province.

Many Nova Scotians, residing
throughout New England and theEast-
ern States, are joining their country
men in gala reunion at the James
town Exposition this week. October
"a was officially set aside by the Ex-
position as Nova Scotia Day. Some
of the leading officials osthe province
are in attendance; the program in
cludes magnificent military and naval
reviews and much speech-making.
Nova Scotia has established rec
ord for herself, being the only for
eign country to place an exhibit at
this Exposition, and 1t is in appre-
citation of this fact that the EXPOSE
tion management proposes to make
every effort to have Nova Scotia Day
a grand success. The exhibit made
by the province is most creditable
one. 1t consists of the precious and
economic minerals of the country,
with gold, in which the province is
SO rich, predominating. Gold was dis
covered in Nova Scotia at least half
century ago by the Micmac Indians,
and one of the principal properties
of the country retains the name of
the tribe to this day, but the discoy-
cries were overlooked by experienced
capital until. within recent years.
Even now many of the most valuable
properties remain practically unde-
veloped. With the view of advertis-
ing its vast mineral resources the
Nova Scotian Government has made
this exhibit, and all native Nova SEQ
tians, wherever they may now reside,
are urged to go down, see Virginia s
beautiful worlds fair and participate
in the Nova Scotia celebration.
