Turtle and Farina.

Turtle aud farina tafen together rep
resent to those who live on the ANA
Eon. be they white. negro or Indian or
one Of tue numerous crossbreeds,
what the salmon does to the Alaska
Indian. the cocoanut to the south sea
islander and rice TO the Monaghan.
A short run of salmon in the Alaska
rivers. a crop failure in the paddy
fields of China. a hurricane in the
south sea islands. all reduce to the
same thing-famihe. On the Amazon
a shortage of turtles may be tided
over by a plentitude Of farina. or vice
versa. \ failure of both turtles and
farina in the same year brings great
and widespread distress. Farina is
crude. locally made product OF the
root Of the manioc. further refine
ment of which results in the tapioca OF
commerce. Tapioca is the pure starch
of the root. farina the starch mixed
with a woody fiber. the latter impart-
ing a yellowish color TO the compound.
Farlna under a number OF different
names is more or less OF staple with
the natives in all Of tropical America
from the West Indies to Paraguay

ReIioion In Holland,

The following incident was told me
by Lecky in somewhat whimsical illus
tration of his belief that IL religion
were TO die out Of all other European
nations it would still survive in Hol-
land: A Dutch peasant was in sore
straits about the impossibility Of max
ing his hens observe Sunday. He came
to his pastor with a present Of eggs.
He regretted, he said, that he could
not prevent his hens from laying these
on the Sabbath. but he made what
amends he could by giving them to
Gods minister that they might be
handed over to the poor and infrm.-

Suspicious.

During a period of political agitation
stranger arrived in Magdeburg,
where, on applying to the authorities,
he obtained a permit or ticket Of resi-
dence. He had not been long in the
town before he became aware that his
steps were being logged by Il man In
blue uniform. He bore it for days.
but at last said to the spy: Sir, do you
wish to drive me mad? Why do you
pursue me-in this wayY
Il am a detective, and my instruc-
tons are not to lose sight Of YOU" was
the quiet answer.
"Why, what fault have the police
to find with meT shouted the stran-
ger in the greatest excitement. MY
passport is In order. Here is my
ticket Of residence. ! am a citizen OF
Berlin. Why do you follow me aboutT
ut states in your passport" was
the reply, that you were going TO re-
side here for pleasure. That looked
suspicious, as it is the first time any
one came to reside in Magdeburg for
pleasure"
