CLOTHES CHEST FOR BABY.

Chests for the baby's clothes or
toys are covered with white linen and
have designs painted or embroidered
on the top together with baby's mon
ogram. II one wishes a chest which
is not SO likely to soil quickly, it is
a good plan to make it of blue linen
in the delft shade and embroidered
in white. Outline designs done in
white are most effective and take
very little time. Inside the chest is
padded with white wadded silk, il
clothes are to be kept in it. If it
Is meant 10 hold toys the inside is
neatly papered in white or in blue.
II one prefers the white chest the

HOW TO CARE FOR ONION BEDS

In his advice to backyard garden
ers regarding onion cultivation,
James B. Sherwood writes in the
Louisville Courier-Journal as fol-
lows:
"Be sure that your onion beds re-
ceive plenty of water and with regu-
larity. After the ground has been
irrigated till it will not absorb any
more wait until the surface soil has
dried out somewhat and then give
the plants a little surface cultiva-
ton, just enough to keep the soil
siftcd and TO prevent any possible
caking around the roots,
eff you are trying to raise onions
on a semi-muck soil watch to see
that your surface soil does not bake
following a heavy rainstorm. Keep
it well stirred and free of weeds and
you should have flourishing bed Of
onions"

citizens Of the little burg, after his
failure to return within reasonable
time, gave up hope of ever seeing or
hearing of him again, thinking that
the man had met with foul play, and
not until two days ago had they had
the least idea of what had become
of him.
Two days ago, while members of
the family were seated at their home
at the dinner table, Mosely walked
in as deliberately as he had walked
away twelve years ago and although
he was somewhat changed in appear

full to him all the long years Of his
absence, Immediately recognized
him as the husband Of her younger
days. and the return of the prodigsl
son, as related in the Bible story,

heart of his old father than the re.
turn of this husband brought to the
hearts of the faithful wife and low.

DECLINE OF TASTY TERRAPIN
Reptile viii Soon Be E~xterminat-
ed BY New Methods.

Notwithstanding comes from
Baltimore that the public must not
be deceived by the sudden plenty Of
abundance now, but the sad prophecy
is made that pretty soon Bre'r Terra
pin will be no more found on the
tables of ever the richest epicures. A
new method has been found for har-
yesting these delectable reptiles
which has caused the sudden plenty.
1t appears that about this time of year
the diamond backs come up out of the
deep mud in which they have hiber-
mated to rest awhile on the upper stra-
tum before beginning the seasons &C
tivities. A Yankee genius has invent
ed a sort of rake which sweeps the
bottom of the sounds and rivers and
thus gathers bushels of the amin ais
Into the steam dredges which are now
at work. But we are solemnly IN
formed that three seasons of this sort
OF work will make an end of the spe-
cies.
1t is not a great issue, but II Is In
~teresting to that small body of per-
sons who consider terrapin the most
delicious dish that can be served on
the table. Some cannot abide it; 9TH
ers pay willingly the high price de-
manded. Many persons do not like
reptile food at all. In the south rattle
snake is considered a great delicacy.
If one can forget his preiudices 1t
must be admitted that the flesh is
tasty and quite as refreshing as dried
goldfish, for instance. Many persons.
too, like terrapin simply because 1t is
costly and has a reputation.
An ancient colonial law of Maryland
has just been dug up. 1t shows that
slaves were not treated as well as
they deserved, particularly in the mat
ter OF food; hence it was ordered in
council that no slave should be fed
on terrapin more than four times a
week! Think of that, We ~epicures who
have to be content with a few portions
each season.! Things have changed
nightly since terrapin was consid-
cred unfit food for slaves as a steady
diet. 1t seems likely, however, that
part of the duty of the slave was to
hustle for his terrapins after working
hours, and this may have been the
greater part Of his injury. 1t may be

Mr.. Grimm rose and walked over to
the window where the light was bet

closely. There were three red
splotches of wax upon it, each i'm
pressed with the legation seal; the en-.
velope was without marks otherwise.
He turned and twisted it aimlessly,
and peered curiously at the various
seals, after which he handed it to the
frankly impatient diplomatist.
Senior Rodriguez opened 1t. with
nervous. twitching fingers. Mr.. Grimm
had turned toward the safe again. but
he heard the crackle of parchment as
some document was drawn out of the
envelope, and then came a deep sigh
of relief. Having satisfied his sudden
fears for the safety of the paper, what
ever it was, the senior placed 1t In an
other envelope and sealed 1t again
with elaborate care. Mr.. Grimm
dropped into the swivel chair at the
desk.
"Senor," he inquired pleasantly,

later Senior Diaz appeared. He re-
manned with Mr.. Grimm for just eight
minutes. Senior Rodriguez entered
again as his secretary passed on, and

piled Mr.. Grimm placidly. mo ono

That was all. The door opened and
closed, and he was gone.
At the end of an hour he returned,
passed on through to the diplomatist's
private Office, sat down in front of the
locked safe again, and set the dial
at thirty-six. Senior Rodriguez looked
on, astonished, as Mr.. Grimm pressed
the soft rubber sounder of a stetho-
scope against the safe door and began
turning the dial back toward ten,
slowly, slowly. Tbirty-fve minutes
later the lock clicked. Mr.. Grimm
rose, turned the handle, and pulled
the safe door open.

planned to the amazed diplomatist.
