In the most expensive Nav York no
tells recently terrapin was quoted at 81
to So plate, but in the very, very ex-
elusive University club, wherein no one
may dine unless he has degree, or is
introduced by a degreed member, ter

it softly-it was reported that IT was
not the diamond back that was served
in the beautiful gray building on Fifth
avenue. but more humble relative.
Let's learn a little about this aristo-
crat Of the reptile world that costs so
much per mOuthful. In the first place,
she is an inhabitant of salt and braCk
ish waters, living i'm the marshes which
fringe the North American coast from
Cape Cod to Texas. The other terra
pin, not the diamond back, are found
sometimes in fresh water. The dia-
mOnd back was formerly very abun-
dant on her native marsh, but her
toOthSomeness has been her undong
The inCcsSant extensive fishing to
which she has been subjected has re-
duced her numbers and has raised her
price The principal fisheries are now
in Chesapeake bay and on the coasts
of New Jersey and North Carolina but
there are also artificial hatcheries in
addition to the natural breeding
grounds.
Although some terrapin are dug from
the mud while alternating, by far the
| larger number are captured by means
Of seines, traps. etc, during the sum
mer months and are confined in pens,
where they are fed on oysters, fish
| celery. soft shell crabs, etc. to i'm
prove the delcacy of their flavor. The
terrapin commonly sold have a length
OF shell of from hve to eight inches
| and are from six to ten years old. The

A ed for jle presidency Of
an association that is one
OF the greatest and most

obvious conclusion that she is not an

been brought forward prominently as
that of a candidate for the presidency Of
the National Educational association
Miss Strachan denied with mOdesty res

The association will meet in annual
convention in Chicago July to II. The
members will discuss educational prob

twelvemonth, and they will signify
their appreciation of the work of some

for reflection in the warnings issued
annually by the physicians and sur
