Nothing strikes me at this mo-
ment; we will leave them to
bleach here yet awhile, and per
haps, by saving them up after
ward, make a few chairs, or a
reading desk for the museum.
But now it is time to return home.
Bring the boat round to where
the turtle awaits his fate; we
must settle how to deal with
him"
It was soon decided that he
must swim. | fastened the empty
water-cask to a long line, one end
of which was made fast to the
bow of the boat, the other care
fully passed round the neck and
forepaws of the creature, who was
then lifted, so as to let him regain
his feet, when he instantly made
for the water, plunged in, the
cask floated after him, and pre-
vented his sinking. We ere all
on board in a moment; and the
worthy fellow vainly attempting
to dive, set himself diligently to
swim right forward, towing us
comfortably after him. l was
ready to cut the line on the least
appearance OF danger, and kept
him on the course for Safety Bay
by striking the water with a noa1
hook, right or left. according as
the turtle was disposed to turn
100 much one way or the other.
The boys were delighted with
the fun, and compared me to
Neptune in his car, drawn by
dolphins, and accompanied by
Ampnitrite and attendant Tritons.

larger. Come and seel'
AS was about to follow the
boy, a voice from another direc-
ton suddenly cried:
Father. father! a great enor-
nous turtlei Please make haste.
1t is waddling back to e as
hard as it a go and we can't
stop it,"
This appeal being more pressing
as well as more important than
Jacks, I snatched up an a and
FASTENED to their assistance.
Sure enough a large turtle was
s%crambling quickly toward the
water, and was within a few
PAGES of it, although Ernest was
valiantly holding on by one of
its hind legs.
l sprang down the bank, and
making use of the oar as a lever,
we succeeded with some difficulty
in the turning the creature on its
back.
1t was a huge specimen, fully
eight feet long, and being now
quite helpless, We left it sprawl
ing, and went to inspect Jacks
mammoth skeleton, which, OF
course, proved to be neither more
nor less than that of the whale.
1 convinced him of the fact by
pointing out the marks of II
feet on the ground, and the brok-
en- jaws where we had hacked
out the w%halebone.
What a have made you take
up that fancy about a mammoth,
my boy?"
Ernest put it into my head,
father. He said there seemed to
be the skeleton of an antedilu-
Wan monster there, so l ran to
look closer, and l never thought
of the whale, when | saw no fish
bones. I suppose Ernest was
joking"
whales are generally consid-
cred as fishes by those little ac-
quainted with the animal kingdom,
but they belong to the class of
mammals, which comprises man,
the monkey tribes, the bats, the
dogs and cats, all hoofed animals.
whales and their allies, with 9th
er animals. the last on the list
being the sloth.
THE name by which they are
distinguished is derived from the
Latin word mamma, a breast,
and is given to them because all
the species belonging to this class
are furnished with a set of or
gans called the mammary glands
.secreting the liquid known as
milk, by which the young are
nourished.
"The bones of the whale differ
those of animals. simply in
being of a hollow construction,
and filled with air so as to rend-
er the arcas more buoyant. The
bones of birds are also hollow,
for the same reason, and in all
this we see conspicuously the wis
dom and goodness of the great
Creator"
What a marvellous structure it
is. father!" said Fritz. "What q
p%onderous mass of bones! Can we
not make use of ony of them?'

Famous Statuary Hall
Senator MorriiPs Idea

Justin Smith Morrill, suggested
the plan OF putting statues in the
Capitol Of prominent men from each
state. The National Statuary hall,
senicircular in shape and designed
by Latrobe, after a Greek theater,
is one Of the most beautiful rooms
in the Capitol. On the north side it
has colonnade of Potomac marble
with white capitals, and such a
screen of similar columns on the
south side supports a noble arch.
The domed ceiling, decorated after
that Of the Roman Pantheon,
springs 81 feet to a cupola by which
the room is lighted. Above the door
leading from the rotunda is Fran
zoni's historical clock. This room
was the hall of representatives, and
was the forum of debates by Web
ster, Clay, Adams, Calhoun and
others whose names are indelibly
associated with the history of con-
gress. In 1864 at the suggestion Of
Senator Morrill, of Vermont (then
a member of the house) the room
was set apart as a National Stat
uary hall, to which each state might
send the statues Of two of its dis
tinguished citizens. Rhode Island
was the first to respond, choosing
Roger Williams and Nathaniel
Greene.

Eagle Undisputed King
of Fcatherd Creatures

In all ages and among many ma
lions the eagle has been considered
the king of birds. In ancient
mythology he was held sacred to
Jave, who had dominion over the
seasons and held in his grasp the
lightning. In early historic times
many nations paid it special rever-
ence, and the Romans, following
the earlier example of the Persians
or Assyrians, made it their ensign.
More modern countries-Franee,
Prussia, Italy, Mexico-have chosen
its figure to adorn their standards
1t was natural, therefore, that
America should adopt it's own fine
species as its emblem. Since 1852,
when it was formally chosen, the
eagle has been selected to appear
on the official flags of Illinois, Iowa,
Kentucky, Michigan, New York,
North Dakota Oregon and Utah.
His image also figures on various
flags, standards and seals of the
United States, of the army and
navy, and Of the President and his
cabinet, and on several of our coins.

Ancient Magyar Carvings
Throw Light on History

At Quirigua, in the republic of
Guatemala, there exists a number
Of most interesting ruins, apparent
ly the remains of temples and other
public buildings. There are many
individual monoliths, erected as
monuments of different sorts, sculp-
tured with human faces and figures,
and animal designs, as well as hier-
ogliphics, which Psychologists have
not as yet been able to decipher ae-
curately. One such stone bears q
date in Magyar chronology which
has been computed to coincide with
535 A. d. of the Gregorian calen-
dar. The carving of this monolith,
which is the largest of the sur
yiving remnants, is still clear and
perfect despite the long procession
of centuries that has passed over
it. Inscriptions and representa-
tions on this and other stones tend
to the belief that Indian corn was
first cultivated in Guatemala. The
corn-cakes of the Magyar Indians
were probably the first attempts to
cook corn or maize, and these cakes
are still today the staple of the
Guatemalan and Mexican diet.

piled the manager. "You can't

The traveller departed and was

many orders?"
The traveller hesitated for a mo-
ment and then said cheerfuliy:

Small Need for Gator
to Practice Speeding

At st. Augustine, Fla. there is
perhaps the largest alligator farm
in the world, having about 5000 al
ligators Of all sizes. A party was
being shown around by a negro and
they came at last to an alligator
that weighed 1000 pounds and was
800 years old. This gator was TAX
ing life easy, and when we stood
there, perhaps 10 minutes, he did
not show any outward signs that
he was alive. One Of the party
mentioned this to the guide and
that it must be nice to be an alli-
gator, and he would not mind be-
ing one himself If all they had to do
was to eat and sleep. On further
reflection he asked the negro just
what the alligator did do anyway,
and the negro replied: "Well, Sub,
scientists done figur' out that these
gators done live to be bout 1900
years old and l done guess them
animals jes' figur' that what little
they got to do they done got plenty
time to do it in"

Unconscious Helpers

A minister in Scotland recently
related that once, somewhat tired,
he was slowly climbing a steep hill,
when all at once he heard a boy
practicing ON his kettledrum. He
was playing a march, and, almost
unconsciously, the weary climber
quickened his pace, and kept in
time with the rat-tat-tat of the
drum. He was helped by the boy,
though the boy knew nothing Of it.
That thought, said the speaker,
greatly encouraged him; for often,
like the prophet, workers get dis
couraged, and think they have la
bored in vain, whereas it may be
that their example and efforts
have, unknown to them, helped
many a struggling brother and sis
ter along the path of truth and
right.-Exchange.

Mixture of Many Tongues

English as spoken in this coun-
try is derived from many sources.
Our speech has a Saxon base. APP
proximately 20 per cent of the
words in conversational use are
derived from Latin. We have many
literary and ecclesiastical Latin
terms and technical words derived
from the Greek. A greater part of
our household and poetical words
are Saxon. There is a strong
French influence originally intro
duced by the conquest of the island
of Britain by William the Con-
queror, the duke Of Normandy.
There are also in our language nu-
merous words brought by colonists
from the Netherlands and also
Spanish and Indian words.

Presidential Expenses

In the days when Lincoln was
President no travelling expenses
were provided for by congress.
About $1,000 year was appropri-
ated and known as a contingent
fund. From this bills for station
cry, printing, ETC., were paid. SO
it is easily seen that little was left
for travelling. Usually there were
no travelling expenses for the Presi-
dent, as he Travelled complimentary
lily. The act Of March 4, 1907, pro-
vided for an annual appropriation
of $4,000 for travelling expenses for
the President. This was the first
actual appropriation for the pur-
pose. This was in the administra-
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt.

SHANTUNG SUIT

The suit has never been as impor-
tant as it is this year, for it can be
invariably counted upon to present
the well-groomed, carefully assem-
bled appearance that is the highest
measure of 1880 chic. When de-
veloped in silk, it becomes an invalu-
able member of the summer ward
robe; it is feminine, svelte and
becoming, and appropriate for any
number of occasions. This suit of
cocoa-brown sfantung follows rather
sophisticated tailored lines. The
semi-htted coat has a slender shawl
collar, one-button closing and cut
away corners. The tuck-in blouse
has bosom front, and the circular
skirt has side yokes.

First British Battleship

The British battleship, called
Great Harry, is said to be the first
ship which, strictly speaking, be-
longed to the royal navy. It was
built in 1883 and had three masts
and as late as the year 1915 was
the only ship of that build in the
English fleet. 1t is stated that she
was accidentally burned at Wool
witch in 1853. She was built during
the reign Of Henry VII and was
probably called the Great Harry
for his nickname, which was Harry.
