THE TURTLE.

r v AVE you ever had turtle wink
at you? And didn't he seem to
say Il know something funny
Il Il that you are going to find out"
| Well, he does wink, but he does
not have an eyelid or lashes He turns
! his eyebau down against the lower lid
and gives you the impression he gave
/ you knowing wink.
| Turtles. as you know, have been on the
| earth for a great many years, and at
/ the time they made their appearance 1t
was case Of every fellow for himself" ."
/ There were a great many monsters
strOlling about looking for something
. to degour. The turtle Just had to have
a strong home in which to travel Some
of the turtles make their home in the
/ water and others live on the land, only
/ seeking the pond or stream edges for
| the purpose Of placing eggs or intern
/ ing for the Winter in mud bed.
/ When Mrs. Turtle goes for stroll,
| even though it is a slow amble, 1t strikes
/ one that she knows where she is going
/ Her head is stretched way out Of the
home; her legs, which are very soft and
/ Claw-finiShed, look as if they were bone
! less, but they are not Her tail Is held
/ quite perkily, but it is nothing to brag
about
When you are fortunate enough to
| study her head, you will see how snake
! like it looks. The eyes are black, with
yelloWlsh iris, and at times she looks
intelligent. On her Snout are mere
pinholeS which answer for nostrilS. The
! mouth is far from handsome; is more
like beak, and has very cutting edges.
muSt say, after a trip to the black
berry patch, Mrs. Turtle looks as If her
face needed washing The pulsating
in her throat is her way Of swallowing
air for breathing
The box turtle has a front and rear
trapdoor. The upper shell is grown fast
to the backbone ana the lower shell to
the breastbone. She often grows to be
6l2 inches long. and is the turtle upon
whose back initials and dates are placed.
Should you come upon her suddenly
and be rude to her, she closes her doors
with hiss, and all you can see when
inspecting her is the tip of her nose
and tail. Her body Is covered with
rough skin, made up Of various sized
plates.
They are not particularly chummy
with each other, and when occupying
the same quarters seem to have a sud
den and ungovernable appetite for each
others legs and tails. They are espe-
cially fond Of earthworms, and when
foraging for themselves they partake of
vegetables, fruit and insects.
The mother seeks damp places along
the edge Of stream or pond in which
to place her white, leathery oblong
eggs. In the early Spring you will see
her again, and while she will not greet
you with smile, she will take food
from your hand II you have been
friendly with her the season before.
These turtles are capable of keeping
down many insect pests, while they do
eat great many tomatoes and fruits.
| They are Of more value to US in
, flower garden. They make interesting
pets and do not bite or attack you. In
fact, they seem to try to avoid all forms
Of combat.
At the ripe old age of 40 a turtle is
just as shy Of you as she was when a
young damsel seeking her mate

There Are Eggs and Eggs.

More often thar, you ever dream
This isn't always their own fault. BY
no means. 1t is often due TO failure on
the part Of others to see them truly.
They may seem to be one thing while
in reality they are something altogether
different, largely because others think
they are what they are not. So it is
never wise to judge wholly by appear
ances.
Runty, the venturesome little Possun,
was in Farmer Browns henhouse look
Ing for eggs. He never had seen an
egg. but be was sure he would know
one II he found it. Unc' Billy Possum,
his father had told him that it would
be big and smooth. So when he
climbed into the first nest and found
something smooth ana rounded he
hadn't doubt that it was an egg. His
eyes glistened. He smeiled of il, but
there was no odor. lie felt OF it. It
was hard and smooth, so smooth that
his little paws slipped from it, 1t was
bigger than he had thought it would
be, third as big as himself, for he
was still little fellow.
Unc' Billy had said that the smooth
part was shell that he could bite
through. He decided that he would
try that egg then and there! One end
was smaller than the other, He lay
down beside 1t and clasped it with both
hands and feet and tried to bite
through the small end. His teeth
slipped off. Yes, sir, his teeth slipped
off. Trey as he would, he couldn't bite
through that shell. What was more,
he had hard work to hold on TO it.
1t kept slipping from his grasp. He
began to lose his temper. He bit
harder than ever and his teeth slipped
off as before. 1t made him SO angry
that he kicked foolishly and that egg
slipped away from him and out of the
nest down to the floor, where it landed
with a dull thump.
Runty peered down. Then he climbed
down. That shell hadn't broken. 1t
hadn't even cracked. Runty shifted in
disgust and then climbed TO another
was just like the other. He couldn't bite
it, try as he would. This he also
kicked out on the floor and it didn't
break. Runty was becoming discour-
aged and oh, so disappointed! He be-
gan to wonder what sort of teeth Unc'
Billy had to bite through a shell like
that. He climbed from nest to nest.
Some were empty and others had eggs
just like those he had found. He tried
them all with the same result. OF
course, you know what they were. They
were china eggs, china nest eggs put
there by Farmer Browns Boy.
Just as Runty was about ready to
give up he found a nest with two eggs
in it. Yes, sir, there were two eggs in
it. One was just like the others, but
one was different. 1t was a little
smaller and it felt different. When he

can tell 1t Runty had q hole In that
END and was sucking and tapping out
the. contents. He was getting his first
taste Of egg and liking It. He under
stood now why Unc' Billy wanted an
egg so badly.
He forgot Unc' Billy waiting outside.
He forgot that he was IN a strange
place. He forgot everything but the
feast he was having. When nothing
but she'll remained of that egg he went
hunting for another. AS before he
found several of those white china eggs,
but now he knew the difference between
these and real eggs the moment he
touched one, and wasted no more time
trying to bite a hole in one.

Special Sandwiches,

Sandwiches are delicious filled with
fruit butter. This is made like the best
kinds Of lemon curd, with eggs, butter,
cane sugar and crushed fruit. 1t can
be bought in pineapple, banana, orange,
lemon and grapefruit favor. 1t should
be used without butter and is delicious

or dry biscuits.
Egg sandwiches will be improved If
little dry mustard is sprinkled over
them with pepper and salt. There is
no need to make the mustard in the
usual way. as this is apt to make the
sandwiches too moist

Farmer Browns Boy had collected the
eggs the morning before. Meanwhile

could make himself as small as Runty

little opening

In one of the old-time stone mansions
with great granite-pillared porticos.
With an income far exceeding any de-
mands she would make upon it for up
keep or personal expenses, she never
theleSs felt poor. She lived in constant
dread Of ending her days in the poor
house. She was a miserable woman
because she was minus the spirit Of
prosperity. In the very midst of sur
passing wealth, she suffered poverty.
There are other persons who have
money enough to meet every necessity
and to supply themselves and their fam
alies with many luxuries who suffer from
this same poverty Of thinking. They
have monetary abundance, but no ap-
preciable prosperity, because they are
constantly dwelling on the wrong side
of things.
Prosperity Of spirit is something to be
desired, for without it monetary pros
perity ayaileth little. Unless persons
know enough to enjoy what they have,
they cannot rise to the pleasures that
are actually in their, possession. 1t
takes the spirit of prosperity, plus the
material prosperity, to satisfy.

much Of adverse conditions, every per-
