I he Baby Turtle.
Turtles lay their eggs In the buiii!
and let the sun hatch them out. They
do not lay them all In one place prob
ably because lliey think it safer to
scatter them. Then, even though one
be stolen or broken, the others may es
cape. The mother turtle covers them
all carefully up, one after another, with
a thin sprinkling of sand and then ap
parently never gives them another
thought, considering hor maternal duty
done. Certain it is that she has never
been discovered going near these eitjt
babies again, and when they batch at
last the tiny soft backed creatures at
once begin crawling around in search
of flies and other food as independent
ly as If there were no such tiling as :t
mother in the world. A little girl who
found one of these odd oblong turtle
eggs 011 a sandy river bank in Louisi
ana took it home and put it in a teacup
on the table for safe keeping. A few
hours later a slight noise was noticed
in that direction, and on looking in the
cup again she found a baby turtle, full
fledged, but tiny, scrambling about
among the bits or its broken eggshell
cradle.
Ravens and the Hapsburgs.
Ilenri de Woiddel tells the story of
the late Empress Elizabeth and the
ravens which Maurus Jokel gave in an
article at the time of hor majesty's
tragic death. Early in her life Eliza
beth wrote some verses in Hungarian
on tbc subject of ihe raven, the bird
of ill omen, which plays a great part
in tho history of the Hapsburgs. Ac
rording to the imperial poetess, a
flight of ravens was hovering over Ol
niutz when Francis Joseph received
from his uncle's hands the crown
which was destined to inflict upon him
such miseries. A raven followed Max
imilian and Charlotte on their last
walk before their departure for Mex
ico, and when Maria Christina was
starting to receive the crown of Spain,
which was one day to be so grievous a
burden, a raven flew over the horses'
heads and accompanied the carriage to
tho railway station. These incidents
were the subject of the poem.—West
minster Gazette.
Room For Improvement.
A certain estimable old gentleman is
at all times worth listening to. though
occasionally his grammar is scarcely
perfect. He was dining on one occa
sion with the local squire, when, much
to the disgust of his worthy host, a
trifling error on the old gentleman's
part was pounced upon and loudly re
peated by the son and heir of the
house. There was a painful silence,
broken at length by tlie host.
"My son," he remarked quietly to the
young fellow, "there are times, I ad
mit. when our old friend's speech is a
little peculiar. At such times you
might be of mutual assistance to each
other."
"In what way. sir?" asked the son.
"Well." was the severe rejoinder,
"you might give Mr. X. a lesson or
two in grammar, in return for which
I have 110 doubt he would assist you
to patch up the holes in your man
ners."—London Tit-Bits.
Three Reasons For Declining.
Lord Broughtoti had a temper which
sometimes exploded in a most discon
certing manner. It is related that on
one occasion be dined with a large
party at Thackeray's house, and after
dinner some specially fine madeira
was produced. In his usual genial
way the novelist pressed this on his
guests and. patting bis neighbor. Lord
Brougliton, on the back, remarked,
"Now, my dear old boy, you must try
some of this."
A chill fell on the company when
the noble lord retorted, "I am not your
dear boy. 1 am not old, and your
wine."
The Only Thing Left.
Jeremiah Jinks is rich and stingy.
An acquaintance of his met Jinks' son
the other day. "Your father seems to
have lost a good deal of money lately.
The last time 1 saw him lie was com
plaining and saying lie must econo
mize."
"Economize! Did be say where he
was going to begin?"
"l'es; on his table, he said."
"Then he must bo going to take
away the tablecloth," was the filial
declaration.—Exchange.
A Big Birdcage.
A very peculiar institution In the
New York zoo is what is known 11s
"the flying birdcage." This magnifi
cent aviary is the largest of its kind
in the world, being 55 feet high, 72
feet wide and 150 feet long. Laige
oak and other trees grow in this cage,
and the birds live within its wire net
ting bounds in the utmost freedom.
The frame of the cage Is built of iron
pipes, which are covered over with
thin meshed netting.
Literary Note.
"You write too much." said the critic
to the author.
"But. my friend." replied the author,
"I've got to live."
"Low about your readers?"
"Ah. well, we were all born to die!"

Parried.
"And that young man kissed you on
the lips! Why didn't you offer him
I your band?" said the father.
'"Oh, I didn't have to. papa." said
j the girl. "He's going to ask you for
that."—Yonkers Statesman.

A Towel Story.
In a certain New England town the
manufacture a well known kind 1.1
towel, most efficient lor drying pur
poses. How that towel first happened
to bo made in the form which Iki
oroved so profitable to its makers I.
the subject of an amusing legend. l!
savors strongly of belonging to tb
"too good to be true" genus of anc<-
dotes ami is as follows;
Once Ihe machinery in the towel fac
tory. busily engaged in turning out a
very conventional brand of towel, sue!
Jenlj went wrong and began prncti
.•ally togo backward. There wa
mucli excitement. Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set to rights
again.
But—it was discovered that the tow
els turned out during that interval of
mechanical anarchy were of a texture
quite unrivaled for use as bath tow
els. At once the machinery was set
going backward again and has been
traveling in that direction ever since,
to the great delight of the stockholders

Times.
When Linen Is Translucent.
The whiteness and opacity of dry
lineu. as of writing paper, are due
mainly to the fact of repeated reflec
tions at the surface, so that the light is
wasted in these reverberations before
it can reach to any depth The body of
linen is a network of transparent fibers
not in optical contact, which intercept
tho light by repeatedly reflexing it.
Now. if the interstices of these libers
are tilled by a body of the same refrae
five index as the fibers themselves the
reflexion of the surface' is destroyed
and the linen is rendered more trans
parent. Water does this; hence linen
when wet is darker, but more trans
lucent, just as is the oiled paper used
for tracings by architects and engi
neers. The same holds good with ordi
nary glass and ground glass, tbe re
peated reflections of the latter making
it far less transparent. To a similar
cause are due the whiteness and opac
ity of snow, of salt and of pulverized
glass.
An Entertaining Catbird.
Nothing escapes the eye of our pet
catbird, for ho is curiosity person!
fled. He wants to know the why and
wherefore of everything that is a lit
tle strange and does not rest until he
has found out. When let out in a
room he will carefully examine every
nook and corner. He is an inveterate
joker and delights to play jokes on his
fellow prisoners, while his sense of
humor is almost human at times. The
pincushion is a constant wonder and
delight to him. He flies to it as soon
as let out of his cage and either pulls
the pins all out or drives them into
the cushion as far as possible. If he
pulls them out. be hops to the edge
of the table and drops them on the
floor, flirting his tall and uttering a
note of great satisfaction when they
strike tho floor.—Suburban Life.
How He Felt.
ne was an Englishman of the ultra
sort and recently arrived, but ho was
striving strenuously to catch up with
American idioms and New York slang
He had made some progress. He
loomed up in the breakfast room of
his hotel tho other morning after a too
convivial evening and encountered one
of his companions.
"How do you feel, old chap?" asked
the latter.
"Feel?" repeated the Englishman.
"Feel? Oh. yes. I see what you mean,
old fellow. Well, really, don't you
know. I feol like one and six "
"Like what?"
"Like one and six. as you chaps say
here. No! Ilobl on. there! 1 mean
30 cents, you know; feel like 30 cents
Yes."—New York Olobe.
Convenient.
"Providence." said the deacon, "sho
do look after de cullud race."
"now come?" demanded Brother
Dickey.
"Well, hit's disaway: De nigger baby,
ez dey say. walk too soon."
"SIIO do!" assented Brother Dickey.
"Dat makes hint bowlegged."
"Now you talk in'!"

A Brief Introduction.
Mark Twain said the only in trod ue

to him the right word in the right
place, a real inspiration, was as fol
lows;
"Ladies and gentlemen. I shall not
waste any unnecessary time in the in
troduction. I don't know anything
about this man—at least I only kuow
two things about him. One is that lie
has never been in prison, and the other
is I can't see why he hasn't."
An Illustration.
"Now, Harold." said the teacher to

of mind over matter."
After a moment's reflection Harold
replied; "I have to mind you. That's
what is the matter."—Chicago News

Women Suffer Agonies
from Diseased Kidneys
And Most Women Do This Not Knowing the
Real Cause of their Condition
These poor, suffering women
have been led to believe that their
misery of mind and body is entire
ly due to "ills of their sex." Usually
the kidneys and bladder are re
sponsible—or largely so. And in
such cases, the kidneys and blad
der are the organs, that need and
must have attention.
Those torturing, enervating sick
headaches, dragging pains in back,
groin and limbs, bloating and swell
ing of the extremities, extreme
nervousness or hysteria, listless
ness and constant tired, worn-out
feeling—are almost certain symp
toms of disordered and diseased
kidneys, bladder and liver.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills have, in thousands of cases,
been demonstrated as remarkably
beneficial in all such conditions of
female organism—affording the
most prompt relief and permanent
benefit.
As an illustration of what these
Pills will do, Mrs. P. M. Bray of
Columbus, Ga., writes that she was
very ill with kidney trouble, and
that she is now well—and that
these Pills are what cured her.
They are very pleasant to take,
and can in no case, produce any
deleterious effects upon the system
