"Terrapin famine, you' amy? La,

to acara da New York people! Dere'a
no danger of a terrapin famine, even if
every diamond-back down Chesapeake
bay was to be stewed in hia own juice,
and nary a one left for seed."
It waa Emelige Jonea who spoke, in
the sanctuary of her own kitchen, and
everybody wbo knows of John Chnm
berlin's gaHtronomlc glories will bow
to the dicta of Emetine Jones. This
paragon of the culinary art was Chara
herliu's chief cook at the height of his
career, when presidents resorted to his
famous hotel at the national capital,
and senators In the resturnnts were as
thick as buttons on the bellboys.
"There are three kinds of fresh wuer
terrapin and five kinds of salt water
terrapin," she said, slinking her head
with the nod of authority, "and they
are all good to eat, all of 'cm. Hut most
folks don't know it. und, what's more,
they wouldn't know how to cook 'em
and dress 'em and serve 'em. even if
they did know it."
The astounding news that there nre
aeven other kinds of terrapin that can
be dressed and served and eaten with
gusto even should the world famous
diamond back actually become extinct
seemed to be worthy of the most care
ful Investigation and verification.
These are:
(A.) Fresh water terrapin, sometimes
called tortoise: 1. The lettered tor
toise, found all over the country, named
for the hieroglphical markings on its
shell. 2. The chicken tortoise, found
far and wide in fresh water ponds and
streams, and disrespectfully spoken of
as the "slider." 3. The quaker tortoise,
known by its long claws. These are all
good to eat.
(B.) Their salt water brethren, the
true terrapins, are: 1. The box ter
rapin, found all along the North Ameri
can coasts. 2. The diamond hack,
found from New York to TexnR In
brackish streams near the sea shore.
X The smooth terrapin. 4. The red
belly, or red leg, found from New York
to Virginia, and recognized by its ser
rated jaws. 5. The scabra, or rough
terrapin, called the yellow-belly In the
south, and tolerably plenty from Vir
ginia to Florida waters. N. Y. Sun.
FIND HIDDEN TREASURE..
Spanlah Coins Over KM) Years Old 1)1.
covered In Florida.
Some negroes engaged recently in re
moving the coquina walls of an old
Spanish cusn that had been demolished
io make room for u modern structure
found a few Spanish doubloons in a
little niche that had been cut into the
wall. The date on one of the coins
showed it to be ICO years old. It is sup
posed that the coins were placed in tho
hole in the wall during the Seminole
Indian war of half a century ago.
Every man was his own banker in those
days, and hid his gold in the walls,
chimneys, under the houses, mid those
wbo believed that ghosts would keep
bad people away hid their gold in the
graveyard. Periodically there is a re
vival of gold hunting, many of the
early settlers believing that the old
town is rich in gold deposits, und when
ever an old building is to be torn down
many volunteer to "work for just whut
they can find." Within the past few
years several sums of gold have been
dug up on Annstasin island, opposite
this city, by fishermen. This led to or
fanied parties, whose prospecting was
guided by visions from clairvoyants,
who can discover fortunes for others,
but not for themselves.
That there is a great deal of hidden
treasure in Florida there can be little
doubt, but the secret of the hiding
place died with the Spaniurds who
were killed by the ferocious Seminoles
and the pirates who infested this coast
in earlier times.
The crews of wrecked vessels buried
their money along the coast and were
either killed by the hostile Indians or
fled for their lives. Iu either event,
the treasure remained buried and its
location forgotten or the sailors never
returned.
The stories of hidden treasure on tho
roast of Florida and in this ancient
city are not based upon stories of early
Spanish residents, as many lucky iinds
will testify. An exploring party, under
the guUe of tourists, recently took a
trip down the coast, touching at various
islands and putting in at the inlets, os
tensibly fishing and hunting. While
this is part of .the programme, they are
out more for profit than for pleasure.

In a vast majority of cases the crim
inal who has received more than ono
sentence la beyond the poaJbllity of
reform. It la probable that nearly all
criminals are Incurable, at least un
der the methods of the ordinary pen
itentiary, aaya Leslie's Weekly. What
the system employed at the Elmira
prison may do it will require a longer
time to determine. In any event, the
principle of Indeterminate sentences,
if applied under the direction of a body
of enlightened aad competent men,
would work no hardship along with
inch a measure of prison reform as the
conditions warrant. If a man is
doomed to continued imprisonment, as
the chronic insane are, it is bis own
fault or the fault of his inheritance.
Those who hove the disposition and
the power to reform can open their
own doors to freedom. The instances
arc many where u confirmed criminal
has been released at the expiration of
bis term only to commit a murder.
Nearly all such criminals immediately
renew their former associations and
habits. With the almost positive knowl
edge that this will be the ease, the
court that determines the sentence
must be conscious of affording only a
brief respite to society from the mur
derous or felonious ussuults of the con
victed criminals. It is doubtful if half
way measures of reform in this mat
ter are of any value. As long as the
change in the law means only the con
ditional release of exceptional convicts
selected by the courts there is not like
ly to be the same machinery for learn
ing the condition of the convicts that
we should have if all sentences were
without term. The failure of condition
al release, or, if not its absolute failure,
its inability to show any striking re
Eiilts, is calculated to lessen the chances
of the adoption of a complete system
based on a scientific study of the sub
ject. According o one paper read dur
ing the exhibition, the penal code of
Italy is intended to inflict rigorous im
prisonment only on the incurably vi
cious. This is a reasonable distinction
between chronic criminals and those
who may lie regarded as reformuble
and is a first step toward the perpet
ual seclusion of the Incurables. The
bleu should he less shocking in the
tast; of the criminal than in the case of
the lunatic, unless we regard them both
as the unhappy victims of an inherit
ance they cannot escape.
A clergyman is sometimes at u dis
advantage, in that be cannot very well
relieve his feelings by the use of strong
language. Hut if he be quickwitted,
says the Troy Times, it frequently hap
pens that he can accomplish much the
same result by proxy. At the acntial
dinner of the Massachusetts Uume Pro
tective association in Boston the other
evenig Uev. D. J. C. Junes, of West
Newton, related the story of the good
parson who was fishing with Philip I).
Armour, and in the middle of the day,
when it was hot and they became thirsty,
they repaired to a cool, shady nook
on u mossy bank. The parson produced
a corkscrew to open the bottle that had
been provided. The bottle slipped and
was lost. They looked at each other iu
agonized silence until the good doctor
implored Mr. Armour to "Speak For
Cod's sake, speak." What Mr. Armour
said can be imngined.
There nre tricks in all trades, of
course, but the hustlers who handle
rich women are about as tricky as they
make them, according to the New York
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. At a well known milliner's the
different saleswomen all employ the
very cxclusivcs as their means of de
coy. A hat will be tried on and the
saleswoman will say: "Most becom
ing to you. Mrs. John Jucob Astor Was
In here a half hour ago and insisted
upon having this hat sent home to her.
I persund-.'d her not to take it. It is
bo much more becoming to you." tien
erully the hat is sold. This is an ab
solutely true experience, and one that
has been rcpeuted more than once,
with good results to the head of the
shop.
There is an authentic, case, reports
the Chicago Evening News, of a bril
liant young woman, happily married,
who had a long illness, the result of
which was that when she recovered she
had lost every recollection of her life
from the day of her marriage, inclusive
of the ceremony. The rest of her life
up to that point she remembered clear
ly. At first she pushed her husband
and her child from her in alarm, but
her parents and friends have convinced
her she is married and has a son. She
believes their word of necessity, though
sho has never recovered her memory
of that one year which is lost to her.
