Everybody who visits Home must ex.
poet to be swindled ntid disappointed.
There nre ninny Illusions, and yon will
be greatly disappointed when you op
proiich them nnd tlicy fade away. You
Will be swindled by shopkeepers, hack
inen, peddlers mid everybody that you
have anything to do with, nnd the ben
gars will annoy you with their persist
ence like the fakirs and flower girls
thnt follow you upon the street, but all
this Is a part of the experience of ev
erybody who comes here, only such an
noyances nre greater In Homo than In
most other places.
Hogging is a profession, ns in every
other Italian city, uhd the profits nro
much larger, because there nre more
strangers to nppenl to. None but Inex
perienced beggars ever approach a tin

useless, but they save nil their energy
nrd pathos for strangers, particularly
Americans und Kngllsh, whom they
follow with the grentest persistence.

"1 like do 'pearance o' dat turkey

The dusky marketmnn seemed strange

"How could I what arrangements

after a pause.
"Kiisy terms 'nough," said the mar

"A note o' hand," repented Mr. John
son, brightening np nt once. "Do you
mean I writes It out and pays some
time when" Hut his hope In this glo
rious prospect was rudely shattered by
the marketman.
"A note o' hand menus in dls ease,"
be said, with disheartening clearness,

Mr. Johnson, and I hands you de tur

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPIN.
Fnrairrlr Iteaplaed, They Are Blow
Considered a Dellcarr.
Itnlf a century or so ago diamond
bi.-k terrapin were fed to slaves nnd
bogs. Today they nro the rarest deli
cacy known to the eplcurlnn world,
says the Philadelphia North Am'erlcan.
Then they sold for $1 a barrel, ami
laborers, when hiring out, specified
thnt they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice n week. To
day n barrel Is cheap nt f.SOfl, nnd mil
lionaires travel hundreds of miles for
a chance to feast on this most dell
clous of all meats.
Of course thlil menus genuine dia
mond backs. There oe many Imita
tions. Every first class tistnurant Is th
country features "terrnpln a la Mnry
bmd" on Its menu, but In not one case
out of h hundred Is the renl terrnpln
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to lie Maryland's
choicest dish. Instend be Is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or
"North Carolina goldens."
The reason Is simple. Ilestnurnteurs
don't serve real diamond backs be
cause they can't get them. The world's
total terrnpln population does not ex
ceed 23,000 of legal size, and these nre
confined to the shores of the Chesa
peake bay, the only place thnt produces
them.
Halllmore, I'hllndclphla and New
York enjoy a monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way ncross the
Illue Hldgo. The epicure unfortunnte
enough to be born In Chicago or St.
Louis must either come east or forego
the Joys of terrapin.
To select a real diamond back nmn
teurs should be guided by these distin
guishing nnd characteristic markings:
It Is of a greenish, dark olive color,
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plnte which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plnte on both shells.
The sides of the head arc a dirty white,
sprinkled with smnll black spots. Tho
bottom shell is of whitish yellow. '
The males nre much Inrger than tho
females nnd have the concentric strenks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male enn
be distinguished by his toenails, which
arc much longer than those of the female.

The common Hen leaps 200 times Its
own length. To show like agility n
man six feet tall would have to leap n
distance of 1,200 feet. The cheese
mite Is nliout one-qunrter of nn Inch
In length, yet It has been seen to take
the tlii of Its tall in Its mouth nud
then, letting go with n Jerk, to lenp out
of n vessel six Inches In depth. To
equal this n mini would bnve to Jump
out of a well from a depth of 144 feet.
And equally strange things nro found
among the plants nnd vegetables. A
well known student of nnture once
tried the growing force of a squash.
When It was eighteen days old nnd
niensured twenty-seven Inches In cir
cumference, lie fixed a sort of harness
around It. with n long lever attached.
The power of the squash was measur
ed by the weight It lifted, the weight
being fixed to the lever. When It wns
twenty days old. two days lifter the
harness was fixed on It, It lifted sixty
pounds. On the nineteenth day It lift
ed 5,000 pounds.

The printing of the Ilible Is the most
strictly guarded work In existence, a
fact which appears strange until we
reflect on the mischief an Inaccurate
ItlMe might bring nbout. Tho king's
printers nnd the two universities of
Oxlord nnd Cambridge give to the
world all the Illhles printed In the
t'nlted Kingdom except some printed
by special license. A few years ago
the question arose whether the word
"spirit" In Matthew Iv, 1, and Mark I,
12. should have a capital "S," it having
been previously printed with a smnll
one, nud, nil hough the word was obvi
ously wrongly printed. It wns not until
nfter the ruling powers at the unlvorf I
ties and the king's printers had met In
solemn council thnt leave wns given to
use the capital letter.

The Poor Mttte Fellow.
The street Arab lives by bis wits, if
he lives nt all well. Two youngsters
who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly.
One of these boys is much larger than
the other, and a crowd was attracted
to the corner of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummellug the little boy. At the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded by
sympathetic onlookers. Several per
sons, pitying tho "poor little fellow,"
gave hliu nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that tHe "poor lit.

trict They got into conversation,
which soon turned on the snhject of
music, and the general, who did not
know hla companion, expressed a most
enthusiastic preference for thnt of It
aly. "1 can hardly go so fnr with you,"
replied the other. "For me, art hns no
frontiers, and I give German music
the preference over Italian."
"Indeed, sir," said tlio general testi
ly. "For my part, I would give all tho
German operas In the world for one
net of 'Klgoletto.' " , .
"You really must excuse me from
following you any further on this

Tho Chief Sense.
All the groat families of living things
hnvo a dominant sense. Wo lend our
life by sight and make artificial lights
to render darkness tolerable, lint the
creature whom next to ourselves we
prefer, the dog, lives in a very different

of many other quadrupeds, is tho very
one we most neglect, tho sonso of smell.'
The dog will track his master, never
lifting up bis head to search the dis
tance; often with hair falling over bis
eyes he follows on, not troubling him
self to shake it aside.
