TONS OF TURTLES. AN ARTICLE OF FOOD THAT EPI CURES APPRECIATE. Where New York's Supply of Turtles Comes From and How the Animals Are Transported— Catching: Tur tles. Many tons of turtles are consuinod in New York every your in the shape or soups and steuks. The smaller ones, called the "babies," ure found to some ex tent on the Jersey and Long Island cousts and as far east as Massachusetts, but a large quantity of the market supplies comes from h lorida and the Indies. On the Florida const the turtles' eggs are also highly esteemed as a delicacy by the bears in the neighborhood. A female turtle will lay a pailful of eggs at a time. The small turtles also become the prey of fishes of all kinds. The large turtles do not care for their young particularly leaving them to shift for themselves. Turtles thrive uuder confinement. They are transported to New York with their feet tied. If their feet were free, they would kill themselves on the way. Some years ago the question was agita ted as to whether this method of trans portation was not cruel, but it was shown to the satisfaction of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that it was the most humane way to prevent them from tearing themselves to pieces. TKS turtles, before starting on their journey, are laid on their backs with saw dust pillows to prevent their heads from hanging down and to keep them in as comfortable a position as possible. The small turtles do not need the pillows. In winter, turtles are kept in warm rooms until they are wanted tor the market. Most of the turtles that reach New York go to Fulton Market, and their prices range from 6 to 20 cents a pound, according to their size and the demand for them. Over one hundred pounds, the price decreases in proportion to the turtle's size. Some of the turtles sent to New York weigh 300 or 400 pounds, and these invariably go to the hotels and Boupmakers to be canned. A turtle on the way from Florida Keys to New York will lose about three pounds in weight. The hawkbill and loggerhead turtles are often used in the place of the green turtle, but they do not possess the same quiet disposition. They are inclined to be ugly and will bite viciously. A green turtle, on the contrary, will not bite un less one puts his finger in its mouth, and then it will probably take the finger off. In warm weather tho turtles feed on marine growths, and gain from three to six pounds a week. Some years ago the experiment was tried of transporting them to Now York in water tanks, but on their arrival here they were so bruised and sore from threshing around the ship that they were unfit for consumption. A great many turtles are caught by men on board the small turtle schooners I that are engaged in the coral and sponge j industry in the West Indies. They arc captured in various ways. One way is to lie in wait on the shore on a moonlight evening, and as the turtle crawls up out of tho water to lay its eggs, it is rushed upon and overturned before it can get away. Once upon its back, the turtle is perfectly helpless. In trying to escape and reach the water when pursued, the turtle will throw vast quantities of sand with its hind flip pers in tho faces of its pursuers, almost blinding them. Another way to capture a turtle is to stretch a large net with large meshes across some inlet, having a man on watch with his hand on tho guy rope all the time. Whenever a turtle becomes en tangled in the net he can feel it strug gling. A boat is then put out immediately, and the ensnared turtle is tuken on board. Turtles nro also captured, but not fre quently, bv men who dive for them from the bow of a boat. A man is stationed on tho lookout, and when ho sees a j turtle asleep, either on the surface or a ; few feet below, he dives and grasps it by the foreflippers, presses it on his back with his knees and elevates its head, : causing it in its struggles to escapo to riso to the surface. Holding tho turtle in this position it is unable to dive, and swims rapidly on tho surface until it is tired out. Still another way to catch turtles is to spear them. This is done with a very light harpoon-like instrument, which just penetrates tho shell enough to hold the turtle, but not to injure it. The small turtle schooners take their cargoes to tho nearest ports from which | the turtles are shipped to tho United States and Europe. New York's main v supply comes from Key West, Florida, although large numbers of turtles come from Havana and Galveston,Texas. The Key West turtles are in tho best condi tion and ure tho most sought after. During the cold winter months, un less turtles ure well cared for on board a steamship whole shipments will fre quently die from exposure, us they ure very sensitive to tho Northern climate. In the summer months dealers usually keep their turtles in large IR# crawls, which are in the Eust River directly behind Fulton Murket, and feed them on watermelon rinds, cubbugo leaves, etc. In tho winter the turtles require special core, and their warm room is kept heated day and night. Turtles will frequently live out of water from four to six weeks. Three-hundred-pound turtles aro not rarities in Fulton Market, but they are not desirable, as very few hotels or restaurants can handle one of that size. Tho most desirable size weighs any where from 25 to 80 pounds.—[New York News. Romance of a Photograph. Apropos of boarded doors and windows, there is a romance uttached to one in Philadelphia. It seems that after reaching Bar Harbor, Madame remembered some thing which had been left behind in that darkened house. She wanted it, but her husband was travelling, so she could not ask him to go to tho houso for it. She had a nephew from the South visiting her. 11c offered to go to her home and get it for her. His aunt lived in ono of the row in which every houso is like its neighbor He had always recognized hers by its double row of black tiling across tho house, and took but little notice of the number. Alas ! when he reached Philadelphia • he had forgotten tho number, and there were two houses with painted bricks and next but one to each other. Which was the ono for which ho had tho koys ? He finally decided on ono—his keys fit ted, so ho felt safe. lie entered and went immediately to tho second floor. He now discovered that ho was not in tho right houso—it being furnished in a style entirely different from that which stamped his aunt's npartments. As he looked uroQnd his eyes rested upon a portrait of a girl. He gazed fascinated; it was the face of his ideal realized. He took it up, studied it, heh it oil at arm's length, drew it near, am at lust took his unknown from thedaintj frame und swore he would find the origi nal. Luckily, he got out of the house and no one saw him. He returned to Bar Harbor; he could get no information there; his aunt's neighbors were travel ling in Europe, but they had no daughter. He sought for her at all the summer ro sorts; at last he found her, und—well, the engagement is announced.—[Phila delphia Music and Drama. "CORN CUTTIN'." A Character Sketch from the Back woods of Eastern Kentucky. A few weeks ago I was traveling on horseback through Elliot County, East ern Kentucky, when emerging from a long stretch of unbroken forest, I sud denly came upon a field of weeds and corn at the left of the road. Riding on a little distance, I observed, sitting on the top rail of tho budly crippled fence, an old man. He had a long beard,which would have been white had not a constant bath of amber kept it colored a brown ish yellow. His nose was loug and humped itself into a high thin position, separating his small eyes that seemed trying persistently to get together. He had an old white wool hut that rested its rear section on tho occipital division of his cranium, while the right side of it sank down und took rest on his fan-like ear. From numerous mouth-liko rents in all departments of his old hat, the bristly hair protruded like the brushes of a sign painter. His heels rested on the third ruil from tho top, thus throwing his knees up to tho neighborhood of his chest. On his knee rested his elbow, and in his long, bony palm, hung his chin. Two hounds sat beneath him, and gazed up at their lord and master with worshipful eyes. "How do you do, old geutleman?" was my greeting, delivered in a tone of smil ing suavity. "Do jis' about az I please this 'ere week, stranger." "Don't you do as you pleaso all tho time?" I returned, laughing. "Not of the ole woman knows herself, and I rather jedge she do." "Where übouts do you live?" "On top o' this fence at the present writin'." "Is that your corn ovor there?" "Part uv it iz, also a part o' tho woods." "Who does the other part belong to?" "Thur's several other parts." "Well, who do they belong to?" "Mostly to tho hogs—cain't keep the dud burn erectors ter wait fer their part till it's gathered." "I see a lady cutting up corn over there." "No, yc don't." "Why, my eyes deceive mo very much if I don't see a lady cuttiug up corn." "Wal, yer eyes decebo ye thin; thar's a gal over thar cuttin' oft* corn stalks." "Well, ha, ha! it's all the same." "No, tain't. A lady's er lady, a gal's a gal, corn's corn, an' corn stalks iz corn stalks." "What 'gal' is it, as you call her? " Don't know thout she's mine uu' me old woman's." " Who helps her cut ? do you ? " "Sartinlj', 1 hep by my influeuce. Sah, I keep braggine on her, tell her ef she keeps improvin' she'll bo sarchod artor by all the most likely young fellers in the county that knows what a kind uv gals makes tho best wives." "Old man, to be serious with you, I think it mighty strange that a young girl should be put out to such hard work as that." " It do look a leetle strange formostof 'em iz too luzy ter do it. Ye wouldn't expect ter see er man liko ine, er true gentleman, at sich work hissef, wudye?" • " Well, I don't think it tho proper thing for a young girl to be at such work, I'm quite sure." " Wal, thot may be, stranger, but see bur, lookeo how it iz: The gal must do it, 'cose it's this er way, strangor; the old woman's down at the house, both legs broke, un' can't git out jist now ter cut it hcrsef."—[Epoch. A Hen Twelve Days Without Food. The editor recently had a load of hay thrown into n crib on top of soino other hay, and without knowing it a chicken hen wus caught aud covered up by it, supposed to have been on her nest. .lust twelve days later she was discovered in there, softly singing some chicken melo dies. Her voice was low, und wo iinagino had a pathetic sadness uhout it, though what the lines she was singing wero will never be known, as we have not studiod tho chicken dialect. She was a fine game hen, however, and wo could'not dis cover that there was anything in her language or tone that indicated her wil lingness to "go back on" her blood. She wus rescued, and after drinking water for about two hours she joined her friends, and has since been as cheerful us ever.—[Eutaw (Ala.) Mirror. Hats Off ! One of the simplest instincts of good manners would seem to bo that a man should uncover his head while eating his dinner with his family; yet it is pretty certain that the | first gentlemen of England two centuries ago habitually wore their hats during that ceremony, nor is it known just when or why the practice was changed. In Pepys' famous Diary, which is the best manual of manners for its period, we read, under date of September 22, IGG4: "Home to bed, having got a strange cold in my head, by Hinging off iny hat at dinner, and sitting with the wind in my neck." In Lord Clarendon's essay on the decay of respect paid to ago ho says that in his young days he never kept his hat on before those older than himself except at dinner. Lord Clarendon died in 1G74. That the English members of Parliament sit with their huts on during the session is well known, and the same practice prevailed at the early town meetings in New England. The pres ence or absence of the hat is, therefore, simply a conventionality, and so it is with a thousand practices which are held, so long as they exist, to be the most un changeable and matter-of-course atfuirs. [Harper's Bazar. Hypnotism in Medicine. The medical profession of England seems to be taking an interest in the possibilities of hypnotism as a medical agent. It is reported that an audience of 2000 physiciuns recently ussembledat the Westminster Aquarium, London, to witness some experiments in hypnotism, and that an American professor and a German wero appointed a committee to arrange for making experiments at a number of hospitals to test the value of hypnotism as an anaesthetic. —[Picayune.

One of tho wisest of late Boston en terprises, and one that meets a long-felt need, is the new home for girl students which has just been fitted up on the cor ner of Huntington avenue and Gainsboro street by Mr. Albert L.

The purpose of "The Burtol" is to give to girl students who have no home in Boston or vicinity all possible com forts, and oven many luxuries, at an ox ponso less than is necessary now to pro vide them uncomfortable and inadequate quarters in private houses.

How many women know that thcro is one little tell-tale in her drawing room that will number her years as accurately us the family Bible? Let her light tho gus iu the upper chandeliers and, stuml ing directly under it. look into the mir ror. She will see every sharp line in her face accentuated, every hollow in .her cheeks, every lino under hor eyes graven deeper. Tin? unshaded light from the chandelier fulling directly upon her face is what does it. When women design and build their homes, as well as live and sutler in them, there will be no upper lights to make them old before their years do. But until that time comes they will havo to compromise with the evil, but still endure it with what mitigations thev can devise. Not long ago an in genious woman put tho globes in her drawing room in what she called "petti coats" of pale pink silk, and saw ten years slip away us she stood under them for the first" trial. This is the way she fashioned these beauty fietticoats. Sewing the ends of a ong straight piece of the silk together she ran a narrow pink ribbon through it at top and bottom, leaving a tiny ruffle at the top. Putting the silk upon the globe she drew it closely above (fortu nately the globe had a slight flaring edge at the top, muking a neck übout which to tie the ribbon) and then gathering it smoothly she brought tho lower part down not only to the lower part of the globo hilt clear down to tho brass bracket und tied it closely just above the stop cock. This is the trick. It is the un shaded light that comes down through the open circle at the lowor part of the globe that works the mischief in a wo man's luce. By gathering the silk down to the bracket below the globe, tho harsh light is cut off and the rose pink rays that fall softly down only round out and tint and freshen. Pink and deep yellow are the most satisfactory colors to use. Let any woman beware how she experiments with blue or bright red or green.—[New York Advertiser. HOME LIFE OF TURKISH WOMEN. People in general have an idea that Turkish women absolutely do nothing that is either useful or ornamental aside from the decoration of their own persons, but that is not altogether true, as my residence of over a year in their country taught me, for they are really dexterous witli the needle und do work which is as line as that done by the Sisters in the convonts or that of the wives of the feudal noblemen of olden times. The favorite pastime of the Turkish women is the bath, which brings together the wives and slaves of ull the well-to-do Turks, and is like a picnic of school children. Those wives, most of them very young —some, indeed, not over twelve and four teen years old—take their lunch along, and they oat und steam, plunge and splash, and play pranks upon each other in the wildest glee the whole day long. No fear of an angry husband haunts their minds, for they are not expected to do anything, and their husbands very rarely enter the harems before 0 o'clock By this time they are all back, rosy and tweet from their bath. At tho baths there is often an old woman who has the faculty of reluting stories, and she is eagerly listened to by tho grown-up children; and these stories are generally of the " Arabian Nights " order, full of genii, beautiful ladies, and charming youths and jealous husbunds. Many a lesson is given as to how to out wit the most jealous of men—a lesson they are neither slow to leurn nor practice The way they were watched and con fined always made ine think of the wo man who cautioned her innocent children not to put blue beans in their noses while she was out. The magic lantern enter tainments amuse these ignorant caged birds. Dancing girls, singing and play ing the lute, playing with the buDies, and occasionally quarrelling with each other, take up some of their time; a weekly tour of the bazaars, and once in a while a visit to the harem of some other Turk, still leave much time on their hands that the rare calls of their husbands, the eating of sweetmeats or smoking of cigarettes cannot fill, and so they give their poor little minds to fancy work. They very seldom learn how to read, or perhaps books would help them through, and they never make their own clothes, though they do sometimes deco rate them elaborately after others hav# made them. They have frames mude on which th*ir embroidery is worked, and on velvet, satin, or that beautiful and durable Broussa gauze they embroider with ex quisite fineness und taste. The most of their embroidery is done in durable and udmirably arranged colors, in subdued tones, which seem to me remarkable ill women who are so fond of brilliant pri mary colors and ill-assorted contrasts. They have no patterns, but work out graceful and beautiful fantasies, and all done with the most extreme care and fineness, requiring patience and extra good eyesight.—[Pittsburg Bulletin. FASHION NOTES. Military capes are made of fur. Fichus of "real" lace are stylish. English coats of box cloth are worn The girls are wearing the Alpine hat. Jewelled toe pieces and heels are made for evening shoes. The chatelaine watch now hangs pen dent near the shoulder. A new thing for the neck of tho fair is a collarette of crane's feathers. Silver-gilt spoons with enamel bpwls, and silver-gilt bowls with enamel han dles, come in the same sets. Little racks are sumptuous in brass, Dresden china, Berlin faience and sil ver. They arc large, useful and orna mental. Silver cornucopias with perforated borders hold silken bags that close with cords and tassels. They are intended for bonbons. White satin ribbon is a great deal used on elaborate hats and bonnets of black or colored velvet. It forms rosette clus ters, square bows, a torsade around tho crown, high loops and strings that lap under the chin und arc pinned high ut the back. Now does the wise virgin freshen up her last year's silk skirts with exquisite millinery in the way of dinner bodices or concert waist. They pnuy be made of any rich gleaming stuff and decorated ac cording to the vagaries of the most fan tastic caprice. The newest evening gowns for young women are black chiffon or inoussoline do soie. embroidered with a color and trimmed with velvet the shade of the color. These dresses may be lined with black or a tint, according to the fancy of the purchaser. There are still some dresses made with foundation skirts, in spite of the popu larity of the fin-dc-siecle or bell skirt. Many of the bell skirts, however, are ar ranged over a foundation skirt, though this is not the orthodox manner of mak ing them. Some dressmakers fancy they hang better mounted in this way, rather than when simply lined. Black satin bonnets are among the re cent importations. They are faced with white, edged with jet, and trimmed with white applique lace, Russian sable and feather aigrettes. They come in small shapes, and also in the new flaring direc toire bonnets, with rosettes of almond green satin inside the brim, or with trim mings of white satin ribbon. Charmingly effective is black lace over white. Dresses of this description are, as a rule, demi-trained and much nar rower than formerly. They are mude without draping and so nrrangod that tho skirt and bodice are separate. Homo of them have the flouncing on tho front and sides put on as a double skirt with one bounce much deeper than the other. Tho latest "sheath" skirt is several de grees more absurd and uncoinfortuble looking than any of the models that have yet appeared, handing the figure tightly with not an inch to spare. A gored seuin goes up the front, and there are gores at the sides, which remove every particle of fullness in the skirt front. At the ex treme back a few inches of fullness ter inntes in a short train. This skirt has even narrower gores than the bell-skirt, favored of Dame Fashion. Artificial Gents, The progress of chemistry bids fair to lower the value of nearly every article of jewelry, elementary substances not al ways excepted, if it is true that diamonds consist of pure carbon. Rubies have been produced in away that can no longer be called imitation, being an al most perfect equivalent of Nature's handiwork. Emeralds, too, have been compounded by a variety of artificial methods, and several European special ists uppeur to be on the close track of a secret for the artificial production of pearls. A jeweller of Berne, Switzer land, tells his experience with two stran gers who asked the favor of a private in terview, and then handed him three good sized pearls, with a request to point out the one they had reason to consider a counterfeit. After a close and careful inspection, the expert admitted his in ability to distingush the three specimens, except by a slight difference in shupe. One of his visitors then produced an electric pocket apparatus emitting u brilliant light, and by means of a micro scopic test convinced the lapidary that one of tho pearls was really nothing but a clever imitation—not a glass bulb with a pearly lining, but a small ball of some unknown, but apparently homogeneous, substance. The strangers then left without explaining thfe ultimate purpose of their visit. Tho glass variety of arti ficial pearls, too, have boon marvellously improved by a process which removes tho vitreous appearance and consists in ex posing the glass bulbs for a short time to the vapor of hydroHuoric acid.—[New York Voice. AUTUMN LEAVES. Simply m Chemical Change In Che Coloring Matter. Donald Mitchell, in one of his de lightful essays, has characterized the brilliant display which marks the progress of fall as the "Autumn miracle." Certainly there is much about this transformation of the foliage, this lavish spread and swing of color, that stamps it as such. The touches of this mysterical painter for this year are already seen on the neighboring hills and wood. The pale greens., and yellows, usually the first in order, have appeared, and the flush of the pinks in many places be gin to deepen to a dead red. Science, with its learned explanations, has never been able to efface all the ro mance which surrounds this change. There is something interesting, to be sure, in the relations between the fruit and the leaf. They are really twin brothers, it seems, only the one has been given better opportunities than the other, and so makes the earlier show in the world. Their course in life, however, is the same. They mature, change color, and then fall, alike. This fancied touch of the painter is only a chemical change in the coloring matter of the chloro phyl. and the flush on the cheek ot the peach is not at ail different from that on the autumn leaf. This is science, but it does not afford half the pleasure that did the thought that all wa9 due to the sturdy breath of the north wind. Ilowever, cold weather has little to do with this work of transformation. One of the most brilliant autumnal displays in the White Mountains was that ol some dozen years ago. The whole sides of many of the hills seemed to have been converted into sheets ot llame. Heightening the effect waß a ground covered lightly with the fall of first snow, the scarlet hues of the foliage flashing within this chaste setting. The explanation was that the cold woaMier had set in unusually early, while lie leaves had been late in ripening. Leaves are attached to their stems by a series of thickened cells. As these grow old and harden, the loaf is released and thus falls. Oak leaves, however, are not subject to this change of color or falling in the autumn. They are like certain kinds of apples; ripening has no effect upon their appecrance. Oak leaves this season present a dead and de cayed apj:aranee, while all theii neighbors are flashing in the brightest raiment. Boston every year sends delegations to New Hampshire to wit ness the autumn miracle. Notable in their devotions are many of the membersof the Appalachian Mountain Club. Preparations are now being made for the fall pilgrimage.—Boston Journal. Corrosion of Girder* In Tunnels. A number of steel girders in the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel extending from Collowhill street to Parish, in Philadelphia, have corroded to such an extent during the five years in which they have been exposed to the smoke, gases and dampness within the tunnel, that it has been found neces sary to take some means to prevent a further loss of strength from this cause. Each grider is, therefore, be ing thoroughly scraped and all of the rust has been removed, and is being covered by fire brick, which is so care fully placed in position that the gird ers are to all intents and purposes hermetically sealed from any outside agency which would tend to corrode them. This work is being carried on without interfering with the usual traffic throuirh the tunnel.
