POINTS ABOUT TURTLES. They Xre Not So Mticli I.ike One Au- , other a* Many I’e-.t;,le Tlilnk. 11l moist places in the fields and , meadows may be found the wood tor I toise, a sober sort of turtle of a brown ' or reddish brown color above, the shell ; having a ridge in its middle along the I back, says Nature Study. Each [date of the shell underneath Las a black blotch. In mud holes and In small ponds, of ten t"-lit.g on a log or stone above the ■ water, one may almost always find the 1 painted turtle, which lias the margin! of the shell n. n-1. e,l r:sl whim ttie shell i linden* *aili is yell iw. These turtles' are not ■ easily captured as the wood i turtles, for they :ir. rather timid and I often slip into the water when ap , proaehed. but with patience and in ( genuity they eau l-e outwitted at last I and one secured for examination. It will be ram good fortune to find a i turtle nt a tucal and sen him hold Ids I food, sometimes with one fore foot.' sometimes with the other, but never with liotii at once, as eats and dogs often do. After watching him for awhile try to ' find whether he always draws his tall ‘ Ju on the same l side of his ls>x house. . Experiment with the* same turtle over and over; then sometimes try other tur- ! ties in the same way and find out for i yours-df whether turtles vary in this matter of hiding away their tails. This ' is more important tbnn you can imag | ine. if all the animate and plant* of the same sort were always the same then 1 would never be any change in the living world. Count the toes on the fore feet and on the hind feet, noticing whether there arc the same' number till around. As you find other turtles, particularly in different parts of the country, if you travel about, or in such museums ns y ou can visit, see what differences you can find in this matter of the numlier and arrangement of turtles' toes. It is not so silly ns It may appear to some people. Notice also Hint some turtle** have webbed feet, to enable them to swim the better. Manage In some way to o|s*n tile turtle’s mouth ami find whether It lias teeth, or only hard ami rather sharp cutting edges along the Jaws. Touch the eyes gently with a small slick and see the turtle draw a thill skin over them. This is the thin! eyelid, the same ns In hens, pigeons nod birds generally. Notice that the feet and tail are covered with scale**; then sonic* time exam inc the foot of a lien or pigeon and see that they are scaly also. In this matter of the third eyelid mid the scales the birds mid the turtles have features In common. I'crliaps some time* you will learn how it happened and will find It a very Interesting story.—New York Tribune.

A FOREIGN PRODUCT. America Has Set Yet Developed the •'l’ertect Spe.idthrlfl.” Uneconomical aud extravagant as we are. we have not yet developed the “perfect spendthrift” as bo is to be found on the other side of the Atlantic. It seems at times as if he must lie a product of an older, a more “effete” Civilization. The man, either young or old. who runs through a large fortune quickly is a rarity with us. High as our standard of living and of the ordinary expense of living is. our standard of what might be called profligate extravagance is by no means so high. Os course pretty large sums are wasted in various forms of dissipation here as elsewhere. Hut that is not the point. To take the single item of gambling, bow often do we bear of a man’s being ruined by it here? No doubt we hear stories of tremendous sums lost and WOii. biK Bu'.i: r'iiins do not mrnrn either “to make or to break” anybody For men whose incomes are reckoned by the hundreds of thousands or millions to play hundred dollar poker is no great recklessness. But liow often do v.e see young men of the small salaried sort punting SLOfiO or $2,000 at a time at baccarat, as yon can any day in France? We have not the instinct to save and scrape for eleven months in the year and then shell out ail our savings in a fortnight. I once met in France a young man of old provincial family. Legitimist to the backbone, proud and very poor. He was about twenty-one. modest, thoroughly “correct,” as good. Innocent a young fellow as one would care to meet, the sort of young man who seems to have been overlooked and left out in the cold by French fiction, though by no means n great rarity In French real life. I happened to ask him one day If bo ever played cards. He said no. he did not care for that sort of thing, and tiesides his means would not permit it. “I never go Into a gambling saloon,” said he, “or into the cardroom of a club. Hometimes I may Join In a little game of jaiker among friends just to pass the time, but only a very small gam“. never more than a louis limit.” A louis limit! I wonder what clubman (out of the millionaire class) in New York. Boston, Philadelphia or any of our larger eastern cities would call four dollar poker a “very small" game! —Scribner's A Hot I’ropliecy.

Hotel at Cedar Rapids Burned and Nine Guosts Kara Crematad. Flimsy structure Proved a Verita-’.s Death-Trap When the Flames Get a Gcod Start. •It Was Like a Dore Fiet re of Irferr.o Sprung to Life," Said a Cpecta'.or. Cedar Rapids. la.. Fob. 21.—V’it’.i the Investigation which followed the destruction of the Clifton hotel at an early hour yesterday morning not f" > completed, it is definitely assured that nine of the guests were cremated and that injuries were inflicted upon fortytwo persons, who were scorched, or forced to jump to the frozen street from second and third-story windows. I Alter an ail night search in the debris I (our bodies have been recovered. It i' ! now believed that '■ Ur i od:es yet remain in the ruins of the hot, w.-ich Is said to have been a flimsy structure, filled with delegates to the state Young Men’s Christian association conv- ntion and the district convention of the Knights of Pythias. The hotel register was destroyed, thus making it difficult to ascertain the num r oi missing persons. The flames started in a pile of nib- , bish in the basement, presumably ig nited by defective electric light wires. The night-clerk was on the third floor when the cry of fire, raised by a bell--1 boy, startled him. He took up the cry. and in an instant the hallways were chok.d with frightened guests. A rush was made for the stairway' It was then that the crowd already collected In the street heard heartrending cries of anguish and desperation for the fire, feeding ravenously on the tin-der-like material of the lower floor, had completely cut off escape. There followed a stampede for the windows, the only means of exit left The street below was now filled with a crowd scarcely lees frantic than the despairing ones in the frst-burnlng building. "It was like a Dore picture cf Inferno sprung to life.” snid one ator in describing the scenes. "The flames. . looking blood-red from reflection against the snow, lit up the pale, drawn faces of the people in the windows with a glow that was unearthly.” The victims were literally driven by the flames to jump. Nearly every one of them lingered till the last moment, urged by the people below to wait as long as possible in the hope of assistance. Then a cry would tell that the fire had reached them or the smoke had made it impossible to breathe and one after the other jumped, some of them to the street, and some, more fortunate, to roofs of the buildings adjoining In a short space of time the street was filled with men and women, bruised, battered, broken-limbed and half-crazed. All were in their night garments. Some who jumped owe their lives to the fact that their falls were broken by telegraph wires. A number of the guests declared that they stumbled over prostrate bodies as they rushed to the windows. The flames were literally chasing them and the smoke made it almost impossible to breathe. Three Children Cremated. ■Uhrichsville. 0., Feb. 21.—Three young children of A. J. Ransom of Scio were burned to death yesterday in a fire which destroyed the house. The children had be- n left alone I y the mother, who was at a neighbor's. An
