THE COSSACKS. A Favorite Caton Story Through Which General. Are Criticised. L'nlike other Russian soldiers, the | Cossacks are very intelligent in mill- j tary matters and do not hesitate to I criticise their generals freely among themselves. They have bitter tongues ' and a genius sot satire. There is a fa- | vorite story which has been told in | Cossack camps tor generations. It is | handed down from father to son. the I names being changed to fit the mill- I tary commanders of the day. Freely j translated, It runs something like this: I The war god of Russia was asleep • tn heaven one day when he was awak- I ened by the confused clamor of two i hosts in battle on the earth beneath. I He shouted to the Angel Gabriel: “Look out and see what my Cos- . sacks are doing."

“They are fighting the Turks, and Prince Potemkin is leading them.” "Oh. that's all right,” said the war god. “He's a good man.” So the deity went asleep again, only to be awakened by another turmoil. “What's that?" he asked sleepily. •‘They are fighting the Turks again under Suwarow.” “He's a fine fellow. They'll do all right.” And so the story goes on Interminably around the campfire, each man adding the name of his favorite commander until at 1: .st one of them makes the Angel Gabriel mention the name of some general who happens to be regarded by the cks as a duffer. Then the next man makes the war go.l reply in accents of great alarm: “t h, my beloved Cossacks! They mu-t be nerisi. ng under that man! It is time I interfered. Hasten. Gabriel, and bring me my long boots, for I must go down at onee and save them.” TURTLE FLESH. The Handnoment of the Aniixialti Given the Worst Meat. No one really knows bow large a turtle may grow, but certainly there does not appear to be much if any exagger-

ation attached to the statements of Pliny and Strabo, who. describing the cbelonopl agl of the lied sea. say that they utilized the shells of the turtles , they had eaten ;ti toots to their huts and boats for their feeble voyages. Strange to say. the handsomest turtle. the hawk’s bill variety (Chelone imbricata). furnishes the worst flesh, being so strongly flavored with musk as to be almost uneatable. This peculiarity would seem to point to a diet of s ;uid since these mollusca are exceedingly musky. But it may not be out of place to remark here that tifrtle flesh, even of the best sorts. Is n> t nice, As Sam Weller’s pieman hoarsely whis- | I'. red. "it's the seas -nr.ig as does it.” A diet of turtle steaks or of hashed turtle or of turtle soup, au nature! would soon sicken any <ne but a say , age. For -:x’ <e or its equivalent in . most of the West India island towns I one can get a heaped plate of turtle ‘ steak with bread or jams or sweet potatoes ad lib. But I never knew even I a hungry sailor who wanted more than i one mal a wd kof it. for all its cheap- i ness. The fact is that in the cult of I turtle soup we are following (a long i way off. it is truei the example set by the Chinese, who love gelatinous soups and pay f. buloas prices for the nests of the sea swallows, the bolothuria, or sea slug, and the sharks’ fins because of their gelatinous qualities. — Frank T. Bullen in Leslie’s. Queer Drunken Manias. An English sheriff who died some years since kept a record of the curious casts of drunkenness that came under his observation. Several habitual cases had developed odd manias. One woman who l ad been arrested 1(17 times for drunkenness In twenty-eight years, had a mania for breaking windows when she was intoxicated. An old s< idler, suffering from a wound in the head, always stole Bibles when be was tipsy. Another man stole nothing but spades, while one woman’s fancy ran to shawls and another’s to shoes.

A man named Grubb was imprisoned seven times for stealing tubs, although there was nothing in Lis line of life to I make tubs particularly desirable to i him. — A barn for rent. Apply to Mrs. A. C.
