Ctflerade TartUm. A gentlwiuau from ,Moutny tells a rather interesting storj'alMmt a pair of wapping-turtleo. He U an old plainsman, and a feW days ago took his shotgun and went over to Lagle Tail for the purpose of getting a few ducks. Ar- ' rived at the creek he found no ducks, but saw two of those great fresh water turtle, met with more frequently in Eastern ponds than in Colorado, and apparently weighing about 40 pounds each. They are .-. very shy bird, their heads popping into the shell" upon the slight-' est alarm, but being a good shot the hunter succeeded in blinding both of thorn, and bothering them so that thoy were easily caught and dragged out. Snappers are very active, and, unlike a soa turtle, being provided with long and strong legs, can turn themselves after being placed upon their hacks. Their captor had no way of securing them, and would get only a few steps away in the search for a piece of wood out of which to make stakes when his captives would be going at a turtle 2 -AO gait toward .the creek. The contest botween instinct and reason waB kept up more than an hour and a half, much to the disadvantage of reason, at the end of which time a ranchman living near by came along, and assisted the hunter in taking tho turtles to his home. Hero they were put in a sheep pen having a fence about three foet high.and the men

went to the house. Quarter 01 an nour afterwards the hunter went the pen for his gun, and found that the turtles were gone. As there were no holes in the Fence, and as they had not dug out, the conclusion was irresistible that they hail climbed over. Their trail was found, and about half a mile away they were caught making a bee line for tho creek. Firing oft' his gun, the ranchman again came to his assistance, and the turtles were again put in the pen, and tied to a stake. They were worth watching, how ever, and a few minutes auerwaru n was found that they had gnawed off the rope, and again started for the creek. They were only a few rods away this time, however, and were then tied so short tkat they could not reach the cord, and ultimately arrived at their captor's kitchen at Monotony. Denver Col.) Times. Desiccating Eggs. The" American Egg Company of Keokuk, Iowa, according to tho Uatc City, desccicates daily 8,000 dozen of eggs. That paper describes the process as fol lows: 70 deg. Fahrenheit, and so maintaining at that point all tho eggdned upon them, in spite of the greater heat of the blast. The dried egg is scraped from the cylinder in a granulating form, very much resembling coarse corn meal, and is subjected to a subsequent curing process which lasts about 0 days. The desiccated egg readily dissolves and returns to its former condition of 44 batter" when the requisite proportion of water is added, and thus, if beaten the same as shell eggs, it gives the same results in cooking. As live hundred dozen desiccated eggs are packed in a single barrel, the saving in transportation is enormous, and the other savings, from loss, breakage, decay, etc., can be more easily imagined than estimated. This is the third year of successful manufacture and sale, and tho product is already well known in the Eastern markets, and meets with a sale so readjust the supply has never yet been equal to the demand. It is largely used by bakers, shipping, hotels, in the mining regions, etc., and has been introduced in the army. Salos have been made in Europe, the West Indies and Central America, and there seems to be no limit to the possible market. JL Game ef Fekcr.

In the midst of the dispute and of his wrath, l'ettlt arose, seized every bill on tho table, tore them in pieces, and threw them out of the window.
