oration; '
/
It is a proof of the high degree of
elaboration to which fiction literature
in China has been: carried that most. of
their novels are thickly interspersed
with poems of all orders of merit.
No stronger evidence could be afford:-
ed» of the fact that whatever they lack
it is not. literary finish. If anything,
they have this in excess.
These poems are introduced in a. va-
riety of ways. The hero sends one in
a. billet doux to the heroine, or he. over-
hears her singing one, or perhaps a
poetic contest is struck up, the fine on
‘ defeat being generally the compulsory
drinking of so many extra. flagons of
wine.
“Tine drinking and versification. al-
most invariably go together in Chinese
novels, though whether they do so in
real life we are unable tosay.
Above all things, every man who sets
up to be anything in the way of a hero
in. Chinese fiction must be. prepared to
extemporize by the ream in: inimitable
poetry. ‘

SUBSTITUTE TURTLES.
Inferior Kinds Are Being- Supplied
in Place of the Disappearing
Diamond Back.
With the passing of the diamond
back ternapin from local waters and
its general scarcity, says a Chester—
town (Md) correspondent. of the Bal-
timore Sun, the. business of developing
“sliders” and “red belly” terrapins has
begun in the waters of Kent county.
These terrapins are now in wvifiter
quarters by the thousands in marshes,
and are in their best condition. The
“slider" often attains extremely large
proportions, weighing as much as 20
pounds or over. The “red belly’? is a
smaller species. The larger variety
sometimes sells as high as $2.50 apiece,
though the average price is from 75
cents to'$1.50. The smaller variety
sells for from. 75 cents to $1.50 per
dOZen. .

found by sounding with a. stick and

her bedding grounds. She goes out-
at night, makes a. hole with her head
large enough to hold the eggs, and then
proceeds to lay. The eggs are then
covered with sand andpacked, and the
terrapin seeks the water before the
An old trapper states that he had
known terrapins to be killed by the

A Lewiston (Me) merchant. has in

is peculiarly sensitive. ‘It some-times

A Lunibeu- Dealer n... More In.“ He
Wants or Can. Use in a
Year o'r Two.
Over in Brooklyn there is a lumben
dealer who has learn-ed what it is to
have too» much of agood thing. He has
occasional use for pennies. He has
among his customers! a man who makes
hand organs fort-he! use. of the street
beggars. To this! maker of Italian
street musicians’ supplies he. had suc-
cessfully applied on .srevenal'occasions:
for pennies in small amounts. A week
or so after the: last of these applica—‘
tions the. hand organ maker drove up
to the office of the lumber merchant
and with much effort managed to haul
into the office a no-sebag such as horses
are fed from when standing on the
street. There was a. smile of satisfac-
tion on the face of the organ maker as
he lifted the bag and plumped. it with a
resounding and metallic cl-ang on the
desk of the merchant, says the New
York Times. .
“You like the pennies,” he said, cor-
dially, as he beamed upon; the lumber-
man. “I have here. 2,500 of them. How
with good nature.
As- it wouldn’t do to offend a good
customer, the. lumberman took the
pennies and passed over bill-s! for them.
But. he took good care to let his: one
tomer know that he wouldn’t need any
more small. change for a. year! or two,
andl that. he might. find some other
place in which to unload the pennies
of the organ grinders in the future.
Oldest Woman in Massachusetts.
Mrs. Mary Spooner, of Acushnet,
Mass, who has just. celebrated her one
hundred and fifth birthday, is prob—
ably the oldest woman in Massachu-

tinction of having lived in three differ-

The Greatest Contrasts Are to Be
Found In the Most Lux-
nriant Cities.»
Probably in Constantinople, which
has lien described as the “city of
novels,” there is a greater contrast be-
tween t-he public and private buildings
than in' any other city in. the world.
The streets are narrow, tortuous and
dirty, and even the better class of pri-
vate houses are mean in .comparisor
with those of a. similar class in other
countries. 0n the othér hand, the
‘ mosques and palaces are magnificent in
5126, design. and materials of construc- ‘
tion, most- of them being of marble,
white. or gray. The seraglio is one of
the most splendid buildings in Europe.
Berlin is a. close second in. this respect,
boosting the fine-st streets in Europe,
Unter den Linden and. its public build-
ings will compare favorably with those
of any other capital, but its slum-s and ‘
tenement houses are squalid and. filthy
in the extreme. Another city which is
close in the running'is Lisbon. When
it was rebuilt. after the earthquake the
public buildings were built. on- a. scale
by no means justified by the finances
of the country, while the private build-
‘ings had to be erecté'd- in accordance
with their owners’ means. The contrast
between them is therefore naturally
very striking. -
American Poultry Condemned.
Nine tons of poultry, consisting of
2,169 geese, turkeys, chickens and
ducks, from Boston, were landed re-
cently at a. London dock, where it was
found that they had decayed on The
voyage. They could not be condemned,
however, till they had been loaded on
wagons and carted to a police'court,
where a police magiStrate came out,
listened to the inspector‘s story, satis-
fied himself by his own senses that the
fowls were unsound and ordered them
tobe destroyed. A police magistrate is
apparently the only English official
who can condemn bad meat, and this
he can do only after listening to a com-
plaint and examining the corpus. de-
lecti personally in his own courtroom.
Ups and Downs. .
In Germany it is considered neces-
wary that a child should “go up” be—
fore it. goes down in the world, and so
'it is carried upstairs as. soon as born.
In case there is no upstairs. the nursle
mounts a table or chair with their»-
