THE BABY TURTLE. He Has to Paddle His Own Canoe From the Moment of Birth. Just so soon as a baby turtle emerges from the egg off he scuttles down to the sea. He has no one to teach him, no one to guide him. In his curious little brain there is implanted a streak of caution based upon the fact that until a certain period in his life his armor is soft and no defense against hungry fish, and he at once seeks shelter in the tropical profusion of the gulf weed, which holds within its branching fronds an astonishing abundance of marine life. Here the young turtle feeds unmolested while his armor undergoes the hardening process. Whatever the young sea turtle eats and wherever he eats it, facts not generally ascertained, one thing is certain—it agrees with him immensely. He leads a pleasant sort of life, basking in the tropical sun and cruising leisurely in the cool depths. Once he has attained the weight of twenty-five pounds, which usually occurs within the first year, the turtle is free from all danger. After that no fish or mammal, however ravenous, however well armed with teeth, interferes with the turtle. When once he has withdrawn his head from its position of outlook into the folds of his neck between the two shells intending devourers may struggle in vain to make an impression upon him.—Harper's Weekly. LINCOLN'S LESSON. The Way He Learned to Tell When a Thing Is Proved. Abraham Lincoln was once asked how he acquired his wonderful logical powers and his acuteness in analysis. Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me. When I was a young man I went into an office to study law, I saw that a LUCKY IMITATION. An Experience With the Russian Autocrat Marshal Gourko. Marshal Gourko, the famous Russian general, was a terrible autocrat. On one occasion an impersonator of celebrated men was performing at a theater in Odessa. One evening he received a mysterious message, which read, "Study General Gourko." In Russia it is better not to inquire into matters that one does not understand, and so the artist spent an hour in privately impersonating the autocratic Russian. Just as the evening performance was about to commence an order of arrest signed by Gourko was presented to the impersonator, and without explanation he was led through the streets to the marshal's palace and into an apartment where the terrible man was seated. "They tell me that you impersonate celebrated men," he roared. "Impersonate me!" Giving a hasty look at Gourko, the performer turned to the mirror to "make up." It was an anxious time, for if the marshal should take exception to the representation he had unlimited power to inflict punishment. The impersonator dragged himself together and turned to the marshal a copy of his own face and overbearing manner. Gourko burst into a roar of laughter, and the dangerous moment was over.

Abraham Lincoln was once asked how he acquired his wonderful logical powers and his acuteness in analysis. Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me. When I was a young man I went into an office to study law. I saw that a lawyer's business is largely to prove things. I said to myself, 'Lincoln, when is a thing proved?' That was a poser. What constitutes proof? Not evidence; that was not the point. There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof? I groaned over the question and finally said to myself, 'Ah, Lincoln, you can't tell.' Then I thought what use is it for me to be in a law office if I can't tell when a thing is proved? "So I gave it up and went back home. Soon after I returned to the old log cabin I fell in with a copy of Euclid. I had not the slightest notion of what Euclid was, and I thought I would find out. I therefore began at the beginning, and before spring I had gone through the old Euclid's geometry and could demonstrate every proposition in the book. Then in the spring, when I had got through with it, I said to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know when a thing is proved?' and I answered, 'Yes, sir; I do. Then you may go back to the law shop,' and I went." Tombs of Abelard and Heloise. Of the hundreds of thousands who make a pilgrimage to Pere Lachaise on All Saints' day few doubt the authenticity of the most famous tombs. One in particular is never questioned—that of Heloise and Abelard, the story of whose unhappy love is so grandly told by Pope. This monument is the work of Alexander Lenoir, the sculptor, and dates toward the end of the revolution. The tomb was built by Lenoir with fragments of a chapel of the convent of the Paraclete at Nogent-sur-Marne, of which Heloise was the abbess. Lenoir managed to bring some glass from the windows of the old chapel, and two medallions which adorn the tomb the sculptor purchased from a religious house in Paris. This is all that is genuine about the tomb.—London Globe. That Headache "This is such a beautiful treat," said the impecunious man at the matinee where they went on her pass, "that I want to take you to dinner afterward if my headache gets better."

The Restaurant Cook Catches Alive the Fish the Patron Selects. Entering a Japanese restaurant, a guest who wishes broiled eels and rice is led to a tank of squirming fresh water eels and bidden to point out the object of his preference, says a writer in the Delineator. The cook, who stands by, selects the wriggling victim of his choice, strikes its head smartly upon a wooden block and, squatting by it, grasps the creature's neck, inserts a knife in the left side of the vertebrae and dexterously runs it down to the tail, then, rapidly applying his instrument to the other side of the backbone, repeats the process, leaving the eel split open. Then, chopping the flattened eel into three inch lengths, the pieces are plunged into boiling water to make the skin tender, long bamboo splints used as skewers are thrust through them, and they are then placed on rods over glowing charcoal and broiled brown, being plunged from time to time into a vessel that contains old soy of the color and consistency of molasses. These preparations concluded. The steaming eels again are drained and placed in red lacquer boxes with rice and set before the customer. The Phonograph. One need not be afraid of operating a machine too constantly, as there is little danger of wearing it out, and the motor will give better service when used frequently than when allowed to stand unused. In all cases avoid winding the spring too tightly. Stop when it offers strong resistance. In many cases it is specifically stated that the needles should not be used more than once, and these directions should be observed. Not to follow them means almost certain damage to the records. The machine should be kept well oiled; otherwise its motion will become sluggish. Sewing machine oil may be used for that purpose. The records should be kept free from dust, as dirt clogs the sound wave grooves and tends to give a scratchy sound to the reproduction. A good record cleaner may be made by gluing a small piece of velvet carpet to a wooden block. Such a cleaner always should be used on dusty records before they are placed on the machine.—Suburban Life. A Dismal World. "Why are you sad, my dear? You ought to be supremely happy.

McMannon will be the first man to get a farm in the Yuma irrigation project, to be opened to homestead entry March 1 at the Los Angeles land office. McMannon is the first man of a line that numbered 20 at 2 o'clock in Los Angeles on Thursday last, and which has since grown to thousands. The men will have to remain in line for 11 days and nights in order to hold their positions, when the land is opened to entry at 9 o'clock the morning of March 1. McMannon appeared before Chief of Police Galloway and asked permission to form a line. This was granted and an officer was detailed to keep order on the line. The men will wear large numbers in their hats to designate the order in which they come, and they must remain in this order. Don Orrill, an insurance and real estate broker, is the second man, and G. N. Roberts is third. These men appeared soon after McMannon started the line. The would-be homesteaders Thursday were all busy obtaining substitutes to relieve them in line. Arthur Spencer, a Spanish war veteran, who was with McMannon in the Philippines, will be his substitute. The men plan to do 12-hour watches each. DIFFERENCE IN POLITICS NOW Primary Law Puts the Politicians Away Up In the Air The refusal of Senator Flint to run for office this year is an interesting day were all busy obtaining substitutes to relieve them in line. Arthur Spencer, a Spanish war veteran, who was with McMannon in the Philippines, will be his substitute. The men plan to do 12-hour watches each. DIFFERENCE IN POLITICS NOW Primary Law Puts the Politicians Away Up In the Air The refusal of Senator Flint to run for office this year is an interesting and instructive sign of the times. His refusal is based on the ground that he can not afford to maintain or create the expensive personal organization which he deems necessary to success. Doubtless Senator Flint knows what he is about and has correctly sized up the situation. This means that the political situation in California has been completely changed by the direct primary. In the old comfortable days of the convention system—comfortable for the machine—it was a comparatively simple matter to make a campaign for senator if you had the backing of the organization. I remember in the early part of 1894, when I was running a newspaper in a Southern California county seat [Santa Ana? Ed.] Billy Hamilton slipped into town under cover of night. He kept away from me, because, doubtless, he knew I understood what he was after. In a few hours he had primed his man, or thought he had, to vote for Perkins for senator. It was simply a question of picking his man and passing out the orders. In those days and down to the time of the Santa Cruz convention the discipline of the machine was very nearly perfect. It happened, however, that in the instance under notice Billy Hamilton nearly slipped up because the man he picked was a rascal and a grafter who had not the decency to stay bought, and after he got to Sacramento it needed some sharp cracking of the whip to hold him in line. But, in fine, they made him swallow his medicine, and they have taken care not to run any risks with him since. I don't mean that this man was paid any money on behalf of Perkins or that any bribes passed. They may have contributed something to the candidate's campaign expenses, but it was not much, and he was expected to be content with his pay as an assemblyman and whatever he could make on the outside. The organization had been brought to such perfection that its tools were paid out of whatever else they could make in the way of honest graft whenever allegiance to the machine was not required of them. The only expenditure required of the organization was a certain amount of money to finance the campaign. The burden was divided and one hand was made to wash the other. After Billy Hamilton was appointed deputy collector of the port Geo. Hatton took up the work for Perkins and later for Flint. Little more was required than to see the men and pass out the orders.—Pop Cahill in Call. The Best Cuts of MEAT Can be had here any time.
