A person who was supposed to be the I French General Mouton, count de Le• bau, was once captured by tui Euglisla vessel, but after a time tbe captain dis- covered that bis prisoner was the Count de Alentrond. "Why did you de- thive me?" he demanded angrily of the count, "I did not deceive you," replied Montrond; "not at all. You thought I Was General Mouton. You told me so. You have a fifty gun frigate, Was it for we, who have only a pocket pistol, to confradict you?" The captain did not forgive Montrond nd took every opportunity to treat huin rudely. One evening it dinner some oue proposed the health of the French. As Montrond rose to ncknowl- edge it the captain cried: "They are all cowards! I make no exceptions!" When Montrond's turn came he gave this sentiment: "The English—they are all gentlemen. but I make exceptions." now Green Turtles Feed. The green turtles of southern Flor- ida live in deep wateraud feed on sea 'ants, mostly the kind called "turtle rase," which they cut off near the oots, eating the lower parts and leav- ng the tops floating so that it collects in great fields and marks the spots where the 'animals are to be hunted for by the fishermen. After browsing on such ocean pastures the green tur- tles go to the mouths of rivers for. baths of fresh water, which they seem to need from time to time. The Floe, ida fishermen say the reptiles enter the creeks and roll togethev masses of grasp, cementing them Leto balls with clay. When the turn of the. tide tikes the balls out to sea they follow them. The fishermen watch for such balls floating dOwn the creeks, and when they see them they stretch nets across. the mouths of the streams and always tateh the turtles. • 'f"IrirIFIFIFIFIr '4" "4- 9F1. -IF ,,, , ABNER.
