" 4Wity,under the cienopy,' elm exclaimed;
didn't you haul up the anchor an smash the
pesky critter with it?'
Sure enough. I bad never thought of
the anchor. The eppearanee of the woman
mimed rather to pestle the Untie, and he
stopped in the middle of the boat on his
way toward me in the stern for the fortieth
or Aftieth time,
arid itood for a moment as
if undecided what to do. The farmer's wile
had seized the anchor rope and was pulling
up the big atone. The turtle had made up
his mind before the anchor appeared, and
turned from me and made for the women.
She had the atone in sight, when it slipped
from the noose that held it and eank back
to the bottom. She drew the rope froni the
water, and turning quickly, struck with it
at the turtle's head. like a flesh the mon-
ster caught it in his jeers, and they closed
on it with a amp.
'There, said the farmer's wife, 'that
critter won't be no more trouble,' came he'll
never open his jAWS off o' that rope.'
"The woman dragged the turtle to the
bow of the boat, where she tied it short to
the post. The paddle of her • sinking boat
was secured, and we reacbed shore safe and
sound with the turtle a captive through the
stubborn grasp he kept on to the rope with
Ms jaws,
"'He's the biegest one I ever see," said
the farmer's wife, 'and I've see some pooty
big ones come out o' that pond."
"We had no difficult in getting our cap-
tive out of the boat, for ha seemed saeisfied
with having vented his fury on the rope,
which he still held tightly in his jaws. My
rescuer proceeded to at once chop the
turtle's head off with an axe. The next
tnorning the head was etill as full of life as
it wee when it was fast to the body. The
rope was still between his jaws, and when
any one approached the decapitated head
the eyes would turn and glare as savagely
as ever. The head was carried away with
the rope still secure in the jaws, and not
until forty-eieht hours afterward slid they
relax and the head cease to give signs of
life. The turtle weighed forty-six pounds,
the head alone weighing almost one-quarter
of the whole." .
Not long ago I called at Edisson's home,
expecting to see him, says a correspondent
of the Pittsburg Dispatch. He wasn't there,
and Mrs.. Edison told me sbe hadn't seen
him for three days. I soon found Ishat he
was at his old trioke—working night and day
in his laboratory, having his meals sent to
him and sleeping on the goer with his clothes
on and -a, stick of wood under his head for a
pillow. When working he never leaves his
laboratory, and he seems to think that by
keeping his clothes on he can better preserve
the nervous tension after be has started to
work. Then he perseveres until he has ac-
complished his purpom. His time he regards
as very valuable, and tide is the reason he
doesn't vraut to oonae here uptil it is woes
sary. His cleafnese ha e not improved any,
remaining about the some.

The Wife of Count Tolstoi, the Bataan
novelist, is, like the wives of many literary
men, the business mealier of the family
firm. She has sole charge of ttse sale and dis-
tribution of her hashana's book% ana is hie

all this she superintends the bringing up
and education of their thirteen children,
looking after domestic: matters meanwhile.
Miss Swain B. Anthony is nesrlfeeventy,
hut her figure is straighter than that of many
a girl of seventeen. Her eyes are very bright
and her rather thin face expresses mute-
ness and kindly intelligence. She dresses
quietly hut richly in dark silks with fine
lace for .garniture and is charged with one
very feminine weaknase—a horror of going
out in the rain, which avereion, for that
matter, many men share with her eneergiot
self.
.A. recent issue of the Farmington " Regis-
ter " of Oregon contains a letter from An-
drew Seethes, the head of the Cesar d'Alene
ludians, asking the aaloon men not to sell
hie people liquor. He says if any of them
are found drunk in town he would like to
have the city marshals eareat them and send
word to 'him, and he will go and get them
and put them in hie jail. Be also talks to
the Country Clerk about canape and says
his people lose many horses. Be closets by
saying "1 want to be at peace with all the
whites, and would like to have the whites
nee my people as they uee one another." It
Is but a few years since Saltine rode at the
head of the Cceur d'Alene warriors and was
a savage chief bent on destroying the whites.
Now he rides around the country taking a
fatherly interest in his tribe a,nd keeping
them straight. He is thrifty and well to
do, and rides into town in a, comfortable
carriage behind a good pair of horses.
The German ration may be thankful to the
German army for other reasons than simply
the defence of the fatherland, according to
General Lerd Wolseley. He writee Very
recently: "I take the German army as the
highest existing type of the military system
and organization which the changers effected
in armies by the French Revolution have led
up to ; and much aa I admire that army as
a soldier I admire it still more as a citizen.
Great as it is for war, it is infinitely greater
as a national aohool for the moral, Mental,
and physical training of the people. Design-
ed exclusively for war, it has become. the
most important of peaoe Institutions.' In ib
all Germans are trained to etreneth, and
taught the firet prinoiplee of personal clean -
Hams and of health. There they learn to be
honest and manly, and are taught the excel-
lence of those virtues which 'terve to niake
