A T.rtle’s Neat.
Ill the town of Patten, a place distant
from tidewater o /er ninety miles, there
is a great curiosity, known as the ‘’tur
tle’s neat” For fifty-two years a turtle
has come anonaily to the nest to deposit
her eggs. Over half a century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
bnt now in a yard in front of a resi
dence. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1841 upon the
turtle’s Imclt, aud it can be plainly
traced now. Bhe comes sbont the same
date each year, and her first few days
are passed in inspecting the ancient
nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs a hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, bnt os many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only abont a dozen of the
eggs hatched ont. The owner of the
house lies ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of a postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeag
river, fnlly fifty miles away from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty-five pounds, and it is said she was
at large when branded as she is now.
Each Jane sho comes to Patten, and is
always welcomed by old and young.—
Bangor (Me.) letter.
Hat. Off In tbe Synagogue.
The vexed question of “hats on 1
hats off” during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting of the
Aushe Cheeed congregation, at the tem
ple on Scoville avenne. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con
gregation wearing their hats daring
public worship has always been in rogue
in this congregation. A nnmber of the
younger and more progressive members
have object^ to the enstora, and it hns
canned more or leas discussion for several
years. The older members held tena
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones bided their time until they shonld
have a sufficient' majority converted to
their views to cliange the enstom.
Tbe matter was brought np at the an
nual meeting, which waa very largely
attended. The bat question was dis
cussed at great length, and several very
warm speeches were made on both sides.
It -was finally put to a vote, and the
members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by a decided ma
jority. The decision was that hereafter
tbe congregation shall worship with hats
off, but those who desire to retain their
head covering will be permitted to do

Walklug Ruck to the Big City.
Wrecks of the early winter theatrical
season are already aeen in New York—
managers whose ventures have failed
after • few nights ont of town, tired
looking actors who seem to have walked
home, and bedraggled looking women,
whose faces tell plainly of their disap
pointments. It is the old story of poor
plays, poor houses and the refusal of the
ghoat to do his weekly little pedestrian
set. And yet in the main the theatrical
ontlook is very good, for with big crops
Comes plenty of money and an army of
people to be amused. Bnt it is the sur
vival of .the fittest. The poor plays are
not patronised, and the manager! of
many come to grief. There arejnany
familiar faces on the Rialto today, men
and women who started off a month
ago filled with hope. Some of them will
be glad to shovel snow for a living be
fore spring.—Foster Coates in Mail and
Express.
A Bad Place far Wrecks.
When a vessel sinks in the channel
through Lake George flats, near Sanjt
St. Marie, there ia plenty of trouble.
Tbe value of the vesaels delayed by a
wreck there recently ia estimated at
114,000,000, and that of their cargoes at
♦4,000,000. At one time sevsnty lake
steam vessels were anchored on the east
side of the blockade and sixtjr on the
weat side, and a 'new channel bad to be
cut through tbe flats to allow them to
continue their Vrnys. Four dredges
worked day and night to make a channel
700 feet in length, 00 in width and SO In
depth. It is said that the only way to
prevent accidents tike that which caused
the wreck is to limit the speed of vessels
in the channel. There was the same
trouble at the St. Clair flats until men
were stationed at tbe ends of the chan
nel to time tiie vessels.—New York Sun.
A Wonderful Underground Lake.
An underground lake has been dis
covered three miles from Genesse. Ida.
It was fonud by s well digger. At a
Jepth of sixteen feet clear, pure lake
water ran ont over the surface fqr a
time, then settled back to the earth's
level. The most curious part of it is
that fish were brought to the shrface on
the overflow. They have a peculiar np
pearance and are sightleoss, indicating
Hut they are underground fish. The
spring has attracted mneb attention,
and many farmers in the vicinity fear
that their farms will drop into tbe lake.

Robbed While Asleep.
A queer case was tried In tbe circuit
court of Louisrille Friday. The defeud-
ant was a man who was captured in the
act of committing burglary. The, de
fease set up the plea that tbe defendant
was a somnambulist and was asleep at
the -time he committed the deed and
was, therefore, unconscious of wrong
doing. Tbe jnry believed and acquitted
the man.—Philadelphia Ledger.
The Babbit aad tbe Kitten..
J. R. Chapman baa a cat that band a
young rabbit in the field a few days ago
and carried it home, placing it with her
kittens, and now the rabbit is just like
one of tbe family and seems to be as
happy as any of them. The mother cat
hones it jnst the same as her kittens.—
