Diver and Turtle.

Mr. H. Phelps Whitworth, in The Strand Magazine, gives some amusing ex- Prieuces in the life of a diver. As the divers of the pearling fleet are dependent a certain extent upon fish for food, they ever lose an opportunity to catch any- thing edible, turties being especially wel- me because they furnish fresh meat. Mr. Whitworth says:

“The memory of my first tussle with me of these creatures is still impressed Yividly on my mind. I had been told te ‘proach the turtle quietly from behind, lift it quickly to my chest and give the fignal to be pulled up. I was assured that the turtle’s head, being thus pointed up- ward, could move in no other direction, aod that his big flippers would be power. fal enough to bring me to the surface Without further aid.

“Accordingly, when I saw my first tur. Ue feeding quietly on a patch of sea grass,

made a circuitous path and crept cau- tiously up behind it. I¢ looked to me tre- mendous. When I was within a few yards it, cither the bubbles from my esca Wilve cr my 32 pounders scared it, and

n With me at astonishing speed.

there was # sudden jerk, and we company. The turtle continued on

His Funeral.

The minister of a colored church ina Connecticut town gave out a funeral no- tice one Suaday which came near upset- ting the gravity of a visiting clergyman who had come to preside over some cere- mony in the mission church which was connected with his own society.

‘I hab to announce to you, bredren and

sisters,’’ said the pastor earnestly, ‘‘dat de tuneral ob de only surviving son ob de late William Johnson and his widow, Sarah Jobnson (furmerly Baker), both deceased, will take place and come to occurrence on Tuesday next at 12 m. noon precisely. |

‘*And I hab to say, bredren and sisters, dat contributions for carrying out ob dat f-eneral will be in order and acceptatious, or else de funeral cannot take place, ex- cepting and save only as a plain burial, for Samuel Johnson has got jes’ money enough to bury hisself widout any obse- quious ceremonies, such as he deserves.”’

The visiting clergyman was glad to learn that this remarkable appeal was not without effect, and that Samuel, ‘‘the on- ly surviving son,’’ did not lack proper “‘obsequious ceremonies. ’’-—Youth’s Com- panion.

Costly Water Supply.

There is a man in England whose water supply is extraordinarily expensive. He is a millionaire, who lives near a village. Not liking the local water, he had a spe- cial conduit built for himself at a cost >of $400,000, though he resides there only three months a year.

A Fearful cath Sealer.

Hiram 8S. Maxim’s new machine gun is the first fully automatic gun above 1%4 inches which has been an unequaled suc- cess. With this new terror a gunner whc knows his business can deal out four nine pound shots in a shade under three seconds without even so much as taking his ey« off the object to be attended to or his fin- ger off the trigger. The danger of death tc the gunner by the explosion of a cartridg« while the breech is open has been rendered impossible by the application of a simple device which prevents the gun being open- ed until the charge has been fired.—San Francisco Argonaut.

“This butter seems strong,’’ said the young husband at their first breakfast at home.

The Cowboy of the Boulevard,

In the far west the cowboy rides his horse right up the steps of the hotel and into the barroom. In the far east the cow- boy of the boulevard rides his wheel across the gutter and up over the curbstone ard across the sidewalk and up a step right into the bicycle store. It isn’t so difficult as it looks when one has got the knack of it. The rider sits back and )ifts his front wheel to the new level, and the rest is comparatively simple, but it interests the passersby always to see a bicyclist ride right into th» store before he dismounts.— New York Sun.

RESTAURANTS IN RUSSIA,

fhe Dishes on Which One Dines—A Gee tronomic Luxury.

One of the most fashionable restaurants in Moscow is the Hermitage, and another is the Moskoyski Traktir, or Grand Hotel de Moscow, near to the entrance of the Khitagorod. At both of these it is much the custom to begin dinner at the table it- self with two or three commanded dishes of the zatuska. A tablespoonful of the shining, appetizing caviare, with a slice of lemon and a cerner twisted from the hot kalatsch, accompanied by a radish and an plive or perhaps a pickled plum and with the inevitable ‘‘little glass,’’ leads to the ‘‘cold plates’’ and ‘‘sauces,’’ for the Muscovite chef server his fish in the mid- dle, not in the beginning, of the repas*. Among dishes of game the gelinotte is no- ticeable (the Russian ryabehik), but this bird is more welcome in the disguise of an okrochka than cooked whole. In a may- onnaise also the ryabehik is highly pop- ular. This gelinotte, or ‘‘double snipe,’’ has been very truly described as a bird par- taking of the characteristics both of the grouse and the partridge, with a slight underflavor—in which it resembles the ca- per cailzie—of turpentine. Syeh a peculiari- ty is no doubt due ts its tof feeding upon the tender topmost shoots of the fir tree. The Russian peasants have legends about every bird an@ beast, and they say that the gelinotte had once the finest breast of all birds, but it vexed ite Creator, who took this away and gave it to the ryper. There is a tion of mutton, styled schashlik, which might be worth import- ing hither, and beef is curiously metamor- phosed from its British forms into the zrazi, the shtoffade and the azu tatarsk. Kidneys, potchki, with truffles, may ap- pear along with omelets and cretcs de coq mingled with sweetbreads in a ragout or pojarski de poularde aux legumes, a plate named after the hero who delivered hely Russia from the tyrannies of Poland. The zarkoe, or roasts, will include tejya~- tin—i. e., veal and turkey, which is called indyk, the duck, ootka, the cock of woods, teterev, as well as, when in season, the quail, perepel, the dyoper and the teal, cherok. é The dish par excellence, however, of the Russian bill of fare is certainly sterlet, which, whether served en anneau a la Russe or made into an ooka or blended with slices of sturgeon in a solyanka, must be recognized as a notable discovery for all travelers. The sterlet isa gelatinous, semi- sturgeonlike fish, but much smaller than the sturgeon, having a long, ugly nose and no bones, but very nice as a mate- lotte, when, however, a single portion will cost the guest at least 24 rubles. A soly- anka des sterlets is charged 3 rubles the portion, while the finest fried sturgeon is not more than a third of that price. This specialty of the Volga river is, past all question, a great gastronomic luxury. The white, dissolving, nutritious flesh has all the delicacy of the trout, all the crispness of the turbot, all the digestibility of the sole, united in a manner to make many a foreign sea and stream jealous, with very good cause, of the cold and turbid Volga. The pleasant hot dinner cakes, already spoken of as kalatsch, should be caten along with sterlet.—-London Telegraph.
