After the young are ten months old they are able to care lor themselves, and there is no danger of their being destroyed. With the increase in the price of teyapin, terrapin farming ought to become profitable. Years ago they were a drug in the market, and you could buy them at Annapolis for twelve cents apiece. Twenty years ago they brought oulv six dollars a dozen in Washington, and now there are cases in which an extra fine article Bells from six dollars to eight dollars apicce. Senator John M. Clayton, of Delaware, once bought a cartload for one dollar, and it is said that Washington, Lafayette and Cornwallis ate a terrapin dinner after tho surrender at Yorktown.—Denver Times. TERRAPIN FARMING. A flrarliklf / Industry Along tb« Chew pcuka Bay In Maryland. Of. late yean a number of terrapin Tarma have been started along the Che»- apenlce, and Senator Bayard is said to be the proprietor of one of them. The biggest farm is on the Patuxent river, and it consists of a large salt-water lake, whleh could accommodate thousands of terrapin if they would breed as rapidly as was desired. The farmer has surrounded this lake with board fences to keep out the rauskrats and foxes, which are the terrapin's enemies. He has made hatcheries of boxes partly filled with sand, and so arranged that when the females anter them they can not get out until they are taken out. He has nurseries for young terrapin, and he keeps the little ones there until they are ten months old in order to preserve them from their fathers, for the older terrapin are as fond of good living as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Our overcoat tables are getting lower each day. The reductions we have made has caused many poor men to invest in good comfortable overcoats with very little money. Just think of a man's overcoat for $2.00; not satin lined, but lined with fianni e and comfortable. Why not keep warm. Everything1 in Suits and Overcoats Should thero l>e a lailure to report :i bill there is some talk of taking it out of the committee's hands by a vote in the House, but thin would be an unusual course and one in which there might be sufficient, op portnr.ity for delay to kill silver Vgiidation. Thero is some talk among the Hepublicans of the advisability of getting to gether 011 the silver question in the interest of party supremacy, but the prospects of such an agreement are remote, for the radical silvermen say that they will not abide by any caucus action on this question. If there were assurances that the measure would be signed, they would probably be willing to accept free coinage of the American product with a heavy seignorage on foreign silver as a compromise, but the majority of the Democrats are opposed to anything save unlimited free coinage, and a solid Republican vote cannot be secured for any compromise. With their assistance the silver uien could order a report made to the House, and it is asserted that this will be dune without much delay, though it is not con tended that these Democrats will commit themsolves to vote for the bill, but merely that they will agree to secure consideration for it. The Speaker entertains the same views as ever on the question of free coinage, but there is reason to believe that lie is not prepared to go to the most extreme measures in order to prevent the matter coming up and to bear the burden of dissatisfuction which would thereby bt, created in the silver wiug of the Kepublican party. Moreover, Mr. Bred has suid that he was by no means sure of succetsfully fulfilling such a tusk this year, because of a change in existing conditions and of a growing sentiment favorable to nilvr r, Washington, Jan. 16 —Pending action of tome kind in the Homo on the silver bill the diseusaion has subsided and members of the House are awaiting developments. The Coinage Committee has the key to the situation at present, and the general disposition is to give the oommitmittee an opportunity to show what it means to do before making predictions or outlining the coarse to be pursued in the the futnte. Some effort is making on the part of the gold adherents to have the bill kept in committee, but the silver men are sanguine as to their ability to defeat such a move. At least two of the Democratic members of the committee are gold standard men, and each side shows them great consideration in the present condition of affairs, Still strange tiling'.

Tlic Manner of Making Engagements in tlvo In certain parts of Holland, when a young man thinks lie has found his affinity, it is customary for him to nsk for a match to light his cigar at the door of the beloved one's house. This little subterfuge is intended to arouse the parents of the girl to tlio fact that something ia In the wind. If a second call with a similar object is made soon after, no doubt is left of the young man's intentions, and the par renta proceed to investigate the young man's character and antecedents, with a view of ascertaining his eligibility as ft member of the family. When he calls a third time, always for a match to light his cigar, they are prepared to give him an answer. If his suit is regarded with favor ho is politely requested to step Inside for the first time, and is served with a light If he is not accepted, ho is refused a light, and the door is shut in hia face without further ceremony. But, having prepared for this contingency, the downeast suitor will, in all probability, light his weed with a match from his own bos, and walk away musing on tho transitory nature of all earthly things. When the accepted suitor is invited to enter the house, he, as a matter of course, informs the parents which of their daughters has captivated his fancy. When this is settled, the young1 man steps forward and they join hands. While the engagement is by no means a settled fact, yet it is stated as a truth that when, 011 the occasion of the young1 man's third visit, his inamorata has offered him a second cigar, which ho had tmoked in their house, tho engagement has never been cancelled. -V Y.

The only irnportnat point, therefore, was to induce outside tho body the proscess going on inside, if possible, and to extract from the tubercular bacilli alone the curative substance. This demanded time and toil, until I finally succeeded, with the aid of a 10 or 50 per cent, solution of glyceiine, in obtaining an effective substance from tho tubercular bacilli. Willi tho fluid so obtained I made furt her experiments on animals and finally on human beiugs. These fluids wore given to other physicians to enable them to repeat, the experiments. The remedy which is used in the new treatment consists of a glycerine extract derived from tho pure cultivation of tubercle bacilli." Bkui-in, Jan. 15 —Prof. Koch's report, published to day, describing the composition of his lymph, is comparatively brief. Prof. Koch says: "since publishing, two months ago, the results of my experiments with tbo new remedy for tuberculosis, many physicians who received the preparation have been enabled to become acquainted with its properties through their own experiments.
