' The finest of tortoise shell Is said to be that which comes from the Indian archipelago, although much of that obtained on the Florida coast is of the very best 'quality, says the Scientific American. - There are three rows of plates on the back of the animal called "blades" by the fishermen. In the central row are five plates and In each of the others four plates, the latter containing the best material. Besides these, there are twenty-five small plates around the edges of the shell, known fis "feet" or "noses." The big gest turtle does not furnish more then sixteen pounds of shell Formerly the undersbell was discarded as worthless, but. now . i is much esteemed for Its, delicacy of coloring.

Re pentance la a great volume of duty, and godly sorrow la but the frontis piece or title page. It Is the harbinger or Introduction to it Had Their Origin In a Matri monial Disappointment. The British system of artificial in land navigation, which includes sev eral thousand miles of canal, may be said to have had its origin In a matri monial disappointment Tbe Duke of Bridgewater,' the originator of the sys tem, was engaged to be married Just after he had attained his majority. A dispute arising between tbe couple, tbe match was broken off. The duke's chagrin changed the course of his life. He gave bis first and last ball to the London world of fashion and then bur ied himself among his coal fields at Worsley. Eschewing thev society of women, he 'refused even to employ them as servants in his manor house. Disappointed in marrying the most beautiful woman in England, be de termined to unite by means of a canal his coal fields with Manchester, then beginning its career as a manufac turing town. In those days good roads were the exceptions, bad ronds tbe rule. The cottons of Manchester and the woolens of Leeds were conveyed which Jogged along In Rlnple fllof The freight charge from Leed to Iondon was $63 a ton. When tlie duke's canal was finished the prices' of "coal and other commodities hi Manchester fell one-half. ; The success of this canal started the duke to build one which would con nect Manchester with Liverpool. To procure the funds he reduced his per sonal expenses to 400 a year. So straitened wns ho at times that tbe London bankers hesitated to discount his note for 500. Sometimes when "hard np" he would send his steward upon a collecting tour among the ten antry of the ln - al estates. The stew ard would rliV from tenant to tenant, getting 5 here and 10 there,. When be !u J collet-ted money enough he wouid return and, pay the canal labor ers their weekly wages. , In a few years, however, the duke's canals paid him an annual revenue of 80,000. New York Press. THE WORD MELODRAMA. Originally Meant a Play In Which Mil ,. tio Was Introduced. Nowadays "melodrama" is in general use as denoting a purely sensational play, with an all but Impossible hero, heroine and villain among the charac ters represented. Formerly the word kept more closely in its signification to actual derivation. "Melodrama" Is compounded of .the Greek words melos, a song, and drama, an action, a play, and was applied to two sorts of performances when it first enme into use. It signified a play, generally of the romantic school, in which the dialogue was frequently relieved , by - music, sometimes of an incidental and some times of a purely dramatic character. 2n, the, strength of bis "Pygmalion" J. J. Rousseau is credited with the in vention of this style. Some of the so called English operas of the older school, such as the once famous "Beg gar's Opera- and the once pojmTar "No Song, No Supper," are in reality true melodramas. In the second place "melodrama" was applied to a peculiar kind of the atrical composition in which tbe actor recited his part in an ordinary speak ing vofce, while the orchestra played a more or less elaborate accompani ment appropriate to the situation and calculated to bring' its salient features into tbe highest possible relief.- The merit of the invention of this descrip tion of melodrama belongs to George Bcnda, who used it with striking ef fect in his "Ariadne auf Naxos," pro ducd ft Gotha In 1774.

PAT TOUB WATER KENT TOKOS ROW. . Blonds Getting Scaroer. Scientists are taking a gloomy view of the future of the blond. Not only are fair people becoming fewer, but if thia is not a paradox they are bIbo be coming darker. The future promises to bring us nothing more interesting than the "whitey browns" of humanity. To preserve our blonds is scientifically possible, but their continuance would make an end to the progress 01 civmzu. tion.
