The question s Them ure. trom the is” suggested because at the present day there is a great demand for two other classes of reptiles, namely, frogs and turtles, for food, and yet we never hear of snakes being offered on the market. The answer fol- lows, for the reason that hion dictates all things, from our birth to our death, and as yet snakes ave interdicted for food, to Ameri at loast. Frenchmen generally credited * and they are with “'knowing a good thing practiced frog cating for centuries be- fore other countries acknowledged the delicacy of frogs' legs. At last the cus- tom veached the United States and was quite generally adopted and the term ‘‘frog-caters” was no longer considered opprobrious. Somewhat over a century ago there was a revolt on a plantation because the slaves were peincipally fed on diamond-backed s, which could be secured ay an expense of 31 a cartlond. Now these terrapins bring from $40 to $60 a dozen, Snake flesh is white and tender and 1 doubt not is as good as that of any other cold blooded animal. There is nocarthly reason to doubt it and it would be un- reasonable to dispute it. Prejudice alone prevents our trying fried snakes nd the same prejudice keeps many per sons from eating “nicely cooked cels, be- cause they so elosely resemble snakes, Let us compare snakes and cels and we P 1 find that snakes. and, in fuct, all reptiles, including our favorite green turtle and delicate frog, ave immeasur- ably above the cels and all other fishes in the scale of animal life. But, allowing that mamme and clear down to the degencrates fishes arc all good because they are verte- brates, why do we not limit ourselves to this suo-kingdom, instead of dropping to the lower and serving up crabs, loh- sters and shrimps? But, not content with this drop, we take another plunge, reptiles and, going away, away below the in- sects, we reach the clam and oyster, which we eat entire and often in the raw state. In certain parts of Europe snakes are caten by the lower class of people. They are sold prepared at the market as hedge eels and are in considerable demand 1 couthern France, In many parte of the uncivilized world the flesh of serpents is eaten. and we have it on the authority of well known travelers and explorers that, although nottempt- ing, the dish is in nowise unpalatabie, It may be a long time before the fashion generally adopts snakes as food, but it should be borne in mind that we descend lower in the scale when we feed on fish, and immeasurably lower in our civilized taste for oysters. — TERRAPIN FARMING, How the Market 1s Sup Great Delicuc: Terrapins, the now greatest delicacy known to the epicure, are a little lower ed with This in price this year than they were last, although their compurative scarcity makes them one of the most precious luxuries. **Counts"—that is, terrapins that measure six inches or over—which brought $65 per dozen last year, are now selling for 850 in Baltimor The largest specimens are highly prized for their flesh, and have brought even this year us high as 875 per dozen. The more common varieties, which have not changed materially in price, sell for #15 to $20, Terrapin farming, as it is technically dubbed by the trade, has proved itsclf & lucrative business. Of late vears many have entered into itand have earned a | good living by plying their strange trade. One of the most noted farms is situated on Hog Island, Va., which is located at the mouth of Coan river, where all the advantages of water and surroundings necessary for the rearing of the animals are at hand. The farm covers about two und one-half acres of land and water and issurroun board fence, which effectually prevents the terrapins from escaping. The,in- terior is divided into lots, Marshy ground is afforded the animals for bur- rowing in the mud when cold weather sets in, The summer months seem to be the favorite time for the terrapin to lay its eggs. This operation is performed in & peculiar way, which adwivably demon- by a | hard breast shell, packs" the sand down over the nest. She usually lays about ’ twelve egge, this b#ing a fair aver- | age. The heat of the, eun hatches the eggs, and after. they have been in the ground about two { months and a hall the litle feliows | { dig themselves out of the kand and take to the water, where they proceed to_ob- tain nourishment as, test they can. | When the cold weather @omes on the | terrapin hunts his ‘wifiter quarters, | | which are generally located at the bot: | tom of the pond. The older ones sleep | | a1l the winter at the bottom and the | | younger ones live around the edges of | the bank. As a natural esneequence | | the terrapin only requires care duving | the warm weather. Then th fed rogularly with fish, org nd food of which they are fond. Such farms | are stocked at any season of the ycar Whenever the animals are caught they are placed within the inclosure, wh they d the quarters all prepared for their reception. | et — WHERE GREAT ACIORS FAIL, y must be other | Jefferson, Irving and Salvini Conld Not Memorize Thelr Own Specches, The often repeated Statement, little be- lieved in, however. by the unproressional | public, that an actor canuot learn his own | lines, was curiously proved, Shys the New York Herald, at the players' ceremonios in the Madison Square Garden concert upon the birthday anniversary of Booth, It is quite incredible to most persons that any one of average memory should be unable to commit words which he himeelf has written, On the contravy it would seem that the author should be able to remember the words which erystaliize s thoughts much better than any one clse The proof of thisapparently self evident proposition seems to 1ic in the fact that pub- lic men, crators, clergymen and other fre- quent_speakers are not oniy in the habit of committing to memory their own literary | halt Edwin own productions, but that, after u few years of practice, they do it with an ease which is Dositively surprising. It is well known, for instance, that Chauncey Depew has 1o do little more than write his speech to have it by rote. Ie can compose a long oration at home one night, and the next night, aftera busy day at his business, can deliver it almost verbatim, re- calling the words with an ease which en ables nim to devote his attention on tho platform wholiy to the oratorical eflects of his delivery. Why, then, cannot a professional actor, whose marvelously rapid acquisition of the phrascology of complicated “parts” is pro- verbial, learn parts or speeches which he nimself has comnoseil ! But the proofof the puading lies inthe cat ing, as learned the other day, when I at tended the Booth exercises to' make a re- port of them for the He “Three great actors were there to make ad- dresses in memory of the famous dead they cach had intimately known. They w ere re spectively revresentative of the very first | rauk in their profession 'in three different nations, and all of them were men whose r was whitened by years and labor, and wiio were far above the trivial affectations of the youngbr men of their craft. There were Joseph Jefferson, Heney Teving and Tommaso Sulvi Anxious 1o obtain copics of their spee. in advance, if possible, I asked Mr. Jefferson in the ante room before the program wis he- gun if by any chance he had prepared copies of his specch for the press. ‘Why, no,” he said slowly, “T have not. 1 haven't even made & copy for myself. 1 haven't written any specch, for I couldn't learn it if I had.” ‘Why, that in curious,” I suid, smiling. “Well, it's a fact,” said Mr. Jefferson quite earnestly. “Ican’t possily learn my own | lines, 80 { don't try.. 1 hae merely mapped | out in my mind, in & very general way, what Lam going to say.” 1t may be said rigit here that it was well My Jefferson did not prepare and deliver a set specch, forno words prepared before- | hand could possibly have equated the simple and wonderfully effcetive aadress he deliv- ered, coming as it_did, on the spur of the moment, eloquontly and broken by emotion, from the warm beart of Edwin Booth's dearest friend. Henry Irving came i presently a modest seat on the fioor newr the platform, crouching comfortably aown, bis legs crossed and his fine face nearly concealed by the hand upon which it rested. When I asked him the same question I had asked of Mr. Jefferson he looked up smilingly and said “Yes, T have w few words “But [ have unfortunately only one cop of it, and I cannot give that to you now, for 1 have been unable to commit the words and | nust vead them. But I will cheerfully give it to you afterward.” Mr. Ivving togk his manuseript upon the platform with hiln, and, thouzh he did uot actually read from it, be glanced at it four or five times during the brief delivery. He made good his promise to give me the manu- scrivt afterward 1 have it before me sheets of single note pape theater, nd took itten out a speech—just o three small the Lyceum now of Upon the reverse side of the are written in Mr. Irving's largest and plainest hand 258 words-—-his entire address.

But when Mr. Salvini faced the audience he carried a menuscript- in his hand, and Mr. Jofferson, us the presiding ofticer of the meeting, offered an apology to the audience in behalf of the speaker, saying that us Mr. Salvini had been unable'to memorize his own composition he would be compelled to read it, And Mr. Salvini did read it, though he showed the effects of study by delivering some of the finer periods without looking at his manuseript Can uny better proof be offered of the L that acters cannol memorize rown lines?
