The guiding spirit this happy community 1g Miss Giffen, who has been superintendent of the reading room since establishment in October, 1897, and who. in the words of one of the as she affectionately calls her friends, "is Just devoted to us heart and soul, and does everything in her power to make us 'The methods which enable the blind not only to read and write, but to play such gaines as cards, chess and checkers, ale admirable in simplicity and perfection.

The "girls" are, in general, expert typewriters, not only with the Instrument used for writing raised characters, but with the ordinary wachine, while their needlework, specimens of which are on sale in the reading room, is marvelously skillful. In a room adjacent to the main reading room are raised maps, games and other means for ministering to the pleasure of the blind.

Miss Campbell thus described the manner in which she obtained this privilege for herself and her blind friends: wag Just after the new library bad been completed that I called ou it very dear friend in the country, who had seen the building and was very enthusiastic over Its beauty.

Giffen has received much grateful sympathy in the work which she is doing. One occasion which she recalls with particularly great pleasure is the visit she recoived from Miss Ellen Terry.
when the famous English actress was last in this city. Miss Terry went to see the library of congress and seemed remarkably Interested in the arrangements which are made for the comfort and recreation of the bind. She examined everything in the reading room with the greatest attention and questioned Miss Giffen as to all that was boing done in ameliorating the condition of the blind. Miss Giffen expressed to hor the hope that in time they might be accorded free seats in the theaters. saying that at present the street car companies allow 1 hell free rickets and that they might 11114 1: onabled to hear and enjoy the standard plays.

The mol'ody of Miss Terry's voice WAN especially commented upon and It pictured to her hearers every phase of emotion. At the conclusion of the performance they gathered in one of the boxes, and the actress came down to meet them.

The island is a series of shellbanks, some of them including sev- eral acres, floated upon the upper crust of a deep marsh that is held together by matted roots of sea cane, which stands thicker than the teeth of a flaxhackle and grows ten to fifteen feet in hight. On these shellbanks can be grown as fine plums, peaches, figs, grapes and vegetables as are produced on any soil in the coast country. The marsh affords fine winter range for cattle. Hogs thrive upon the crayfish and bulbous roots and soft shoots that spring from the cane. Horses do not take kindly to the marshy footing, and, on account of the myriads of redbugs that harbor in shell mounds, they do not fare well on the ridges.
Mr. Pavell has been paying taxes on these shellbanks and 3,000 or 4,000 acres of liquid soll for more than forty years. Formerly he manufactured handmade shingles, cordwood, and split cypress fence pcsts at his landing, but for the past four years very little cypress- timber came down the Sabine river, and his occupation was gone until it occurred to Lim to build some large board pens in the marsh, dig down eighteen inches and floor these pens with slabs, that cost only the handling, and open up a turtle farm. The floor is not for the comfort of the turtle, but to prevent its escape, for a medium sized one will excavate a hole in mud several feet deep in 8 single night. Mr.
Pavell catches turtle in all months except in the laying season, for he wants them to multiply. Frequently they will lay as many as 100 eggs, cover them up, and then hide in the mud near by until the young come out. Loggerheads are disposed to venture further from deep water than the checkered 'back--a species of the diamond back of the Atlantic coast-and often deposits its eggs on ground above the highest overflow. Ag the marshes are wide and deep, he lives on crayfish and the succulent roots of the marsh cane; to hunt after a loggerhead is not always one of comfort. Ie often burrows ten feet down and off at tangent more than twenty feet.
To fish him out, boys take a polo thirty to forty feet long, made of thin strips of wood lapped and spliced together, on the end of which is fastened a stout hook. This is worked down and along the hole until the turtle snaps it, and then the tug begins. Often the stick or pole gets pulled in two, but the turtle hag too little intelligence to learn from this experience. Not appreciating his danger, snap again when another pole is pushed down in the hole, and ag long as the hunters pull he will hold on, and, if the timber is strong enough, can in this way be hauled from his hiding place, stowed in a box, and delivered at the farin un'njured. Now and again the hunters.
find they have an alligator at the other end of the pole, and, as he is as stubborn ag a turtle, they usually land him on top of the ground, take off his hide, leave the flesh for coons and buzazrds to feed upon, while the pelt is salted down and marketed. Hundreds of loggerheads are Ashed out in this way, but the checkerback is easier taken with the seine. By watching for the nesting grounds about the lake shore a pretty good idea is had of the most profitable inlets to drag, and, with a horse and a few men, oftener with only halt so dozen men, several hundred medium sized turtles are captured within a few hours, but nfty is a low average for one man. When landed upon the shore they are placed in boats and carried to the pens, where they are assorted according to size, and those too small for market are put where they are expected to remain until large enough to ship. Others are placed in pens with these already on hand, but larger.
and at tho proper time are taken from their feeding grounds, placed in barrels or boxes that admit an abundance of air, and shipped to New Orleans, where Mr. Pavell has always found ready sales for them at prices very profitable. Ie has shipped turtles recently that weighed as much as 150 pounds, but prefers to handle the small ones, AS the meat is regarded as more delicate, and the price for which they sell on the market is proportionately higher. He gives them as much room. they require in shipping.
and rarely loses one it kept in a cool place, but they cannot be shipped far in weather. Of several thousand sent from this depot during the past season, less than twenty died in transit, but they go by express and are quickly unpacked on arrival at the other end of the route. Those left in pens must have mud to hide in and an abundance of moving water. yet they enjoy a sun bath in the hottest weather, but cannot live long in stagnant water; hence every pen is 90 arranged that the tide flows in and out every day. Ile has kept turtles AS long as three years, at the end of which time they were healthy, frisky.
and as ready to snap at a stick placed in their way as were those fresh from the a water, yet they show no disposition to fight among themselves, and ig 8 rare thing to find a dead one in tho pens. Loggerheads and checkerbackg seem to fraternize in captivity, and both live harmoniously with alligators, though they will eat the flesh of the latter after the skin has been removed. and take eagerly to dead fish, but seem to prefer crayfish and the, soft prices roots paid of the for marsh alligator grasses. hides for several years past have not been sufficient to tempt hunters to devote much time to killing them, sO that three and fouryear-olds are becoming much more numerous recently than they were two or years ago. A few old ones, nine to twelve feet long, are still met with far cut in the swamps, where they are comparatively safe, from the fact that men are not inclined to wade through slush waist deep and carry a hide weighing 150 to 200 pounds several miles for YA CITING.
