The Eye of the Crab.

A CREATURE that depends upon its
own exertions to capture the active prey
upon which it feeds must necessarily be
furnished with powerful eyes, which are
capable of extending the faculty of Wis
ion over very large field. These eyes
are seen on the front margin of the crab,
placed on fOotstalks, and having a pecu-
liar naereous luster on their grey-brown
surfaces. On examination with good
pocket lens, the eyes are seen to be COM
pound, i.e., formed of a great number of
facets, each possessing the power of Wis
ion, and all communicating with their
common optic nerve. The delicate rais-
ed lines caused by the seried ranks Of
these compound eyes are the origin of
the peculiar luster just mentioned. It
will be seen, too, that the visual portion
of these organs passes partially round
the footstalkS, so that when the creature
protrudes its eyes it can see objects on
all sides with equal ease. Now, replace
the crab in the water, and watch it as it
exhibits the instinct which has been i'm
planted in its being by its Maker. Ad-
vancing with the flowing tide, and ever
remaining within a foot or two of the
edge, the crab keeps its eager watch for
food, and suffers few living things to pass
without capturing them. The whole ma
ture Of the animal seems to be changed
while it is seeking prey. The timid,
fearful demeanor which it assumes when
taken at a disadvantage wholly vanishes,
and the apparently ungainly crab be-
comes full of life and spirit, active and
fierce as the hungry leopard, and no less
destructive among the smaller beings that
frequent the same locality.

How Mrs. Bonaparto Puts on Her Clothes.


A PARIS correspondent Of the New
York News gossips a little about the
dresses of Eugene. He says it is uni
versally conceded that she is the best
dressed lady in Europe. She sets the
female fashions for the world; and en-
ploys not only n1Odistes, but artistcs to in
vent them. Her department of ready
made clothing is something immense.
To say that she has a now dress for ev-
cry day in the year would not begin to
convey an idea of the extent and variety
of her wardrobe. In the front center of
the ceiling of her Majesty's private dres-
sing room there is a trap-door opening
into a spacious hall above filed with
presses, each containing dress, exhib-
tied on frame-lOoking like an efigy
of the Empress herself In part of
these presses there is a little railway
leading to the aforesaid trap door, through
which the dress is descended into the
presence of the Empress. fit pleased
her Majesty, the dress is lifted from the
frame and placed upon the imperial per-
son; if not, it is whipped up, and anoth-
er comes down in its place; and not un-
frequently another, and another, and an
other; so fastidious is the taste which
gives the law to the world of fashion.
In public the Empress never looks over
dressed. A sever simplicity always char
acterizes her toilet, while every thing, in
material, fit and color, is as complete in
harmony as a sonata of Beethoven. This
is the great secret Of the art of dress.
A woman who wears discordant ribbons,
breaks that sense of visual melody, com
monty called good taste, without which
not even the Duchess of Golconda can
dsess well. Certain colors are just as in
congruous and inharmonica as certain notes
in music, and the artists who compose
dresses for the Empress Eugene study
these natural laws of harmony as care
fully as the painter the hues on his pal
lette. Just now it has been discovered
that the parasol, the dress, the bonnet,
the gloves and the CATERS must be all of
the same color to produce the most
unique and pleasing effect. And thus a
completely dressed lady no longer ofFends
the eye with confused contradiction of
colors of all the shades and without the
order Of the rainbow, but presents a per-
feet picture, as melodiously charming to
the eye as the air of Home, Sweet Home
is to the ear.
