angel of October, ana has his picture in the Alma
lac over that mouth Why he is the patron SAINT
Of that portion Of the year i, eonundrum the ans
wer to which has NOT yet been handed in. HOLSTERS
are built more for durability than speed, and are
vut together in short sections on hinges, like coat
Of mail Their skin i hard and resembles vulcan
lied rubber. and IN color i, a dark dull, blue,
blackish green. They are provided with much
legs on either side and have pair of arms finished
ont with decidedly big hand, which resembles Il
pair of mtens it having only thumb, all the bal
ance being hand When Lobster shakes hands
with Won, YOU always know when il takes hold,
und are exceedingly pleased when ii gets done.
They have small features and lay no claim to good
looks When they ocomote. they resemble Il small
how shutting off in his fathers boots They are
backward very They even go ahead backwards.
They occasionally have row, like other people,
and in the melee sometime : lose member, but
have happy faculty Of growing out another lhclf
process is patented both in this country and Europe,
which accounts for its not coming into more general
nae with the human lobster, to speak a Lob
ster never comes on shore unless he is CARR ed
there by force | meyer knew one to do so unless
he got into hot water They are afflicted with but
one disorder and that is boils. There is more real
excitement in harpooning Il whale, or having the
measles. than there is in catching HOLSTERS. The
fisherman provides himself with small hen-coop,
and hangs therein, AS enicerS, several dead fish
He then rows his boat to the lobster ground,
(which is water and sinks his coop 10 the bottom
and anchors it to small buoy, Zone from to 10
wears old will do and then goes home. When he
feels like it again, say in the course of a week or
two, he goes back and pulls up Ms poultry house,
aud If he has had good success, he will find his
game inside the coop. As an article of food the
real goodness of lobster is in the pith. Very few
persona relish the skin, and physicians say Ills
bard to digest. We therefore take the lobster and
boil it till it is seddy to eat Nothing is better for
the collie than boiled lobster. twill bring a
case when cucumber5 have failed. Fora sudden
we advise them crumbled in milk. Eaten at the
right time and in proper quantities, fosters stand
second to no fruit we know Of They are great on
eggs and carry round vast quantities with them,
festooned all over their body. Merely to satisfy
our curiosity we took the trouble to count the eggs
toted around by single lobster and we found
there were S7G4,j3l by actual count, and that lob
ster was not much on eggs either.
We have omitted saving several beautiful things
that might be written about this sea bird in order
to give some other writer chance. We don't
wish to monopoliac this subject In closing, let us
say that Holsters in the original package are good
and are held al from cents to 20 cents each. 30
