The LoBsTER.-When a lobster shakes
hands with you you always know when 1t
takes hold and are exceedingly pleased when
it gets done. They have small features AM
lay no claim to good looks. When they loco
mote, they resemble small boy shutting OF
his fathers boots. They are backward very
They even go ahead backward. They occa-
sionally have a row like people, andi the me
lee lose member, but have the faculty Of
growing out another. This process is pat
ented, both in this country and Europe,
which accounts for it not coming into gen.
eral use with the human lobster, so to speak.
lobster never comes on shore unless he is
carried by force. They are afflicted with but
one disease and that is boils. There is more
real excitement in harpooning a whale, or
having the measles, than there is catching
Holsters. The fisherman provides himself
with small hen-coop, and places in it for
enticers, several dead fish. He then rows
his boat to.. the lobster grounds (which is wa
ter) sinks his coop to the bottom, and anchors
to a small buoy Zone from eight to ten years
willdo), and then goes home. When he feels
like it again-say in the course of week
or so-he goes back and pulls his poultry
house, and ifhe has good success he will find
the game inside the coop.
AS an article of food the real goodness of the
lobster is in th1 pith. Very few persons
relish the skin, and physicians say it is hard
to digest We therefore, take the lobster and
boil it until it is ready to eat. Nothing is
better for the collie than boiled lobster. 1t
will bring on a case when cucumbers have
failed. For sudden case, we advise them
crumbled in milk. Eaten ct the right time,
and in proper quantities, Holsters stands Sec
ond to no fruit known.

WOMANs RIGHTS IN MICHIGAN. During the
excitement of registration one of the carriages
stopped at mouse on Beech street, Detroit,
and the driver pounded at the door of house
tenanted by a man who had neglected his
duty, and whose vote might be lost in conse-
quence. A big, stout woman opened the
door and upon asertaining what had brought
the politician around, she replied: mo, sir.

GLASS CLOTH.


More than thirty years ago NJ. Bonnel,
of Lille, France, discovered a method OF
weaving cloth out of spun glass threads,
which was described as perfectly flexible,
and applicable to variety Of purposes,
more especially the ornamentatlon OF the
walls of apartments. This fabric, the max
ing of which seems to be at present lost
art, was described in the papers OF 1887 as
follows: This cloth of glass is extremely
beautiful; and, from the mannor IN which
it reflects the light, it surpasses in brilllan-
cy everything that has ever been attempted
with silk, even when combined with gold
and silver. Some specimens OF this new
manufacture have been exhibited IN the
passage dc Popera in Paris; and the Queen
OF the French was so much pleased with
them that she ordered golden medal to
be sent to the inventor The following
passage is extracted from French paper /:
"When we figure to ourselves an apart
ment decorated with cloth of glass and re
spendent with lights, we must be convinced
that it will equal in brilliancy all that is
possible for the Imagination to conceive; 1t
will realize, in word, the wonders of the
enchanted palaces of the Arabian tales
The lights flashing from the polished sur
face ofthe glass, to which any color or shade
may be given, will make the room have the
appearance of an apartment of pearls, moth
er-of-pearl, or diamonds, or composed of
garnets, sapphires, topazes, rubies, eme-
raids, amethysts, etc., or, in short, of all
these precious stones united and combined
in thousand ways, and formed into stars,
rosettes, bouquets, garlands, festoons, and
graceful unduIations, varied almost to in
fnity."

RICHNESS OF Soil IN MIcH1GAN.-A
man in Detroit gave me some idea OF the
richness Of the soil in that vicinity. He
said there wasn't any place on earth
where things grew as they do there. He
said his wife never made bread. ."She
always made little biscuit the size of an
egg, and she would leave m an hour to
swell by themselves, and they would grow
into twelve pound leaves" He continued
his growing tale, and said: "Oncc there
was man. He went into the woods and
chopped down four trees He used the
four csrner stumps for posts, and he built
him a nice log house on those stumps.
Then he and bis family went to bed in the
house. The next morning he found him
self and family up sixty feet in the air,
with lot of Indians down cellar waiting
to cut their hair off, and the Indians did
scalp the whole of them.
stranger" said I, "you don't mean to
tell NE those trees grew sixty feet in one
night"
"Sir, 1 do," says he, "aDd not only that,
they hoisted the house up with 'em."
"Are you sure it wasn't sixty -one feet y
| asked meekly.
"sir," said he, ~ never prevaricata
especially on one foot"
$50 they took and scalped them all, did
they?"
"They did," said he.
GLOW in the name of the original Dolly
Warden, did they get up to 'em?" I asked
Says he, "Respected sir, those Indians
each one sawed off tree then each In
dian sat on a stump, and those stumps
grew the Indians up to the house, and
then they scalped the family"
1t certainly was the greatest case of up
tree | ever heard of.
"Stranger that story is pretty tough, but
l believe it, because | know something
about growing trees, and I know they grow
darned fast sometimes. My father had
some good soil on his place; good soil for
trees. He could't afford to keep dog,
because there was so many of us young
'uns. He had to boil what bones was left
to make soup for us. He had some trees,
and, in place of dog, he kept some of the
bark off those trees in the house to scare
away robbers, because that bark would last
all night. One day I used some of the
wood for tooth. picks, and as sure as sour
allspice, stranger, those tooth-picks grew
so that next day 1 sold 'em for telegraph
poles, and they had to be sawed in two
before they could be used"
The stranger got up" Says he, "Good
day, sir"
Says I, "Good day, sir"
