Yes, these palm crabs. They were Spice

weighed matter of twelve pound, others

looked like half spider and half crab. If

When | first saw one il reminded me of
these fantastic figures that hop out of boxes
when you raise the lid The palm crabs

always in holes at the foot of palm trees,
and to give YOU an idea of the amount of
he nuts they eat, the Malays make a regu-
lar business of collecting the huSks which
they fnd in the nests ami making them into
mats and various articles of dome site use.
You might wonder how the crabs get at the
nuts: they climb the trees and twist them

Sometimes the nut is brought down. but
often dropped, the crab following it down.
II then tears off the husk with its big claws
always commencing at the end at which the
two holes are placed, and when they come
into view it brings one of its small rear
claws into play and runs it in and picks out
the meat. Sometimes they break the shell
by hammerlng 1t on a rock
This friend of mine told me some curious
yarns about the crab Once, when a lot of
natives We're of on crab hunt one of them
nearly had his ears torn OFF. They went for
them at night, and as one of the men took
hold of a limb, or branch, of a cocoanut to

The Match Game.

The much talked of match game of
base ball, between the Oak Hall club, of
Gainesville. and the Gems Of PaIatka
took place yesterday afternoon at the
railroad junction. The game resulted in
an overwhelming victory for the Gaines
vile boys, who proved too much for our
boys. winning u score of 81 to 3. The
Oak Hall club is composed of first rate
players, all Of whom were in good prac-
tice, while our boys were only recently
organized. and have had scarcely any
practice, but nevertheless they did some
good playing. The game was umpired
by Air. {. F.Tauker,ley, who was prompt
and Just in al his decisions. and moi, a
complaint was made by either club.
The Oak Hall boys, by their gentle
manly bearing and good behavior. won
the admiration and commentator of all
who met them, and we hope they will
soon give us another visit. They left
last night for their home, well satisfied
with the days sport.

Whence Did She Come,

An American woman who recently
lectured in st. James Hall London. on
Love, Courtship and Marriage" rath-
er puzzled London Truth, which said:
Much of the lecture was too thorough
ly American to be quite ineligible to
an English audience, whose social Gus
toms differ so entirely in some ways
from those of their Transatlantic cous-
ms. For instance the WORD "ladyn was
usedso completely to the exclusion of
woman" that it was impossible to avoid
the conclusion that there are no women
IN America, but only ladies'. One "lady"
was described as being unhappy in her
marriage, but entirely successful as a
market gardener. Another acted as a
school teacher, and t'boarded around"
"a mode of life that is uncomfortably
suggestive of vague and cratic meals.
