Abeut the Lobster Family.

The lobster propels itself by means
of thin plates attached to the body
which it uses as oars. Its eggs are
attached to the under side of the body
and carried about, and to protect
them from rocky bottoms the tail of
the animal is doubled up under it,
completely covering them. There are
said to be Holsters in the Mediterranean
which have no claws.
The crab is higher order of animal
than the lobster. The fddled crab is
so called from the peculiar shape and
motion of its claw. 1t has set of
grinding teeth in the anterior portion
of IS stomach, and a grinding move
ment is kept up almost continuously.
The eye of the crab is very peculiar,
consisting of series of tubes bound
together, each tube representing
single eye. He sees sipglY by manner
of a mosaic. The long keelers of
crab are designed for reaching into
crevices of the rock after its prey.
The giant of all crabs is found in the
bay of Jeddo. Its legs are Il feet
long and it scarcely has body enough
to hold them together. The hermit
crab is a queer sort of animal,
which takes up its habitation in
shells vacated by other animals. If
hermit crab was placed in a tub of
water with several shells it would eX-
anime them all, and then select that
best adapted to its comfort. If two or
three crabs were put among the same
shells they would often fight for the
best shell. The hermit often travels
about in conjunction with polyp as a
means ofprOtection froni the octopus.
The polyp does the fighting, while the
hermit carries him about and collects
food for both.
The palm crab lives in ooacoanut
groves. 1t tears of the husk with its
claws, hammers through the shell, and
then lifts out the meat in chunks with
Is pincers. The Palm crab has a
special breathing apparatus which
enables it to live out of
water. The most peculiar of all these
crabs is certain species which live
in the mountains. The animals keep
we'll out Of the way during the day-
time, but they are fond of making
moonlight excursions in little groups
20 wet their gills in water. They rot
infrequently stop Al vegetable gardens
in their marches, and The damage they
do make the farmers their enemies.
The barnacle is of the same general
species as the lobster and the crab.

A Brave Boy.

Luther Krom, of Kripplebush, Ulster
county, n. Y, was crushed to death
near that place recently. Krom was
10 years of age, and he heroicaliy sac
rificed his own life to save little sis
ter. Krom started out after load of
hoop-poles on the Shawangunk Noun
tsins. taking with him three sisters and
one brother. On the return trip he
took the youngest girl on his lap and
the Others sat on top of the hoop poles
in the rear part of the vehicle. When
about halfway home young Krom
turned around to see if his sisters were
comfortable, when the horses suddenly
turned out of the road, and the wagon,
striking log, it was upset. The chill.
dren in the rear part of the wagon
escaped without a scratch. Luther
Krom and his little sister we're pinned
fast under the heavy load of wood
krom was in such 2 position that he
could save his sister if he sacrificed
himself, and the brave bow did it. His
sisters and his little brother tried to
eXtricate him, but could not. They ran
home, and willing neighbors were soon
found, who hurried to the scene of the
accident. Young Krom was found
dead with the reins firmly clasped in
his hands. His little sister Lucy was
unhurt. and she was found asking the
boy who had bravely given up his own
life TO save hers why he didn't speak TO
her. The lads funeral was the largest
in many years in that pars of Ulster
county.

Crooked by Nature.

Circus proprietors have been spend
ing q pile of money during the
past few years in telegraphing to Farm
er Edward j. Brown, who lives a few
miles from Hackensack, n. J. Farm
er Brown is not a Circassian lady or a
snake-charmer, and ne wouldn't prove
much of an attraction in a side-show
himself, but he owns an animal which
seems destined to climb up the hill of
fame Just as soon as the side-show
season opens next spring. The curios-
ity is a donkey, now over a year old.
There is nothing the matter with the
donkey's feet, but, like some pretty
girls, its head is turned. The head
grows right out of the back, almost a
foot from the shoulders, and is i'm
movably fixed so that it cannot be
twisted or turned. There is a sad
look always in the donkey's eyes, as if
be saw man too far away to be
reached with his heels. The donkey
can run backward as fast as an Ordi-
nary animal can go straight ahead.
When feeding him Farmer Browp
places a peck measure filled with oats
on the donkey's back, and he has only
to reach out his tongue in order to get
them. The demand for this animal
freak is daily growing greater, and Mr..
Brown now considers the donkey of
more value than the farm.

TALE OF AHANDKERCHIEI
Lost In the Alps It Almost Causes q


Tragedy---A Moral.
List 20 the thrilling tale of hand
kerchief. Not many seasons since
fair and very beautiful Buffalo girl lost
her handkerchief in climbing the Alps,
and although we may fancy she
searched long and zealously in the
shadows of the mountain pathway, she
ne'er found it. A few hours after 4
party of tourists, numbering two. and
consisting of newly welded husband
and wife whose marriage rites had been
performed by BnffalO clergyman but
a few short weeks before in the brides
native home at Groveland, Livingston
county, passed over the same road,
and the brides affrighted steed back
ing and rearing at sight of the white
handkerchief at the roadside; we'll
nigh plunged over the precipice. The
husband hastily dismOunted and
picked up the handkerchief, and
handed it to his wife who put it in her
pocket and henceforth it became as
her own, for the name on the border,
which she supposed to be that of some
English dame, was not to be found on
the register of the mountain inn
where they spent the night. From
that brief blissful wedding journey the
bride returned to America to attend
the funeral of her father-in-law in
Canada. and while visiting a friend in
her native place, Groyeland, she
CHANGED TO mention to a kinswoman
the curious circumstances of finding
the handkerchief, and her pleasure,
since she was unable to get clue to
the owner, of being justified in re-
tanning 80 dainty bit of cambria
in her own possession. About
one year after, having returned
meanwhile to Europe, she died in Gen
eva, Switzerland, where she had re-
sided since her brief trip to America.
In her last will and testament she or
dained that her wardrobe should be
given to her kinswomen at Groveland,
y. Y. In the summer of 1885, q young
gallant from Buffalo CHANGED to be Wis
iting in Groveland, and one day in
playing lawn-tennis with him his fair
young hostess dropped her handker-
chief on the lawn. With his accus-
toned courtesy he dashed across the
lawn and seized the handkerchief
which lay like snowflake, on the
green expansc, when his startled eye
caught sight of familiar name on the
border. Perhaps the original owner Of
the mouchoir can tell why his hand
trembled and his cheek blanched. as
in restoring the bit of cambria to his
companion, he said, slightly faltering:
"Doyou know Miss -" repeating
name on the handkerchief.
why, no. Do you?" said she.
Then pray tell me" said he, evad-
ing the answer. ''how did you come in
possession of her handkerchief"
Why" replied she, Il may say that
inherited it. A lately deceased kins-
woman left me a portion of her ward
robe. and have always had peculiar
feeling about this handkerchief (Which
was among her things), because it so
nearly caused her death" detailing TO
him the circumstances related above.
"My kinswoman, added she. al
ways supposed that il belonged origin
ally to an English lady"
The handkerchief was without more
ado entrusted to the keeping of the
hero of the tennis field, who returned
it 10 its first owner.
