A Curious Crab.

There are a great many kinds of crabs, and you have seen some of them, no doubt. do not believe you have ever seen the one am going to tell you abOut-the famous Robber or Cocoa nut Crab. A great crab he is, too, and walks upon the tips of his toes. foot high above the ground.
 He Is a cocOa-nut eater, because where he lives they are the best things he can find. But you would not guess how he gets at the meat in them. When he finds a fallen cocoa-nut he begins tearing away the thick husk and fiber with his strong claws. He knows very well which end to tear it from, too,-the end where the three eye-holes are, which we call the "mOn- keys face" Out of one of these the young cocoa-nut tree would grow. When he has found It he just hammers through one of them with the point of his heavy claw
 But how do you think he gets the meat out? He can not put his claw in. because he has no proboscis, like a butterfly. But he turns himself round and puts in pair of hind pincers, which are very thin. With them he scoops the meat out of the cocoa-nut, and so puts his dinner into his mouth with his hind feet
 He does not waste the husk either. He lives in a deep burrow, like rab- bit, and likes to sleep softly. So he lines the burrow with this fiber, picked clean and fine, just as if he were going to make coeoa-nut mating of it. After taking bath every night he sleeps soundly upon it. He gets so fat in his old age that he carries about on his body more than quart of pure oil- Our Little Ones.

Teddy, tome in the stall I want

Teddy, tome in the stall. I want to 'hisper to 'ou."
 Teddie dropped the brush with
 which he was decorating the goat stall
 and sat with Percy. under the manager.
 |" Ets yum away from mammas and
 big sisters that make us do tings we don't ant to, said Percy.
 ''And leave the goats?" asked Ted dy, opening his eyes wide with sur- prise.
 ..E-s" answered Percy, slowly. 'NO, 'ets take 'em," and Percy jumped to his feet, took the harness from the nails, and began harnessing Trot and Brisk. '','Ou go and ask Mary for some crackers and ere is lots of berries on the road, and ell ask the cooks in the houses for tea, ere won't be any mammas to say-"ou must dink milk, Percy and Teddy'-'e'll dink tea from a bowl like at man 'esterGay."
 By this time the goats were harnessed, and the two little boys, with a few crackers in the bottom of the cart, drove away. The goats trotted along brlskly. There was long stretch of road without any houses, and no one missed the little boys, whose mammas had gone to the city for the day.
 Percy and Ted felt very big as they drove along with their hats on the backs of their heads. They came to a lane, and thought they would drive through it to the end, and stay there all night-for they had heard their papas say that tramps did not Keep on the main road. They had not driven far into the lane when voice called out: Good afternoon; wait minute" The boys started with surprise. There was the very man that drank the bowl of tea.
 Where are you going?"
 ''To Tamford, answered Percy, in trembling voice.
 This is not the way" said the man. Drive in here to. these woods. I'll show you"
 Let's go home, Percy" whispered Ted; 'I don't want to run awayn
 Come" said the man, and he turned the goats through the bars into the woods. The boys were too fright ened to speak. After taking the boys some distance into the woods, he told them to get out of the wagon. He then unharnessed the goats. and, with out speaking, led them deeper in the woods by rope.
 Ted's and Percy's mammas and papas were driving up from the boat in the early dusk when Ted's mamma called out: ''Why, that looks like Trot and Brisk" as two goats were led by the wagon.
 At the sound of their names both goats answered by prolonged cry Ba-a. Ted's papa sprang out of the carriage, the man dropped the rope with which the goats were tied, and ran away with all his might The goats were tied to the back axle of the carriage and they all started for home. Great was the surprise and terror when 1t was found that the boys, the car riage and harness were gone.
 A vigorous search showed which way he wagon was driven. The tracks were closely followed, and the two lit lie boys, very frightened and tired, an- 'wered to the calls given by the search ITS.
 Ted and Percy decided that mammas lnew better than little boys what was x 'est for them They stayed two months onger in the country, but tine goats we're fastened in the stalls with pad ocked chains, and the harness hung in , locked closet. Ted and Percy were lot allowed to harness the goats again. -CtriStiGn Union.

AT DAWN.

At dawn the world is at its best And every new born day Finds nature bright, refreshed with rest Or so the poets say At dawn its sweetest, blithest song Sings each full -throated bird, Joining in chorus full and strong Or so, at least, I've heard. At dawn the air is cool and clear, Bright is the sky o'erhead; Fresh, young and fair all things appear Or so I've heard 1t said. This saving clause have to keep Repeating, for, you see, At dawn Pm always sound asleep, And always hope to be.
