A Crabs Antiplthy to Dirt.

Habits of thorough cleanliness are not
only required by good taste aud good
breeding, but are essential to health.
Those enemies to life and health called
germs" are always found in connec-
tiOn with dirt. Most animals inst net.
lively avoid uncleanliness. The bird
takes its morning dip in the lake or
stream; the elephant treats himself to a
shower bath as often as he likes; dogs
love to bathe and swim in the water, as
do many other animals. Even so hum
BILE creature as the crab, which does
not receive credit for much intelligence
has a great antipathy to dirt. These
curious creatures have singular habit
of tearing o their legs on sundry occa-
sions. For instance. ii crab gets badly
scared at thunder storm or n loud
noise in the water, it straightway tears
oil a leg or two. A crab often loses one
or more legs in combat with other crabs.
A still more curious thing is, that when
crabs legs aIe lost in this way, they
grow on again in few weeks time, or,
rather, new ones grow out in place of
the old ones. Perhaps this is why the
crab values leg so little; he can get u
new one just as good as the old one by
simply waiting for it to grow.
But We said that crabs are eXtraordi-
nariry neat in their habits. These Great.
ures have such dislike for dirt that it.
by chance, one of them happens to get
one of his legs soiled in any way, he i'm
mediately pulls it off. n missionary in
the Samoan Islands tells story Of
crab that was going out one morning in
search of food, when 1t accidentally
soiled one of its legs. 1t Immediately
wrenched off the leg, and hobbled back
to its hole, TO rema II in solitary confne-
ment until it should grow again. 1t is
claimed that crabs have been known to
pull oil all their legs in the same man
ner, and then laboriou,ly drag them
selves home by their nippers to wait for
new legs to grow.--Fayp,, Fieid and
