"The Delaware aud Raritan Canal

should be widened and deepened to ac-

Ths American with Drawn and brain does
not see the necessity for titles Of nobility,
dos not care for elevation by descent, he can
reach out and pluck the stars
But with Drawn or brain impaired, man
is badly handicapped in the mad race for sue
cess which is the marked characteristic Of
the present age.
The physical system is a most intricate
piece of machinery. 1t ought to be kept well
regulated, so that it will work harmoniously
in all its parts, then it is capable Of an
immense amOut of work.
IL Is said that watch, If expected to keep
perfect time, must be wound daily. IL will
not keep good time unless it runs regular.
More men break down because they don't
''run regular" than for any other reason.
1t IS claimed by physicians that few men
are killed by hard work. 1t is to the ir-
regularities of modern social life that the
high death rate IS due. Men burn their
candle at both ends, then wO.ider why it
burns out so quickly.
The main thing in keeping the human

nineteen apprentices at various times,
only seven Of yhnm are tonsorial artists.
Some boys ere too nervous to acquire
the ability, and particularly cigarette
smokers. Others are too lazy. Still
others have not the suaveness necessary,
for successful barber must be a polite
man. Others have not the essential
mechanism or cannot attain to the re-
quisite lightness Of touch. But morbid
peculiarities are great factors in uniting
a candidate. For instance, have Just
dismissed az apprentice because of his
inordinate antipathy to warts. When a
customer who is the pcssessor of wart
is down in chair at the boys mercy he
shaves all around it with the utmost
care; then deyilish grin distorts his
features, the expression being the fun
MEAT ever saw, and he cuts of the
wart.a The customer rises and discovers
his face,bleeding terribly, and the result
is a row and lost customer.

what Makes a Boiled lobster Red

The answer to the question, what
causes a Holsters shell to turn red when
boiled says the Scientific Ameri1Gn. in
general terms is that the salts which 60
to make the color in the shell undergo a
chemical change 10y being sub ected TO
the action Of hot water This answer
can hardly be a salts ,actory one TO a
person seeking specific information on
the sub ect. 1t is, however, the only
answer that can be given at present.
The matter is one which has apparently
excited more popular than scientific
curiosity, for whereas the question has
often been asked, il has not as yet re-
ceived a satisiactory-thati is, specific
answer. 1t is a question for the
chemist rather than for the naturalist,
and that, probably, is the reason why it
has not received more attention.
1t is not only the lobster but all
crustaceans that undergo this change of
color on being boiled. salt wafer
crustaceans become redder in the process
than fresh water crustacears. The addi-
ton of common table salt 10 the water
in which the creature Is boiled will con-
uu1c ~ greater ItuutS-- LttutA u -
the sodium or the chlorine in the salt
that helps to this result do not know.
The creature itself has nothing to do
with tie change in its shell, for if the
shell be taken from the living crustacean
and then boiled, the result will be ey-
actly the same 1t has been suggested
that red may be the basic color of the
shell, and that the chemical change
viii, n takes place is merely the elimina-
tion Of the other colors. The OBJ cotton
is that there is no evidence of removal
of color shown in the water. The OBJ
ject;on is not vital, however.

to laying Livery person has his

Beans have always had something
mysterious connected with them ever
since the days when Pliny wrote of
Pytt agoras's rule against eating them,
''that beans contain the souls of the
dead And long ago in the city Of
Rome the priests said that the dark
lines on bean blossoms were letters.
Still the modern miad is doubtful as to
the success OF the said priests in reading
such alphabet. But the lard of mys-

a FrIena to Unsneee.sfaI sportsmen.

Down at the market, says 4 Boston
gossiper in the american Culti5at0r,
there is a facetious dealer in game, who
Is constantly buyingat this season Of the
year all kinds of beach birds, as well as
the usual assortment of partridge, quail
and lsoodcock. Although some epicures
wish their wild fowl rather gamey be-
fore being cooked, the dealer only suffers
a portion of his stock TO become SO, and
has driven a thriving trade in birds that
have but Just come in. The occupant
of al adjoining stall, whose customers
ali Ike their birds rather ''gamey.n as it
is called, was very curious to know how
It was that the other had such demand
for fresh birds and obtained such su-
perior prices for them, and as reward
for his close observations he obtained
the secret the other afternoon, when a
bron..ed young man, clad in the garb Of a
sportsman, with shooting acket, leg
ging', game bag and gun, dropped in
and vas heard to say: ''No luck again
on this trip, Mr.. -. so you'll have to
