At the most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its center, and the
case of the back came away in one piece.
The claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for long time
1t was proceeding of extreme deli
cacy, considering that all the flesh of the
great claw had to be passed through the
small base. During the operation one
claw came off altogether, and this must
have seemed to the lobster lady a serious
misfortune, as it will not grow to its full
size again until the second year. The
tail and legs gave very little trouble, and
the body, when thus undressed, proved
to be of pale blue.
The shell casting over, the lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed a
signal for the attack of every creature in
the tank.
The defenseless victim babe fair TO sue
cumb to the fury of her enemies, when
the male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his helpless bet
ter half, he fought her assailants relent-
lessly Day and night did he watch over
her, until her shell was sufficiently hard
ened to protect her in fighting her own
battles.
When this happy moment arrived he
deliberately picked up the old claw
broke it in his nippers, and ate the meat
He then dug hole in the sand, placed il
it the broken bits of shell, buried them
and piled number of small stones above
the grave Youths Companion.

The unequaled success of ALLoocK's Pc
RoUs PLAsrERs as an external remedy has
stimulated INSCRIPTIONS parties to put
forth limitations, which they endeavor to
sell on the reputation of ALLcocK's. 1t is
an absurdity to speak of them in the same
category as the genuine and original porous
plaster. Their pretensions are unfounded
their Wanted merit unsupported by facts,
their alleged superiority to or equality with
ALLcocK's a false pretense.

ball falls among the opposing players,
which makes Martins Ferry "off-side, y
as it is called; that is, they are not at
liberty to touch the ball until it is first
touched by 4 man from the Wheeling
side, or until the man who kicked the
ball has passed between the ball and
his own side. Then the opponents gen.
orally gain possession of the ball aud
advance it some distance toward the
goal they are trying to reach.
+ A kick is always uncertain. There
are six popular brands of kicks, viz:
] the drop kick" made by letting the
ball drop from the hand and kicking it
the very instant 1t rises from the
ground; the "place kick" made by
kicking the ball after 1t has been placed
on the ground; the punt, made by let
ting the ball fall from the hands and
the "kick off," being "place kick
from the center OF the field, but never
scoring a goal; the chick out" being
either q "place" or "drop kick" used
after safety" has been scored; and
the free kick" being where the oppO-
neuts are refrained from touching the
ball.
A "falr catch" is a catch made from a
kick by one of the opponents, provided
the catcher makes mark with his heel
where he Is standing, and does not
move from that spot. he is at liberty
then to attempt to.kick goal for his side
which is lined up back Of him, and the
opposing generally is still farther back.
No one is permitted to be in front of
the ball until it touches the kicker's
toe. The second half closes in another
| forty-ive minutes.

the ball must be kicked In order to send
10 through the goal. II the goal Is
made two more points are scored. II
not, the ball Is again put in play at the
twenty-five yard line. And IL the man
lying on the ground aud holding the
ball allows the ball to touch the ground
before II is kicked, the opposite side,
which Is lined up back OF the goal line,
isat liberty to capture the ball. II the
goal Is successfully kicked the ball Is
brought to the middle of the field. The
ball goes to the losing side, which
begins the play again by "kick of, I"
or sometimes with a wedge. In forty
minutes from the start the referee
blows his whistle and the first hall Is
over.
In ten minutes the second half has
begun, with the possession Of the two
goals reversed. Sometimes one team
may be forced back to its own goal, and
to prevent the opposing side from max
ing touchdown" the goal guard re-
ceives the ball from another player on
his side either by pass, kick, or snap
back. he touches 1t to the ground back

goal aud put into play.by the other side.
This play is called safety" and
counts the opponents two points.
1t is called a safety" because the
closing side considers it safer to make
that forfeit Of two points than to run
the chances Of the opponents making a
touchdown" and kicking goal, which
counts six points. There is only one
other possible score. 1t is made when a
goal is kicked from the field and counts
five points. II the play is successfully
made single time by team in season

remainder OF the year.
II three lawns have been made by the
Martins Ferry team and the ball has not
been advanced two-thirds of the required
five yards before the bail goes TO the
other side, the kick is generally utalized.
AS is known by q certain signal, a GER
tain player is to kick the ball toward
the opponents goal. OF course, the

of Wheeling, w. Va, is the candidate
in this vicinity. "Ham" Burtt, as he IS
Familiarity termed, is flint glass woi X
