The NIan.Faced Crab.

One of the most singular-l looking
creatures that ever walked the earth
or SWAN the waters under the earth''
is the world famous man-faced crab of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length. yet the head is fitted with a
face which is the perfect counterpart
of that of Chinese coolie; veritable
missing link. with eyes, nose and
mouth all clearly defined. This Gu
rious and uncanny creature, besides
the great likeness it bears to human
being in the matter Of facial features,
is provided with two legs. which seem
to grow from the top Of its head and
hang down over the sides of its face.
Besides these legs two .feelers" each
about an inch in length, grow:from the
'.chin" of the animal, looking for all
the world like 3 coloneps forked
beard. These man-faned crabs fairly
swarm in the inland seas Of Japan.

A Diamond Necklace.

A diamond necklace was possessed
by Nine. Godfrey de St. Hilaire, the
wife of the famous French naturalist.
It was one of the chiefest of her econ
tentments, as Hindoo women aptly
term their jewels. One day, madame
missed her necklace. There was a
terrible turmoil in the house; and all
the servants, down to the foolish, fat
scullion, were suspected, but in turn
proved their innocence. At last it was
remembered that M. de St. Hilaire had
pet monkey, and, on a search being
made in the '.glory hole" of the quad
rumane, the precious bauble was dis
covered hidden away, with a white
satin shoe. several cigar ends, apencil-
case and a decomposed apple. The
renowned naturalist calmly observed
that he had frequently seen the monkey
playing with the necklace. why did
you not take it from himp" Indignantly
asked his spouse. II thought it be-
longed to him." replied M. de St.
Hilaire. He evidently thought there
was nothing non-natural in an ape pos
sessing a diamond necklace as his per-
sonal operty.-Argonaut

q positive and radical cure for nervous

MARRIAGE NOT A FAILURE.

The Husband Found the va1uo of q
Vito Before He Paid for Her.
A Fall River clergyman tells an in
teresting story of a wedding fee. He
was settled in New York city and one
day had church wedding. After
the ceremony the groom handed him
from his pocket book wad which the
pastor subsequently found to be wrap
pers of paper to the number of about
a Dozen inside of which was bright
cent He didn't know how to regard
the token, whether as a joke or in
some other light Time passed, how
ever, the minister wondering what
had become Of the pair of whom he
only knew that they were intending to
live in New YORK.
>. One day, the first anniversary of the
marriage, a letter came from the man
enclosing a check for $50, which he
wished the pastor to accept as his
proper wedding fee. No explanation
Was given of the original compensa-
ton, and the clergyman was LETT to
eonstrue it as best he could; he was,
however, inclined to believe after the
receipt of the $50. that the man must
have been poor at the time OF the
ceremony. and Though why one cent
was chosen remains mystery folded
the sum SO effectually that others see
ing the paper might have no idea OF
what was in it, and particularly that
the bride might not know the amount.
1t is evident that the man had pros
pered during the year, and that he
considered he had got his moneys
worth. Fall River News.

A Fortified Horse.

There was recently taken from a
small creek near Springtown, ]. T., a
genuine curiosity in the shape of q
petrified horse which had, beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed of the
stream for many years The creek,
which is known as Mason's ford, has
been dwindling away for some time,
owing to the failure OF the springs by
which it is fed and is now but shall
low rivulet, and number of Indian
relics human bones, ETC., have been
taken from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by q
deposit of loose limestone and was dis
covered only by chance, some boys
wading in the creek catching sight of
portion of one leg. Examining this,
it was found to have turned entirely
into stone, which led to the whole be-
ing dug out and carried to shore. The
horse, large one, seems to be the
work of cunning sculptor, SO COM
pletely has the petrificatiOn been, even
the hairs of the main and tail being
converted into stone. In the neck and
piercing one of the largest veins is an
arrow, in all probability the cause OF
its death, and which probably struck
it as it stood on the banks of the
creek, into which it rolled in its death
agony. Its sides still show the marks
of saddle. and its TANKS are ,cut as
by spurs used with desperation. but no
brand Oh other mark gives a clew to
its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken of, but
with this exception it is perfect.
It lis to be presented to the Smith
sonian Institution, though several
agents for dime museums have endeav-
ored to secure it for their enterprises.
