Some time ago the old gentleman found
the young man at his house and think

proceeded to speak his mind very free

gentleman concluded he had made Il
mistake and left the house himself.

Never seed a soft-shelled lobster?
We'll, that's not surprisin'. You sec,

good that they always get ate first
The griZZled old fisherman wrung the
salt water out of his whiSkerS as he
talked, having just landed through the
surf in his boat with fine cargo of
frcSh-caught Holsters.
"A soft-shell lobster does not turn up

went on. When l catch one my wife

Well, you can bet. Fried in boiling
lard. just like a newly-shed crab, it's
the finest thing on earth in the way
of provender. Something like a crab.
YOU know, but a great deal more de-
licious. Delmonico would give $40 Il
dozen for 'em, only that they can't be
got for any price.
You see, when the Holsters are she'd
ding they hunt for holes among the
rocks to hide in. Until they get their
new coats they don't usually walk
abroad. but stay quietly in dark cram

Just the way it is with a lobster. His

comes when he must swell or bust He

great strain on his health, and some
times he dies in getting through with
it. He has to do the same thing a
good many times before he gets his
full growth, but after that he doesn't
shed any more.
This is the season when Holsters
shed. Most of those we catch are
busters. That is what we call those
that are on the point of changing their
coats. To do it they go way out to
sea, so that just now we have to go
twenty miles from land to catch them.
1t doesn't take much skill. You see,
we find them wherever there is rocky
bottom. Out where we go to look for
them there are great reefs of rocks

That the civilized part of us is chang
ing our physical structure in answer to
the conditions under which we live is
Il fact to which the poor little toes in
the corners of our boots might tear
fully testify if we could consult them
in the spirit. This member, which our
prehistoric lady ancestors doubtless
found aeSthetically useful when. while
%rasping with the foot an article of
food. they elegantly elevated the little
toe from the others, as the little finger
of the damsel from the teacup of to-
day, has now so fallen from its high
estate that in 1925 per cent of men
and women the first joint of the little
toe has been replaced by a solid, in
flexible bone. 1t is to be supposed that
if we continue for few more acons
to walk with our junior toe doubled
up like Il leaf in book we shall some
day look all around our foot and find
no little toe at all. AS the process CON
tinues and each rushing cycle knocks
off another toe we shall finally have
in place of the present artistically be-
fringed pcdiments a pair of solid pads.

JUGGLING BUNDLE BEES,

''"" boys captured
Colony of the Insects.
While on recent trip out into the

several nests of humble bees in very
simple but effective manner The par
ticular field which was being plowcd
over for the fall sowing was especially
infected with the troublesome insects,
and plowboy the day before had
been badly stung. The farmer asked
me to go with him and see the boys
jug the bees" A common brown jug
half filled with water was taken along.
one of the boys led the way to an cs-
p"cially large and dangerous looking
nest lying on the Stubblc close to the
ground. The jug was cautiously de-
posted by the side of the nest. Then.
with Il long branch of Il tree, the nest
was violently stirred and the lad fled
for his life. In Il perfect swarm the
bees flew out to see who had dared as
Sault their. castle, and circlcd angrily
about, buZzing violently all the time.
From Il safe distance the farmer and
his boys threw clods of dirt and stones
at the angry insects. They seemed to
be looking for their enemy. Gradually
their numbers grew less, and at last
there were no bees to be seen.
Let us look in the jug" said the
farmer, as he led the way. 1t was
picked up and its contents poured out
on to the ground with difficulty, as 1o+
humble bees, by actual count, had
flown into the jug in a vain effort to
find the destroyer of their homo and
had drowned. l walked back with one
of the boys to spring to fill the jug
with clear water, preparatory to an
attack upon another colony of bees.
As we trudged over the sunny fields
