How Australian Boys Catch Crabs.

Travellers who have spent any time
among the natives of Australia VOW that
the boys of that country earn money in
the most curious way ever heard of. In
some parts Of the country fishing is
quite an industry. Among other things
caught are crabs and crayiisb.
But instead of catching them in nets,
as we do, boys are employed. and this
is the method: A boy wades out where
the crabs are thick. Thrusting his foot
out, he gives prominence to his big toe,
which, wagging about in an enticing
manner, he uses as bait
In short time he gets bite, and
quickly drawing up his leg he breaks
off the crabs feelers and throws them
into basket which is slung over his
shoulder
Every now and then deep sea visitor
strays into the crab settlement, and see
ing the tempting bait lays hold OF it.
Then there issues from the owner ,e
that bait an unearthly yell, and all tlle
boys come running out to stare, entirely
regardless of the crabs hanging to tho
several parts Of their anatomy and loav-
ing the poor boy with "bite'' to bat
tie with the unwelcome catch as best he
can. Boston Globe.

just think Of soft shell crab weigh
ing % ounces and measuring 21 3
inches from tip to tip of the extended

S. r. Scoggins yesterday, with two
crates of other soft crabs, shipped from

Webster.
In a letter which accompanied the
shipment Mr.. Webster wrote that it
was the largest soft shell crab he had
ever seen OF heard Of. Mr.. Scoggirs,
who has been in the fish business over
90 years, said he had never seen one
which even approached in size this
giant soft crab. He sent the crab by ex-
press to the Smithsonian institute at
Washington for permanent preservation.

A NIHlLlST PLOT.
Truth About the Accident to the Grand
Duchess xenfa of Russia.

There is great excitement in imperial
circles at st. Petersburg, according to
trustworthy information, because of the
accident to the Grand Duke Michaolo-
witch and the Grand Duchess Xenia, the
daughter Of the czar, ON the evening of
their marriage few weeks ago. The
telearaphic dispatches which were sent
from Russia at the time declared that
OIL the way from Peterhof palace, where
the wedding was celebrated, to the cas-
tie of Prosha, where the honeymoon was
to be passed. the coachman's eyes had
beon blinded by the bright calcium
lights. the carriage had been overturned
and the occupants severely bruised.
But this report, it now appears, was
highly colored by order of the imperial
censor, who wields such autocrat1c pow
Ell over the press and telegraph offices IN
Russia. The truth appears to be that
the accident was the result of nihilis-
tic conspiracy to murder the young
pair.
On the way to the castle the newly
welded couple had to cross bridge
spanning a dangerous cut. The bridge
had been tampered with by the conspir-
ators, co that when the imperial car
riago rushed over it tho tinbers gave
way, and the carriage and occupants
fell to the bottom. The cOachman was
so badly wounded that he died before
he could be removed to hospital. The
grand duchess was badly bruised about
the head and body and had her right
arm broken. 1t is also feared that she
was injured internally. Her young hus-
band had also severe cuts about the
head
The excitement, of course, was intense
in the city when the truth became
known, despite the efforts to suppress it
and to spread the news that it was an
accident.
Many reasons are assigned as the mo-
tive for the attempt to kill tho favorito
daughter Of his majesty. It had been
expected, some say, that the czar, i'll
honor of the wedding, would pardon a
number of political prisoners. When it
became known that these hopes were
not to be realized, the nihilists deter
mined to revenge themselves in way
which would hit the ruler hardest--the
death of his daughter. They almost ac-
complished their purpose. The czar and
other members of tho family fear that
tho wretches, maddcned by the partial
failure OF their plans, may try some
other way Of seeking revenge. The po-
lice for this reason have orders to be
unusually vigilant. --New York Trib-

NEW FOUND WEALTH.
Over Sc, 900 Discovered In an Old German
Family Biblc.

Over Sc, 900 Discovered In an Old German
Family BibIc.
James Pateman is wholesale dealer
in potatoes who lives on Federal street,
Camden. His wife's maiden namo was
Oberstal, and her mother sold fruit and
vegetables for so years under the old
Market street sheds. She died in 1879,
and her daughter was surprised to fiud
how small her savings were, although
she had been very thrifty woman. 1t
was believed, however, that she had CIV
ell her money to frolicking spendthrift
son, and the matter was forgotten.
Two weeks ago q relative called on
Mrs. Pateman to ask what had become
of the mother's German Bible, saying
that it contained the family births and
deaths and should be looked up. Mrs.
Pateman, after some reflection, remem-
bered that an old trunk contained somo
Of her mothers clothing and at once
made search therein The Bible was
found--a huge folio, IS inches square
AND it contained much besides good
precepts, for between the leaves nestled
q 5-20 United States bond for 5000,
with all the coupons attached, and
$3.50 in legal tender notes. Further
search brought to light nest of gold
and notes i'll battered old tin tea cady.
Some of the eagles are dated 1890, and
there are over $50 III 81 pieces.
In all the treasure trove is about 81,
100. Mrs. Patoman already wishes she
had never seen the money, as about 30
nephews and nieces are going to law
for q share Of it. t.---Philadelphia Times.

CHASING THE WALRUS.
How He Is Harpooned and Then Finished
With Cold Lead.


Arnold Pike tells of walros hunt in
Bird bay, to the north Of Spitzbergtn.
The bay was full of fast ice, but eaet.
ward the sea was fairly open, and the
hunter was rowing slowly back to tho
sloop when the harpooner suddenly laid
aside his glass and headed the boat for
black mass which the mirage magni-
fed into the size of small house, but
which was really walrus.
1.-The walrus raises his head, and we
are motionless, says Mr.. Pike. 1T is
intensely still, aud the scraping Of
piece of ice along the boat seems like
the roar of railway train passing over
head on some bridge. Down goes tho
head, and we glide forward again. Tie
walrus is uneasy. Again and again he
raises his head and looks around with
at our bacl1 and he never notices us.
At last we are within few feet, and
with shout Of 'Vock op, gamlingv
(WalSe up, old boy), which breaks the
stiffness like shot, the harpooner is cn
his feet, his weapon clasped in both
hands above his head.
GAS the walrus plunges into the sea

a quick twist to prevent the head from
