Giant Crabs.

British Columbia is rejoicing in a
curiosity. 1t is two crabs, giant
members Of the crab family, dark
green in color, and measuring up
ward Of four feet i'm diameter, the
largest crab that ever crossed tor
rid sand or climbed cocoanut tree,
and rejoicing in a variety OF names
Of which the "robber crab" is the
most familiar and 'Lirgos !atro" the
scientific. Strange TO say, neither
the specimens secured nor any Of
their kind have ever been known TO
enter the water. They belong TO
the purely land or tree-climbing
family.
The crabs were brought 10 Victoria
by the schooner Norma, cocoanut
laden from Tanning and Washington
Islands. which is now discharging
her cargo. They were secured at
Palmyra Islands, In the South Paci-
fic. and as yet have developed no
dangerous propensities, though quite
willing to give exhibitions OF their
strength, breaking broom handles
and such toys as II they were pipe
stems IL would be the simplest
thing In the world for them TO crush
a mans leg or arm IN a similar way,
but. fortunately, they are slow to
anger or TO action, and take life so
lazily that any one can get out Of
harms way on seeing danger ahead.
One cocoanut day serves "a meal,
the nut being cracked a. IL IL were an
egg. and the kernel slowly deyoured.
In appearance the crabs remind one
Of nothing so much a. oyergrown and
exaggerated spiders, with abnormally
developed bodies and wonderful
wealth Of legs. Captain +. ID. Wal
ker and his sons are very proud OF
their captives, which, they assert,
are as rare "a birds OF paradise

Old Age and Hard Work.

The Lancet says that old people
make "a great mistake when they give
up work. Many men who have made
competency in business and feel
entitled to retire from active work,
find themselves declining in health
and becoming prematurely old for
want OF occupation. In most aged
persons the vital functions continue
in active exercise under normal con-
ditions; but If the regularity and
moderation Of business life are de-
parted from trouble will surely
follow. On the other hand, the Lam
Get held that 'if in any direction il
is allowable for competitors in the
race Of life 10 dispense with self-con-
troll. it would appear that they may,
to great extent, use this liberty with
respect 10 physical and mental exer-
tion." In other words, we must not
eat too much, or drink too much,
but we can study hard and take
plenty Of exercise not only without
harm. but with the best results. and
IL old people wish to live out all the
days they should find plenty 10 do
both for mind and body.

A Choice Game District.

The regioL about Washington fur
nishes more choice game than any
other district I'm the United States.
The extensive swamps and numerous
tributaries afford suitable breeding
ground for woodcock, while, as IL
well known, this part OF the country
is famous for ducks. The latter are
becoming more scarce year by year,
thanks to the efforts OF the pot
hunters, who slaughter the canvas
backs and the redheads with swivel
guns that carry pound and half
OF shot Mt n charge. Unfortunately,
IL Is upon this sort OF unsportsman-
like industry that the local market
for game chiefly depends. IL Is no
unusual thing to hear OF such an er- 2
plot as the killing OF 200 reedbirds
Mt shot. Wild turkeys are ruth
lessly murdered at their roosts in
Virginia and Maryland. The pot
hunters also have IL way OF enticing
the turkeys within point blank range
OF blind by meansof train OF corn,
further attracting the feathered VIC
tins by initiating the turkey call
with quill. On moonlight night
the skillfu and industrious game
shooter will bag as many ns twenty
or thirty wild geese, popping thom as
they sit on the water. Bear meat Is
gaining popularity in this market.
The prairie chickens sold here are
shot in Montana. They gre drawn
and stuffed with prairie grass, and
are sent East in refrigerator cars.
Often they are kept in cold storage
for as much as IA year. Washington

How Lightning Feels.

Something Of n stir was made at
the Ravine House in Randolph, n.
H., by the arrival on Tuesday after
noon Of three dilapidated men. Were
they intoxicated? No. Vagabonds?
Evidently not. Nor were any limbs
broken. But all three had been
burned by electricity from a clear
sky, or which more probably was
discharged from the mountain peak
on which they were sitting into the
clear air above. They were upon the
tiptop Of Mount Adams, watching
thunder-storms below them, when all
were Knocked over. Mr. Gilbert
Trafton at once sprang to his feet,
and he thinks he remembers great
noise. But the Rev. Arthur Patten,
of Gorham, remembers no noise, al
though he did not lose consciousness.
Both speak of hot feeling, Mr..
Trafton being somewhat burned on
each foot and Mr.. Patten rather
more on one foot. The shoes and
trousers of each were badly torn.
Mr.. George Goodwin, of Gorham,
WIS llOTe ScNcIe.l Hutb'' IIobuDit
his fall of several feet bruised him.,
as he was struck quite unconscious
for time, and was badly burned,
from his hair down his neck, body
and legs, to his feet. Both he and
Mr.. Patten were partly paralyzed on
the right side, the effect lasting
about a half hour.
After resting nearly an hour longer,
Messrs. Patten and Trafton were able
to help Mr.. Goodwin down to the
stone hut Of the Appalachian Noun
tain Club, although it was then dark.
Here the night was passed, and next
day five hours work brought the
party down to the hotel. BY this
time Mr.. Goodwin had recovered from
the state Of mind when he would re-
peatedly inquire where he was and
what had happened; but he needed
all the encouragement his compan-
ions could give; and this made the
party seem more light-hearted, on
arrival, than their appearance war

Interesting Dsseription ofths Method
Of Manufacture.

This variety OF Swiss cheese is
largely adapted to the small holder and
factory system, small cow keepers
or depot, where IL is converted into
huge cheeses which are not unknown
even In provincial England, says n
writer in an English exchange. The
temperature Mt which the rennet is
added is from 30 to 95 degrees +.
The best cheese, known as Emmen-
thaler, is made from quite fresh milk,
the milk OF one meal, while the rem
net used Is usually made at the fac
tory, and contains u small quantity
of sour milk, so that 1t is at once n
medium OF communicating to the
milk the ferments which play so
important part In the production OF
the cheese.
This condition is practically one in
which the whey is present in Il given
proportion. The eyes or holes in the
cheese are produced by the formation
Of carbonic acid, and their number
and size indicate very closely the
quality Of the cheese, which Is ripen-
ed mt temperatures varying from 90
to 50 degrees. Sailing lasts consd-
erable time, and Is continued until
about 2 per cent. OF salt is absorbed
by rubbing on the crust. The Gruy-
ere industry is one OF the most inn
portant In France and Switzerland,
md there Is no reason why this var
iety OF cheese should not be manufac-
tured In this country, fine qualities
being often unobtainable, as much Is
produced from skim milk, while the
prices realized are exceptionally good
The curd Is broken at the end OF
about thirty minutes, when IL is
allowed TO settle I'm the bottom OF the
cheese vat, an elaborate copper ves-
sci which has no counterpart In Eng
lish dairying. Here it remains for
from ten to fifteen minutes, In which
the whole mass Is heated to tenn
perature OF from l20 to l30 degrees.
In England this In termed scnlding,
in Switzerland IL Is termed cooking.
IL the cheese Is scaldcd Mt u lower
temperature the cheese Is intended
to ripcn quickly, but II 1t Is intended
to keep for long time "a still higher
temperature is adopted. As sweet
milk is used, and tho process is
rapid, very little acidity Is developed
hence the whey is expelled from the
curd chiefly by heat. Nevertheless,
more whey IL retained than Is usual
In the pressed cheese made In this
country. The curd Is stirred during
the heating process until t. has
acquired certain condition which
the chccsemaker recognizes.

Utah and It's Onyx.

"The only industry In Utah is
gradually becoming an infant OF
large proportions, said A. q. Taylor
OF Salt Lake City. For years the ex-
istence OF onyx beds in the Territory
has been known, but it was not until
last year that syndicate obtained
possession OF three large claims near
Pelican Point and began quarrying
the beautiful stone. Three distinct
veins in broad slabs OF ten TO four
teen inches in thickness are being
successfully worked. The supply
seems TO be inexhaustible. The onyx
is taken out i'm rough blocks or slabs,
rough hewn and fiint-like in appear
aDce. From one to three carloads
Is the present output.
The polishing works are in Salt
Lake. The rough slabs are squared up
and sawed TO their proper thickness.
Then they are placed on rapidly re-
volying grinding machines and
worked with sand and water. Next
the slabs are polished by hand SINH
lar TO marble polishing. Afterward
the finishing touches are put on by
furnishing machine and the surface
made as smooth as glass, and all the
natural beauty OF the stone is shown.
The finished product is white and
yellow in color. Forty men are at
present employed in the works, but
this number will be doubled in short
time. The proprietors expect to
compete with the Mexican onyx, be-
ing confident that the superiority OF
the Utah product will win in the
competition.-(St.Lo Louis sGlobe-Demo-

A Young Eagle.

The engle, as many OF you know, 10
the king among birds, just IA the lion
ie the king among mammals. IL is
strange that these birds which display
the greatest strength when full grown
give no sign OF these qualities in
their youth The royal eagle, just
emerged from the egg, is the most
helpless or, ature under the sun.
Wrapped in n thick white coat OF
down, he slips out OF the shell, and
for many days afterwnrd the young
bird lies huddled against the broast
OF the mother-bird, for it cannot even
sit up straight. Weeks pass by be-
fore it can trot about the nest. The
first sign Of the tapping Of the wings
does not occur until the bird Is ready
to leave the nest.
The young birds are amply fed by
their parents with meat, which the
latter digest in their craws before
feeding it to the little ones. When
they are about half grown the
eagle nest looks like IA slaughter
house well stocked with provisions.
The parent birds scour the neighbor-
hood for miles, gathering all the
prey :hey can.
When the birds are full grown they
are permitted 10 leave the nest. The
parents 20 with them, teaching them
first how 10 fly and then how TO as
sail and steal their prey. by that
time autumn has come, and now the
family separates. The youngsters
leave the parental nest, and some
times roam about for eight or ten
years before they set up an estab-
lishment Of their own and in their
turn raise young birds. In l7lo an
eagle died in Vienna, Austria, who
had lived in captivity for over lOl
year, .-lSt. Louis Star-Sayings.
