TAKE TIME FOR HOME LIFE.
The Mistake That the Busy
American All Too Often Makes.


There are no buster people in the
world than Americans. The rush and
intensity of our business life excites
the constant wonder of foreigners ac-
customed to more leisurely methods,
says the New York Press. 1t is ques-
ton if American men do not work too
hard and too fast not merely for their
own good, but for the highest good of
their families In their earnest desire
to win material benefits for their wives
and children they frequently toll with
such unwearying industry that eating
and sleeping come to seem to them like
impertinences, and they are hardly
more than transient visitors in their
households
In the old Greek and Roman reli-
gions the father of the family was the
priest of the family. A profound sig-
nificance underlies this ancient cOncep-
ton. 1t is but an embodiment of the
eternal truth that the highest moral
responsibilities dcvolve upon man in
his character of husband and father.
That the married man of to-day often
finds himself unable to spend any con-
siderable portion of his waking hours
with his own family is owing largely
to the stress of business life and to the
ambitions fostered in country whose
citizens are welcome to the highest pO-
sitiOns in the land if they can win
them. But this constant struggle for
material welfare should not be permit
ted to increase so far that the things
that are more excellent" are forgotten
or ignored.
Sometimes child dies, and then the
busy father may realize that it was in
deed little stranger who came to him
and went away again. He had watched
the growth of his business with intense
interest and he knew every aspect of
it; but he had not had time to watch
the growth of child's mind and char
acter. The American wife and mother
can change in great measure this or
der of things by holding up true ideals
of what constitutes success in life and
of what makes home worthy OF
the name; for the husband in a great
| majority of cases is guided by the wife
and will bring back to her what she
gives to him. If life to her means moth.
ing but money and social success she
binds her husband to a wheel that will
! gradually crush the best that is in him
But if it means a moral development
whose source of power is a sympathetic
and ennobling home life she will take
care that her husband has time to live

a PIlL-MAKING CRAB.
The Queer Habits of an Interesting Little
Creature.


Creature.
Mr.. Collingwood, in his "Rambles Of
a Naturalist" gives an entertaining ac-
count of these tiny creatures, which
are mostly of about the size of pea,
though q few are as large as filberts.
He found them abundant on the shores
of the Malay peninsula, his attention
being first called to them by seeing the
+ beach, after the going down of the tide,
covered with loose powdery sand and
holes of various sizes Looking more
closely. he discovered that little radi-
ating paths converged among the litter
of sand to each hole, and that the sand
itself was in minute balls.
The instant | approached peculiar
twinkling in the sand was visible,
which required quick eye to recog-
nize as the simultaneous and rapid re-
treat of a multitude of tiny crabs into
their holes, not single one remaining
visible.
Kneeling down and remaining mo-
tionless for few minutes, noticed a
slight evanescent appearance, like a
flash or a bursting bubble, which the
eye could scarcely follow. This was
produced by one or more of the crabs
coming to the surface and instantly
darting down again, alarmed by my
proximity. 1t was only by waiting like
statue that | could induce them to
come out and set to work.
Coming cautiously to the mouth of
the hole, the crab waited to recon-
hotter, and if satisfied that no enemy
was near, it would venture about its
own length from its lurking place; then
rapidly taking up particles of sand in
its claws, it deposited them in groove
beneath the thoraX.
As it did so little ball of sand was
rapidly projected as through its mouth.
This it seized with one claw and de-
posted on one side, proceeding in this
manner until the smooth beach was
covered with little pellets, or pills, cor
responding in size to its own dimen-
sions. 1t was evidently it's method of
extracting particles of food from the
sand.
Imade many attempts to catch one
before l succe eded At last l caught
two specimens, which Immediately
curled themselves up and feigned death.
put one of them on the sand to see
what it would 90. At first it did not
attempt to move; but after little, by
twisting and wriggling movement, it
rapidly sunk into the sand ana disap-
peared.
The other one put into hole which
already contained a crab; but no visible
result followed. l then attempted to
dig it up again, but in vain. dug up
many holes; but though soon arrived
at the soft, wet sand underneath, never
succeeded in procuring a pill-making
crab by digging it out

emerged putting and suffering, was
that the heat had exploded the ire
crackers all at once. But when he got
the water ont of his eyes he saw that
the British had received unexpected
achievements.
King George XIL, arriving upper
ceived from the rear. had disposed of
the American commodore. and now
turned his attention to the stars and
stripes, which he iammed into the
bank with repeated blows of his woolly
head.
The patriotic blood of 'Phrastus
boiled.
'Git out of that, you old British
ram. Lee my flag alone. I'll hit You
with a rock, / will"
He dug vainly about with his fingers
in the muddy bed of the pond, but
found nothing larger than a small peb-
Bile Meantime King Georges pointed
feet were tramping his ammunition
deep into the soil. 'Phrastus lifted up
mis- voice in reproach and lamentation.
You're the meanest. meanest old

The howl drew King Georges atten-

with lowered horns, and then plunged
threateningly forward, drawing back,
