sayu About Them.
The job Of sorting out crabs as they
come from the fishing smaclzs at Fulton
market is ono that would have no par
ticular charms for a nervous man. The
box wriggles all over with blue and
white legs and pinchers, and, while a
hand thrust in would probably receive
no very painful injuries, still it would
bo more than most folk would be will
ing to undertake
The man who does it has q pair Of
wooden tongs, with which he picks up
each crab and looks at it before he drops
it into the sack. If the crustacean Wild
ly waves his claws. the man counts him
and passes on to another. But once in
awhile he stops as he gets a string Of
three or four holding on to each others
legs. He squeezes a body about Smid-
ships, and IL it doesn't feel just right he
disengages it aud drops it into anOther
sack
"What do you do that for?"
''Thirty-seven, thirty ty-eight-what2''
''What do you squeeze them so forf''
Tho man looks as astoniahed as II you
had asked him what ferryboAts were
useful for, and answers: ITO see IL
they're alive. Thirty-nine, forty"
''What do you do with the dead
ones7''
The man had got to the bottom Of tho
box before he took the trouble to an
swer. Then no gathered up the 90 or 80
loose claws and legs which had come
loose and dropped them into the bag.
Then he said, Garbage" shouldered

position is one of the beat and most
honorable in the gift Of the Presi-
dent, and pays $17,50o per year.
1t was expected by many OF his
friends that Hon. w. L. Wilson
would receive the appointment.
