TRICKING A CRAB.

African Natives Take Advantage OF His
Industry In n IicartIess Manner.
In Africa there exists certain mem
Der of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
shellf>h has an offensive trick Of
crawling up tie cocoanuJ trees, biting
off the cocoanuts and then creeping
down again backward.
The theory is that the nuts arc shat
tered by the fan, and the great tree crab
is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty nie..L
Now, the natives who inhabit regions
infested by this i'll conditioned crab are
well aware that the lower portion Of the
crabs anatomy IS soft and sensitive, and
they believe that the "bivalve" was
thus constructed in order that he might
know when he had reached the ground,
and when. consequently, he might with
safety release his grasp Of the trunk.
So what they do i'll order TO stop his
depredations, which often ruin the CO.
coanut crops, is this: While the crab Is
engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive row of long nails right
around the tree, allowing an inch or 50
of the nails to project.
The crab has no knowledge Of disas-
ter, nor yet the fitness Of things. A. he
desceuds the sensitive part Of his body
suddenly touches the nails. Thinking he
has reached the ground, he naturally
lets go Instantly he falls backward and
cracks his own she'll on the ground -

worthy townsman of ours, J. Fairfield
Tuttle, who had a small patch of straw
berries SO situated that only fence,
and poor one at that, divided them
from a neighbor's S henyard, and these
same hens bothered our friend very
much by getting through the fence and
scratching up the strawberry plants.
Our friend tried many ways to rid
himself of them, but failed until one
day he saw his neighbor in the act Of
setting another hen.
Now, it necessary for you to know
that the hens above mentioned We're If
what is known as the Shanghai breed
and had very long legs. 1t occurred to
our friend Tuttle that he saw a way out
of the difficulty SO procuring half a
dozen bantam (short legs eggs he stole
over during the night, took out six of
the eggs that were under the hen and
replaced them with the six bantam.
What was the result? When the chicks
were Matched, each one had one short
and one long leg, and when they would
stand on the short leg and try to scratch
with the long one they would only sue

When they would stand ON the long leg.
the short one would not reach the
ground by several inches, and so III the

A THEOLOGICAL WONDER.

vented by Russian Pole.
The prize wonder in the shape of a
clock is the invention of a Russian Pole
named Goldfadon. The inventor is a
clock1naker of Warsaw and boasts that
he worked over 1000 days ON this time
keeping oddity. The clock represents u
railway station, with waiting ICONS for
travellers, telegraph and ticket offices
and very pretty and natural platform
well lighted and having in its center a
flower garden and a spouting fountain.
There are also signal boxes, lights,
switches, water tanks-in fact, every
thing used in conjunction with i well
regulated railway station. There is a
dial in the center tower, which shows
time at New York, Peking, Warsaw and
London. Every quarter of an hour the
station begins to show signs of life.
First all of the little figures of telegraph
operators begin to work their machines,
the head automaton going through the
form of sending a dispatch TO the effect
that 1.-THE line is clear. " Then the door
opens, and upon the platform appear
the station master and his assistants.
Next long line of little figures file up
to the miniature ticket office
After this the pOrters appear, carrying
luggage, the bell rings, and instantly a
miniature train dashcs out Of a tunnel
and halts before the platform of the sta
tion house. While the train is waiting a
miniature figure tests the wheels and
Axles with a tiny hammer, another
pumps water into the tank of the en-
gine, while third busies himself stow
ing away small Jumps Of coal i'll the sill
yer plated tender. There is one signal
of the bell, whereupon the door of the
single coach opens, and the little figures
slide in on an almost invisible wire,
the opening closing after them. A sec
ond tap of the bell is the signal for the
wheel tester, waterman and fuel carrier
to retire into the station house.
After the third signal the whistle
gives two toots, and the train quickly
disappears in a tunnel opposite to the
one from which it emerged five minutes
before. When the train is out of sight,
the station master and. his assistants
leave the platform, the doors close be-
hind them, and they all retire to the
other side of the station house, where,
at the expiration of l ) minutes, the
train again appears, and the passengers
file out and seat themselves in the build
ing preparatory to taking another trip

a Man So Manages Three wives That All

DANvuLE. Ky, Jan. William Cox,

wives. and he is only 80 years OF age.
His first wife was Miss Minerva smith,
who bore him nine children, and was
aftcrward divorced. Mr.. Cox then mar

soon divorced from her. No children
resulted from that union. lie then

birch, the magnolias and the tulip
tree, three species OF catalpa. several
kinds of ash. the different elms, the
poplars and the willows. Intelligent-
ly grouped together on the grounds,
no observing person could fail, after
time, To know more OF all these diff
fercnt trees than many others do in a
whole life time.
The same mode OF planting might
with great propriety be adopted for
the larger and medium-sized hardy
shrubs Each of the following en-
braces many species and varieties:
Cydonia, Spirma, Syringa, Diervilla,
Cornus, Deutzia, Philadclphus and
others. These are commonly planted
irregularly and In II promiscuous man
ncr, but IN groups composed Of the
Severdl allied species they would pos
soss great additional interest as well
as instructive value.
By way of illustration we give n
simple plan OF grounds laid out and
planted in the manner proposed The
taller trees are OF course planted In
the rear or more remote portions of
the larger grounds; and for small
places shrubs only would be used, as
occupying less room, admitting nearer
planting and as not growing beyond
reach. Such climbing shrubs as the
several species OF Ampelopsis, Akebia,
Lonicera. Mcnispcrmum and Bignonia
might we'll occupy the more remote
aud secluded portions Of the grounds.
In this plan, when there is enough
open lawn TO render visible 10 the
view mt one or more different points
the different paintings, the medium
aud larger groups OF shrubs are placed
towards the front of the dwelling on
the nearer sides and the trees in the
more remote portions The position
OF the evergrcens. shown by the darker
shades, may be governed by circum-
stances. and In some cases they will
be- found of value as partial screens
from prevailing winter winds-Coun-

An old horseman says in the Scien-
tific American; II you want To buy n
horse. don't believe your own brother.
Take no mans word for IT, Your eye
is your Market. Don't buy horse in
harness. Unhitch him and take every
thing of but his halter, and lead him
around. 1.-The has corn or Is stiff. or
has any failing, you can see IT, Let
him go himself way, and IL he walks
right into anything, you know that he
Is blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than bat. Back him. too. Some
horses show their weaknesses or tricks
In that way when they don't in any
other. But, be as smart as you can,
you'll get caught sometimes. Even
the expert gets stuck. A horse may
look ever SO nice and go great pace,
and yet have fits. There isn't a man
who could tell IL until something hap
pens. Or he may have n weak back
Give him the whip and off he goes fo>
mile two, then all OF IA sudden he
stops on the road. After a rest he starts
again, but he soon stops for good,
and nothing but n derrick can
start him. The weak points about a
horse can better be discovered while
standing than while moving. II he is
sound, he will stand firmly and square
~ on his limbs without moving them.
with legs plumb and naturally poised;
or II the foot is taken from the ground,
and the weight taken from it. disease
may be suspected, or, at least, tender
ness, which is the precursor Of disease.
If horse stands with his feet spread
apart or straddles with his hind legs,
there Is a weakness In his loins and
the kidneys are disordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush.
milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon
blindness or something else. A bad
tempered one keeps his ears thrown
back; stumbling horse has blcmished
knees When the skin is rough and
harsh ard does not move easily TO the
touch, the horse is n heavy eater and
digestion bad. Never buy horse
whose breathing organs are at all
impaired. Place your ear at the heart.
and II a Wheeling sound is heard, il is
an indication OF trouble.
