A PlLL.MAklNo CRAB.
khs Queer Habits Of an Interesting Little
Creature.

Creature.
Mr.. Collingwood, in his FAMILIES OF
Naturalist, gives an entertaining ac-
count Of these tiny creatures, which
are mostly ~ about the size Of pea,
though a few are as large as filberts.
BE found them abundant on the shores
pt the Malay peninsula, his attention
being first called to them by seeing the
beach, after the going down Of the tide,
coyered with loose powdery sand and
holes Of various sizes. Looking more
closely, he discovered that little radi-
sting 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 q multitude Of tiny crabs into
their holes, not single one remaining
visible.
. Kneelinr down and remaining mo-
tionless for few minutes, noticed .
elight evanescent appearance, like q
dash or bursting bubble, which the
aye could scarcely follow. This was
produced by one or more Of the crabs
1oming to the surface and instantly
darting down again, alarmed by my
proximity. 1t was only by waiting like
B statue that I could induce them to
come out and set TO work.
Coming cautiously TO the mouth Of
the hole, the crab waited TO recon-
potter, and II satisfied that no enemy
was near, II would venture about Its
own length from Its lurking place; then
rapidly taking up PARTICLES Of sand in
its claws, II deposited them In q groove
beneath the thorax.
As It did 50 q little ball Of sand was
rapidly projected as through It's mouth.
This Il 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 70 its own dimen-
sions. II was evidently It's method Of
extracting particles Of food from the
sand
Imade many attempts TO catch one
before succt eded. At last ! caught
two specimens, which Immediately
curled themselves up and feigned death.
Iput one Of them on the sand TO see
what II would DO. At first II did not
attempt to move; but after little. by
twisting and wriggling movement, II
rapidly sunk into the sand and disap-
peared.
Tho other one put into hole which
slready contained crab; but noyisible
result followed. then attempted 70
dig It up again, but in vain. Idug up
many holes; but though soon arrived
al the soft, wet sand underneath, never
succeeded In procuring O pill-making
crab by digging II out

fhs mistake That the IntsnssiyrBusy
Americas An Too Often Msksa
There are no buster people In the
world than Americans. The rush and
Intensity Of our business life excites
The constant wonder Of foreigners &c
eustomed 70 more leisurely methods,
says the New York Press. IL q ques-
ton IL 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
70 win material benefits for their wives
and children they frequently toll with
such unwearying industry that eating
and sleeping come 20 seem 70 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
nifcance underlies this ancient concep-
tion. II Is but an embodiment Of the
eternal truth that the highest moral
responsibilities deyolve upon man In
his character Of husband and father.
That the married man Of to-day often
ends himself unable 70 spend any con-
siderable portion Of his waking hours
with his own family Is ewing largely
20 the stress Of business life and 20 the
ambitions fostered In o country whose
citizens are welcome 70 the highest po-
stions In the land n they can win
them. But this constant struggle for
material welfare should not be permit
ted 70 increase 80 far that the "things
that are more excellent. are forgotten
or ignored.
Sometimes child dies, and then the
busy father may realize thas II was In
deed . little stranger who came 70 him
and went away again. He had watched
the growth Of his business with intense
interest and he knew every aspect Of
Il; but he had not had time 10 watch
the growth Of o child's mind and char
acter. The American wife and mother
can change In a great measure this or
der Of things by holding up true Ideals
OF what constitutes success In life and
Of what makes Q homo worthy Of
the name; for the husband in q great
majority Of cases Is guided By the wife,
and will bring back 70 her what she
gives 70 him n life 20 her meansnoth-
Ing but money and social success she
binds her husband 70 wheel that will
gradually crush the best that isIn him.
But II Il means moral development
whose source Of power Is sympathetic
and ennobling home life she will take
care that her husband has time 20 live.

THE Riaur SORT OF rLuoK.

Thirty years ago two Irish immigrants,
employed as porters in New York warehouses,
undertook to study law. After working from
morning until night packing goods, loading
drays and making deliveries, they sat up un-
I'll ~ o'clock in their rooms In boarding.
house reading law books and discussing
principles and cases.
The ambitious young men were 80 deeply
Interested In their night work that they fire.
quently argued points OF law during leisure
moments Mt the store, and naturally exposed
themselves to chafllng and ridiculc. With
Irish wit they pared every thrust and never
lost their tcmpcrs.
Their companions nicknamed them the
Judge and Lawyer John" and asked
them mockinglv whether they thought that
merchants would consult them rs lawyers
after employing them as porters.
"Thcy may do It, answered the Judge"
"aitcr We have worked up n fine criminal

by keeping out OF the saloons. II costs Us

So the laugh in the end turned against the

Work Their Way.

Some of the forty or fifty State agri-
cultural colleges make special provis-
ion for students wishing TO work their
way through college. Such students
work daily Oh the experimental col
lege farm and receive current wages.
There are many free scholarships In
these colleges, and board and lodging
are cheap, so that working student
finds that his labor goes far toward
paying his way. Tutoring pays better.
however, and very clever men somc'
times earn from $1,000 10 $500 per
year in helping through their duller
fellows. Such opportunities, however,
are found only in the great colleges,
and are few. At one of these insttu-
tions one successful young lawyer, Of
New York City, Is said to have earned
$4,000 In a single year tutoring while
yet an undergraduate.

Forward Movement Of this society wa.
initiated four years ago for the purpose Of
sending not less than "A hundred additional
missionaries into the field 10y the time OF the
,ocicty's centenary In 1926, and that at that
time there was n debt " several thousands OF
pounds. Yet God so honorrd the faith

some one say, "God does not withhold th,
money, but men do" II seems to need more
divine power, to lead men to give then
money, than TO lead others 10 glvc them
selves.
We hear Of proposal 10 induce men OF
sufficient means to become responsible foi
the support OF "a missionary. There are hun.
dreds OF men and women protesting godli'
ness who could do this with the greatest ease,
and II would be 10 them an unspeakabls

proportion Of their income by becoming
Christians. Expensive amusements and

In the gifts Of rich men. though those exceed
In quantity. We believe 1t would be easier,
because more in accordance with the mind Of
God, to secure the support Of missionaries by
churches than by individuals, though the
support OF n missionary Is the least conribu-

that nine out OF every thousand children

DRY PICKING Fowls.

When the dressing place is selected,
drive two spikes about foot apart in
\ beam overhead. Make two loops of
strong string, each long enough to
hold one leg of the fowl, and when
hung from the nails above let the bird
hang low enough 20 make picking
handy. Have weight of two or
three pounds with hook attached
When TIE bird is killed fasten tho
hook into the lower jaw TO hold tho
Sird steady while picking.
When you are ready to- kill your
fowl, catch il, and IL its feet nre soilcd
wash them, then suspend IT 10y tho
two legs from the nooscs. Take hold
of its head, and with sharp knife cut
the vein Mt back of thront, through
the mouth. Never do this from tho
outside. As soon rs you cut the vein,
run point Of knife through roof of
mouth into the brain. As soon as the
knife enters the brain, the bird loses
al sense of feeling. Begin plucking
at once.
TO dry pick fowlspropcrly the work
must bo done while they are bleeding.
The picking can also bc much more
easily done while the bodies are warm.
Use care that the skin be not torn or
broken. Farm, Field and Firesidc.
