TRUCKING A CRAB.
The Natives Of Africa n Adyar-
tneA of Him in a Heart1css Manner

In6 Nat1veH OF Africa AAt" S"F"F
tngA of Him fl a Heart1ess Manner.
In Africa there exists a certain number
of the crab genius commonly known as
the great crab tree. This peculiar she'll
fish has an offensive trick of crawling up
the cocoanut trees, biting off the cocoa.
nuts and. then creeping down again
backward.
The theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall, and the great tree carb
is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty meal.
Now, the. natives who inhabit regions in
tested by the Unconditional 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 hat he might know
when he had reached the ground, and
when, consequently, he might with safety
release his grasp on the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop his
d~epredations, which often ruin the cocoa
nut crops, is this: While the crab is en-
gagged in niping off the c%ocoanuts they
climb half way up the trees and there
drive a row of long nails right around
the. tree, allowing an inch or so of the
nails to project.
The crab has no knowledge of disaster,
nor yet of the fitness of things. AS he
descends, the sensitive part of his body
SUDDENLY touches the nails. Thinking he
has touched the ground, he naturally lets
go. Instantly he falls backwards, and
cracks his own shell on the ground

VI IAi6 tbiEts
Coroner Volk held an inquest last night
into the cause of death of Mary Czoch,
better known as Fish Mary The jury
after hearing the testimony of witnesses
found that the woman came to her death
from the effects of a pistol wound infict-
ed by John Czoch.
There was blu little in the evidence

City News" and this little was in the
line of corroboration to establish the
fact that the murder was a premeditated
one. Regarding this Gustave Williams
of No. 1T Van Wrinkle street testified
that he met 'Fish Mary on the Hack
ensack meadows abou $50 A. NJ. last
Monday. He noticed tina she walked
lame inc asked why. The woman said

"For four years I was a sufferer from
nervous debility. During that time l
took a great many remedies without get

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker OF
No. S01h Jane street, New York city.
Too many women needlessly suffer from
nervous troubles. not only in the cities
but everywhere.
Their whole world too frequently lies

nervous vitality has been slowly brought

The power of refreshing n reviving
every part of the languid body is what
makes Paine's celery compound the mar

this century. 1t is this same capacity to
recruit the worn ont nervous system

this remarkable remedy to help so many
debilitated persons and to restore them
