spond to a pressure of the finger on their

The heaviest are the best. Tie cock lob

higher favor, the flesh is tirmer, and its
color, when boiled, is of a deeper red

the hen. The male may be known by
his narrow, rather tapering tail. and
also from the condition of the two up

those of the hen are soft, and the tail
fan is much broader,
The heaviest crabs are the best, and
those of a medium size sweetest. If

and the body has an agreeable smell.

A naryelous Feat Of memory.

Maretus tells us that during his trav-
els over Europe he. met the marvel Of
marvels" at Padua. The marvel in
question was a young Corsican, whe
was In the city for the purpose of pur
suing his studies at the university. Ma
retus, having heard that the young man
was gifted with an extraordinary mem
DRY, desired tosput the student to the
test.
The person who had informed tho
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
~tentiveness of the young Corsican's
memory declared that he was so gifted
in that faculty hat he could repeat as
many az SO. 600 words if read over TO
him but once. Maretus and three distin-
guished Venetians agreed to test the ac-
curacy of the statement. A committee
visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing TO sub
NIT to the ordeal. Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter-
minable list of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.
The young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed. When the long string
of words had been read off, he looked
up cheerfuily and repeated the whole Of
the uninteresting catalogue of words
without a single fault. Then, TO show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained every word, he went
through the list backward. When that
task was finished, he took each alter
nate word-frst, third, fifth. etc. and
repeated them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were in
the presence of the most wonderful prod
ICY Of memory that the world had ever
produced.-St Louis Republic.
