SOFT CRABS.
There Arc Conditions Which Make 1t
Dangerous to Eat Them.


There is no danger in eating soft
shelled crabs" observed an epicure to
a Washington Star man, "if they are
fresh, but they are poison if they are
not. They should be well seasoned, and
an extra lot of pepper put on them as II
precaution, especially if the weather is
very hot when they are eaten, or if they
are eaten shortly before one retires.
1t is the habit of many persons 10 eat
soft shelled crabs at night time. l do
not know but that they taste better
then. 1t is sometimes dangerous to
many to drink milk after eating crabs.
Milk seems to develop the collie that fol-
lows eating soft-shelled crabs with
some persons.
Another thing should be re-
membered, and that is a sharp thun-
derstorm will kill soft-shelled crabs,
and even the hard-shelled crabs at
times Unless the soft-shelled crab has
been cooked before the thunderstorm,
I think the safer plan would be to de-
cline to eat it. Under all other condi-
tions there is no danger of partalling Of
them, for l do not think anyone would
be criminal enough to cook n dead
crab, hard or soft shell. The proper
way to Kill a crab is to throw him into
o kettle of boiling water. l know that
some people think this is cruel, but 1t
is no more cruel than to stab them with
a needle or kill them with chloroform,
as ! have known some extra sensitive
PERSONS TO do"

THE YARD MEASURE.
Standards Have Varied in the Different
Ages Of the World.

The yard is the British and Ameri'
can standard of length. Down to 1871
the original standard of Britain (and
from WHICH ours was copiedD was h
rod, which had been deposited in the
court of exchequer, London, in the time
Of Queen Elizabeth. In those days, says
the st. Louis Republic, all measures
intended for general use were taken to
the court of eHchequer to be exapined
by the proper officer. That official took
the proposed measure and PLACED it
parallel with the standard, and If found
correct placed certain marks Of identi-
fication upon it. BY an act OF pariia-
ment in 1924 the old EliZabethan stand
nrd was superseded by another, which
had been constructed under the direc-
tions of the Royal society Ga years
previous. This act provided that THE
straight line or distance between the
centers of two points in the gold studs
in the brass rod now in the custody
of the clerk of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
yard measure in Great Britain The
ect further provided that the measure
ments of the rod must be made when
the temperature of the brass rod was
ct 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
That standard was destroyed by fire
in 1884 and the commission appointed to
replace it made the yard measure now
In use The new standard was de-
posted in the house of parliament in
1858 and authenticated copies of 1t are
In the possession Of our government
officials at Washington.

COOKERY HERBS.
Every Housewife Should Understand and
Cultivate Their Use.

Herbs used in cookery, while they
may be purchased in the markets of the
larger cities of the United States, are
rarely procurable in those of smaller
towns. To the average ruralist they are
unknown, or, if known, their use is noc
understood. In first rate cookery,
which is one of delicate combinations
and favors, they are absolutely indis-
pensable, and their absence therefrom
is quickly detected by cultivated pal
ates. Chives, tarragon, chevril, savory,
sorrel. etc, may be grown with little
trouble either out of doors or in
boxes in the house. Pulverized dried
herbs that are sold in bottles or lin are
of little value. For flavoring purposes
they are hardly more effective than SO
much dried dust. Sorrel soup, on ac-
count of its pleasantly acid flavor, is
much in vogue in Europe. Here it is al
most entirely unknown, and is rarely
or ever served except in families of for
eign origin or at restaurants that en-
courage a special clientele. OF all the
herbs only sage end mint are il uni
versal use with US. For this boon we
are indebted to the favor accorded
sausages, and the popularity OF the
"mint julep.'

AVOID COSMETICS.

Ladies', shnn cosmetics. Most Of
the common preparations contain
poisonous chemicals which exert Il
deleterious action on the skin: and at
the best no pant, powder or wash can
supply the natural beauty Of a fine
complexion. They are palpable and
"a palpable fraud is an abomination.
Pure rain water and good health are
essentials to a healthful skin. The
former is plentiful: the latter can be
regained and kept by using DIR.

Large Cities.
1t would not be surprising, SAYS Har-
per's Round Table, TO find Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, en-
warded in as many hours as il now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will be seriously affected by th@ new
system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in o leather tube or
carrier which fits snugly into the pneu-
matte tube. Then blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction of air from the
front, or a combination of the two
methods, forces the carrier and its con-
tents forward. AS the friction soor
wears out the leather carriers, Alne"-
lean genius will be called upon TO in
vent a metal carrier OH bail bearings" a"
With leather tubes about 80 per e. ut. Of
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent.
of the total force applied being used TO
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters in Paris was Is cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
small part of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nine
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected. Probably many OF the
readers have one or more of them. They
bear map of the city on the face of the
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs on

A COMMON MIsQUOTATioN.
Our Orators Should Read the Declaration
Of Independence Again.

Probably three out of four Fourth of
July orators III their speeches this year
quoted the Declaration of Independence
as claiming that: "All men are created
free and equal" The mistake has been
common in the past and it is as preva-
lent now as ever. Presidents of the
United States, members of congress,
governors and q host of lesser lights
have made the blunder, and to their
number can be added editors and dis
tinguished orators like the late Henry
Ward Beecher. Nevertheless, the Dec
laration does not say that "all men are
created free and equal" and it would
not be true if it did. No person is
created free. He or she is subject for
years to the control of parents or guard
ians, and natural laws recognize this
subsection as right. What the Declara-
ton does say is that: "Al men are
created equal" There may be some dis
sent from that doctrine, as there is an
evident difference among men in mental
and physical endowment at birth. But
while the Declaration of Independence
is quoted as saying they are, it had bet
ter be quoted correctly.

a gull-life picture for her dining-room.
She selected a canvas on which were
painted q bunch of flowers, pie cut
in two and half-penry roll, and was
paying 500 francs for it when the maid
approached to whisper in her ear.

"And wus itas good as this?"
Eyes, madame, it was better; there
