by daybreak From this time until
sunrise the crabs are moving about
lively, and more can be gathered then
than during all the rest of the day.
The crabs are caught in scrapes, two
and three of which are dragged by each
boat, depending on the force of the
wind. The scrapes are similar to the
oyster dredge, with the difference that
the iron bar next to the bottom is with
out teeth, and the bag is all Irvine net

'shedders,' are put In shallow floats

minutes, and can be readily observed in
the shallow floats"

whom the Sarsfields have "contif apt"
The Massachusetts Sarsfields Guards
are a semi military body of Roman
Catholics who paraded with arms on
st. Patrick's day last year at Bliston
in opposition to the statute limiting the
right to carry arms to certain clssses
of men duly organized and specified.
Their case was brought before a lower
court and decided against themi and
the Supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment. The main contention oE the
guards rested on the constitutional pro-
vision that "the people have a right to
keep. and bear arms for the common
defense Judge Allen, who delivers
the opinion Of the court says on this
point: The right to keep and bear }4rms
for the common defense does not in
clude the right to associate together as
a military organization, or to drill and
parade with arms in cities an6 tt;vns
unless authorized so to do by law. This
is a matter affecting the public stcur-
ity quiet and good order, and lit Is
within the police powers of the legisla-
ture to regulate the bearing of arms SO
as to forbid such unauthorized tlrils
and parades. The protection of a. sim
liar constitutional provision has tsften
been sought by persons charged with
carrying concealed weapons, and IL, has
been almost universally held thai the
Legislature may regulate and limit the
mode of carrying arms.
1T was further contended for the
guards that the muskets they cal ,ried
had been bored out and were Ineffective
as firearms, and hence were not Gre
arms in the meaning Of the sta ute.
But the court says this makes no diff
ference. with the exception OF the
danger of being actually shot dowi, all
the evils which the statute was int md.
ed to remedy still existed in the pa ade

There has lately been some discussion
in the English papers concerning the
right of passengers to engage seats in
railroad carriages by placing luggage
upon them. Now a Glasgow man has
patented device for engaging seat.
The arrangement consists of q tin box,
from which, by dropping in a copper,
you get two tickets, one Of which with
the word Engaged" upon It Won hang
above the seat on a peg provided, and
the other you retain. The said other
ticket enables you to claim your seat
and also covers life insurance. The
invention will be on all lines at an early
date.

ton which has been asked of all the
leading actresses in Germany. The
answers are worth presenting to the
public. Marie Raisenhofer declares her
opinion thus: woman is old when she
begins to love reason and finds no love

safe side, saying: Woman is as old
as she looks" Frau Nuscha Butz is OF
the opinion that "a woman is only old
when she tries by force to become
young again" Rosa Bertens says: IA
woman is old when she begins to ask
herself, When is a woman old?'" But
