Crabs and E1ohsters.

In selecting orustaceans the inexperi- enoed housekeeper may be guided by a few easily remembered points. Lohsters that have not been long taken will re- spond to pressure of the finger on their eyes with strong motion of the claws. The heaviest are the best. The cock lob ster, though generally smaller, has the higher flavor, the flesh Is frme2, and it's color, when boiled. is of e deeper red than that of similar characteristics in the hen. The male mey be known by his narrow, rather tapering tail, and also from the condition of the two up permost fins which compose it. These in his case are hard and stiff, while those of the hen are soft, and the taIl fan Is much broader.
 The heaviest crsNs ere the best. end those of q medium size sweetest Ii light, they are watery. When in perfect condition, the joints of the legs are stiff, aud the body has an agreeable smell The eyes, too, should look bright and firmly set Whom they have dead ap- pearanee and seem loose, the crab ie stale.

KILLING WOLVES.
Some Of the Methods Used to Get Rid of
 the Pests.

Some Of the Methods Used to Get Rid of
 the Pests.
 Whole families of the animals srs sometimes asphyxiated In their dens, 4 wolf of the gray variety generally makes it's home by getting on the side of dirt gulch and burrowing straight inward until safe distance from the surface is reached. There her young arg born and raised to sturdy cub estate.
 When cowboy locates & den in which he believes the entire family tG be gathered, composite mass of cotton. saturated with damp four sulphur and other noxious smelling substances, is thrust into the den and set on fire. The mouth of the hole is then filled with clay tamped down solidly, and the im- prisoned wolves are speedily suffooated within. Tn this way from 6 to 10 and Il wolves, young and old, are wiped out at one stroke.
 Another effective method is to bore four or more holes in a fiat piece of board and plug them up with beef fat soaked in stryohnine. The odor of the tat attracts any wolves that may be in the vicinity. and they lick the fat vora- olously until the leavening of poison does it's work upon them and they drop dead. Very often as many as dozen wolves arc killed off by this process be- fore the fat ill the holes is exhausted.
 Strychnine inclosed in capsules is also used The capsule is thrust into a slit cut in chunk of beef, and the wolf, oolting the meat whole, falls an easy victim Steel traps, baited with raw 6eof, are also tried with fair success. - Denver Republican

He was 50 years of 'ao or thereabout and was quite as dap ssy ss looking as if he were 30 and still tho knight to please every fair dame mbo set her soft eyes upon him.
 The lady was young and pretty, with .oybaps shade too much display ill her makeup but still one could hardly say tbat. t for all is not gold that glitters in snoh eases-or words to that effect.
 When the man had sat down in the rLant seat and composed himself for tba tourney before him. he began to look about to familiarize himself with his environments, and In the course of his visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the voung lady He gave a slight start, as neople do when they think they see somebody they know, and looked again.
 The lady wasn't looking, of course. But she wasn't asleep.
 Not in the slightest.
 After q minute or two or three or four of hesitating investigation the trav- ding man, for it was he, arose and very politely and deferentially approached tho young lady.
 It was done as if he had been practic- ing that sort of thing ever since he had picked up the first sample case. Either that or he was to the manner born.
 T beg your pardon. he said as she turned from the window to meet him with half startled, fawnlike move .ment not altogether unusual on such occasions, aren't you Miss Morton of Philadelphia?
 She gave him glassy stare with a raw edge on it.
 "You don't look like man, '" she re. oiled with an insolent air, "who would try to work as old racket as that on me- Do look so green as that?'
 It was now his turn to gaze at her in startled wonder.
 e0h, that's all right, she laughed, moving over to make room beside her, land I'll forgive you. You know I am net M3ss A;aiaa Of Philadelphia or any where else, and so do I know it. But sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just as soon have 8 pleasant little talk with you as not. I'm to meet mamma at the ste- tion where we take dinner" 1T beg your pardon, said the travel ing man, backing away. T am sure if you are not Miss Morton have no de- sire whatever to talk with you. 7"
 Then be went back to his place, and tho flip young woman was rather in- olined to the opinion that there was at least one man on the road who could be mistaken honestly.
 All of which occurred between Wash ington and New York within the last two weeks. W Washington Star.

Reserve Buds.

Every one has noticed how, when a large branch of a tree is cut off. small branches will shoot out around the stump. These branches are from the re. serve buds, of which all trees have a great number at every portion of their surface. Under ordinary circumstances these never come to maturity, but when the tree is wounded CT cut off or loses some of its branches the reserve buds at once come into play und renew the foli- age.

Senator Chiffon Tells Why the Measure
VIII Not Pass Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Senator Chill
ton, of Texas, a member of the inter-
state commerce commission, does not
believe that any serious effort will be
made to pass what is called the anti
scalping bill this session, and he says
that it would not surprise him If the
proposition were abandoned during
the regular session next winter. or II
those favoring the measure were to
conclude that it is best to drop the
matter entirely on the theory that
they will not have votes enough to get
the bill out of the committee. Since the
last congress, Mr. Lindsay, Of Kentucky.
has changed his views. He is now
very much opposed to the bill. Mr.
Lindsay has reached the conclusion
that the matter is one that belongs en-.
tirely to the several states, and he,
with Chiffon, Chandler, Tillman and
others, hold that the national govern
ment has not the power to break up
people in business simply because COM
petitors in the same line, whether rail
roads or others, bring pressure to bear
in behalf of the proposed legislation.

OLD MEN DIED.
Two Pioneer Citizens Of jackson County,
NO., Pass Away the Same DAY.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 25.-The
Oldest two residents Of Jackson county
died yesterday. They were James
Monahan, Of Independence, who cele-
brated the Tooth anniversary Of his
birth more than three months ago,
and "Uncle Jack" Crutchfeld, of West
port, who was 90 years old last May.
1t is peculiar coincidence that the
oldest men in the county, if not in
this section of the west, should have
died on the same day and within two
hours of each other. Both Mr.. Mona
han and Mr.. Crutchfeld, in addition
to being at the time of their deaths
the Oldest men in the county, were
also two of the Oldest in point of resi-
dence, both having lived in jackson
county for nearly half century.
