Is a crab an animal? The case is
being argued before the Calcutta High
Court, where q native woman is
charged with cruelty to animals by
breaking the crabs legs and backs to
show purchasers the quality of the
meat within the shell. The defense
is that the crab does not come under
the act which forbids the torture Of an
animal or domesticated bird"

While out in the yard ut p.
HI. Nelson's Friday afternoon,
Floy, the 9-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Gol-
ledge, happened to an accident
that came near costing her her
life.
Some loose cotton in the
yard had been burning, but the
child thought the fire had been
eXtinguished, and picked up
some of it and put in her pock-
ct, saying she intended using it
in making a doll pillow. Tn
fortunately, the lint was still on
fire, and while the little one
was still engaged in play, the
flame gained headway, and she
soon found her clothing ablaze.
Her screams attracted the no.
tice of Mrs. Nelson, who
promptly secured a blanket and
wrapped it about the child,
smothering the flames. In this
heroic work Mrs. Nelson was
ably assisted by Mrs. Jordan.
When the child had been car
ried to the house and a surgeon
called it was discovered that
her lower limbs and back were
badly burned, the hands, face
! and breast escaping injury.
Notwithstanding the tender
age of the little sufferer. size is
bearing the intense pain with
remarkable calmness, and
there seems to be no immedi.
ate danger of serious results,
save the sears.
In her efforts to smother the
flames Mrs. Jordan suffered q
severe burn on one hand. Tc
these ladies and Prof. \. l..
Day Mr.. and Mrs. Golledge are
deeply grateful for their clever
work IL reScuing their child, fol
to them alone Is due the credit
for saving her life.
Mrs. Golledge was shopping
i'll the city and Floy was visit,

cident occurred.
