Crabs and Ylobsters.

In selecting erustaceans the inexperi. enoed housekeeper may be guided by a few easily remembered points. Lobsters that have not been long taken will re. spond to q pressure of the finger on their eyes with a strong motion of the claws The heaviest are the best The cock lob ster, though generally smaller. has the higher flavor. the fiesh fs hrmer, and it's color, wben boiled.

THe made mag be known by his narrow, rather sspering tail and also from the condition of the two up- pesmost fins which compose ift These in his case are hard and stiff, while those of the hen are soft. and the tail fan is much broader.
 The heaviest crsos are the best, and those of medium size sweetest. If light. they are watery. When in perfect condition, the joints of the legs are stiff, and the body has an agreeable smell. The eyes. too, should look bright and firmly set. When they have dead ap- pearance and seem loose. the crab is stale New York Post.

 gation Purposes.
 Ex- Senator Eugene s. Ives of New York, who is we'll and fayorably known in Washington, is now resident of Arizona and is in Washington with MT. James A. Fleming. prominent citizen of that territory, in connection with a big irrigation enterprise.
 MT. Ives said: I've propose to cut a canal 55 miles in length, beginning at q point 85 miles above Yuma and fol- lowing the course of the Colorado river, which will afford sufficient water to ir- rieate 100, 000 acres. The soil is natu- rally of great fertility and only need4 water to make it as producti'e e= shy on earth. We can raise lemots, cranges. olives, apricots, figs and il fact all the fruits that tGys he .!la much to Gall fornia's ve..:t. ,,..sl can get them to markct several weeks in advance of the produe s of that state.
 '.Ehe great advantage we have over California is in our superior water sup ply. the Colorado furnishing an mex haustible quantity at all seasons of the year. The region tributary to Yuma IS destined to become America's winter hothouse. The summer climate. which has been so often the themo of jest and story, is really nothing like as bad IS the romancers make it out. for the ar is so pure and dry that one doesn't mind the heat when the thermometer snows 100 as much as the people of Washing ton and New York do when the figures arc far below that mark.

 A further search revealed four other huts and around them were found many arpowheads. darts, tomahawks and quantity of flint. One of the tom ahawks had a covering of some animal skin and sharp. arrowhead fastened to an end This spot covered but an area of about 200 feet and is so thickly surrounded by brush that it is safe to say it was not trod upon for nearly q century, although it is only 200 yards from a well travelled road

Goldsmith, Who Was Burned With His Wife. Was Insured For Her Benefit.

Goldsmith, Who Was Burned With His
 Wife, Was Insured For Her Benefit.
 There is going to be an interesting litigation in New York city oyer $20,- GOO of insurance on the hfe of Aaron Goldsmith taken Out in favor of his wife. He, his wife and their three ohil- dren were burned to death. His brother, Louis Goldsmith of Ghateaugay. N. Y. was appointed administrator of his es. tato by Surrogate Arnold on Monday Goldsmith left two other brothers ard niece.
 The question is whether Goldsmith Or his wife died first. Relatives of his wife contend that the money comes ta them and that the administrator of her husband will have nothing to admins. ter upon, and they say they will have an administrator of her estate appointed shortly to take charge of the insurance money.
 Counsel who have been consulted about the case say that under common law decisions the law would presume that tho husband, being probably stron- ger than woman, would survive the wife. Decisions which are pointed out in support of this view were cases where a man and woman had gone down with a vessel. It was said that there is no such oase on record with regard to fire and that the reasoning applicable to drowning would not pertain to fire. The proximity of each of the persons to the advance of the flames, the character of the clothing they wore and their physical characteristics, it was said, would also play their parts. Moreover, there may be evidence given to show that the woman did, in fact, survive her husband. Relatives of the woman say they believe they can prove that the woman was heard to scream after the husband had been apparently overcome by the flames. New York Sun.

Some hint as to how ex-Uhief Byrnes of New York was successful as thief taker comes out in the claim of an ex- detective, Tom Adams. who asks Slo, : 900 for the press clippings he had fur nished Byrnes.

prior to the date of the explosion, main
tanned a line of gas pipe through the alley
midway between Broadway and College
avenue and intersecting Fifteenth street
1t also had an intersecting service pipe run

The company, it is charged, maintained
these lines without having first subjected
them to a trial pressure of 400 pounds to
the square inch, and carelessly maintained
the same as high pressure lines without
having tested the mains, according to law.
1t is averred that these mains leaked large
quantities of gas for several weeks prior to
May 49, and that the gas percolated ana

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable success of a New rile


People who have suffered for years or
months from the pain and inconvenience Of
that common disorder piles, will look with
skepticism upon tho claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure of all forms
of piles, known under the name of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure; nevertheless, the extraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy are
such as to warrant the investigation of any
sufferer. As case in point the following
letter speaks for itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 8,
Hosack avenue, Columbus, o., writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen-I want you to use my name IL
if will be of any use to YOU l was so
bad with the piles that lost work on that
account. Nothing did me any good. read
in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles
by the Pyramid Pile Cure, and l went to a
drug store and asked for it. The drug
clerk told me he had something else that
he thought was better. but l told him 1
wanted TO try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that 1
tried another, and then, to complete the
cure, used two more boxes, making four in
all. am now completely cured. Have not
trace of piles. and l had suffered for
four years with the worst form of protrud-
ing piles.
! suffered death from piles. but l have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. have recommended 1t to
several of my friends, and am thankful to
be able 10 write you what good ne rem
edy has done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because il contains no opium, cocaine
or mineral poison of any kind and because
It is so safe and pleasant to use, being pain
less and applied at night. The patient is
cured In surprisingly short time, with no
inconvenience, whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at 80 cents per package, and if there
is any constipation it is well to use PYra-
mid Pills at the same time with the Pile
cure. constipation is very often the cause
of piles, and the pills effectually remove
the costive condition Price of pills is 25
cents per package
