FIERCE RosseR CRABS.


One OF Them Makes 10 Hoe For . lGap
Who ke~chsd Into It's Burrow.
4 man In tho Ellice group Of islands In
the south Pacific ocean found q heap Of
taased out coooanut hber and cocoanut
shells at the foot Of large pera tree He
recognized the work Of palm crab or
cocoanut eater, and looked about him for
the burrow. He found It and carefully
felt In IL to ASCERTAIN which way 1t turned.
He had his arm In to the shoulder when
something seied his wrist. He shouted
with pain and tried TO pull his hand out,
but could not.
A white man was fishing on a nearby
reef, and hearing the shouts came to the
rescue. He tore the earth and matted roots
away. and quickly saw that the owner of
the burrow, palm crab, had resented the
intrusion Of hand and had crushed the
bones with It's grip A sheath knife
plunged through the pendulous tail caused
the crab to loosen its hold. The curious
man did not recover the use Of his hand.
The palm crab, which is known as tho
robber crab also. Is one Of the most power
full of the crab family, and Is credited with
all sorts Of feats Of strength and some fcats
of agility. Its tail is short, somewhat like
a Holsters, and fat. The fat and the white
flesh of the animal render IL delicacy
highly relished by the Englishmen, Pan.
matLans, Society islanders and Tongauans.
The rcbber crabs are great fighters.
When one OF their kind enters the burrow
of another, the intrusion results in nip
and grip Contest, In which legs are crushed
and other damage done. The great
strength of the nippcrs Is due TO their CON
slant use in shearing open the coooanut
shells to get the pulp on which the crabs
feed. When q crab is confined In a tin
box, the box must be carefully examined
first and any looee edges soldered down and
holes filed up. II the crab gets a place
where 1t can use its nippers as shears and
tongs combined, the box is opened up In
short order A man living In the Tonga
group who neglected to examine a box
carefully stored a crab In 1t on the porch.
Next morning the crab and half tho house
monkey were gone. f--E.t, u fts
These crabs are very fond of turtle eggs.

was walking on an island In the Ellice
group with native companion, when the
native burst out laughing. He had seen
three of the robber crabs in one bunch
with their 80 legs SO tangled about one an
other that they could not release theil
holds on the approach Of the men. All
they could do was to roll their eyes about.
One Of the three had two Of its armOred
legs crushed by the nipper Of one Of the
others. The native took vine which grew

IT WAS NOT GOOD.


Tho Little Man Learned How Counterfeit
Money In Treated.
Behind their wire and glass cages the
bank tellers and bookkeepers were work
ing under high pressure. Long rows Of
men could be seen, the okkeepers stand
ing and bending over huge ledgers and
the tellers thumbing bills, notes and de-
posit slips. Lines of people were waiting
before many Of the windows, and TO one
side could be seen the higher officials at
their desks, most of. them busy with Gus
toners A special policeman at the door
stood guard over the throng. A+-
The crowd had momentarily deserted
the paying teller's window. A little, thin
man entered and with quick, nervous
steps made for the unoccupied spot. Anx-
iety was shown in every move as he push
ed $50 bill through the grating.
"Please tell me If that bill is good" +" he
asked.
The teller looked at II and gave sharp
glance at the tremulous little man. Then
he put the bill In an iron contrivance on
the counter and smashed his fist on a disk
of brass above it.
The little man gasped as he took the
bill and held 1t up, for, punched out, in
clean, big letters was the word counter
felt
"Sorry, sir, but the Law requires me to
do that whenever / see bogus bill, " said
the cashier. But the little man did not
hear him. The policeman ran up and car
ried limp burden to the door.-Chicago

once or twice a week and a slight
protection on the coolest nights. The
Coleus is very pretty in hanging bas-
kets but they give better results in q
three or four-inch pot.
The Coleus blossom is not very ele
CANT so DIT is best to cut them off as
they appear or else the foliage will
not be as handsome. Do not give the
pants too much liquid manure. A
small quantity every two weeks does
very we'll but a dose every now and
then has bad effect upon them.
Any variety of Coleus will probably
prove satisfactory, but there are so
many unnamed sorts that one gets
sick of them after while and a few
varieties from our catalogues will
add to our collections wonderfully,
so, in conclusion, will name four of
the best Coleus that may be relied on
for general culture.
They are: Mayfower, a sort intro
duced two or three years ago. 1t has
duh green color, notified all over
with green, black and crimson. Fire
brand, has a very dark foliage and is
splashed all over with a vivid fire
red color. Dawn, is beautiful sort
with parallel markings of scarlet,
black and green. Queen Victoria is a
good variety. lit is a dull red, Dor
dered with bright yellow The May

but deliciously perfumed. 1t is an
it takes care of itself from the mo-
ment it is planted and requires no
coddling. 1t always attracts atten-
ton and admiration, but appears to
be little known. The large bulbs are
surprisingly inexpensive, and though
quite hardy should be lifted i'm the
the winter with the Dahlias and Glad
leo.
The Dahlia, emblema;tic of unsta-
bility and pomp, is native of Mex
lea.
1t is perhaps the best known of all
the bulbous-rooted plants. 1t comes
in many shapes and cOlors. The
dwarf Pompon Dahlias are neat little
flowers, and, though stiff, are much
admired 10y Dahlia fanciers. The new
Cactus Dahlias are large but loosely
built and much less formal in con-
struction, and are perhaps preferable
on that account.
Another Mexican bulb of entirely
different character is the TuberOse.
Of these there are only four varieties
i'm cultivation. While adj are good,
that known as Excelsior Pearl is the
most popular. 1t is dwarf in habit
and produces a long spike of large
and extremely double flowers. One
variety has variegated leaves, and the
blossoms are large and sweet, but
single.

About Cannas.

Have the people who plant Cannas
in raised beds ever tried sunken
ones? This was another experiment
made this year on our grounds, and
it succeeded splendidly. The beds
were easier to water, and soaked up
every drop without its running off.
Then, too, they caught and held rain
water much better.
We chose for the bed natural de-
preston in the yard that it was de-
sirable to have leveled, staked off the
bed, leveled up all around it, filed in
about foot of rich soil, planted our
Cannas and covered them with a
mulch of rough fertilizer, leaving the
bed an inch below the surrounding
surface.
Another thing that added to the
summer-long brilliancy of our bed
was keeping the ungainly- looking
seed pods clipped off. This kept the
seeds from sapping the strength of
the plants and new shoots crowned
with bloom were continually crowd
ing up.
We noticed that some of the shoots
with the bud just started seemed 70
curl over and dry up instead of
blooming, and upon investigation
found the trouble caused by the same
ugly worm that one finds burrowing
away in the green ears of sweet corn.
He ensconces himself so closely in
only remedy for him is manipulating,
but good plan to keep him away is
to syringe the beds with tobacco-wa
ter.

AYERS PILLS cure Indigestion and headache

Gamma roots are heavy and difficult
to handle in unbroken clumps, but
that is the only way to store them for
winter keeping. We spread ours out
in the cellar just as they grew, and
cover them lightly with autumn
leaves. Drip, frost, nor excessive
moisture can harm them there, and
they keep just moist enough to start
easily when planted in spring. That
is the time to break them apart.-
