EELs AND HORSESHOE CRABS.

Harvest for Fisherman Provided by
Eesire to Eat Without Labor.
Horseshoe crabs come up on sandy
beaches at half tide, and bury or par
tally bury themselves in the sand, max
ing holes or nests in which. they de-
post their eggs. Usually the crab goes
out with the same tides, and mingles
with the eggs in the nest and the tide
washes it smooth across the top. In
beach half mile long and Is or 20 feet
wide there might be thousands of nests
of horseshoe crab eggs, no more visible
to the eye, however, than if they were
not there at all. If they are not dis
turbed the eggs hatch out and later the
water along the edge swarms with tiny
horseshoe crabs.
Eels are very fond of the eggs of
horseshoe crabs, and they appear to
know when and where the crabs deposit
them. In the spawning season cells
come in upon the beaches in great num-
hers with the tides, and when the water
is deep enough to support them they
stand on their heads and bore down into
the sand in quest of the horseshoe crab
eggs. Though there are many nests,
nest covering space, perhaps, as big
as the crown of cap, the eel may not
strike one the first time Then it bores
again. Finding nest, it gets mouth
full of eggs and backs out of the hole
and eats them. Then it puts its head
down through the hole it has bored into
the nest for another mouthful.
While the eel is thus seen to be IA
miliar with the habits of the horseshoe
crab, the fisherman is equally familiar
with the habits of the eel. When the
cells congregate to feed on horseshoe
crab eggs, the fisherman fishes among
them with bob from above, and many
foolish eel has thought to provide it
self with food without the trouble of
working for it by biting at the tempting
bob. Sometimes fisherman catches
washtub full of cells at single tide.-N.

Teeth That MAY Take Roo,

A Russian dentist has at length solved
the problem of supplying us with false
teeth which will grow into the gums
as firmly as natural ones. The teeth
are made of gutta percha, porcelain or
metal, as the case may be. At the root
of the tooth holes are made, and also in
the jaw. The tooth is then placed in the
cavity, and in a short time soft gran
ulated growth findsits way from the jaw
into the holes of the tooth This
growth gradually hardens, and holds
the tooth in position. 1t does not mat
ter in the least, according to this enter
prising Russian dentist, whether the
cavity in which the tooth is placed is
one from which natural tooth las
recently been drawn, or whether it has
been healed for months or even years.

THE TCHUKTCHlS.
A People Who Value n Wife NJ a
Handful of Tobacco.

The English explorer, Harry de
Windt, recently returned to London
from the Siberian sho14s of Behring
strait. In a short time he will leave
England for a lecturing tour in the
United States. He was brutality treat
ed by the Tchuktchis at Oumwaidjik
In consequence of this the United
States will, it is said, send vessel to
Oumwaidjik to punish the chief. The
Tchuktchis are nominally Russian sub
jects; but the only vessels ever in the
neighborhood are American whalers
and the United States revenue cutter
Mr.. De Windt had an enforced sojourn
of two months among the natives.
He says they are physically far
finer race than the Alaskan Eskimo
races, and their women are better look
ing. but the Tchuktchis are wholly de-
void of morality. and will barter wife
for handful of tobacco. Inidelity is no
crime among them. They number alto
gether about 5000, and along Behring
strait are seven settlements of perhaps
800 each. The others are scattered along
stretching away to the settlement of
Mini Koiymsk.
The most weird Tchuktch1 ceremony
is the "Kamitsk." This is simply the
putting to death, with their free con-
sent, of aged or useless members Of
the community. When Tchuktchi's
powers have decreased to an apprecia-
BILE extent, family council is held and
a day fixed for the victims departure
for another world. Perhaps the most
curious feature is the Indifference
shown by the doomed man, who takes
lively interest in the proceedings, and
often assists in the preparations for
his own death. The execution is pre-
coded by feast, where seal and wall
rus meat are greedily devoured and viii
famous whisky is consumed.-N. Y.

Barton Potts Here the warm, soft.
salty breezes seemed to bring new lease
of life to the beloved invalid, though
it was plain to one and all she could
never be herself again. Scroggs, her
kinsman son-in-law, was rapidly mend
ing and eagerly casting about for en-
ployment. Floyd, restored to duty with
out trial, was serving patiently and
faithfully with his regiment in Texas,
bent evidently on making good his
words. The two events which seemed
TO bring general cheer and rejoicing
to the household were those which three
months before Would have been prompt
ly derided as absurd and impossible:
one was the weekly letter from a troop
er In the union blue, the other a much
rarer visit from Yankee subaltern.
whose profession was not to be disguised
because he was in ''cits'." On the oc-
caslon of his first appearance in that
garb Miss Walton did him the honor to
say: "Ah never did like you, but All
do think those clothes wuhse than the
Others" This was rather hard, be-
cause, as the spring came on, Lambert's
lot at the barracks was not as pleasant
as it might have been, and his COM
fort consisted in running over to see
how Madam Walton was doing.
Cram and his battery, with Waring,
Pierce, and all, had been ordered away,
and then for the first time Lambert
realized, what his regimental comrades
had marked for months, that he pre-
ferred the companionship of the bat
terry men to that of the men who wore
the bugle, the badge of the infantry in
those benighted days. Old Brax con-
cluded he had had enough of garrison
life, and sought long leave. Maj.
Minor took command of the regiment
and post, and the adjutant and quarter
master took command of Maj. Minor
1t had neither been forgiven nor forgot
ten by these staff officials that Lam
bert had been equally outspoken in de-
Tense Of Close and denunciation of his
accusers, and the further fact that he
preferred to spend his leisure hours
with his fellow-graduate of the artil-
lery rather than his uncongenial breth-
rem of the -teenth gave the offended
ones abundant material to work on.
Minor was weakling-a bureau officer
during the war days, a man who could
muster and disburse without a flaw,
but never set squadron in the field
without ''fuke." Lambert was a cap
ital drill-master and tactician, and ''G''
company, under his instruction, was
rapidly overhauling every other in the
regiment, even those OF Kinsey and
Lively, the two real soldiers among the
captains. Minor hated the sight of a
page of tactics, and never even held
dress parade. Lambert had clear,
ringing voice, and Minor couldn't make
himself heard. One morning the o.
derly came to Lambert at company drill
with 'the majors compliments, and
please to take company 'G' outside the
garrison, or make less noise" 1t was
the adjutant's doing, as things turned
~out afterwards, but it angered Lambert
against the commander.

The honorable acquittal of Capt
Close proved, as was to be expected, q
thorn in the flesh of certain of his ac-
cusers, and stirred up trouble in the

Close didn't much mind. He was grant

a perfect mastery of photography is
not essential to goodness of heart or
strength of intellect, but it is eminently
desirable, nevertheless, and all young
people should be taught so to regard it.
And yet, if man is one of the unfortu-

it may not be wrong for him TO console
himself with the knowledge that he is

Editors, of all men, know that weak

much learning and an excellent Eng

tributors school-teachers, professors
and even college presidents given

thoughts in equally original orthog-
raphy. In part this may be due TO
hasty writing, but when the same word
is misspelled in the same ingenious
way throughout an entire manuscript
some less charitable explanation is
forced upon the reader.
In old times, as is well known, the
most scholarly men spelled very much
as they pleased. DIR. Samuel Johnson
was perhaps the first---esctdinly he was
among the first-to ''sctorthography on
a sure footing" and it is the more sur
prising, therefore, TO find him one of
the worst offenders.

Insects Drowned in a PIanr. Leaves


THERE'S quaint plant, and very
pretty one, quite common in the north
ern states, that grows in peat boys. It
has large flowers with an odd, umbrella
like shield in the center. The shape OF
this has given it the name of side saddle
flower, but it does not look very much
like side saddle. The most familiar
name for the plant is pitcher plant,
and it is sometimes called huntsman's
cup, or purple trumpet leaf.
This pitcher plant has leaves shaped
like open cups, that stand up from the
ground in a cluster. They are general
ly about half full of rain water, in which
many insects are drowned. 1t is prob
able that these serve as food for the
plant. The pitchers are gayly colored
green, with dark red or purple vein
ing, and sometimes purple all over

Attacked by Hungry Eagles.
From the Omaha Bee.


The Northern Pacific Railway COM
panys Office in Helena. Mont, win soon
be ornamented with two of as fine speci-
mems Of the American eagle family as are
in existence. The birds are the property
of E. 7. Barnett, Northern Pacific mineral
land examiner. who obtained them some
time ago while in Flathead county.
Mr.. Barnett tells an interesting story of
how he came by the big birds. He was on
the upper Kootenai river, in the north
western part Of the state, having charge
of party examining large tract of land
on the river The country there Is almost
primitive in It's condition, there being lit
tie evidence of civiiza ton about 1t Is
a wilderness of forest and mountains ana
is favorite hunting place for rowing
bands of Indians.
Near where Mr.. Barnett and party were
at work were a camp of Indians The
lodges were scattered about promiscuous-
ly in Indian fashion near the rivers edge.
There was little activity about the camp.
The bucks We're for the most part out
hunting and the women kept inside the
lodges, 1t being particularly warm day.
At the edge of the camp was group OF
dirty, naked little Indian children, romp-
ing on the grass together.
All of q sudden the quiet OF the camp
was broken by the sudden introduction OF
two great eagles, which swooped down
upon the group of children. Apparently
not frightened In the least by their cries,
one of the eagles fastened its talons into
the back of the smallest child and then,
after mighty sweeping of wings, lifted
1t into the air, The frightened little pa
poose yelled with all his might, but the
eagle dragged 1t up the bluff forty or tif-
~ feet and then dropped IT, apparently
becoming exhausted Then the other eagle
grabbed the boy and started with him up
the bank which at that place arose al
most perpendicular 400 or 500 feet.
All that happened in a moment! The
camp which had been so quiet before,
was Immediately turned into a place of
confusion. The squaws, hearing the cries
of the children, came running out of the
lodges. When they saw what was the
matter they rushed up the bluff as hard
as they could go. But even then the
eagles did not want to give up tlier prey
They were not frightened by the noise and
kept dragging the poor little Indian boy
farther and farther up the bluff
Mr.. Barnett, attracted by the cries, took
in the situation at a glance and ran for
the bluff with his rifle, which he happened
TO have with him. Before he reached the
child an Indian buck had come up with
killed 1t with a club. Mr.. Barnett had
been afraid TO shoot for fear of hitting
the child, the mark being moving one.
He shot the other eagle, however, Just as
1t commenced to soar away. Strange to
say, the little boy was not seriously in
jured, although nearly frightened to
death.
