OYSTERS AND CRABS.
When the Season of the Former End
Virginians Turn to the
Other.

The oyster season is now over and,
upon the whole, has been very unprofit-
able, especially to our tongers, who
constitute by far the largest number
engaged in the industry. The ''dredg-
ers" have had a fairly prosperous year,
but owing to the depletion of the nat
ura1 rocks in the waters on this side
Of the bay, and the restrictions imposed
by law on this class, they have been
compelled to seek their living in the
waters of the Potomac, which are en-
joyed in common by the people OF this
state and of Maryland.
With the close of the oyster season.
our oystermen-or very many of them
will engage in the catching of crabs
for markell business that has as
sumed in recent years large proper
tons in this section, and which has be-
come very profitable to some and the
source of meat and bread" during the
spring and summer months to many
others. Already the sails of many
boats whiten the waters of our sounds
and small bays, and the boatmen are
busily engaged in ''scraping" for the
delicious soft crab. In the local mar
ket these are selling for 80 cents per
dozen. Many thousands of dozens are
caught and shipped packed in soft
grass and ice-to the great northern
cities during the season.
Thousands of barrels of ''hard crabs
are also caught, and many are shipped
at once to market, while others of pc
culiar characteristics are sold to the
local crab dealers. They are put in
floats" in the salt water of the creeks
and bays, in which. after the lapse of
few days or a week, they shed or
least" the SHELL or hard and bony
structure in which they were hitherto
incased, and come out-twice their
former size-the tender and delicious
soft crabN so much sought after and
enjoyed, not only by man, but by birds
of the air, the hungry monsters of the
deep" and by the beasts of the land
as well. 1t is a well-known fact that
thousands of dollars worth of these
creatures-while in their natural ele-
ment-fall victims to the monsters by
which they are surrounded during their
period of elplessness-just after she'd
ding they can move neither claw
nor fill to fight or to run.
1t may be of interest to some of your
readers to know that the crab only
grows when it Sheds and that while
young it sheds about every month of
the warm season, and usually during n
certain phase of the moon-Baltimore
Sun.

Value of Army Discipline.

Regular army discipline is severe.
and some very brave fighters object to
discipline and want to do their fight
ing after their own notions. But there
are advantages in hard discipline. a
regiment which has been trained thor
oughly has a better chance of coming
out of tight place than a militia body.
A martinez is not a bad man to have
around If he knows how to keep you
in good health, how to harden you for
the trials you have to endure and how
to save your life in a battle If it can
be saved. He is much to be preferred
to good-natured companion who will
not make you take care of yourself
whether you want to or not, or COM
pei you to learn how best to act in a
fight The regular army is not an ath-
letic club, but those who want to go
to war, with the least risk and with the
best chance of doing valuable work for
their country, should turn their atten-
tion to its recruiting stations.-N. J.

sICYCLIST HURT.
A Triplet That Was Pacing Griffin Hal
stead Accidentally Crowds Him
Into Fence.

WASHINGTON. July 3.-Griffin Hal.
stead, one of the speediest racing
cyclists in the District, met with a
serious accident while training at In
ternational park. He was making an
attempt to lower the quarter mile
paced record when the accident oc-
Cured. It appears that a triplet that
was pacing him swung out too far on
the first bank and accidentally crowd
ed him with terrific force into the
fence on the turn. He struck the rail-
ing head down and was hurled back
ward on the embankment. 1t was
found that his front teeth were all
broken off, his gums cut, a long cash
in his chin; arms, legs and back Sc
verely lacerated and bruised and that
he was otherwise badly injured. 1t is
doubtful whether he will ever race
again. He is a son of Hon. Murat
Halstead and is chief page in the house
of representatives.

LEARNING TO SWIM.
The Chief Characteristic of a Good
Swimmer Is Strong, Slow
Stroke and Self Reliance.

just soon as the warm weather
sets in, many persons who, at the close
of last summer, were able to swim a
few strokes, viii again somewhat tim
orously enter the water. The majority
will find this self-imposed task far more
difficult than is anticipated. 1t is neces-
sary to remind those that indulge in
short, hurried strokes that one of the
golden rules of swimming is, move slow
ly and deliberately. Those who wish
to become good swimmers must Gull
tivate self-reliance, and they should al
ways bear in mind that water itself has
a sustaining power far greater than tina t
of most other liquids. The slow stroke
is the very essence of good swimming.
1t enables the bather to initiate the
lungs, and thus unconsciously turn
them temporarily into Iife-preservers
To move slowly is to get plenty of
breathing-time, and to get plenty of
breathing-time is to get plenty of
strength to repeat the movements
which propel the body through the
water. The second golden rule which
the beginner should school herself to
remember is that the living human body
is specifically lighter than water, and
that, consequently, it does not neces-
sarily sink therein Confidence in the
sustaining power of water is the only
secret to swimming. The best way to
convince the novice of the buoyancy of
water is to let her wade out until the
water comes up TO her breast; but be-
fore doing this she should take care.
when in shallow water, to immerse her
whole body, so as to avoid the rush of
blood to the head, from which many
bathers suffer through neglecting to do
this. With the water once on a level
with the breast, the bather should lie
on her back and extend her arms out
beyond her head, but not raised out of
the water. This position makes breath
ing easy and counterbalances the
weight of the legs. The bather should
lie restfully and avoid stiffening the
neither limbs. The hips should be rigid,
the feet close together, but not out of
the water, for if they were they would
overbalanee the weight of the head and
carry it beneath the surface.-Frank

COOP{D UP IN SANTIAGO
Gen. Miles Asserts That American
Troops Have Made It Impossi-
bic for Spaniards to Retreat.
TROOPS TO Be RUSHED TO SANTIAGO.
Volunteers Available for Service at jack
sonville and lamp, to Be Sent Forward
to Take the Place of the Killed and
Wounded-Sa mi son IsOmbards MORO
Castle and Other Fortifications.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-"Maj. Gen.
Skaters object in first making the at
tack at Caney was for the purpose of
getting troops behind and to the north
of the city of Santiago and thus cut
ting off the retreat of the Spaniards
through the pass of FL Cristo." This
statement was made last night by Maj.
Gen. Miles. just behind the city of
Santiago, in northerly direction,
is the pass of Ell Cristo. In case
the Spanish general found it neces-
sary to evacuate the city he would
certainly attempt to retreat through
this pass. Once his army was in
trenched in this pass it would be an
exceedingly difficult task for the
United States troops to force him to
surrender. Ten miles west of the bay
of Santiago is the pass of FL Cobre. 1t
is not thought that the Spanish army
will make an attempt to retreat in
that direction, as the country is very
noun ainous and it would gain no
advantage in making such a move.
There is still another pass through
the mountains in a northeasterly di-
rection from the city. This pass is
known by the name of Ell Condella.
Gen. Lawton has, however, made it
impossible to retreat. They are now,
in fact, cooped up in the city of San
tiago.
Troops to he Rushed TO Santiago.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-In reply to a
telegram as king how many transports
he could send back to Tampa, in order
that reinforcements might be sent
him, Gen. Shafter last night replied
that Col. Humphreys had been ordered
to return as many transports as posi-
BILE at once. There are several thou
sand troops at Jacksonville and Tampa
available for service at the front.
They will be sent forward without de-
lay. Even after Santiago has fallen
there are at least two large sections
of the Spanish army in San tiago prov
ince to be met and conquered, and the
reinforcements will be utilized as re-
serves in taking the places of the
killed and wounded in the Santiago
fight.
MORO Castle Destroyed.
WASHINGTON. July 3.-The naviga-
ton bureau has received cipher tele-
gram from Sampson reporting that
most of his heavy ships began early in
the day the bonn bardment of MORO
castle. Several thousand shells were
thrown into this fortification, and
Sampson describes the castle at the
conclusion of the bombardment as
total ruin. The Notifications guard
ing the mouth OF antiago harbor have
been RACED and ruined.
