AS GAME AND FOOD.
How They Are Captured and Cooked in
 the Freshwater Southwest

How They Are Captured and Cooked in
 the Freshwater Southwest
 "Crawfeesh!" is the cry most fre- quently heard on St. Louis streets these sultry July nights. At a moderate computation 1t is repeated ten thousand times daily from p. m. to a. m. be- tween Vandeventer avenue and the le- wee. It has superseded the Red hot!" slogan of the wienerwurst man. It is symptomatic evidence of new indus try, an industry by which hundreds of men, women and boys are making liv- ing. 1t means that man or boy is traversing the streets carrying a bas- ket laden with freshwater@ Holsters boiled to a beautiful carmine and ready to be eaten.
 "Crawfeesh" is the vendors pronun- citation of what modern dictionaries spell "crawfish," Pliny designated 'creevice," our English cousins know as "crevis," and southern folk, educa- ted before the word was corrupted write ''crayfish," although they pro- nounce it "craw"-which is proper un- less you have the knack of saying 'kra" after the French fashion The distinction in the sound is the same as in "aw'' and "ah."
 If you have never eaten crawfish you have a pleasure in store But don't make your first venture when you are serious in your desire for food. To a hungry man eating crawfish is like talk ing soup with a fork; it is an aggrava- tion rather than a solace. Wait till you merely wish to eat to pamper your pal ate, then try crawfish. If you do, and are lucky enough to get them properly prepared and your time is only good to pass, and you have a proper apprecia- tion of St. Louis beer, the odds are one hundred to one that you will become a slave to the crawfish habit.
 It is given to few persons to know the crawfish alive as we'll as dead There is a dim but widely disseminated theo- " that the craw never moves forward Even the Rev. Sam Jones fosters this belief by telling story of the old craw- fish saying to the young crawfish, "Go ahead, young man. and the young aheadcrawfish retorting, Suppose you set the example.
 But is an error to suppose that the crawfish always reverses the lever to go ahead. He can advance head first very slowly and painfully on land, and with more facility under water. and he ha- bitually swims that way, but when he is in a hurry he goes backward. The craw belongs to the crustacean family, is nearly related to the lobster, | and has the same disposition and tastes modified to suit his fresh-water habita- l ton. He is a scayenger, just as the

DEEP-SEA EXPLORATIONS.
Strange Forms of Marine Life-A Talk by the Prince of Monaco-Animals
 Hitherto Unknown-A Queer Habit


 by the Prince of Monaco--Animals Hitherto Unknown-A Queer Habit of Fishes.
 Among the special circumstances cre- ated by the statistical and dynamical conditions of the deep sea, organic life presents itself under aspects which ap- pear strange to those who are accus- toned to it's appearance near the sur- face. l endeavored to obtain from all the levels of the sea as many samples of the species belonging to them as it was possible, but I had to find other apparatus than the old trawl used for former scientific cruises, which can only get animals fixed on the bottom of the sea, or hiding in the mud, or pos sessing very slow means of progressing. Of course, I have used it a great deal, because no other instrument can collect for us certain fauna; but when it oc- cured to me that there must be in the deep waters some humble animals able to escape such a net as a traWl, I first built trap of a special shape and very large. in order to attract these sup posed animals, when properly baited.
 The trap is lowered to the bottom with steel cable, and hauled up again after having been left there for a day or two attached to a buoy. The hand ling of this was very difficult in the be- ginning, and required several years practice to be brought up to positive rules, but it has given most brilliant results, animals quite unknown coming into my hands perfectly well preserved against shocks, frictions and other causes of damage to which they would be liable in d trawl. One interesting fact they have shown is the enormous numbers in which some animals exist in certain places.
 As an example, I obtained one day in a trap that had been lying on the bot tom at seven hundred fathoms depth for twenty-four hours 1,19S fish called "Simenchelys parasiticus," which was only known by one or two samples in a more or less imperfect state. I have succeeded in sending these traps as low as three thousand fathoms with

NEW WORDS NEEDED.

English Demand For Such Combinations
as '.KiIlment" and "Lovist."
There is one thing that has not yet
been treated" by the universal i'm
prover-that pest whe tries to set every
thing right-and that is our English
! language Nome but foreigners have as
yet had cause to complain of it, every
Britisher seems to be satisfied with it
except me.
Now, why aren't there more words?
We have something like $50, 600. but
that is not enough, and we often ezpe-
rience difficulties on this account.
For instance, when a bus topples
over in the street the newspapers boom
out with long winded headings about
! "the falling over of a bus, " collapse
of a bus,'' or 1.-THE overturning OF n
, bus" etc. Bat these are more or less
clumsy. Clearly it's the word lover
turnsion" that is wanted. 1.-The over
turnsion of bus'' hits the situation
perfectly.

Thousands of colloquialisms could be
modified in similar way. The awk-
ward word photograph could be changed
to ''fotofy," puncture to punk. " Gig
arctic to "cigette," situation to ISL

In more sentimental MATTERS new
words would be decided boon. A man

''Lovist, - "spilcer" or thatcher" are
infinitely more tasteful and convey the
proper meaning.-London Answers.

Saturday DR.. Giffin said that in the
Second division hospital at Chicka-
manga Park last July there were in
each tent eight or nine men, when there
should have been from four to six. There
was suf1ciency OF physicians, and Ma
jor Giffin was sure they were competent
men. He considered the water supply
good: but the sinks were poorly located
They were too near the kitchens, and
were too shallow. His acquisitions were
sent direct to the surgeon general at
Washington, often by wire, and there
was never any delay. Governor Brad
ley went to the Sternberg hospital in
tending to take sick Kentuckians
home. The question was left to the
men, Out of sixteen only one said he
wanted to go, and he was insane. DR..
Giffin had no complaint of neglect to
make against any Of the officials of the
war department.
The chief fault DR.. Giffin found was
with the sinks, which We're located too
near the kitchens when there was any
amount of room to locate them farther
away. Captain Baldridge said that at
Camp Cuba Libre some of the kitchens
were not wen managed, as all of the
army cooks were not experts. He be-
Heved that for army in camp green

San Juan. Porto Rico, Oct 1e.-lCopy-
right. 1885, by Associated Press. 1.-The
leading politicians of the island are very
much concerned about the future gov
eminent of Porto Rico. After a pro-
longed struggle they succeeded, just be-
fore the open: lg of the war. in securing
from Spain the outward semblance of a
complete autonomous regime. Although
it never received a fair trial the grant
of autonomy with its promise of home
rule for the island was hailed as great
victory, and much was expected of it
in time. Suddenly the old government
is swept away and another country
alien in tongue. race and customs is to
determine the future status of the ISL
and.
Naturally the politicians dread the is
sues. They do not want to be obliteratec.
They fear that he aggressive spirit OF
the Anglo-Saxon will crowd them into
the background and leave the reins of
government entirely in the hands of the
conQuerors. In word, it is carpet
hag'' rule they fear. They believe they
are ready now for a system of home
rule, and they will resent any undue
prolongation of military control of the

Fame Kept alive by Flowers.

Flower Names" written by Ella T.

Some of the roses have French his
toric names, as the Souvenir de Malmai-
son, and the splendid Jacqueminot, the
soldier
Who shared in Napoleon's glory,
And dreamed that his sword had won his
fame!
All, the fate of man is past discerningi
Little did Jacqueminot suppose
At AusteFlitz or at Moscow's burRing
That his fame would rest in the heart OF a
rosel
What could be lovelier indeed than
to have ones memory kept alive by a
flower, as has been the fortune of the
botanists Fuchs, Kahn, L'Obel, Dahl
and Magnol, who would have been for
gotten long ago but for the fuchsia and
