FOOL TRAIT OF BABY CRABS.
Make Prisoners of Themselves by

Make Prisoners of Themselves by
Crawling Into Live Oysters.
New York Sun. ..s e.t.i,..,
An oyster shucker found in the shell of
the bivalve what he called baby crab
That's the first one of that kind I ever
found in q Long Island OYSTER said the
old shucker, land I've been shuckin9
along the sound for twenty years. But
such crabs are frequently found in Vir-
gtnia oyster shells and are considered
great delicacies when you get enough of
them. Last summer was shocking while
on visit In Virginia, and I found enough
baby crabs in oyster shells to fill an ordi-
narysize coffeescup. A young woman saw
them and clapped her hands at the sight
She asked me what I would take for
them, and said 81 without thinking. She
took me up quicker than mice, and off
she ran with them as If she had drawn
prize
"Why do they go into oyster shells?'
Il don't know. l asked an old Virginia
shucker that same question, and he said
1t was because they were lonesome and
went in for company But I don't be-
lieve It, That would mean that crabs
think, and we know they don't. Neither
does lobster. I think the biggest fool in
water is the lobster. I suppose you know
how we catch Holsters IN the sound? Take
a box, bore holes in the side of 1t, and
sink 1t. Put out your buoy so you'll know
where to find the box. Leave the box
sunk all night and go out next morning
and haul 1t up, and you've got a box full
of Holsters. And the funny thing about 1t
is that they go into the holes backward.
Even people will put their heads into
holes where they are looking, but it takes
a lobster to back into hole, and they
keep on doing 1t. Fish are smart You
have to play with them to get them TO
bite. But Holsters, they back right into
your arms. Biggest fools that live

Of the thousands of passenger trains
which arrived and departed over the
ten lines running into the st. Paul Union
depot during the past year, % per cent
of them were operated by The North
Western Line-C., ST. P, M & O. rail-
way-while the company coming next
had less than 14A per cent.
The great speed and security with
handled by The Northwestern Line
comes as result from the fact that
they have more miles of road equipped
with the 'block signal system" than has
any other line entering the Twin Cities
The Western Limited Is the
finest train In the world. There are

FISHING FOR THE SEA SPIDER,
Lively Encounter with an Uncanny
Creature In Alaskan Waters

DAY found myself near a camp of In

following morning to fish per-

and shouted to the Indian next to me
tnat was foul. He took the line, gave
tremendous jerk, and received one in
return; then, bracing himself back, he
began to pull and scream; then all hands
screamed, and I understood that a sea
spider had the line and also the bottom.
L expected every minute to see the canoe
go over, as the men went from side to
side, now forcing the rail down SO that
the water poured In, now lifting with O.
mighty yell, then stacking off so suddenly
that they fell in heap.

The following table shows the number
and value Of mich COWS In the United
Tot

The above computation, which is taken
from the figures Of the department Of
agriculture. shows that there has been
a steady, though slow increase In the
number Of cows since 1891.
To the casual thinker, the small ratio
of such increase will occasion surprise
For instance, the increase in four years,
from 1891 to 1885, was only 1856, 039, while
In 1896 the number actually decreased
from that of the year before 367, 043
OF course this statement is but the
estimate Of the officials of the depart
ment, but they have the best opportunity,
and the most reliable data In the nation.
upon which to base an estimate. and we
may conclude that their figures are fair
ly accurate These figures afford us an
opportunity for looking at the actual
drift Of the dairy interest. The cost OF
production which of course decides the
amount Of profit which Is left In the
pocket of the cow owner is determined
not so much by the market price of but
ter and cheese, as by the intelligence Of
the COW owner and the capacity of the
cow. Put a good cow and an intelligent
owner together, and more profit will be
derived at low prices than with poor
cow and ignorance with high prices.
The average value of the cows of the
United States, as shown by the figures at
the head of this article was So. so in 1891 !;
$2141 in 1892; $2196 in 1898, and $22.55 In
1885,
The cause Of the marked falling off in
the number of cows in 1895 Is hard to
determine. The high prices for veals
no doubt has caused the death of many
a likely heifer calf. It is fact, how
ever, that as the number Of cows In
creases in any given territory, the num-
Der of heifers that are raised to cow
hood decreases in like proportion.

When the senate meets at 2:30 this aft
ernoon it will start on what promises to
be one of the stormiest, as well as one
of the busiest, weeks of the session
There has been a lazy and listless dis
position on the part of this body which
has resulted in the accumulation on gen.

confront the senators today. Perhaps a
fourth Of them are of considerable i'm

appropriation bill. upon which joint
committee from both senate and house
is now at work.
Senator Wilson's bill to put the state
Oil inspector on a salary, instead Of con-
tinuing him on the fee basis, promises
to provoke a fight when it comes up on
the calendar, which will be in order to-
morrow.
The Staples bill for the prevention OF
the sale of timber and ore from lands
until delinquent taxes are paid has beer
given a place near the head of gen.
eral orders, and 1t is believed will pass
about the middle Of the week with small
opposition, 1t being needed by the Re-
publicans for political capital as the,
think.
The Jepson medical bill promises
to meet with strenuous opposition wher
1t comes uI~0n the calendar.
