There is a novelty in the shape Of

is made Of the inside claw Of the left

lie was in a market place one day and
noticed a very fine specimen Of lobster.
The captain is an Englishman, and,
having seen and used many Of the
unique holders. decided that the claw
Of this lobster would make a very fine
holder for bis Havana. He purchased
the lobster and cut of the claw and put
10 in his trunk. \ few weeks ago, struck
with tine novelty Of the thing in city
where even the lobster is not common,

from the shell, be got ont the shell and
polished it up. 1t makes an ideal cigar
holder 1t is about two inches in length,
and one side Of it is serrated. When it
is first used. it Is bright red, the color
of a boiled lobster As the smoke and
nicotine penetrate the soft she'll il grad
ualiy turns black as ebony At first the
color begins IN spots and then spreads
entirely over the entire holder with the
exception If the teeth, which still retain
their yermilion hue.
I'm England. where the lobster shell
is much used in the manufacture Of
rriukets. the cigar holder made Of the
claw is very common II is, however,
only about one lobster in 30 that is
available for this use The ieweler takes
the holder in the rough and polishes it.
He outs am amber tip on it and a silver
or gold band Oh the large end. and it
sells easily 1t much resembles a meer-
schaum. and people who have used
these holders for long periods Of time
say That they get TO like the taste Of
the lobster holder as much as the cigar
itself
The captain was presented a few
days age with the left paw Of a mon
key. which was formerly the property
Of little Edna. who belonged to Bert
Scott Of the Capital saloon. Mr. Scott
was the advance agent Of Coles, Mid
