FOOL TRAIT OF CRABS.

Make Prisoners of Themselves by
 Crawling Into Live Oysters.
 An oyster shucker found in the shell of the bivalve what he called a baby crab.
 That's the first one of that kind ever found in a Long Island oyster" said the old shucker, "and I've been shucking along the sound for twenty years. But such crabs are frequently found in Virginia oyster shells and are considered great delicacies when you get enough of them. Last summer I was shucking while on a visit to Vir- ginia, and 1 found enough baby crabs in oyster shells to fill an ordinary size coffee pot A young woman saw them and clapped her hands at the sight. She asked me what 1 would take for them, and 1 said $2 without thinking. She took me up quicker than a mice, and off she ran with them as if she had drawn prize.
 Why do they go into oyster shells?"
 "I don't know. I asked an old Vir- ginia shucker that same question, and he said it was because they were lone some and went in for company. But don't believe it. That would mean that crabs think, and we know they don't. Neither does a lobster. 1 think the biggest fool In water is a lobster. suppose you know how we catch lob sters in the sound? Take a box, bore holes in the side of it, and sink it. Put out your buoy so you'll know where to find the box Leave the box sunk all night and go out the next morning, haul it up, and you've got box full of Holsters. And the funny thing about it is that they go into the holes back ward. Even people will put their heads into holes where they are look ing, but it takes a lobster to back into a hole, and they keep on doing it. Fish are smart. You have to play with them to bite. But Holsters, they back right into your arms. Biggest fools that live."-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Not Easily Opened.

"I bought this umbrella in Germany" said the lawyer, "and nobody can open 1t except myself. Do you notice that little keyhole in the slide? Here's the key sn the other end of my watch chain, and until it is inserted and turn ed the thing is absolutely immovable. Anybody else would find 1t harder to raise than a. Kansas mortgage. On at least a dozen different occasions the umbrella has been stolen, or taken by accident, if you prefer the term, but it always found It's way home. You see, my name is cut on the handle, and the umbrella Itself is we'll known to all the attaches of the building. When they see a stranger struggling with it in the doorway on a rainy day they promptly cOnfiscate the property and bring it back. It is such a good scheme I'm surprised the idea hasn't been gen. orally adopted in this country"

ScurVY.

Prior to the present century scurvy was one of the most dreaded diseases on shipboard. Armies were deeimated by it and navies rendered useless; sometimes half a ships crew would be disabled by scurvy. Until the research eS showed that it owed its origin to the lack of fresh vegetables, it's ravages were frequent and widespread. In l795 were introduced into the Brit iSh navy the admirable regulations of provisioning ships of war drawn up by Blanc. Since then scurvy has al- most disappeared. At the present time 1t is seen only in exceptional circum- stances, such as have arisen in the Klondyke. Even in the long, lonely voyages to the pole our means of fur nishing the crew with vegetable food in various forms has prevented any outbreak of Philadelphia Medical Journal.

CAT REFUSED TO DIE.
How an Intelligent Pussy Baked E
 University Professors Lecture,

How an Intelligent Pussy Baked a
 University Professors Lecture.
 Students of one of the big universi- ties in this city have a cat that has utterly refused to become a martyr to science. It's history Is another in- stance of the refining and elevating in, tiuence of science.
 Prof. Blank asked J. P. Morgan. the 1anitor, to get a cat for him, as he wished to illustrate his lecture on Res piration" by experiments upon the ani- nal. MT. Morgan succeeded in getting one with the aid of some small boys. When his students had assembled the professor put the cat into the glass re- ceiver of the air pump and began to pump out the air. Before the piston had time to move more than once or twice the cat began to feel very un- comfortable. and, discovering the aper- ture through which the air was escap- ing, put her foot on it and thus corked the pipe and stopped the removal of the air
 Several subsequent attempts to carry on the experiments were alike ineffect- ual, for as soon as the glass cover was put over her and she felt the removal of the air the cat would put her feet over the pipe and kee p them pressed there.
 The students, struck by the remark able intelligence shown by the cat, asked the professor to liberate the anil nal, and loudly cheered her self-pos- session when the cat, after coolly cleaning herself and smoothing her ruff1ed fur, jumped down and rubbed against the legs of the students sitting on the front bench. She is now per manently annexed to the college and an object of interest to all visitors Chicago Times-Herald.

'"They toll not, neither do they spin" is often applied responsibility to the members of royal families, but not al- ways with justice. The late Grand Duke George of Russia, younger broth CT of the Czar and heir apparent to the throne, although always of frail health and much taxed with court ceremonies and social functions, was an earnest student and hard worker, and made an admirable translation from English into Russian of Capt. Mahan's book, 1.-The Influence of Sea-Power Upon His tory" How many young men in any walk of life have achieved such a task as that at so early an age? For be was only g when he died.

Rain and the Hose

! To flowers rain is the drink of drinks. You may deluge them with barrels from the hydrant and they will, at best, sim ply hold their own. Generally they wither in the long, dry seasons, and that without regard to the artificial wetting they may receive from the gardeners. But let a shower, however brief, fall upon them and they brighten visibly. The difference is that the rain brings down with it through the air a chemical quality that the vegetation needs. The rainwater may be like that in the lake as two volumes of water can be. But when 1t has ridden the upper levels of the atmosphere, when it has travelled through the various stages of vapOr and liquid, and has tumbled down through the retort of the air, 1t has become charged with ele- ments that no man can give 1t.

 He's right" said the weather beaten old man with a fringe of whiskers un- der his chin. The feller as wrote that is steerin straight an no mistake" he added as he bit a piece out of a plug of tobacco.

The tide of travel will set heavily iD toward Europe nexr spring. Paris and the great French exposition will be the objective point. Thousands of Amerl- cans will then visit Europe for the first time, while other thousands will simply score another annual trip More and more Americans visit Europe each year They are attracted by those nameless charms which age alone can bring and which is a fascination of the older civilization. But even before the trip to Europe should come the trip to America. We have in these United States vast and diversified country which. politically. is working out the highest conception of popular govern ment the world has yet attained In a relative sense it is new and it is crude
 It presents few ruins, venerable or oth- erwise, but it has within its confines some of the noblest scenery the sun shines upon. The man whose vision is limited to Manhattan Island or the New England States sees the play of "Hamlet' with Hamlet left out. Back of him for 5000 miles, clear to the Pa cific Ocean, stretches a wealthy and populous country, the people of which have grappled with and conquered nov el problems, have made the American desert blossom like the rose and made productive the fiinty heart of nature.

Last year 5.2oo,o0 pounds of alumi- mum, valued at $1,716,O00, were pro duced In the United States. The value per pound was therefore B cents. In 1888 19,000 pounds of that metal were produced. valued at nearly $3.33 a practically prohibitory cost. Improved processes of manufacture reduced rap idly the market price of metal that can be utilized in so many ways, and as a consequence there was a great in- crease in the output. The value per pound in 1889 was about $2.50, in 1890 S1, In 1891 66 cents, in 1894 5712 cents. in 1896 40 cents, and in 1897 571a cents. The cost of production is being low cred, but not as rapidly as in earlier years. The slight reduction in 1898. as compared with 1897, was accompa- nied, however. by an increase of 80 per cent. In the output.

THE GREEDY CATFISH.
His Eating Capacity as Wonderful
 as His HOI5 on Life.

His Eating Capacity as WonderfuA
 as His Hole on Life.
 The catfish belongs to an ancient type not yet fully made into fish, and hence those whose paired fins are all properly fastened to the head, as his are not, hold him in we'll merited Scorn. He has no scales and no bright colOrs. His fins are small and Sis head and mouth are large. ArGShd his mouth are eight long ''smellers," 1" Eeshy feelers, that he pushes out as he crawls along the bottom in search of anything that he may eat. AS he may eat anything. he always finds it. His appetite is as impartial as that of goat Anything, from a dead lam prey or bunch of sunfish eggs to a piece of tomato can, is grateful to him.
 In each of the fins, which represent his arms, is long, sharp bone, with slimy surface and a serrated edge. These are fastened by ball and sock ct joint, and whenever the fish Is alarmed the bAne is whirled over and set in place; then it sticks out stifiy on each side. There is another such bone in the fin on the back, and when all of these are set there Is no fisn that can swallow him.
 When he takes the hook, which he surely will do if there is any hook to be taken, he will swallow it greedily. AS he is drawn out of the water he sets his three spines and laughs to himself as the boy bricks his fingers trying to get the hook from his stOm- ach. This the boy is sure to do, and because the boy of the Mississippi valley is always fishing for catfish Is the reason why his fingers are always sore. The catfish is careless of the present and sure of the future. After he is strung on a birch branch and dried in the sun and sprinkled with dust and has had his stomach dug out to recover the hook, if he falls into the brook he will swim away. He holds no malice and is ready to bite again at the first thing in sight.-POpular Science Monthly.

WHEN FASTING IS FATAL.
Loss of Weight Below O Certain
 Point Brings Death.

Loss of Weight Below O Certain
 Point Brings Death.
 During a long fast the daily loss of weight becomes gradually less and less. Death comes when the total loss has reached a certain percentage, which percentage varies with the orig, inal weight. Fat animals may lose half their weight, thinner ones per. haps two-fifths.
 habit, weighing 143 pounds, could, therefore, lose about 55 pounds before succumbing. Heart action, respiration and blood pressure remain unaltered during starvation, but the tempera, ture of the body falls nearly a degree in most cases. The secretion of gastric juice ceases, but saliva and bile are still formed. The duration of life de- pends upon the extent and activity of the physiological processes.
 Children die after a fast of from three to five days, during which they have lost a quarter of their weight. Healthy adults, however, have lasted 60 days when water has been taken.
 pr. Schaeffer, a German physician, notes the case of a woman, aged AT, who died after a fast of 43 days, dur ing which she drank water freely. Her weight, which was 143 pounds a year before her death, was reduced to 99 pounds. It was a case of sui cidal melancholia, and the woman pa tiently carried out her horrible under taking so quietly as to scarcely at tract the notice of her family and died at last calmly and peacefully without complaint or apparent evidence of sui fering.-San Francisco Examiner.

An English girl of good family has become infatuated with Prince Loben- gula, the Matabele chief, who has been on exhibition in London, and, after vainly trying to marry him in England, she has gone to live with him in his kraal in South Africa. The example threatens to become contagious, and London society is scandaliZed by the attention which white women of good breeding have been lavishing upon these black savages in the Earl Court exhibition. The sad case of Desdemo- ma and Othello does not seem to have impressed these English women. But perhaps there are not men enough in England to go around. The blame for this state of affairs may be laid at the door of the American girl, who has been poaching so long on the English girls preserves. One might write quite . pathetic story showing how the

How to Open a New Book.

Hold the book with its back on a smooth or covered table; let the front board down, then the other, holding the leaves in one hand while you open a few leaves at the back, then a few at the front, and so go on, alternately opening back and front, gently pressing open the sections till you reach the center of the volume. Do this two or three times and you will obtain the best results. Open the volume violently or carelessly in any one place and you will likely break the. back and cause start in the leaves Never force the back. If it does not yield to gentle opening rely upon it the back is too tightly or strongly lined.
 A connoisseur many years ago, an excellent customer of mine, who thought he knew perfectly how to han dle books, came into my office when had an expensive binding just brought from the bindery ready to be sent home. He, before my eyes, took hold of the volume, and tightly holding the leaves in each hand, instead of allowing them free play, violently opened it in the center and exclaimed, "How beautifully your bindings openi' almost tainted He had broken the back of the volume. and it haG to be rebound.
