ENGLISH SHORE CRABS.
Queer way In which Hungry and
Cunning BATS Fish for
Them.

Besides being scavengers Of the
shore crabs prey upon every living
organism near them; and as they can
see just as we'll out Of water as in
it, they will sometimes crawl short
distances out of the sea TO secure some
dainty food, and on sea beaches, when
hunger presses them hard, they will
even come above the waves at high
water and hunt after the sandthop-
pers there, says the London Contem-
porary Review.
These anxious business habits are
very attractive TO the children of the
coasts, who often receive their first
fishing lessons in the capture of these
little crabs with thread and pin hooks
1t is said that rats fish for them in
the same way, using their own tails
as lines and bait. OF this | think
there can ne no doubt, the great hunt
ing ground of the rats throughout the
summer and autumn being the coast
line Of the sea, and their quarry chief
ly these crabs Mevagissey's old pier
was built without lime, and it is not
uncommon to see rats, between high
and low water, hunting through this
structure for these invertebrata. On
one occasion | saw rat with its
hinder parts sodden with water. while
the tip of ITS tail was quite white, as
ii it had just been used as a bait.
These shore crabs, although less
than three ounces in weight, and their
caropace seldom stretching to three
inches. when cornered in difficulties
will face any enemy, however large.
Possibly these fighting procliyties
may have been intensified by the fact
that from the first dawn of existence
they have never had any kind of ma
ternal or paternal assistance. having
had to fight the battle of life alone.
The grip of their nippers is powerful.
] have known them to hold on to the
| lifting of over so times their own
weight
But, notwithstanding this strength
and courage. they know well the diff
ficulty there is in living near the
shore, with the sea birds. man and an
army of rats as their inveterate enc
mics. Moreover, in the green light of
our shallow seas. their chief trouble
is in getting any kind OF living food.
! Hence the whole race. with more than
human teuacity, cling to mimicry as
the sheet-anchor of life, and when
many of its varied forms of decep-
ton fail they have no hesitation In
Stimulating death. On the coasts of
Cornwall, near Mevagissey, the pow
/ Il. \ n 4
broken micaschist rocks give us a
brown sand. These are often inter
spersed with white markings from
quartz pebbles; hence the first act of
many young crabs here in the spring
is to color their carapace brown with
white spots.

YANKEE AND SOUTHERN GIRLS
A bright Witted Naval Omcer
Mixed Them Up, hut Made
No Enemies.

Among the visitors to the Kearsarge
were two young women. dressed hand
somely. One, in patterned rose-col-
ored dress, had black hair. the COM
pleNion of creole and bright brown
eyes. She reminded one of the song.
"She was bred in old Kentucky, Take
her, boy. you're mighty lucky" She
was a Connecticut Yankee, says the
Boston Herald.
The other girl, in plain gray skirt
and white waist, had brown hair, light
complexion and hazel eyes, She looked
like stunning" New Highlander She
was Kentuckian.
The officer of the deck was presented
to them on board He took the Yankee
for the Kentuckian, and, speaking to
the girl with the black hair, recalled
the Kearsarge and Alabama fight, say
ing a good word by courtesy for the
southern boat. The Yankee girl didn't
understand couldn't understand.
The southern girl smiled as she listened
and suddenly broke in with a sugges-
ton that she'd like to see the maya
zines and the engines of the --latest
thing, named for the ship that whipped
the southerner." The officer OF the
deck turned and looked sharply at the
brown-haired girl with the hazel eyes.
"Now, what does that mean?" he
asked. sam confused? Which is the
Kentucklan ?"
The brown-haired girl smiled again
and little flush came to the cheek of
the officer.
81 come from Kaintucky," said the
girl with the light complexion and the
hazel eyes. She spoke softly, without
resentfulness.
you're on the wrong ship"
THE wrong ship" said the girl from
Kentucky. whats the difference
nowadays? The Kearsarge and Ken
lucky are sister ships. We're all sisters
now"

DRoMEDARlES FOR SPEED.
Rudysrd Kiplins's '.Goat- La said to
he the Fastest Thing on
-Four Legs.

THE horse Is noble animal" as
all the world knows, and perhaps we
never feel him nobler than when he
is associated with the pomp and cir
cumstances of glorious war. But
when ii comes to speed and staying
power he is not in Il with the camel
or rather, to speak quite correctly,
the dromedary, since it is the drom-
euary which is bred for swiftness, the
true camel being the beast of bur
den, says the London Express. In
most uucivilized and open countries
the bearer of important communica-
tions who is denied TIE aid OF the
railway might with advantage to him
self exchange his horse for a drum-
"dary. TIE thoroughbred dromedary
in the pink of condition can do his
20 miles nm hour for a surprising num-
her of hours; "a 4 100 blood horse
would be hard put 10 it to exceed,
on long-distance gallop, some IA
miles an hour, and the fifth hour
would almost infallibly find him
played out to the point of exhaustion
With half n dozen hours rest per
day. not necessarily including food
and water, the "crack" dromedary
can be pressed TO its utmost speed for
"A week on end.
Famous as the Tartars are for their
small, swift horses, they yet reserve
their greatest enthusiasm for their
camel races, in which there compete
some of the purest-blooded animals
in all Asia, Bad though the character
of the average "oont" is, there are
among his aristocratic representatives
beasts as loyal and gentle as any
that ever wore hoof Every school
boy has by heart the dromedary's
wonderful capacity for storing both
nutriment in its hump and water in
its species of cellular stomach.
Add to this the fact, not too well
known, of its almost incredible speed
when highly bred and trained, and we
are left wondering that Europeans,
and especially European war officials,
have not paid more attention to its
marvellous qualities as u means of
rapid communication.
1t is useless, of course, for civilized
countries with paved roads, its feet
being too soft to stand the hard, mo-
notonous level Of modern highways.
But on suitable ground there is moth
ing that can compare with it for speed
and bottom" except perhaps the dog,
which, however, cannot carry a rider.
The elephant, though, can outstay
the horse, and its numbering trot of
eight miles an hour can hold on for
half day at stretch, and keep this,
its greatest degree OF speed, going for
many days. horse pressed to it's
limit of swftness must rest on alter
nate days, or 1t will collapse.
