Human beings are not the only crea-
lures that have discovered the ap-
petizing, though indigestible, qualities
Of crabs, and some Of these animals
have been compelled to resort to vari-
GUS defensive measures. Disguise is
one of these and is practiced with
great effect by spider crabs.
These deliberately bite up seaweeds
and plant them on their backs, very
soon establishing growth which har-
monies perfectly with the surround
ings and deceivcs many an enemy.
Should the weeds grow too vigorously,
the crab industriously prunes them
with his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot off and starts q
fresh garden on his roof, 80 to speak
The sponge crab behaves in similar
manner. nipping off little bits of living
sponge and sticking them on his back,
where they grow vigorously. The
same end is served as in the other case.
1t is very amusing to keep crabs Of
one or other of these kinds in an aqua
rum and deprive them of the usual
means of concealment.
They get very nervous and agitated
and try to cover themselves with bits
Of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said to
have had a little greatcoat made for
him, which he put on in hurry as
soon us 1t was handed to him.

The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord Stan

him sat London alderman of great
wealth, a man widely respected. He
and the earl talked of many things and
found each other mutually entertain-

Influence and standing in the COM

some Of them living in Massachusetts
today, who IRE playing for keeps, but
instead of marbles they are using
wheat or corn or railroad stocks. No
one of them knows just whom he is
playing against, but each knows that
for each dollar he wins dollar is lost
by some one else.
Nevertheless am old fogy enough to
say that for myself do not regret my
early training, nor am ready to leave

the majority of parents wish their
boys to be successful 1t seems to me
you ought to make it clear that play

way of drilling boys In that acquisi-

for them in after years to provide their

Ono Of the commonest and the lar
gest Of the Christmas island land crabs
Is the well known robber crab, which
Is found in most of the tropical islands
of the Indian and Pacific oceans. 1t
sometimes reaches length of two feet
and may measure seven inches across
the back. Its colors are of very
gaudy description, the ground color be-
ing bright red, upon which there are
stripes of yellow, but in some cases
purplish blue is the prevailing tint.
The eyes are fixed on stalks which
can be moved Independently of one an
other, and there are two pairs of feel
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually jerked up and
down. There is pair of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs, and ones first encounter
with one of these creatures in the mid
die Of forest far from the sea is pro-
ductive Of much establishment on both
sides.
Another species of land crab COM
mon in Christmas island is a little
bright red animal which in general
shape is much like the common shore
crab. This variety makes burrows in
the ground, and in some places the soil
is honeycombed with hundreds of holes.
The crabs spend most of their time
collecting dead leaves, which they car
~ in their claws, holding them up over
their heads, and drag down into their
burrows, into which they scuttle at the
least alarm.-Pearson's Magazine.

as the English color, for in mentioning
the death of one of the Earl of EsseX's

do so by putting on the red coat Of q

A Happy Foot.

The custom of wishing friend 20
happy foot" is to be found in all parts
Of Europe, and it goes to show how
much superstition is connected with
our footgear. 1t is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en-
ables o person to walk in comfort, is
symbolical of happiness.
The accidental placing Of the right
shoe on the left foot, putting shoe on
awry or the breaking of lace is a
bad sign from the popular point Of
view. To tie the shoe of another indi-
vidual is Indicative of humility and
lowly position, yet the Chinese wor-
ship the shoes of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition in
some parts of England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries before her sisters the latter should
dance Mt her wedding without shoes in
order to insure husbands for them
selves. On st. Valentines eve, accord
ing to similar custom, girls should
hang their shoes outside the window If
they wish to secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success and wear them on all Inn
portant occasions.
