The Hermit Crab.

Gently crack the shell of the whelk,
for you will find 1t almost impossible to
extract the occupant alive otherwise,
and you will see what you may be par
dOned for supposing a miniature lob
ster, but which In reality belongs to an
other distinct species-namely, the her
NIT crab Pagurus bernhardus. Wheth-
er he has obtained occupancy by force
OF arms or merely through decease Of
the original tenant is a moot point, but
the first supposition is highly probable,
as he Is a most belligerent little GUS
toner.
An amusing scene may be witnessed
by placing several hermit crabs depriv-
ed Of their shells In an ordinary soup
plate, with little sea water and some
empty shells-fewer shells than crabs.
The fighting and struggling to secure
houses is ludicrous in the extreme. One
may be seen almost successful In moor
ing himself within q shell, which, by
the way. Is effected by means of the
shelly plates at the extremity of his
soft and twisted tail. when another
seizes him by the nape of the neck. as
It were, and he is dragged reluctantly
forth. The evicter still holds him strug-
Cling at claws length, and not until he
himself Is safely ensconced does he re-
linQuish his grasp.-Chambers' Journal.

The Belief In n Devil.

A maidservant belonging to one OF
the women's colleges had been out
with her lover without leave from hei
mistress and was returning late along
my road. at the top of which lived the
lamented Professor Nettleship Now,
the latter had large yellow dog that
took the usual canine delight In seeing
cats scatter and fee. and, the better 10
pounce on them when they were
Stealthily crossing the street, he would
perch himself on the top of the pro-
fessor's garden wall, surrounded and
half hidden in the foliage. AS the tru-
ant maidscryant passed beneath him
he caught sight of cat In the middle
Of the road and, making a spring at it.,
collided with her and knocked her
down. She picked herself up and ran
screaming home, almost mad with ter
ror, because, as she said, the devil had
jumped on her back and thrown her
down.-International Monthly.

IN placing the boards in position slir
one edge well under the outside leaves
Of the plants, then bring this edge up
ward until in a vertical position along
the row. having another board at the
same time placed on the other side SO
that when in position there will be as
little space between the boards as the
thickness Of the plants will permit.
These boards may when used on a
small scale only be fastened in position
by means Of stakes driven in the
ground by mailing short pieces of lath
across the top every six or eight feet
or by means Of nOtched sticks placed
over the tops Of the boards
Any one of these methods would be
too incOnvenlent when applied on q
large scale, and far better one Is that
practiced by the large growers-name-
ly. that of using hooks or spanners
about six inches long made of heavy
galvanized wire bent somewhat In the
shape Of the thumb and first finger dis
tended. These spanners are slipped
over the upper edges Of the boards
every few feet to hold them together.
and the plants are rigid enough to keep
the boards In an upright position.
Two or three weeks time will be re-
Quired to complete the blanching Of
early varieties. but the boards must be
kept In position until the crop is re-
moved from the ground. after which
they may be used again two or three
times during the season.
If the celery is allowed to remain in
the boards too long after it has reach
ed marketable stage. 1t loses in
weight and flavor and is liable to be
injured or even destroyed by the at
tacks Of blight.
Perhaps the most satisfactory way
Of blanching early celery on small
scale Is by means of ordinary farm
draintiles Of about four inches inside
diameter. placed over the plants after
they have become almost fully grown.
To facilitate the work Of placing the
tiles over the plants some of the out
side leaves should be pulled away and
the main part Of the plant loosely tied
together by means Of soft string or.
better. with what is known as. paper
Irvine, being string made by twist |
Ing strip Of soft paper. This string
will lose it's strength as soon as II be-
comes wet and will offer no resistance
to the further growth Of the plant.

YYOrY CARVING.

The ivory carvers of this country dc
little or nothing in the East Indian OF
Japanese manner, nor do they occupy
| themselves with figure work. Their
chief employment Is In producing deco
rative toilet and stationery articles.
The carvers of ivory use much the
same tools as the wood carvers, but of
lighter and more delicate make.
; The work Is extremely tedious and
laborious. The carving Is usually done
In low relief, and the subjects are such
as are suitable to this treatment-Per-
sian designs in delicate curves, the cac-
tus, with some varieties of palms, and
hints caught from those marvelously
simple but artistic carvings Of the
Alaskan Indians. The ivory is stained
slightly 80 as to bring out the design
and is permitted to absorb moisture,
which II readily does, In order to give
It that fresh look common In newly
manufactured articles of ivory. The
art of staining ivory Is secret guard
ed well by the carvers.
Some idea of the cost of Ivory cary
ing may be had from the fact that,
while a hand mirror framed In plain
ivory may be had for $40 or SO, a mir
ror In carved ivory may cost 500 or
more. The small articles in carved ivo-
ry cost from S. to $25, and toilet set
in that material may bring as much as
S500.-New York Herald.

Tho Limbs In walking.

1t is pointed out that In walking or
running the arms and legs produce
balancing" like that of the reciprocal
ing and revolving parts Of locomo-
tive. The movements of the legs react
upon the trunk and tend to rotate it In
alternate directions about a vertical
axis, but the swinging Of the arms,
each in unison with the opposite leg,
produces an opposing mechanical cou-
pie, the effect Of which is to rotate the
trunk in the other direction, thus bal
ancing, in part at least, the rotating
action of the legs.
