QUEER FLORIDA CRABS.
Some Have Purple Shells and Feed en-
the Fruit of the Cactus.

Haunting the rookeries of the birds
is a large blue crab. He makes a hole
in the ground. usually under a log,
and when he hears a noise ~elevates his
head and p%rotrudes his eyes with start
ling effect. He is able to take care of
himself. for his pincers are powerful
and his shell is hard. He is often as
large as a saucer.
There is a perpetual war between him
and the birds. He wanders among the
nests at night, and appropriates the
bits of flesh left by the nestlings, and
the young themselves if he can find the
mother off her guard. But he has to be
sly, or he is killed by the stroke of a
bayonet bill and eaten in his turn.
When a plume hunter has driven off
or destroyed the parents of a rookery
these crabs swarm forth and deyour
the orphan young in short order. But
while the mothers are allowed to do
their duty the crabs are ideal scayen-
gers, and devour the refuse as well as
| the insects that infest the bird cities.
Their bright colors, like those of the
| tiger, make them less dangerous than
their appetites would otherwise be.
There is a little purple crab along
the coast of Southern Florida which
| seems to feed almost entirely on the
| fruit of the cactus. This it so much
resembles that you are suddenly sur
| prised to see one of the succulent little
| balls move away from your fingers be-
| fore you are aware that it is alive.
| Step back and the crab will resume
it's place and seem to be as curious
about you as you are about him.
One of the most beautiful shells
| found along our coast is that Of a large
snail which climbs certain trees and
| grows delicately fat on the young
birds. The shell is as thin as tissue
paper, oddly curved and almost as
transparent as the finest glass. 1t
belongs to the family of edible snails
so priced as a delicacy on the coast of
France, and if properly prepared makes
a delicious dish. 1t is most abundant
about New River inlet, where the
| slight shake of a tree about sunset
will bring a shower Of them to the
ground. The breakage Of a shell seems
to be of little trouble to the snail-he

SWEETS FOR BREAKFAST.

The custom of serving sweets, on
the breakfast table was originally an
English custom. Now it is generally
adopted in the United States, and a
little bitter orange marmalade or some
acid fruit jam is a pleasant finale to
the American breakfast. The sweets
should never be served at the begin
ming of the meal as fresh fruit IS
served. They would be too cloying
and would destroy the appetite for
more substantial food. They should
be served after the meal is practi-
cally ended, and only a small amount
should be- eaten. When there is
fresh fruit on the table marmalade or
jam is Unnecessary.
A favorite breakfast ~confection is
made of tart oranges cut in pieces:
with the outer and inner skin of the
orange torn away from the pulp. Crate
a little of the yellow peel of the or
ange with the orange pulp. Put the
whole in a small thick jar and
| sweeten it to the taste and bake like
| beans-well covered with an earthen
| plate. It will form a thick marina,
lade and acquire a bright color in sew
| eral hours baking. Apples cooked
in this slow way, with sugar added
at the beginning, and garden rhubarh
make excellent breakfast conserVes
The favor is entirely different from
apple sauce or from stewed oranges
cooked more rapidly IN the top of the
stove.

minutes. Do not put any water in

What the Insects Cost Us.

In Harper's, DR.. H. G.. McCook, in
his article on insects and Ciyiliza-
tion," gives some startling statistics as
to the amount of destruction done an
nually in this country by insects Of
various sorts. Here are his figures:
1.-THE c%hinch-bug caused a loss of
$780, 1000 in 1871, upwards of $780,
10000 in 1874, and in 1887, 100000
900. The Rocky Mountains locust, OF
erasshopper, in 1874 destroyed $780,
900, 900 of the crops of Kansas, Mis-
Souri,, Nebraska and Iowa, and the in
ldrect loss was probably as much more.
Fa many years the cotton caterpillar
saused an annual average loss in the
huthern States of $15,C00,000 while
q 1853 and 1873 the loss reached $780,
$4,000. The fy-weeyil, our most de-
stIctive enemy to stored grains, par
tfctarly throughout the South, inhicts
an Annual loss in the whole country of
$40,N0, 900. The codling-moth, the
~ehiehyavager Of the apple and pear
crops, fcstroys every year fruit valued
at $3o,eO.Ooo to $4o,00o,oo0. The dam
age to We stock inflicted by the OK
bot, or aWarble, amounts to $36,0C0,-
900.

JEWISH WIT,
Eurnor and subtlety in Narrative as Rs
cial characteristics.

Witty anecdotes are occasionally
credited to the Jews, but, according
to a writer in Chambers's Journal, 'the
Jews possess in a remarkable degree
the quality of humor and subtlety in
narrative generally of a biting or droll
nature" A number of specimens are
given. Some concern Dfsraeli, the best,
perhaps, being that relating to the late
Lord Ross1yn. what can we do with
Rosslyn?" Disraeli one asked Of a col
league. make him Master of the
Buckhounds as his father was" sug-
gested the latter. NO." replied the
premier; she swears far too much for
that. We will make him High Com

Many stories are told of the Roths-
childs. A young fop who paid one of
the celebrated Jewish bankers a visit
was so proud of his set of malachite
sleeve buttons that he foolishly insisted
on exhibiting them to his host. The
latter looked at them and then re-
marked: Eyes, it is a pretty stone; |

The grandfather of the present Lord
Rothschild made a ~ractice of employ
ing a certain cabby to drive him round
on his business calls, paying the nan
literally but not layishly. That gen.
tleman's son also occasionally en-
ployed the same driver, and he inyaria-
bly, gave a substantial gratuity in adj
dition to the fare. This difference
puzzled the eabman for a time, till
eventually he plucked up sufficient
courage to ask the elder Rothschild
to explain why his son always paid
more than he did. MY good man."

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Silverware is best frightened by
rubbing it with oatmeal.
For burns, equal parts of white OF
egg and olive oil will prevent blisters
if applied at once.
A tablespoonful of %turpentine boiled
with your white clothes will aid in
the whitening process.
Pipe tomatoes will remove ink and
other stains from white cloth; also
from the hands.
Clear boiling water will remove tea
stains and many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain and thus
prevent it spreading over the fabric.
Boiled starch is much improved by
the addition of a little sperm or a
little salt, or a little, gum arabic dis

To clean articles made of white
zephyr, put in flour of magnesia.

and hang in the open air a short time.
Rub tins, faucets and nickelware

| sene oil, then in whiting or ordinary

In baking bread with the dry heat
