TIE CATCHING OF CRABS.
Some Facts About the Chesapeake Sft-Shell and His Captors-
 A Summer Industry.

The Chesapeake soft-shell crab is d delicacy and a luxury in every market between the Atlantic and Denver; and he grows more and more popular as season follows season.
 The season of the soft-shell crab is from the early days of May to the late days of September, and its chief or best cultivated and most patronized habitat is the shallow and warm hooks, sounds and inlets of Chesapeake bay. Here it swarms like ants in a hill, like bees in a posy garden, like prairie dogs in a rodent town. Jersey waters produce some crabs :; but the Chesapeake crabbers supply the market; and they make money by doing it.
 The grabbing fleet numbers per. haps 1,50O boats - little crafts they are, usually with tiny cabin manned by two or more men. Not less than 800 of these boats sail from the little village of Crisfield, Md, alone.
 The crabs are caught by trailing along the bottom of the shallow waters, through the sea grass and sea weed, light cage of iron, a sort of skeleton and coop, called by the crabbers a drag. It is drawn up frequently; empty but seldom. The take is from 200 crabs day at the opening of the season to 1000 crabs day in mid season, to each boat worked by two men.
 The crabs are graded by size, crated and shipped to market.
 Hard-shell crabs are taken to the "crab yard" where they arc detained imprisoned in frames, and examined daily to see if they have shed their hard shells. Such as have are taken out and packed for transportation to market. The captive may shed his shell in a day or two or he may wear 1t for a month.

TAX THE "DRUMMER" PAYS
A Considerable Item in Commercial Travellers Expense Account in
 Most European Countries.

Three or four drummers, says Comfort, had engaged in a warm discussion over the bane of the drummer's existence on the road, the "drummer's tax"-not so bad as it used to be, however, when small towns all over the country levied tribute on every travelling man who visited them.
 "By love-" said a man from a New York silk firm, "you ought to try it over on the other side. What they do here isn't to be spoken of in comparison. Here it is merely a small local matter. Over there it is national. Atleast it is for any of us who come from foreign countries. In Denmark, for instance, there is an annual tax of $42.SS if man represents one house and half that for each other house represented. In Nor way you have to have a trade pass good for 30 days, costing $26.8O. France is easier and you don't have anything hut a business passport, which costs no more than you want to pay. In Hol- land you have to have an indus. trial tax receipt, which costs six dollars. In Sweden the price is the same as in Norway, $26.80, and if you try to get out of it you will catch fine of from the price of the trade pass up to $1S4, and they are strict about it, too.
 ''In Austria you have only to show a proper trade license and in Switzerland a business pass. port. They don't cost any more than you want to give up to the chaps who let you have them. Tn Russia the price is $25.75 as trade tax and $5.l5 extra as communal tax. And if you are a Jew you don't want to go to Russia to sell goods. You may be all right, but Russia doesn't like that kind and shows it by pushing the drummer tax on Jews up to $275.5O, be. sides the communal tax of $5.15. England's the place, though, where you want to go. That's the great free trade land and you can go anywhere and everywhere and self to anybody and everybody and never pay a penny. They are so free over there that, by love, you almost feel like asking the coun. try to pay you few hundred a year just because you are there"

NEW USE OF MONOGRAPH. British Cabinet Minister Dictates to the Machine and the Records"
 Are Sent to His Clerks.

Since his accession to cab. met rank Mir. Graham Murray has made a still greater use of the photograph for the conduct of his correspondence as secretary of state for Scotland than he did during the period when he acted as lord advocate in the same de- partment, says the London Graphic. Some five or six dozen "records" are now constantly in use, and to these the minister die tates the replies to his numerous letters, together with a mass of other detail work connected with the office over which he presides. These are then forwarded to Lon don, if he happens to be in Scot land, and the contents are taken down by his secretaries in White hall. This done, the "records" are scraped of and the cylinders are once more ready for use. By keep ing a photograph both in London and Scotland the secretary of state, alone among his colleagues in MT. Balfour's reconstructed cabinet, is able to give viva-voce instructions to his department al a distance of some hundreds o1 miles,

bull ran himself to death in fright at
this sudden attachment to his caudal
appendage.
It was at this juncture that limo
gene Ingelfritz was bundled off to
boarding school, while Hans, with
grief In his heart, was set at work as
an understudy to a garbage collector
in the Ninety-seventh ward.
AT the close of tedious week OF
travail and trouble, Hans was discard
ing his last load at the city dump.
when in the quasi-darkness of the
eventide, there suddenly burst from
the heap at his feet a dazzling light.
So great was the Illumination that the
shadows about the dump were entire

could be seen the Widow Flanahan's

at his feetl
Horrors! He could see the very
bones through his great thick calf

But Hans was no coward, and grab

it in garbage can and dashed his

store.
AS he appeared on the boulevard

of people, noting the fireworks, gath
