THE CATCHING OF CRABS.
Some Facts About the Chesapoake Soft-Shell and His Captors--
 A Summer Industry.

The Chesapeake soft-shell crab Is 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 it's chief or best cultivated and most patronized habitat is the shallow and warm hooks, sounds and inlets of Chesapeake bay. Here 1t 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 a tiny cabin; manned by two or more men. Not less than 800 of these boats sail from the little village of Crisfeld, 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 orabbers a drag. It is drawn up frequently; empty but seldom. The take is from 200 crabs a day at the opening of the season to 1000 crabs a 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 are 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 she'll in day or two or he may wear it for month.

FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Still in Demand, But Not Sold to the Same Extent as
 Formerly.

Do we still sell the oldfash1oned fam fly Bible. with pages in 1t for the record of births. deaths and marriages? Oh, yes," said the bookseller, according to a New York exchange, but not so many of them as we once did.
 "There are more Bibles sold now, tak- ing them all together. than ever before, and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; but the demand for it in this particular form is now, l should say, not more than One-third what it once was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in dozen styles, ranging in price from five dollars to $20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 "In some of these Bibles there is a blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented, with the name of the giver; and in some of them is contained blank marriage ceF- tificate; and in some there are bound in with the pages for the record of births. deaths and marriages, pages for the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people. and 1t might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means: conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 50, while the old-time family record Bible. with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, has gone somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold to the extent to which it once was, yet it Is still sold, and the demand for 1t is still considerable"
