Crabs Hard md Soft.

The process Of crabs shedding dur
ing the summer season is as follows:
The crabs become fat; then they as
sumo a blush look on the back and
yellow on underside. When in this
condition if an outer shell be broken
there will be found a skin similar to
the inner skin OF an egg covering the
crab. In this stage the crab is known
as a peeler The next stage is when the
outer shell begins to open, and the
crab is then known as a buster. When
the outer shell is stuffed, the crab is
then a soft crab. If she has escaped
from the cannibalistic male crabs, who
pursue her during this period, she lies
hidden in the grass in shoal water I'M
Ill the next tide, which harlens her
shell considerably, and the crab is call
ed a buckrum. Buckrums are the tough
crabs sold as soft crabs, and when
cooked the shell turns red, like that of
a lobster, and is cot desirable on ac-
count of it's brittleness. In another
tide the crabs become truly hard and
60 where they please without fear of
being devoured by the male members.

BuiIdinx a Houae.

In building a house every layer Of
brick is termed course" It is usual
to place in the walls upright and hori-
Zontal damp proof courses. These
ought to be composed of some sub
stance that water cannot penetrate In
this way the walls are mapped out in
to squares, and the accidental damping
Of any one square cannot affect the
others. Unfortunately. some builders
study economy unduly, and their damp
proof courses act as effectively as a
layer of wet sea sand. Those who in
tend having a house built should re-
gard the genuineness of the measures
adopted TO prevent damp as of the very
first importance.

Mad as a Halter.

The phrase mad as a halter" has no
reference to that respectable artist who
designs the crowning article of civil
lized male attire, but relates back to
the Anglo-Saxon word "atter' tan ad-
der, or viper. "Mad" was formerly
used as a synonym for violent or ven
omous and is still used in that sense in
some parts of England as well as in
this country. The phrase. therefore,
strictly means as "venomOus as vi
per-" the old form, mad as an after"
having been corrupted to mad as a
halter" "In that direction" the cat
said. waving its right paw round,
Lives a halter, and in that direction"
waving the other paw, Elves a March
hare. Visit either you like. They're
hnth mad"

WORKMEN ARE DESPERATE.
Starvation Prevails all Over Valley Of
ArduIusla.

Cadiz, Aug. 1.-THE famine, which
commenced last March, has now
reached the point of actual starvaJ
ton throughout the fertile valley of
Andalusia. The workmen are unable
to secure food. They are too weak
to work and are becoming desperate.
The children are living on fir cones
and the fruit of the wild cactus.
London. - The Daily Mails dis
patches with regard to the famine con-
ditions in Andulusia, Spain, state that
the Spanish government has entirely
failed to give relief and that as the
money grants are absolutely made
quate to meet the necessities, the re-
sources are completely exhausted.
Hunger riots are of daily occurrence,
and are becoming more and more
serious. Theft and pillage are COM
mon and it is impossible to maintain
order.
Reinforcements of the civil guards
are needed in every town and viii
lage.
Not drop of rain has fallen IN that
district since March, and the summer
and autumn crops will be ruined I'M
less rain falls soon or the government
releases the situation and takes steps
to remedy the conditions.

take the law in their own hands, and

ment is becoming daily more pro-

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Asso
ciated Press dispatch announcing the
decision of the plenipotentiaries at
Portsmouth to waive for the present
consideration of the article relating
to Sakhalin island. and to proceed
with discussion of points that Russia
is willing to accept as basis of nego
tiations, was received here with some
surprise and even relief.
M. White is known to have consid'
cred a rupture more than possible
The Russian correspondents on Mon
day night privately notified their pa
pers that negotiations might be eX
pected to be ended tomorrow, when
the Russian and Japanese ENJOYS
locked horns on the question of the
section of Sakhalin. The bourse also
was apprehensive and Russian i'm
perial tours, which were weak yester
day, fell off one-eighth.
The postponement of one of the two
points on which the fate of the con
ference hangs is considered good
sign. but not a sure one, and the gen
eral opinion remains one OF doubt
though pessimism is losing ground
as the days pass without a rupture
between the ENJOYS.

FRANCE VERY RETIcENT.
Takes Interest But Does Not Discuss
Negotiations.

Paris, Aug. 10. = Notwithstanding
official reticence regarding the exer-
else of mediatory influence for peace
by neutral powers 1t is the general
impression in we'll informed quarters
here that pressure is being brought
to bear both directly on the plenipo-
tentiaries and in Toxic and in st. Pet
ersburg and the rapidity of the nego-
tiations so far is looked upon as the
result of these influences.
Pessimistic advices emanating from
other capitals are regarded as unwar-
ranted, especially in financial circles,
where it is believed the Portsmouth
conference will be crowned with sue
cess. The remarkable firmness OF
Russian stacks and their tendency to
rise in value show the depth of this
feeling.
Discussion of he critical points con-
tanned in the Japan conditions is
awaited confidently, though naturally
some anxiety will exit until final ar
rangement shall have been an
nounced.
