MASTERS OF CARVING.
Our Ancestors Had Vocabulary We
Have Quite Forgotten

What do we moderns know about
carving? | say that | carve a pheasant
when | divide il into two more or less
equal portions. Not so our ancestors.
Carving is an art. Let me quote from
an old book on carving some of the
terms OF that art:
Remember that there were carving
masters In those days, professors of
the art. They were itinerants. They
did not keep school. They went from
house TO house and taught the ladies'
AS for their social position, have
not ascertained IT, Probably they
were classed with the itinerant por-
trait painter. Certainly they did not
sit at table with the gentlefok
fear that their place was the kitchen
and that Lady Mary took her lessons
In that room surrounded by the admir-
ing maids.
But the only thing she carved" was
mutton or beef. You had to break
deer rear a goose. lift a swan. sauce
a capon. spoil hen, frush a chicken,
Embrace a mallard, unlace a cony, dis
mount a heron, display a crane. dis
figure a peacock, unjoint bittern, IN
tack curlew, alaye a pheasant, wing
a partridge or a quail. mince a plover,
thigh a pigeon or any other small bird
and border a game pie"
And the acquisition OF these terms
was only the beginning OF knowledge

One of the Most Interesting Mem hers
of the Crab Family.
One OF the most interesting members
OF the crab family is the queer and
grotesque little ."fiddler' which lives
In burrows In the banks OF creeks and
estuaries back Of the beach. Into these
burrows the crab retires In autumn
and co9poses Itself for a long winter
sleep. The aSs siaifs Are then folded
down into sockets beneath the shell
and the large claw rests closed and
inert against the body, while the legs
are folded up until the entire animal
is snugly closed upon itself. and II re-
mains In this dormant condition until
the spring. Early in April the fiddlers
awaken and Immediately attend TO
clearing out their burrows The large
claw Is useless for eating. only the
small one being available for this pur
pose. 1t Is amusing TO see the dell
cacy with which this little claw feels
about and picks up the particles Of
vegetable matter and places them In
the mouth. while the eyes are all the
time raised aloft on their stalks and
apparently looking off into the dis
lance. d.. The female crabs have both
claws small and OF equal size. so they
are both used in feeding. and she can
satisfy her hunger just twice as easily
and quickly as the male. These fiddler
crabs also gather food and store 1t in
their burrows for future use-St
