THE SOLDIER CRAB.
Handicapped at Birth He Leads an
Easy Life Later.

This little fellow comes into the
world only half dressed, while his
cousins are all provided with full suits
of armor to protect them from their
Bnemies. His head and legs have a
hard, shelly covering. but the hinder
part of his body is soft and tender.
Dear me-" he cries, when he finds
himself alone on the beach. Il must
hustle round now and find some sort
of a covering for my poor, shivering
body. How neglectful my mother was
to leave me in this condition. Why,
there is my sister scampering along
with a snail shell on her back! What
a neat little house it makes. l wonder
how il would fit me?" And this bel
ligerent infant grabs hold of his un-
offending relative and tugs and pulls
till he succeeds in parting her and her
home. when he quickly thrusts his
own body into the shell and fastens 1t
with his claw hooks. Just my sizel"
he cries triumphantly.
AS he is creeping about on the sea
bottom with a number of other crabs,
suddenly dark shadow lalls on them.
"A fish, A fish," they cry. scampering
away in terror
MY turn may be next" says our
little friend to himself; Il must put
my wits to work to prevent such dis
aster." He remembers having heard
that fishes keep away from a sea ane-
mones. for fear of their sharp stings.
What a splendid planl" he cries. rat

You may regard this experiment
with some incredulity, says the Chi
cago Daily News. but you have only
to make it yourself and you will see
that it is always successful IL seems
hardly necessary to give the reason
for the apparent phenomenon. The
coin lies fiat against your palm and
the pressure Of the atmosphere holds

GARDEN TOOLS.
The Selection Of the Right Ones Of
Great Importance.

The selection Of garden tools avail
able for a man who wants to do
things right is now an extremely va
rled one. He may have as eompli-
Gated paraphernalia as the golf player
if he chooses. There are all KINDS OF
pushing and pulling hoes, and weed
ers, wheel hoes and horse tools. It Is
hardly practicable for any man to run
the whole gamut, even If expense is
no object to him. The fact is that
many of the tools are adapted only to
special crops or special soils. Still.
the up-to-date gardener will certain
ly provide himself with a consider
able number of these helps. and from
day to day he will employ that one
best adapted to do the task in hand
In the mere matter of hoes there
have been Improvements. AS a rule.
the blade Of the modern hoe is made
thinner and lighter than formerly. In
fact, one of the most conspicuous diff
ferences between those regions which
still practice a semi-ciyilized kind Of
agriculture and those in which the
most advanced ideas are held, is this
difference in the weight OF hoes.
Wherever one finds the big, clumsy,
eight-pound hoe in use. he may decide
at once that all forms OF agriculture
are still laboring in the depths OF ig-
norance and superstition. For garden
work. light hoe is especially desir-
able. Those forms with narrow blades
are usually better than those with
wide blades. In a few places one is
able TO buy hoes from which the up
per corners of the blades have been
cut away. leaving sharp angle at the
outer end of the blade. This is a great
convenience in hoeing small crops,
such as lettuce, beets. carrots, etc.
The sharp point at the corner of the
hoe is particularly convenient for get
ting in close about the small plants
and removing weeds from the rows
where the plants stand thickly to-
gether.
There are still some gardeners, and
many general farmers, who do not
know what a scuffie hoe is, says the
Country Gentleman. 1t is barely pos
sible that there are some farms on
which the scuffie hoe will be a super
fiuous tool. but 1t is hard to imagine
what the circumstances of those farms
would be. A scuffie hoe will work on
very stony or very trashy ground, but
everywhere else it will do good serv-
ice. For the best work the soil must
be smooth, level, free from stones and
grass, and in first-class condition. This
is the proper. and one might say the
ordinary, condition of garden land.
Wherever such crops as beets, man
gels, parsnips, carrots, onions and the
like, are grown in narrow rows, the
scufie hoe is a great labor-saver.
There are several different types OF
the scuffie hoe. but as rule the sim.
pie ones are better. A very popular
sort has toe or gauge running ahead
Of the knife-blade. BY this contriyance
one is able to gauge more accurately
the depth to which the blade cuts.
The same contrivance helps also in
steering the hoe and in giving it a
steady motion. Considerable practice
is required to do the best kind OF
work with this implement, but it is

Then she buys material for a waist
Her mother wants TO give il out TO a

she is going to make II herself. Her
mother fiutters anxiously around her
during the whole operation. imploring
her not to botch 1t. or to spoil the
material. Neither OF these things do
happen. and finally after a week of
hard work and racked nerves the waist
is successfully finished.
Her next venture is to the kitchen.
There she pores over the cook book

endless questions about the range and
the capacity OF the oven.
Then one day she turns out pie.
Extremely proud OF herself she places
II ostentatiously on the table in front

ror to hear mother call for the

She is not discouraged. however. but
resolves not to be so ambitious for
awhile. She keeps at It. in spite Of
many inevitable failures. until finally
father pronounces her the best cook
they have ever had.
At that she begs him to discharge
the cook, and to let her give up school
and do the cooking.
Her mother is naturally Mortified
and declares that it would be sin TO
take her from school. But father ST
lences her by saying that school
doesn't do women any good anyhow;
that Caesar won't help her to keep
house, and finally, that II his little
girl wants to stay at home and do the

With this event a new era In her
life begins. Little by little, the house
hold affairs are given over into her
hands entirely.
Her father says that he hopes she
will never marry, because he doesn't
know what he should do without her.
But he realizes that the chances for
the fulfllment Of his desire are very
slim indeed.
