GENEROUS LITTLE CRABS.
Turn Over Their Claws to Fisher
men and Grow Other PRfps

Turn Over Their Claws to Fisher
men and Grow other Pairs.
Visitors in Seville see women carry
ing baskets full Of crabs claws. The
claws are cooked and people nIbble at
them, more for fun than for susten-
ance, just as the Russians nibble sum
flower seeds. But what is thus crusta-
cean? What becomes Of the rest OF
him, especially, If a crawfsh, Of his
tail?
AS a matter of fact the crawfish has
no part in the business. The carras-
quenas, as the claws are called, are
taken from a salt water crab, the gel
asimus tangeri, which lives along the
shores Of Morocco, Spain and Portu-
gal. Each little crab, with his one
little wife, has little cave for a home,
and, adopting the Arab estimate Of the
other sex, he usually keeps his wife
shut up inside the cave, meanwhile
staying about the threshold himself
and making brave show with his big
claws.
When the tide runs out the crabfsh-
ers prowl along the beach looking for
crab holes. Either the crab is stalk
Ing up and down seeking what he may
devour and thus showing whether he
has fine claws or he is still at home,
and the size of his doorway indicates
the size of the householder. In one
case the fisherman cuts off his retreat
by blocking his front door with mud.
In the other case he digs him out. Any
way, he deprives him Of his pincers
and sets him at liberty-to grow some
more.
Right here appears the happiest fea-
ture of the whole affair, for the pincers
are not torn away from the crab at
all. Instead he presents them to the
fisherman, perhaps even with his COM
pliments. 1t is a fact easily demon
strable that the crab can detach his
claw by a muscular effort, thus MAX
ing no hemOrrhage but leaving the
stump in such condition that a new
claw is soon grown. The fishermen
simply take Mr.. Crab by the hand,
whereupon he lets go, leaves the claw
with them and runs off home without
it. And as the claw is no longer of
any use to him or to anybody else in
the water, and as 1t Is salable and
edible, the fisherman naturally takes
1t home and sells it.-Le Temps.

Sir Nevil sprang from his lhaIS once
more. Look here, Carter" hC said.
Fortunately, you have removed my
desire to punch your head! But what
the deuce has all this got to do with
Paulipe's diamonds?"
ASK Miss Priscilla" I said quietly.
What on earth do you mean?" he
inquired, blankly.
The pendant is locked up in the
top left-hand drawer of her wardrobe"
l answered. "And, if you ask her,
she will go and fetch it."
rs this trIe?' demanded Sir Nevil,
fiercely.
Yes" she answered meekly, as she
went to the door, And in a few min
utes she came back carrying the dia-
mOnd ornament wrapped up in a piece
Of tissue paper.
Poor Aunt Prissy's fearful eXplana-
ton of how she took the pendant, in
sudden jealousy, to bring disgrace
upon her new sister-in-law, who, she
considered, was robbing her beloved
niece of her proper rights, was ex-
tremely pathetic; but Sir NeviPs chief
thought was naturally for his wife.
Can you ever forgive her, dearest?"
he asked, tenderly, taking her hand
in his.
And Sir Nevil always declares that
the deep affection that now exists be-
tween his sister and his wife dates
from the loss and recovery of Paul
ines pendant.-Modern Society

Thinkinq Ones Self to Death.

Jutuhlu9 Vic SCll " DSCItls
Thousands of persons actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
The idea that one has some Incl
pient disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting on in life without improving
prospects-any of these or thousand
similar thoughts may carry healthy
man to a premature grave. A melan-
choly thought that fixes itself upon
ones mind needs as much doctoring
as physical disease 1t needs to be
eradicated from the mind or it will
have just the same result as a ne
elected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid action and every nasging
worry should be resisted to the ut
most, and the patient should be pro-
tected by cheerful thoughts, of which
there is a bountiful store in every
ones possession. Bright companions
are cheaper than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition Of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body, and
if the disease does happen to be in
the system it receives every encour-
agement to develop. We need more

PEARY'S VOYAGE.
And What 1t Has Accomplished.

ana what IT has
In his article in Harper's Com
mander Peary gives an interesting
summary of just what his expedition
has accomplished and states his be.
lief that the reaching Of the Pole is
now comparatively simple.
1T seems proper, also, to note that
the result OF the last expedition of the
Peary Arctic Club has been to SIM
plify the attainment of the Pole SO
per cent; to accentuate the fact that
man and the Eskimo dog are the only
two mechanisms capable Of meeting
all the, various contingencies of SER
ious Arctic work, and that the Ameri
can route to the Pole and the methods
and equipment used remain the most
practical for attaining that object.
HAD the winter of 1906 been
normal season in the Arctic regions,
and not, as it was, a particularly open
one throughout the Northern HemiS
sphere, there is not a member of the
expedition who doubts that we would
have attained the Pole. And had !
known before leaving the land what
actual conditions were to the north
ward, as l know now, I could have SO
modified my route and my disposition
of sledges that we could have reached
the Pole even in spite Of the open sea-
son.
THE main results of the expedition
may be summarized as follows:
"First-The attainment Of the high
est North, leaving a distance Of but
ia nautical miles yet to be con-
quered this side Of the Pole, narrow
ing the unknown area between my
highest and Cagni's to less than 374
nautical miles, and throwing the. ma
jor remaining unknown Arctic area
into the region between the Pole and
Boring Strait.
fSecond-The determination of the
existence of q distant new land north
west of the northwestern part of Grant
Land, probably an island in the west
erly extension of the North American
archipelago.
''Third-The distinct widening of
our horizon as regards ice and other
conditions in the western half of the
central polar sea.
'Fourth-The traversing and define
alton of the unknown gap in the coast
line between Aldrich's furthest west in
1876 and Sverdrup's furthest north in
1902.
"Fifth-The determination of the
unique glacial fringe and fioeberg
nursery of the Grant Land coast.
Another expedition following my
steps and profting by my experience
not only can attain the Pole, but can
secure the other remaining principal
desiderata in the central Arctic Sea,
namely, line of deepIsea soundings
from the north shore of Grant Land
to the Pole and the delineation of the
unknown gap in the northeast coast
line of Greenland from Cape Morris
Jesup southwark to Cape Bismarck.
This can be accomplished by an eX-
petition absent for the same length
of time as the last one, and without a
greater expenditure"

BATHING THE BABY.
Here Is the Way a Man Would
Tackle the Problem.

Tackle the Problem
Many fathers stand aloof from the
common domestic duties, not because
they are SO busy or because they are
not willing, but because Of ignorance,
says Tom Mason in the Delineator.
How many men are there who would
not gladly drop their business at any
time and stay home and give the baby
his bath, if they only knew how!
Yet in reality it is much simpler than
it seems. Fill the bathtub full of any
good water, first carefully removing all
germs. Put your elbow In occasionally
to see if it Is the right temperature. If
ice forms on your elbow you may know
the water is too cold. If there are Bills
tiers on it is too warm. Be moderate
in all, things.
Take the baby firmly by both feet
and shake him loose from his flannel
moorings, until you begin to see safety
pins ahead. Then remove the safety
pins with gas nippers, and uuroll until
the baby looms into sight.
Now, having put on your rubber coat,
put one hand firmly under the baby's
chest and the other on his back, and
launch him on the still waters. When
he has kicked all the water out of the
bath tub, renew as before.
Be careful, while you are manipulate
Ing the baby, to keep him face down.
Otherwise, you would not be able to

FIOWerDOts.

All new f1Owertpots require to be
soaked in water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hang we'll to the sides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. Let
any one try to put plant with fresh
soil into a pot which has been used
before and left unwashed, and he will
find in a few days, when the soil begins
to dry, that it leaves a space and does
not adhere as it should to the sides Of
it. No plant can possibly flourish I'M
der such circumstances. The roots Of
a plant draw to the sides Of q pot nat
urally in search of moisture, and
growth of course is checked If a cur
rent of air is allowed to pass between
them and the sides. Some plants ex-
hibit this tendency in such q remark
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except a network on the outside
of the soil next the pot.
