QUEER CRABS.
The Ingenious Manner In Which They
Disguise Themselves,

The Ingenious Manner In Which They
Disguise Themselves,
Some species of crabs disguise them
selves In an ingenious manner They
deliberately bite up seaweeds and
plant them on their backs, very soon
establishing n growth which harmo-
nizes perfectly with the surroundings
and deceives many an enemy. Should
the weeds grow too vigorously the
crab industriously prunes them with
his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot OF and starts a
fresh garden on his roof, so to speak.
The sponge crab behaves in SINH
lar manner, nipping or little bits Of
living sponge and sticking them on his
back, where they grow vigorously.
The same end is served as in the other
case. 1t is very amusing to keep crabs
of one or other of these kinds in an
aquarium and deprive them Of the
usual means of concealment
They get very nervous and agitated
and try to cover themselves with bits
of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said
to have had q little greatcoat made
for him. which he put on in a hurry
as soon as 1t was handed to him.

OLD TIME PRICES.
Glimpse Of the Days When Living Was
Cheap In ENGLAND.

Glimpse Of the Days When Living Was
Cheap In England.
Old time hotel rates In England were
low. For instance, in the days Of
Queen Elizabeth the charge at the
George inn for feather bed per
night was penny, Dinner cost six
pence (12 cents and offered choice Of
beef, mutton or pigge or fish" In
Stuart times each room owned a name
instead OF a number, chiefly those Of
inn signs, such as the Cross Keys
room. the Bell chamber, the Adam and
Eve room, and so forth. 4
Formerly the custom In important
cities during festival times was to lim-
1t the price of food and lodging by
statute. In Canterbury during the Gel
ebration Of the bicentenary Of Becket's
translation 1372) the price Of bread
was fixed at two loaves for penny
e cents). a fairly high figure consid-
ering the comparative valugAf money
then and now. and wine brought 16
cents gallon.
A century or so later the scale Of
prices in Edinburgh all the year round
was equally moderate, sheep being sold
at prices ranging from II cents to 20
cents, according to quality, chest hens
at cent each, and Rochelle wine at /
cent pint. Any vender departing
from these prices ran the risk Of for
feiture of his goods. Chicago News.

and discovered that he was badly

reporters, returned TO his bed and slept
Soundly until morning 1t was said
by those present that he evinced not
the slightest sign Of disappointment.
Mr.. Bryan did not seek the nomina-

doctrine. When the orator closed with
his epoch making metaphor of the

sentiments and of the man himself

Flashed to the remoteSt reaches Of
