Hungry Holsters in their natural
state seldom refuse fish of any kind,
whether dead or alive. The favorite
bait with fishermen is fresh or stale
herring, but even shark meat is used
at pinch. HOLSTERS also eat small
crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In
deed, there are few forms of marine
life suitable for food which they re-
fuse. HOLSTERS sometimes capture fish
alive, striking them with the smaller
of their two great claws, which for
this reason fishermen call the "duick"
or fish claw, but they will live for a
long time, especially when confined
without taking any food. If you tether
the lobster by the large claws, you will
find that, like the muskrat, he VIII go

legs in the trap, for this animal has
the remarkable power of shooting a
claw" or amputating its limbs, and,
what is still more wonderful, of grow
ing new ones from the stumps left be-
hind.-St. Nicholas.

SALT LAKE AND
STATE NEWS
DRUMS THE FIFES
FOR THE CONVENTION
Men Who Played Regiments Into
Battle During Civil War Are
Coming.

Salt Lake. Jan. 2S.-News. To go
into battle accompanied by the shriIl
cry of the fife and the deep roll OF
the war drum is privilege that no
soldier will ever enjoy again, for the
army drummer has gone the way of
massed battalion fighting, and close
formation charges.
But on the streets of Salt Lake the
citizens will see during the coming
Grand Army encampment over 200 OF
these old drummers and flfers of the
Civil war They will bring their in
strumentS with them. and Will play
again the tunes that lightened the way
of the wartime marches, and stirred
the blood of Union soldiers on the days
OF battle
The musicians of the war are sep
arate organization to the Grand Army,
and they turn out at each encamp-
ment under their own leaders. The
secretary of their organization has just
written Colonel F. NJ Sterrett con-
corning their plans to come here, and
their needs while on the ground. They
have been always a leading feature
Of the encampment and Colonel
Sterrett declares that when they head
their division down the streets or
Salt Lake they will provoke more ap-
plause than any other feature of the
encampment.
Drummers and fifers have disap-
peared from the army since Civil wa
days except when part of the regu-
lar regiment band. With new long
range rifles fighting has been aba1-
doned In mass formation which would
become too good target for machine
guns. and the drummers have been
eliminated, since they would too close
ly indicate the range for an enemy
through their noise
In the war with Spain one regimen
tai band almost qualified in the role
of the old time drummers and fifers.
This was the band of the Colorado in
fantry which rushed forward up the
Malate beach with Its regiment In the
charge on Manila, playing as Its mem
bers logged along, 'There1l Be a Hot
Time In the Old Town Tonight"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces'
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
or strength than other makes.

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures Of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
