THE WHITE CRAB.
one Of the Many Curious Creatures
that Come From Bermuda.

Remarkable are the white crabs
now at the Aquarium. not hong since
arrived from Bermuda. TrunArba, =
crabs they call them down there be-
cause Of the fancied resemblance OF
the upper part Of their body to the
top OF an old-fashioned round top
trunk, but purse crabs they might
more accurately be called from their
closer likeness in shape to that OF
a clazn-shen purse.
White in color mainly, the crab haa
across tie back brown markings chat
give it there the appearance of brown
veinod white marble. It's two big
claws are OF curious shape and very
broad at their tips. When the white
crab closes theaO two claws together
in front their broad tips nset AMI
the claws at in snn9ly to the body.
OF which they now almost seem TO be
a part, while the crabs smaller claws
when folded at up against the body
with like snugness. So when It's claws
are all held close the white crab pre-
sents a shape and outline not unlike
that Of big egg somewhat nattened.

SOME CURIOUS FOODS.

Reptile and Insect World Furnish
Nutriment to Various Peoples.
Mans gastronomic predictions do
not cease at beast and bird and fish.
The reptile and insect world contrib
ute their quota to his heterogeneous
table. The turtle is the cornerstone
of many a banquet, and it is not sur
prising that the land tortoise is used
as food wherever he is found. Liz
ards of all sorts and sizes are eaten
in Asia, Africa, America and Austria

gator but lizard of larger growth
In Egypt and along the great rivers
of other parts of America, South
America and southern Asia the I'M
calmly reptile is devoured with rel
ish. Europeans do not take kindly
to it as an article of food although
they try it out of curiosity.
One would think that the line
might we'll be drawn at snakes But
because of that evil reputation gained
Just after the dawn of creation the
reptile canot be allowed to shirk his
obligations. The Chinese utilize
snakes for sustenance and for medi-
cine, but they are kept in counte-
nance by the Indians of America, the
negroes of Africa, the Malaysians,
and the Japanese Coming nearer
home, the Italians favor a dish of
wiper jelly, and the late Frank Buck

knew no bounds, assured us that boa

Frogs are eaten from east to west,
from China to the United States.
The French were the first to serve
the frog up at table, but we Yankees
run them a close second. Snails,
Islimy and repulsive, are looked upon
with 1oathing by the average man,
but in France, Switzerland and the
south of Europe no sentimental re-
pugnance is allowed to weigh against
the undoubted nutritive qualities of
the land mollusk The snails are col
lected by women and children and
are then placed in enclosures to feed
upon selected vegetable food to inn
part to them the requisite flavor.
John the Baptist lived on locusts
and wild honey, and innumerable
people regale themselves on the same

chief eaters of locusts, a diet that

LIGHT BOND FIXED FOR LORD
SON OF CUTHBERT HOTEL KEEP
Err KILLED JOHN w. HARRIS.
Difficulty Started When the Elder
Lord Ordered Harris to Get
Out of the Hotel,

Difficulty Started When the Elder
Lord Ordered Harris to Get
Out of the Hotel.
In Cuthbert Tuesday night ]. F.
Lord, Jr., shot and killed John w.
Harris, a well-known citizen of the
town, the tragedy occurring about
3 o'clock in the Hotel Randolph, of
which young Lords father is the
manager.
The Cuthbert Leader, in it's ac-
count of the affair, says that John
w. Harris was seated at a table in
the hotel lobby playing cards with
some travelling men, when he was
approached by Rev. J. f. Lord, pro-
prletor of the hotel, and requested
not to play cards in there. Mr.. Lord
claims that he had asked Mr.. Harris
several times not to play cards in
the hotel. One report is that Mr..
Lord ordered him out of the hotel
1t seems that Mr.. Harris felt that
he had been insulted. He rose from
the table, and, it is said, grabbed Mr.
Lord in the collar, with drawn
| hnlIe IN the other hand.
At this juncture Mr.. J. f Lord,
Jr., secured a pistol out of a drawer
and threatened to shoot unless his
father was released. Harris then
turned Mr. Lord loose and advanced
on the son, in spite of the efforts
! of the bystanders to restrain him, so
it is said. Julian Lord retreated, and
when Harris rushed to him fired.
This did not stop the Infatuated man,
who continued to advance, according
to those present, when Lord shot the
second time.
One shot struck the chin, and the
other entered the collarbone. Har-
ris sank to the floor and expired in
a few minutes.
Under 81 200 Bond.
j. F. Lord, Jr., who is about 18
years of age, was arrested on a war
rant sworn out by Mr.. c. s. Harris,
brother of the dead man and the
mayor-elect of Cuthbert, and placed
in jail, where he remained until
Thursday morning, when he was
given committal trial before JUS
tice of the Peace R. M. Jones.

THE COUNTRY's GROWTH.
Shown in the Increase of Mail Matter
Handled Annually.


The growth of our country and the
increase in the volume of business
can be realized no better than by a
comparison of the number of pieces
of mail matter handled annually
The total for 1889 was 3,86O,2OO,-
900 pieces, including letters, postal
cards, newspapers, printed matter
and packages of every sort Twenty
years later the total was four times
as great and reached 13,173,340,329.
The advance has been remarkably
regular year after year and at the
rate of about 100 per cent. every five
years. In 1S47, the year when post
age stamps were first issued, the to-
tai number of pieces that passed
through the mails was 114,175,4S0
A considerable part of the increase
during the last 10 years has been due
to rural delivery Farmers are now
able to receive newspapers, letters
and other mail matter at their door
steps without leaving their plOws or
their harvest fields and driving into
town.
There are now nearly 10000 rural
delivery carriers who are paid $685.
100000 a year for carrying the let
ters and newspapers to the country
homes in the United States, and to-
gether they travelled last year more
than 100000 miles a day The
rural delivery service isnow Is years
old, and it has been the greatest sue
cess of any new idea that has been
introduced into the administration of
our government
