OF this sort after the long and detailed
discussion this matter has received at

able event Of bad and costly fire in

tutions as these are safe. They are

Follow Common Sense and Conscience
and Do Your Best.
1t Is very certain that no man is at
for everything, but II is almost as GER
tain. too, that there is scarce any one
man who Is not fit for something,
which something nature plainly points
out to him by giving him n tendency
and propensity to 1t.
I look upon common sense to be to
the mind what conscience is to the
heart-the faithful and constant mont
tor Of what is right or wrong. And /
am convinced that no man commits
either a crime or folly but against
the manifest and sensible representa-
lions of the one or the other.
Every man finds In himself either

hard to distinguish peculiar bent
and disposition to some particular
character. and his struggling against
1t is the fruitless and endless labor Of
Sisyphus. Let him follow and Guilt

The Oyster Crab.

Some of the most remarkable crabs
In the world live at the expense of
other animals. They are crustacean
tramps and have no shame in sustain
ing existence at other animals cost.
One Of these marine tramps is little
fellow that makes its home with the
living oyster. In fact, II dwells In the
oysters shell and feeds on whatever
is left over from the mollusk's dinners.
Oddly enough, however. it is only the
female that has this habit OF board
ing out" The male crab has no per-
manent nome. but spends fits time
swimming about at the surface Of the
water. Oyster crabs sometimes are
big enough to have an arm stretch Of
an inch. Epicures consider them very
good to eat Sometimes they are cook
ed separately, and occasionally they
are picked. Crabs OF nearly allied spe-
cies. somewhat bigger. are found In
the shells of mussels and scallops. In
this case, again. only the female is a
parasite.
