According to the latest edition OF
Websters Dictionary, one meaning Of
lobster" is "a gullible, awkward, bun
Cling or undesirable fellow" This
meaning is supposed by most persons
to he modern development of slang.
However, lobster" was fayorite term
of abuse among Englishmen of Queen
Elizabeths day, and Shakespeare may
have denounced his callbOy as n
lobster" when the boy failed to at
tend to his duties. Some students of
the word think it probably was applied
first to men with red faces. AS signi-
flying Il soldier the term lobster" is as
old as Cromwells day. Lord Claren-
den. historian of the civil war in Eng

the Roundhead cuirassiers because of
the bright iron shells with which they
were covered. Afterward British SOL

"lobSters." Then came another develop

The only case TO be tried this week
is the damage suit of John G. Zaner
against the =. q II. Railway com.
pany, which went to trial yesterday
afternoon, f. 5. Gearhart appearing
for the plaintiff and Simon Wolverton,
Jr., and W. II. Rhawn for the defend
ant
The case was outlined by +. 5.
Gearhart. On December H., 1909, be
tween the hours of and p. m. it is
alleged, John G. Zaner, who resides
near Washingtonville, was returning
home from Danville with an empty
hay wagon, to which were attached
two horses, one being "a valuable mare.
At "Cotner's ; siding" about midway
between Danville and Mausdale he
met south bound freight train. At
the latter point in rounding projec-
tion the wagon road and the railway
lie near each other. AS the train ap-
preached and Mr.. Zaner was at the
point nearest the railway, ii is alleged
that the crew needlessly sounded
the whistle, causing the locomotive 70
emit loud and sudden shrek, which
frightened Mr.. Zaner's mare. causing
her TO plunge violently. Mr.. Ianer
succeeded in quieting the animal, but
Immediately afterward she seemed i'll
and proceeding as far as Fenstermach-
eI's corner she had to be unhitched
and soon sfterward died. a post NOR

animal had ruptured an artery and
died from the effects.
The fist witness called was +. 5.
Miller, who testified as to the location
of Cotner's siding. its length, and the
lay of the ground around it.
John c. Zaner, the plaintiff, was the
next witness. The mare, he said, was
not afraid of the cars. When the train
approached the siding he observed two
men in the cab of the locomotive on
the side next to the team He observ-
ed a movement of the arms and sim
ultaneously there was a shrill and sud
den shrek of the whistle that caused
the mare to give three violent plunges.
While he was trying to control his
horses, he testified, he saw the men
on the locomotive laughing at him.
The mare was between l3 or ii years
Of age and witness testified that he
could have sold her for $3.50

PICKING HUSBANDS.
A Woman's Cynical View of the Ger
man Marriage Market


The men in Germany do not marry.
They are married. They are more or
less passive articles of sale, which
stand in rows in the matrimonial shop
window with their price labeled in
large letters in their buttonhole, wait
ing patiently for n purchaser. They
are perfectly willing. even eager, vic
tins. They want to be bought, but
their position does not allow them to
grasp the initiative. and they are
thankful when at last some one comes
along and declares herself capable and
willing to pay the price.
The girl and her mother, with their
purse in hand, pass the articles in re-
view and choose out the one which
best suits their means and fancy.
81 shall marry an officer" one girl
told me some time ago with the easy
confidence of person about to order
a new dress, and. 10 and behold be-

VINO Swore TO each other that they
would marry only Geniuses, and here
also they had their will. One married
a great painter. one poet and another
n famous diplomatist. That they were
all three peculiarly unhappy is not a
witness against the system. but a
proof that geniuses may occasionally
be very uncomfortable partners. In
this case the purchasers were rich and
popular and could therefore make their
choice. Others of lesser means would
have had to content themselves with
an officer, cavalry or infantry, accord
ing to the dot" or lawyer, or doc
tor, or a merchant. and so on down
the scale.-Afiss Wylie's My German

Ely Traps of Spiders, Nests.

Spiders nests are used in Mexico as
fly traps. During the rainy season the
villages are invaded by numbers of
flies and other insects. To rid house
of these pests the natives hang the
branch of tree bearing spiders nest
to nail in the ceiling. The surface
of the nest enlarges concentrically
after each capture of an insect, and it
exercises an irresistible attraction on
flies. When a spiders nest is opened
it is found to be filed with insects.
Experiments made with paper nests
so manufactured as to be exact copies
of the real nests show that flies will
not enter them. Though very small
and apparently insignificant. the in
habitant of the mosquero attacks in
sects far more important in size than
the largest househy. The wasp is one
of its favorite victims, and the wasp
always gets the worst of the struggle.
