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 it's home with the living oyster. In fact, 1t 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 home. but spends its 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 pickled. 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 parasite.

LONG FELT WANT.
A Plea For Graduated Standard of
 Misconduct.

A Plea For a Graduated Standard of
 Misconduct.
 What is really wanted at the present time is a standard of misconduct. We are constantly doing things in doubt, as if we hadn't right to do them
 The confusion caused by people do- ing things which in their circumstances cipal cause of our troubles. It ough' to be definitely settled, for example. that any millionaire who has. say. over a hundred millions will there after lead an honest life. If he has only fifty millions his life should be semi-honest. and if he has only a paltry ten millions then it ought to be con or so until he gets on his feet.
 Up to. say, ten thousand year no man can afford to be dishonest. He ought to get up in the cars and give his seat to women under thirty-five at least, and of course he will not take the chance of robbing any safe. From ten thousand up to hundred thou sand he can engage in little dishonest fiers by making one of pool or put ting through a land deal or so for variety.
 When he gets fifty millions or more together. however. every man ought to ask himself plainly the question whether from now on he ought not to be philanthropist. Doesn't he owe this to his fellow men?-Life.

THE FOREIGN LEGION.

A Peculiar Body of Fighters In the
 French Army.
 The French foreign legion is het- erogeneous organization. It is com- posed of disappointed men of every country political refugees, military fugitives. In fact, all varieties of the worlds restless citizens go to make up this wonderful mongrel fighting machine. "No questions asked' might man signing his bond of service sells his soul for five years at the wage of l sou (about i cent) per day.
 The officers are French, but the men hail from everywhere and nowhere. Under various names the French le- zion has existed since the eighteenth century and was finally constituted as at present in 1880. It consists of twelve battalions divided into two regiments. mastering a total strength of 12,O00 men. Eight thousand are kept in the far east, the remainder serving in northern Africa. In the early days the regiments were divided into "na- tional sections" men from the same country being kept together.
 This resulted, however, in continual racial disputes. and each company con- seGuently was given cosmopolitan composition. Since it's formation the officials have guarded closely against assertions, and as the legion only serves in French colonial territory where the centers are remote and transportation is difficult successful desertion is rare feat. = Chicago News

Scottish Caution.

Certainly the cautious Scot spirit pervaded the opinions of the Scottish architect who was called upon to erect building in England upon the long lease system. so common with Angli- can proprietors, but quite new to our friend. When he found the proposal was to build upon the tenure of 999 years he quietly suggested: Gould ye no mak' 1t thousand? Nine hundred and ninety-nine years I'll be slippin' awa'"
 But of all the cautious and careful answers we ever heard of was one given by a carpenter to an old lady in Glasgow, for whom he was working. and the anecdote is well authenticat- ed She had offered him a dram and asked him whether he would have it then or wait till his work was done. Indeed. mem." he said. there's been sic power O sudden deaths lately that I'll just talk it now."-"Reminis. cences of Dean Ramsay"

ETIQUETTE.
An Old Fashioned Man Frees His Mind
 About It's Absurdities.

About Its Absurdites.
 "Whether to eat fish with a fish knife and fork or a fork and a bit of bread. whether to serve champagne in a tumbler or goblet-it is quite ab- surd to regard one of these courses as right and the other as wrong and to admire or despise person according ly. The average rule of etiquette has nothing to do with courtesy. with good breeding, and it is no criterion of courtesy or of good breeding"
 The speaker, an old fashioned gen. tleman from the country, knotted the ends of his napkin more firmly about his neck.
 Smile at me. nephews and nieces," he resumed, because tuck my nap- kin under my chin. Yet why should I spoil my black broadcloth coat with turkey stains or smears of cranberry sauce? It is rule of etiquette, you say, that the napkin may only be placed across the knee-an absurd, ephemeral rule!
 'It was a rule of etiquette in France during the reign of 'Le Roi Soleil,' the great Louis XIV. that when the king visited sick subject the king, too, must lie down in bed, on the ground that it would never do for subject to maintain a more informal attitude than his master during the audience. Louis XIV, visiting the Marshal de Villars after Malplaquet, lay in bed beside the suffering soldier in that way.
 Behold the absurdities of etiquette and let me do with my napkin what I please" ."- New Orleans Times-Demo- cr6t

A Dickens Manuscript.

1T. F. Dickens, K. C.. tells an inter esting story concerning the original manuscript of his fathers famous Carol" The novelist presented the MS. to Thomas Milton, an old school fellow. In 1875 Mir. Milton sold it to Francis Harvey, bookseller, for f50. Then it passed into the hands of George Churchill, an enthusiastic au- tograph collector. MT. Churchill treas ured it until 1882, when circumstances compelled him to part with it. After photographing every page of it, it was sold to MT. Bennett, a Birmingham bookseller and curio dealer, who eventually found purchaser. who readily signed check for f200 for it. Finally it was bought by Stuart M. Samuel of Kensington Palace Gardens for f3OO, who is said to still retain the precious document.-London Tit-Bits.

CHOOSING A VOCATION.
Follow Common Sense and Conscience
 and Do Your Best.

ana Do Tour 6eSts
 It is very certain that no man is fit for everything. but it is almost as cer- 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 tendency and propensity to it.
 look upon common sense to be to the mind what conscience is to the heart-the faithful and constant moni- tor of what is right or wrong. And ! am convinced that no man commits either crime or folly but against the manifest and sensible representa- tions of the one or the other.
 Every man finds in himself. either from nature or education-for they are hard to distinguishes 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 culti. vate that vocation; he will succeed in it and be considera ble in one way at least, whereas if he departs from it he will at best be inconsiderable, proba- bly, ridiculous.-Lord Chesterfield.

 "Well," answered Uncle Ezra slowly as he thoughtfully studied the ceiling, q wouldn't go so fur as to call the old man liar. but do know it to be a fact that when feedin' time comes to get any response he has to have somebody else call his hogs fur him." -Woman's Home Companion.

THE TURTLES HEAD.

Chopped of, It Retains Life For a
 Number of Hours.
 On the counter, in porcelain dish, stood the severed head of a large tur- tie.
 That is rather grewsome," said a man who was buying oysters.
 The oyster opener glanced at the head carelessly.
 'It is bet" said he. 'T bet Gus Schmidt that the head would keep alive twenty-four hours. It's nearly twenty-five now since chopped 1t off. Gus is late. But win anyhow" he added,
 Where's my money? Pay me my money!' deep voice shouted at this moment. and a short man swaggered in.
 You've lost, Gus" said the oyster opener. 'arhere is still life in her."
 "There is-nit," said Gus Schmidt "Nix on the. life"
 And he extended a stumpy finger fearlessly toward the turtles mouth.
 "Geev'
 Startled, amazed, Gus Schmidt leap- ed back. For in the turtles open eyes a fierce light had dashed. the ugly mouth had opened and shut with a sharp snap. and the head in some strange way had advanced an inch or two toward the tempting finger. much as piece of steel advances toward a magnet.
 "Thfs may surprise you. Gus" said the oyster opener, wiping his wet hands in order to pocket his winnings. "But it don't surprise me none. I've seen turtle heads keep life in lem long er'n this here."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

What Counts In a Story.

As I heard a famous raconteur tell. ing story had heard in one form or another for many years I could not but recall the statement of some one to the effect that there are but five stories extant and that all we have are merely variations from the original five. As General Taylor, who is some thing of story teler himself, puts it.: '"The story doesn't amount to any thing. It's the edition that counts."- Boston Herald.

When 1t Came to Money He Had to
 Put on the Brakes.

The passengers in an accommodation train which was winding its way through New Hampshire were inter- ested and amused by an elderly couple who sat in the middle of the car.
 They talked as if there were no one else in the car Therefore. having heard most of their private plans, no one was surprised to have the old man take the assembled company fully into his confidence. At one station he rose and addressed the passengers in gen eral
 "Can anybody change a five dollar bill for two twos and a one or five ones?" he inquired.
 "I can," said brisk woman, and the transfer was quickly made.
 "Now. could anybody change this one dollar bill for four quarters or tens and fives?" asked the old man.
 T can give you two ffties." said a man from the rear seat, unless some body else can do better"
 It appeared that nobody could or at least nobody offered, so as the train started the old man lurched down the car to the possessor of the two fifty cent pieces.
 "Thank you." he said as he took the money. "Fm obliged. though I'd have liked the quarters best. You see, Mar thy has set her mind to stop off at Nashuy whilst l go on up to my broth er's with the eggs and truck And, though she don't plan nor mean to be a spendthrifty woman. when she's let loose amongst lot of stores she'll run through 30 cents in an hour easy, and I kind of have to put a curb on her."-Youth's Companion.
