How to Open a Crab.
Ever eat crabs from the shell?
No..
Well, listen!
There is but one way, and any habitue
of the crabfest belt can tell you.
First you take the crab firmly in the
left hand. You then turn him white
side-up. On the under side OF the shell
you will notice a point OF shell appar-
emily growing close against the belly of
the crab. Grab it. Tear 1t loose. In so
doing you have opened the secret of the
way to eat a crab.
: With the shell broken by the medium
of the point on the belly OF the crusta-
cean you have simply started the search
for the succulent meat which lies within
the body of the animal. Breaking loose
the shell has started it. You then, with
quick jerk dislodge the real crab meat
from the outer or armor shell. Under
the shell there appear a series of dry
looking fingers like fragments of the
crab-meat These are the so-called
dead mems fingers" They are not

PENSION LAW DRAGS; w.
PRIEST is ON JURY
Socialist Leader Opposes Measure of Party-Bel-
gian System Favored Separation Bill Re-
suits in Court Innovation. -. ~.

Paris, June 10.-Though the pensions
law has not yet been put into operation
1t has many critics in the Chamber. Sew
eral Of these are determined to spare no
efforts to have thc law altered.
The pensions scheme was passed in the
interests of Socialists. But more than
one Socialist Ieader-M Jules Guesde
for one-does not like 1t. NJ. Guesde has
drawn up a ppoposal, which is agreed to
by sixty-six deputies, that the workmen's
contributions should be suppressed and
replaced by tax on inheritance.
An Interpolation to this effect Is to be
submitted to the minister of labor. 1t
viii be seen that the proposal is to re-
nounce the obligatory character of the
law and to favor the Belgian system;
liberty for the workman to claim the pen
sion, but compulsion for the employer
in aiding the workman by an annual
contribution.
In view of a coming debate on the
subject the minister of labor is collect
ing information likely to prove useful.
He has requested the projects through
out the country to furnish him with sta
tistics of the workmen who can benefit
from the law OF those who have regis
tered themselves for a pension. and Of
those who have refused to do SO.

SQUABBLE
OYER CORONATION
Brotherly Love Is Notable
by Its Absence.

London, June 10.-It is characteristic OF
the modern clergy that, while everybody
else is cooperating harmoniously to make
the coronation national festival, during
which all tomahawks, political or per-
sonal, are buried, ministers of the Church
of England are squabbling and there Is
great turmoil in religious circles.
The Bishop of Hereford, one of the
most liberal and open-minded prelates In
England, recently put forward sugges-
tion for allowing non-Conformists to at
tend a celebration of the holy commun-
ion during coronation week. 1t goes with
out saying that the fat was in the fire
at once.
All the petty little spitfres and nui-
sances OF that old, but somewhat moldy
institution, the Church of England. arose
and furiously denounced the reverend
gentleman, who in many ways reminds
one of the late Bishop Henry c. Potter,
of New York, for even daring to hint at
such a thing.
That the good bishop feels in any way
chastened by this tornado of abuse is not
considered.
Since he has been bishop he has been
the recipient Of so much "brotherly love"
from his fellow-workers IN the episcopacy
that he Is. no doubt, by this time quite
used TO taking vitriol with his meals.
But what a saddening spectacle for out
siders Is this un-Christianlike abuse of q
broad-minded prelate.

without milk or sugar. At $50 we had
cheese or canned beef with bread and
coffee. At noon we had soup, boiled beef,
potatoes as large as marbles boiled with
their skins on, and pudding. At 2:30 bread
and coffee were served again, and final
ly, at 6 p. m. baked beans or boiled rice
and coffee. From day to day there was
practically no variety in the fare Twice
day the steward called out, 'wasser

tunities to secure drink of water We
were all practically forced to become

eler In the steerage is recommended to

Strange Table Manners.
The rabble who constituted a majority
of my fellow-passengers thought the
steerage paradise. Almost never before
had they had such an abundance to eat
i saw some ludicrous sights while they
were dining. One man was seen holding
between his knees one end of a loaf of
bread several feet long and chewing on
the other end; another, eating oleomarga-
rfne out of the common dish with a
spoon, as one would eat ice cream; and
another drinking out of the spout of a
coffee kettle One day on deck saw
man sitting by himself on the floor and
eating from an eight-quart tin pan full Of
pudding, and he appeared to be having
the time OF his life. At another time I
saw man washing his feet in one of the
soup kettles
While not inclined to be seasick, I
round the table manners of some of my
teiiow-travelers nauseating. / hardly
knew how I would live through the eight
days OF the voyage amid such surround
ings, and the week seemed like a month.
During the entire voyage despair seized
me whenever meal time approached, and
gave way to happiness when the meal
was over. ate merely enough to drive
away the pangs of hunger, and generally
carried my rations up on deck to eat.
Every passenger had to climb UP two
flights OF stairs and wash his own dishes
in cold salt water, without soap, cloth, or
towel In order to save themselves this
trouble. l saw some In the dining-room
wEtrling their dishes rapidly through the
air in order to remove the particles of
food by the centrifugal force. We also
had nothing but salt water in which To
battle our hands and faces. and soap was
unknown
As airesdy indicated. the passengers in
the steerage were mostly European rab-
Bile. About one In eight was a clean. In

Tho second deck having portfolios is, on
practically all passenger vessels, devoted
to the staterooms of the first-class and
second-cIass passengers, and the third
deck, chiefly to the kitchens and dining
and drawing rooms Of these classes. On
this deck also, extending the entire length
OF the vessel, on both sides, is generally
found the promenade of the steerage pas
sengers. On the two vessels on which |
crossed in the steerage, Il was necessary
to climb two flights of steep iron stairs
in going from the steerage quarters to
the steerase promenade.
The double iron staircase terminated
below in a, large room which was used
as dining-room, and on which the
bunk-rooms opened. Nearly all the
space in the dining-room was occupied
by long tables and benches, built o.
rough pine boards, of the rudest work.
manship.- There was not trace of any
table linen. Each OF the bunk-rooms
contained from four to thirty berths.
The framework of the berths was of
iron, and each supplied with a rather
dirty mattress, a pillow, and a cheap
cotton blanket, but no bed linen. The
rules to be observed were posted up
everywhere, in several different Ian
guages. One of those in English read:
Smoking strongly prohibited"
There were four or five different sets
of steerage quarters of the kind de-
scribed, in as many different watertight
compartments of the ship. After board
ing the vessel, the steerage passengers
were divided into three classes, men
travelling alone, women travelling alone,
and families travelling together, and
these several classes were assigned to
sleeping and eating quarters in differ
ent compartments.
Passengers Their own Walters.
At meal time volunteers from among
the passengers had to carry pals Of soup,
pans Of boiled meat, kettles Of coffee, and
other vessels filled with food from the
steerage kitchen to the various dining
be at the stern end of the ship. while the
steerage kitchen was two flights up and
at the very bow of the vessel a round
trip Of 450 steps. Let the reader imagine
the pleasure Of having to carry large
bucket of steaming soup that distance,
with the ship constantly seesawing up
and down vertical distance OF from ten
Co twenty feet.
A stock Of hread, replenished each
morning. was stored on shelves suspended
from the dining-room ceiling, and large
tin pans fun Of oleomargarine were al
ways standing on the dining-room tables
from the beginning 10 the end OF the
voyage. Every day the steward would
distribute to the passengers slices OF
cheese or Of canned corn beef. laying
them down on the dirty mattresses or de-
posting them in any dirty dish he hap
pened to come across

and about three pints of cold water.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for
several hours or until the meat is tender
and the tomatoes well blended in the
soup. Season with salt to taste. This
soup is good eaten with boiled rice.
Crabs and Bacon-Take one quart crab
meat, having It in large white fakes, and
put It in a porcelain saucepan with two
tablespoonsful of butter. Season with salt

with them. Every day they would clothe
themselves in long black robes and a
peculiar head covering and read their
prayers.
How the Time Was Spent.
Except while eating and sleeping, the
steerage passengers spent the entire day
and evening out on deck, since to remain
below was almost intolerable. No benches
or chairs were provided, SO that through
out the length of the vessel, on each side,
there was always to be seen a row of
people sitting or lying on the floor Some
of the women with families would do
their weeks washing in salt water and
hang the clothes out on deck to dry. On
Sunday divine service was held for the
first and second class passengers, but the
people in the steerage were not invited
During the evening while the passen-
gers were Iounging on deck the behavior
OF some of them and of some of the MEM
bers of the crew who frequented the
steerage deck was not above reproach.
Being strangers together, some of our
number did not care what opinion the
others formed about them. Nearly every
evening one of the sailors played an ac-
Gordon and the sailors and some of the
young women would dance together. A
group of us young men would pass part
of the evening in singing, and some of the
young women would likewise gather into
a group and sing. have never been in a
more jovial crowd than were we of the
better class of steerage passengers, even
If we were putting up with almost intoI-
cradle conditions.
Different Steerage Travelling.
On my second voyage in the steerage,
on another line of steamers, conditions
were irnmeasurably better. Although this
was a westward voyage from Southamp-
ton to New York. calling at Cherbourg
the passengers were of a much better type
than those on my eastward voyage. I
have been told that steamers sailing to
and from Great Britain carry a far more
desirable class of steerage passengers
than those sailing to and from the con-
tinent of Europe. Those sailing to Medi-
terranean ports should by all means be
avoided by any prospective steerage trav-
eler.
ON the American liner which The writer
pafronized, although the rates were the
same as on the German liner, clean beds
and bed linen were provided, and clean

washing our hands and faces and no bad
odor rendered the quarters disagreeable.

edible. You remove them and then with
snap you break the crab in two. The
delicious snow-white meat and the gold
en- fat are yours to enjoy. The claws,
too, contain a delicious meat. The only
way TO enjoy the claws is to crack
them, open with a club. The meat is de-
licious. The method of obtaining 1t Is
barbarous, but the crab was never in
tended to be eaten by anybody but a
convinced barbarian with the tastes of an
epicure.
This is the way to eat the common or
hardshell variety OF crab. What to do
with crab when you want to eat him
in the company Of your equals or your
betters is a question for the epicure and
the bon-vivants to decide. The following
are few Of the ways to prepare the
liking of the Chesapeake for the tables
of the people who are either too rich
or too proud to enjoy crab "au naturel."
Some Fine Recipes.

And, in particular, do a little extrt

for, taking him by and large-and he'i

toothsome than the hal1y white meat OF
your typical Chesapeake Carabus Can
Ger.
This, at least. seems to be the opinion
of a vast number of Washington's con-
servative citizens, judging by the num-
Der Of barrels of live crabs and ice-packed
cans OF picked crab meat that are ship
ped daily into this city from various
points on the shore of the bay. Since
the first Of this month. when the real
crab season opened, these shipments have
been pouring into the city in allotments
varying from twenty barrels to 200 bar
rels q day. The bulk of the crabs go 70
the several markets making a speciality
of sea food, but the big hotels and a
number of summer gardens order their
crabs shipped direct from the various
crab fisheries.
From now until the end of August crab
meat will be the chief delicacy in all the
principal restaurants and hotels in this
section Of the country. Everyt one knows
that these summer months the ones in
which he or she may indulge a passion
for crab meat with the least possible
chance of risking an encounter with the
painful, If not deadly, ptomaine germs.
There is no excuse at this time of year
, for the Boniface who allows a somewhat
too dead crab to be served a guest, and
one may go into any frst-class estab-
nshment and order his crab meat in any
style with practically no fear Of unpleas-
ant developments.
Retire for Winter.
Not every one knows, perhaps, just why
it is that crabs have their open and
closed season. The reason is a simple
one. When the first chill OF fall begins
to strike through the shallow waters Of
the hay, Mr.. and Mrs. Crab pick them
selves out a nice site on some deep bot
tom nud-hat and build their winter
quarters. That is to say, they dig neat
excavation in the mud, crawl into II
backward, and with nothing but their
eyes, mouth, and big claws sticIxing out
prepare to while away the long winter
months with a patience both sublime
and subslfme. The lazy man OF the fable
who was found lying under a tree with
his mouth open waiting for a peach to
drop onto 1t had nothing on Mr.. Crab in
his winter quarters, for II is only when
a swirl in the tide brings some succuient
rnorsel within reach Of his waving front
claws that he succeeus m replenishing
the inner crab.
Mr.. Crab doesn't even come out for
reconnoitering expedition like Brother
Hedgehog, in the early days Of spring,
