Washington. Now Reveling in These
Denizens of the Chesapeake, Whose
Dainty Meat Is Served in Hun

but remains snugly in his mud hole unit
the warmth Of the sun has penetrated
the shell Of his claws and he knows thai
summer really has arrived. Then he and
the Missus crawl stif1y out of their caves
stretch their ten legs and go scuttline
on sideways in the search OF real food
and more comfortable quarters.
1t is then that they are most likely to
respond to the fisherman's tempting offer
of juicy, salted eel, tripe, or beaf. Seiz-
ing the morsel eagerly in his large claws,
the crab begins tearing on chunks and
showing them behind his bony jaws. So
eagerly does he engage In this first real
meal Of the season. that he fails to OBJ
serve the gentle flow of the waters and
the gradually increasing brightness OF
his surroundings. which mean that meal
and crab are being drawn slowly to the
surface by the willy fisherman. Suddenly,
unless the crab is startled by a moving
shadow or the day be so clear that he
can see the movement, the dip-net is
slipped under the unfortunate carabus

pure ether and deposited with ques-
tionable gentleness on the bottom of a
boat in company with a large number
of his scrambling, painting brethren.

A little later he is dropped into a large
barrel with a few dozen of his fellows
underneath and on top, and In this suffo-
eating state of confinement he is hurried
to his final destination. sudden surcease
of all sorrow in boiler Of sizzling hot
water.
Visitors to the shores Of the Chesapeake
find crab fishing pretty good sport. It
requires more dexterity and patience than
one would think to draw a willy carabus
within reach of the dip net, and the dip
ping process itself is one that the ANA
teur finds Unexpectedly difficult. After a
crab has been led to the surface Of the
water q few times. only to dodge the
stroke of the dip net at the last moment,
he begets a cunning little to be suspected
Of so braInless a creature. Crab fisher
men say they have drawn up monstrously
large crabs OF an apparently hoary age
who had become so accustomed TO the
process that they had learned to tear
most of the bait loose from the line and
slide OF with sidelong stroke to evade
the dip net, returning for another bait
after the first had been devoured.
In catching crabs IN the wholesale lots
the fishermen use the same method as
that Of the casual bayside visitor, except
that instead Of a single line each man
works what is called trot line. Two
stakes are driven into the bottom about
200 feet apart. A buoyed line is strung
between the stakes and attached to 1t at

No. III-To Europe In the Steern
by JAMES L. BAHRET.
Copyright 1911 by james l. Bahret.)

Copyright 1911 by james L. Bahret)
Twice in my life 1 have found occa-
sion to cross the Atlantic in the steerage.
After my first experience, 1 resolved
never to do 1t again, but on account OF
running short of funds on my second
tour of Europe, was compelled to do so.
NV first experience was on German
liner, and my second, on an American
liner. Conditions on the latter were
found incomparabIy superior to those on
the former and 1 have been informed
that the English liners also provide de-
cent steerage accommodations.
On most liners the difference In the
price of the steerage and the second
cabin accommodations Is from SIS to 80,
but the differences in accommodations
that I found on the German liner would
Justify an even greater difference in
price. On my first trip to Europe went
over in the steerage and returned In the
second cabin of the same steamer. The
second cabin passengers enjoyed every
comfort and convenience while those of
the steerage suffered every imaginable
discomfort and inconvenience. The fare
provided for the former was almost like
that of a millionaire, while the food OF
the steerage passengers was the plainest
and cheapest, and served under the most
disgusting conditions.
Throw Better Glass Together.
On arriving at the pier in order tc
make my first voyage. found the steer
age passengers waiting in a long line
ir order to have their tickets inspected.
/ happened to meet a clean-looking,
neatly dressed, and intelligent young
mana contrast in these respects to most
of my w-passengers-and we agreed
to chum together during the voyage,
and fortunately were assigned adjoining
berths in a room which contained only
four hunks. In assigning sleeping quar-
ters, the stewards evidently sought to
throw those who were clean and gentle
manly looking together The other two
occupants OF my bunkroom were entirely
unobtectionable
Before we left the pier. all classes Of
passengers were free 10 roam every
portunity to explore II thoroughly. The
steerage passengers were later confined
to their own quarters, and driven about
like cattle by the petty officers and
stewards who had charge Of them.
On practically all vessels. the eating
and sleeping quarters for the steeraRe
passengers are on the lowest deck which
has porth7les. These have to be kent
tightly closed while the ship Is at seq.
otherwise the waves would dash In. Not
withstandIng the fact that the steeraRe
quarters Of the vessel on which I made
my first voyage were fairly well ventf-
lated. disagreeable fishy odor was al
ways perceptible. probably coming from
the supply Of smoked herring which
served for our daily breakfast

The minister Of labor does not believe
that the legislators will modify the law
in accordance with Socialist aspirations.
The government will, however, AFFORD an
opportunity for a full discussion of the
Interpolation.
An unexpected effect Of the separation
bill is that priests can now be jurymen
Before the separation the state regarded
the clery as functionaries. They are now
simply citizens
The Abbe Barrue presented himself at
the Seine Assizes the other day to do
duty which so astonished the public
prosecutor that he hatly refused to ad-
NIT him.
The next day the advocate general ac-
knowledged that the abbe had q perfect
right to serve on the jury, and, for the
nrst time on record, a priest in his
cassock was seen sitting in the box.
