How to Open Lobster.

1t is not difficult to open lobster.
First separate the tail from the main
part Of the lobster and shake out the
tomalley The tomaley. or liver. is
green after boiling and is liked by
some.
Next draw the body from the shell.
freeing 1t from the stomach. which is
situated near the head. by pressing
the meat near the head close against
the shell with the first and second fin
gers.
Now split the lobster through the
center and take out the meat. Cut the
underside OF the tail shell open with
a sharp knife or scissors and remove
the meat in one of two large pieces.
On taking out this meat look on the
upper part near where the tail Joined
the body proper and lift up the small
piece of flesh. Under will be found a
vein running the entire length. Re-
move this. Often this vein or cord Is
the same color as the meat itself.
Again 1t may be green. In any case,
it should not be eaten. Like the stom-
ach. II is not edible.
The easiest way to remove the meat
from the claws IL to crack the shell with
the broad side OF hammer. This does
not crush the meat-Philadelphi Tel

HOW TO CARE FOR BOOKS.

It is surprising how few OF the many
owners of books are aware OF the sim

have the advantage over more modern
ones, as most II not all OF the tanners
OF that earlier time used tanbark
Since that date the use OF sulphuric
and oIalic acids has been almost uni
versal. and so insidious are their eff
fects that they can hardly be realized
until the damage is done.
Old books brought from other coun
tries are apt to succumb very quickly
to the altered climatic conditions
Lack of moisture in the air, together
with our modern system of heating. as
well as gaslight, central heat and
electricity. has very injurious eff
feet upon them in a few years. The
use of lubricant or food is almost
essential to Offset this. A large i'm
porter has expressed a wish that every
imported book of value might be so
treated at once to fortify It In its new
environment. Even under the most
favorable conditions the need of some

Of drying out of the natural oil in the
skin and the total absorption OF such
oil where the tanning Is done with
acids have brought the conviction that
some means must be resorted to by
which the life Of the leather can be re-

from careless handling by ignorant
servants. The busting of books is
something which should be trusted to
careful or expert hands only, for the
hinges can easily be broken by drop.
ping or the corners knocked off, par

Overcrowding the shelves is another
cause of damage. 1t not only rubs the
