BOATS GROW ON TREES.
West Indian Boys Can Get All of Them
They Want.

lney WANT
When a West Indian boy wants a
toy boat all he has to do is to visit
cocoanut tree. These trees bear great
punches of nuts among their dropping
green leaves. and when the bunch
first sprouts out in the form of a big
bud it is inclosed within a hard,
tough, woody case or spathe two or
three feet long, eight or ten inches
in diameter and tapering to point at
one end and to a slender stern at the
other. In fact, 1t looks very much
like huge wooden cigar.
AS the buds and flowers develop the
spathe splits open, and the flower
bunch continues to grow out beyond it
until the nuts begins to ripen. By this
time the spathes have become dry and
hard and break off and drop to the
ground of their own accord.
1t is the spathes or bud coverings
that the West Indian boys use for toy
boats, and. while the dry and fallen
ones VIII answer, better boats are
made from the more flexible and part
ly green spathes still clinging to the
flower stem.
The spathe as gathered from the tree
is almost in the shape Of a boat, and
all that is necessary to transform it to
a very seaworthy and fast sailing toy
canoe is to sew the open end together
and at rudder. sail and seats or
thwarts.
When this is done the boat is almost
an exact model Of the big dugout ca
noes that the boys fathers use in fish.
ing. In fact, these dugouts were prob.
ably copied from one of the tree grown
boats. - From "Harper's Book For

CURIOUS HERMIT CRABS.
They Keep Housemaids, and Also Use
Sponges For Protection.

They Keep Housemaids, and Also Use
sponges For Protection.
1t has been said that crabs are as
artful as IA barrow load Of monkeys"
and no one who has read Professor
Edward Steps "MesSmates; A Book of
Strange COmpanionships In Nature"
will deny that there is considerable
truth in the remark Amazing indeed
are some of the revelations which the
professor makes regarding crabs.
He relates. for instance. how the
common hermit crab actually keeps
housemaid to clean out his house.
When he first starts life this particu-
lar species of crab hunts for some large
shellfsh's shell in which he can live
at ease, rent free, He usually chooses
a large whelk shell and introduces
large seaworm, belonging to what is
known as the "nereis" family and
which grows to a length of six or
eight inches. to keep the interior of
the shell clean. The crab feeds hearth
y on sea creatures that wander care
lessly into the shell and throws the in.
dlgestible parts Of them about the
door. The nereis worm promptly con-
sumes these remains and keeps the
shell as clean as a new pin.
The artfulness of this crab, too, is
strikingly illustrated by the ingenious
manner in which he protects himself
against the large Dish which look upon
him as an excellent article of food.
Sometimes he induces a sponge to
grow on his shell Sponges in living
condition give out strong odor, which
is distinctly unpleasant to fish, and
even dogfish will not attack a crab
protected in this manner.

Naming Of Poughkespsie.
During the days when the Indians
still held sway on the banks Of the
Hudson there was a fierce battle be-
tween the Delaware and the Pequot
tribes. The former won, and among
their captives was handsome young
Pequot brave He was offered his life
II he would swear allegiance to the
Delawares and be branded with their
tribal mark-the turtle. He refused.
and preparations were then made to
kill him. AS his enemies were on the
point of doing this young Indian girl
broke into the circle and begged for
his life. She had at one time been
Pequot. but had been captured by the
Delawares and forced to Join their
tribe. Her appeals were so touching
that the warriors were debating the
matter whee the party was attacked
by still another enemy. the Huron In
dians. In the excitement the girl cut
her lovers bonds, but the two found
themselves in the midst of fierce bat
tie and eventually became separated.
The young warrior escaped, but the
girl was captured by Huron chief.
Determined to rescue her at any cost,
the Pequot brave disguised himself as
a medicine man and entered the camp
Of the Hurons. By some pretext he
gained admission to the tent where the
girl was kept prisoner, and late at
night they managed to escape in the
darkness. Their flight was soon dis
covered and pursuit began. but the
young couple reached the river far
enough in advance Of their pursuers to
embark in a canoe and push off from
shore. They were still followed, but

succeeded in getting his little craft
