CURIOUS HERMIT CRABS.
They Keep Housemaids, and Also U.s.
SPonees For Protection.

OPOuScS FFOAcNtiOH.
II has been said that crabs are as
srtful 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
cominon hermit crab actually keeps a
honsemaid to clean out his house
when he first starts life this partlcu-
ar species of crab hunts for some large
ShellHshs shell in which he can live
nj ease rent free. He usually chooses
Il large whelk shell and introduces n
large SpawOru. belonging TO what is
known as the "nercls" family and
which grows to length of six or
eight inches, 10 keep the interior OF
the shell clean. The crab feeds hearth
IS on sea creatures that wander care
le'sly into che shell ana throws the in
iigeStihle parts OF them about the
door. The nereis worm promptly con
>umes these remains and keeps the
shell as clean us Il new pin.
The artculness of this crab, too. is
strikingy Illustrated by the ingenious
MANNER IN which he protects himself
against the large fish which look upon
hin as IN excellent article of food
Sometimes he induces sponge TO
grow on his shell Sponges in living
condition give out strong odor which
Is distinctly unpleasant TO fish. and

PLANS DISCUSSED
Dean NJ. \. Brannon Gives His Views
ON How to Bcautify the Home
and City.

Dean NJ. a. Brannon delivered a
very interesting lecture last night at
the high school auditorium on mature
as a decorator and the DEVELOPMENT
OF the school garden idea.
Every home should he surrounded
by a beautiful and artistic yard. AL
most all appreciate this fact, and it
will not bear argument, but there is
considerable divergence of opinion as
to what can he done to make the yard
beautiful
The one most important feature in
planting operations is harmony. This
is the keynote of all beautiful scenes.
1t does not mean that one may not
employ contrasting colors and forms.
but that these features give a pleas
ing general effect.
If the house is of any particular
architectural style. let the shape Of
the walks. roadway, flower beds.
shrubs and trees be of such a charac-
ter as to carry out the lines and spirit
of the house as far as possible. The
formal house should be surrounded
by natural things of geometrical pat
terns-square corners. formal shaped
shrubs. straight walks. etc, rather
than the graceful forms. The bunga-
low and the less imposing and rigid
type of building must he treated in
decidedly different manner. as lts
lines are more on the graceful and
beautiful order. and the lines Of the
surrounding grounds should carry out
the same idea. Curved lines, even OF
"a rather indefinite character, may be
used to advantage. Flowing shapes in
the trees and shrubs, profuse vines.
beds and banks of wild flowers and re-
lated subjects should be adhered to
largely.
The first care is to join the house
to the ground in a natural and arts
tic manner The color of the house
has a good deal to do with this. and
the rest can be accomplished by a
judicious use of flower beds, vines or
shrubs near the house.
Children should be urged to take
as much interest as possible in gar
dening to the end that they will al
ways have the beautifying OF the city
in mind.
