CRABS IN FULL DRESS.
Some Species Are Fond Of Finery and
CIothe Themselves Carefully.

Many OF the crab species of shellfsh
clothe themselves. Some species dress
deliberately by taking small pieces of
different colored weeds and sticking
them OF the shell, so as to look like a
stone covered with weed. They spend
hours, with the utmost perseverance,
In making these pieces adhere. by try
ing the same piece owe and owe again
till they succeed. They have a fine
sense of symmetry and always put q
red piece on one limb to match the
red piece they have put on the other,
and q green piece to match 4 green
piece, though how they know red from
green In the dark pools where they
live Is hard TO say. unless 1t Is by
taste or smell. When once their dress
Is completed 1t improves the older 1t
becomes, as the weed actually grows
OF them.
Another species, with like habits and
a most decided love for finery. was de-
scribed at a meeting of the Linnaean
society, as clothing themselves with
bits of bright colored seaweed, sponges,
and so form. IL the crab be despoiled
OF its garments II at once proceeds to
clothe itself again with care md de-

selection OF its articles of apparel. but

Harry vardon and Eddie Ray, Eng
lands star golfers, were born on the
island of Jersey seven years apart,
vardon in 1870 and Ray in 1877; play
ed golf from the time they were mere
kids. but did not meet until both had
become professionals.
As boys they used homemade and
homely sticks, but they served their
purpose. Rays first club was fash
toned by his father. Vardon cut his

made a natural driver.
Ray worked as q caddy for n number
of years, his first position as a profess

Sandwich was Vardon, who had previ-

1896 and 1897.

BIG GUNS OF A CENTURY AGO
The Turks Used Cannon That Fired
Great Granite BowIders.

1t would scarcely appear feasible that
a shot weighing 500 pounds could have
been employed a century ago. yet the
Turks, who used the largest cannon In
Europe. actually used guns of such
caliber at hat time.
When Sir j. Duckworth passed the
Dardanelles to attack Constantinople
in 1907 his feet was dreadfully shat
tered by the immense shot thrown
from the batteries. The Royal George,
Of ITO guns. was nearly sunk by only
one shot. while another cut the main.

Golden Text, Ps. xvi, II.


In our lesson for the day we have
one Of the most interesting and fas-
cinating records In the Bible, the trans
lation to heaven without dying OF the
man who lay down under the juniper
tree and wanted to die. There will be
a generation of believers who will not
die, but be caught up, changed in a
moment, to meet the Lord in the air,
and, for aught we know, it may be the
generation now living q Cor. XIV, 5l-53;
/ Thess. iv, 1919. The last walk to-
gether of these two men. Elijah and
elisha, is %thrillingly suggestive. AS
they went from place to place Elijah's
"Tarry here, / pray thee" and Elisha's
reply, "As the Lord liveth and as thy
soul liveth l will not leave thee" re-
mind us of the devotion Of Ruth and of

tory and because one often hears the
remark:
"The government and the army may
be willing to continue a long drawn
out war, and they may be perfectly
able to do so from the point Of view
Of men and money, but what about the
women?"
The answer may be read above.
The women of France have themselves
under a sort Of self imposed discipline
no less rigid than that which the men
folks are subject to at the front. They
are part of the "union sacre' just as
much as the men, and they will see
the war through.
Government Helps the Women.
1t must be stated here that the gov
eminent is doing its share aiding the
army's women folk. Each wife gets
% cents a day and more il she has
young children. OF curse If the hus-
bands salary at the start of the war
was above a certain figure about 5000
a year, the wife is supposed not to
need this allotment. The French lady
quoted above gets no allowance, for
earning when he left to join the colors
only about $50 a month. She is COM
PEELED to live On her capital now, which,
thanks to years Of thrift, is ample to
see her through.
French effort for the past year has
been universal. 1t had to be if the
Germans were to be held in check, for
most Of the German preparedness,
backed by 100000 of people, fell on
France, with her democratic unpre-
paredness and her mere 100000.
And it was largely due to the women
of the and that the French nave been
able to accomplish so much against her
powerful enemy during the past twelve
months.
At the front and throughout the
army discipline Is very strict, largely.

that is why he did it. which is pre-
cisely the point. Prince of a mighty

Officers and Men Comrades.
This discipline is universal in France.
and being in France it is one of the
wonders of the war, for perhaps in no
other country does the individual de-
mand more personal freedom. This
does not preclude, however, a spirit of
~comradeship between officers and men,
for perhaps this exists In France to
a greater extent than I'm any other
army In the world. certainly more than
In the American army. Neither men
nor officers take advantage Of 1t, all
working for one thing, the defeat of
Germany.
Among civilians, and especially among
the women, there is the same spirit.

Select Seed Corn In Fold Before
Cutting.

| AZ this Vine of year while we arc
harvesting the Kentucky corn crop,
one which promises TO he a big one
we should not forget next year.
yrop. The seed should be selected
and properly stored and cared for
now in ordcr to insure a good Wig
orous stand next spring, Says d. $.
Myer, Of the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station.
The common method Of selection
has been to pick out the biggest and
best looking ears while huskinR,
cribbing or feeding corn or to so in
to crib in the spring and pick The
ears. This method has several OBJ
jections.
In the first place, we cannot tell
what an ear OF corn IL going TO
yield by looking at it. as il has been
proved that what we have considered
desirable Characteristic in show corn
has no direct effect OH yield Tue place
to select the seed corn is in the field
before cutting, so that we can not on
ly select the desirable type of ear that
suits our fancy, but we can select
from the desirable plant which pro-
duces the ear and which will give US
a better indication Of what the ear is
likely to produce.
The large, well formed ear select
ed from the crib may not yield as
much as a smaller ear selected from
the field because the large ear may
have had the best conditions for its
development. There may have been
only one stalk per hill instead OF
two or three, or it been on an espec-
tally fertile spot.
In selecting from the field. the Sc
lection should be made from the hill
that has the number of stalks desir-
ed per hill, from the stalks which are
vigorous and stand up well. Select
ears that are placed at the right
height on the stalk and ears which
mature al the same time.
The termination of corn is affected
more by slow, imperfect drying, es-
pecially il frozen before dry, than
any other factor. Particularly is
this true in a year like this when the
corn is sappy or has a high moisture
content. and when we have d wet
fall that retards maturity and dry
ing.
If the corn is to be husked or
in and pick the seed from the de-
sirable plants before frosts or freezes
come. If the corn is alread cut and |
in the shock, the seed should be TAX |
en- from that which is husked before |
winter, and stored in dry, well-ven-
tilated place to dry out
Regardless of the method of Sc !
lection, the seed should be dried out |
well by storing in racks or by hang |
ing it up so as to allow a free circu- |
latino of air around it. When corn
is dry, the freezes will not injure the |
termination but if it is sappy or CON
tains much moisture, the vitality OF |
the germ is often killed by freezing.
By selecting the seed in the fall |
and properly drying and storing,
strong even termination is assured
in the spring, but when corn is pick
ed from the crib in winter or spring
the termination is likely to be very
poor and the seed of low vitality.
