INSECTS" IN OYSTERS
Crabs Caused Captain to Throw
Away Barrels Of the Finest.

BALTIMORE. Dec. 2T.-s some
months before Christmas the captain
OF q foreign ship which was In port
here was entertained layishly by some
OF his Baltimore friends. Among the
treats given him were raw oysters,
something he had never before en-.
Joyed. These were OF q navor and

The foreigner was delighted with
the oysters, and would eat nothing
else away from his ship while In the
city. This his friends soon found out,
and to further strengthen themselves
In his good graces. had several barrels
OF select oysters sent to his ship be
fore ~ sailed.
After the voyage across, the vessel
made n return trip TO Baltimore. ana
tho friends OF the skipper crowded
around him as soon as he landed the
other day and wanted 20 know how
he had enjoyed the bivalves.
Don't you know" he said, when he
was able to reply, "that we had 10
throw nearly all OF those oysters

Practically every one OF them had a
live insect on the inside. and We knew
they were not NJ TO eat, so We let the
Jones"
This news was disturbing to his
friends, who knew the oysters had
come from a reliable source, and there
could hardly be anything wrong with
them.
Further investigation showed that
the captain had found In many OF the
shells the little oystercrab, which are
a great delieacy, preferred by many
TO the oysters themselves. Any Mary.
land epicure knows that the presence
of the crab Is a sure sign OF the quail.
lily OF the bivalve.
The foreign captain was shown one
OF the crab oysters, and he said they
were Identical with those he had
thrown away. His friends then ex-
planned to him what the appearance
OF the crabs meant. but II was too
late, as he could only grieve over the
fact that he had destroyed many bar
rels or the very best oysters the
Chesapeake bay produces.
