THE CATCHING OF CRABS.
Some Facts About the Chesapeake
Soft-Shell and His Captors—
A Summer Industry.
The Chesapeake soft-shell crab
is a delicacy and a luxury in every
market between the Atlantic and
Denver; and he grows more and
more popular as season follows
season.
The season of the soft-shell crab
is from the early days of May to
the late days of September, and
its chief or best cultivated and
! most patronized habitat is the
shallow and warm nooks, sounds
and inlets of Chesapeake bay.
Here it swarms like ants in a hill,
like bees in a posy garden, Mke
prairie dogs in a rodent town.
Jersey waters produce some crabs;
but the Chesapeake crabbers
supply the market; and they make
money by doing it.
The crabbing fleet numbers per
haps 1,500 boats — little crafts
they are, usually with a tiny cabin;
manned by two or more men. Not
less than 500 of these boats sail
from the little village of Crisfield,
Md., alone.
Tlia crabs are caught by trailing
along the bottom of the shallow
waters, through the sea grass and
sea weed, a light cage of iron, a
sort of skeleton and coop, called
by the crabbers a drag. It is
drawn up frequently; empty but
seldom. The take is from 200
crabs a day at the opening of the
season to 1,000 crabs a day in mid
season, to each boat worked by
twTo men.
The crabs are graded by size,
crated and shipped to market.
Hard-shell crabs are taken to
the “crab yard,” where they are
detained imprisoned in frames,
and examined daily to see if they
have shed their hard shells. Such
as have are taken out and packed
for transportation to market.
The captive may shed his shell in
a day or two or he may wear it
for a month.
NEW USE OF PHONOGRAPH.
British Cabinet Minister Dictates to
the Machine and the “Records”
Are Sent to Els Clerks.
Since his accession to cab
inet rank Mr. Graham Murray has
made a still greater use of the
phonograph for the conduct of his
! correspondence as secretary of
i state for Scotland than he did
during the period when he acted
as lord advocate in the same de
partment, says the London
Graphic. Some five or six dozen
“records” are now constantly in
use, and to these the minister dic
tates the replies to his numerous
letters, together with a mass of
other detail work connected with
the office over which he presides.
These are then forwarded to Lon
don, if he happens to be in Scot
land, and the contents are taken
down by his secretaries in White
hall. This done, the “records” are
scraped off and the cylinders are
once more ready for use. By keep
ing a phonograph both in London
and Scotland the secretary of
state, alone among his colleagues
in Mr. Balfour's reconstructed
cabinet, is able to give viva-voce
instructions to his department at
a distance of some hundreds of
miles.
Queer Speculation.
The sermon of a British vicar
charging great immorality in the
pottery towns in Staffordshire has
caused discussion of life in the
; potteries. A curious feature is
speculation on the lives of others.
The business of the insurance com
panies there is largely directed to
persuading people to insure the
lives of others as a speculation.
Wives are urged to insure their
husbands, and sons and daughters
to take out a policy on their
parents’ lives. For a penny a
week a girl insures her father for
£5. No medical examination is re
quired, and it is simply a gamble
on death. This was amusingly
shown by a recent case. A doctor
in one of the pottery towns was
reported to be dying of cancer.
The rumor was false, and the doc
tor, completely recovered of his
illness, was surprised to learn
that his charwoman had staked
twopence a week on his death.
Before and After.
During courtship a girl thinks
marriage is a haven of rest in
which she will be free from all
; worry and care. After marriage
she has another think coming.—

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The azale of the Kimball Plano ia the keystone of its unsurpassazle quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and must dans. Perfect
piano scale-making la a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reaJbed the goal,
Kimball is Prom inent.
> \ a| B&gH
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. Jfin
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do nor \
jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano ' ,
scale. The cost to prouuce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered.
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of alL
