At certain periods all crabs become too large for their shell covering and are obliged to move out; this is effected by a rupturing of the tissue connecting the upper and lower carapace. The body is first slipped out through this opening, and the crab slowly draws his ten legs out one after the other until the entire animal is free of the old shell. As the winter months approach, the edine or blue crabs (Cultureleus hostoma) restreat from the shallow waters of our toys, crabs and harbors, and congregate in one mouse numbers up deep water, where they as the themselves into the soft bottom preparatory to taking their long winter sleep. As the cold weather comes on they pass into a semi dormant condition till the opening of spring. These congregations of crabs are called by fishermen "crab beds." They are taken by means of clam rakes, the handles of which can be lengthened or extended into the water by the addition of sections of "spices." At the rate at which they are now being captured they will soon be as scarce as are lobsters, on our immediate coasts, which only a few years ago were so plentiful. The New Jersey fishermen are more advanced regarding the habits of crabs than any other fishermen that I have ever met, and from them I have obtained some very interesting information. The boats of all As the cold weather comes on they pass into a somedemand condition till the opening of spring. These congregations of crabs are called by fishermen "crawl bells." They are taken by means of clam rakes, the handles of which can be held them or extended into the water by the addition of sections or "spines." At the rate at which they are now being captured they will soon be as scarce as are lobsters on our immediate coasts, which only a few years ago were so plentiful. The New Jersey fishermen are more advanced regarding the habits of crabs than any other fishermen that I have ever met, and from them I have obtained some very interesting information. The boats of all well-to-do crabbers consist of flat bottomed boats or skills that can be pushed along in the shallowest of water or dragged over bars and mud banks with great ease. In length, these skills vary from 12 to 16 feet, and in width from three to four feet. They are furnished with four wells which are built on to the bottom of the boat, and are readily opened or closed by means of clovers. Into these wells a constant supply of water passes through numerous small perforations to the bottom of the wells. For urging the skiff along, the crabber uses the long shoulder handle of his "seap" or crab net. His position is always at the bow of the skiff, where he stands silent and erect and moves his boat quietly and slowly over the slab covered bottom, intently watching every object. We will now go on with the life history of a Jersey blue crab, and crab vernacular. First as the "hard shell" crab, which is hardly fit to eat, he being of a watery nature and anything but heavy and plump but soon, when he strikes a good feeding ground, he will become fat and will be called a "commer." A "shedder" is a crab that will cast his shell in a few days. Such a crab is quite as valuable as a soft crab, and is carefully placed in one of the wells of the skiff devoted to crabs of his development. Next is the "fister," or a crab that has broken away the tissue that connects the upper and lower carapace, so that the soft crab contained within has become plainly visible in its attempts to burst asunder its upper and lower shell. Such a crab is handled very tenderly, for by to-morrow morning he will be a soft crab and on his way to market. In from five to seven hours the soft crab has advanced to the stage known as a "buckler" or "leather-back" and "back ram-back." In this stage the soft crabs shell has become tough and of the consistency of thin leather or buckram—hence the name—so that when pressed with the finger it almost seems to crackle, and when the pressure is removed it immediately springs back to its natural position. The time-hardened crab looks spenitful, and the colors are intense and the imbies are clean and shining. In a few weeks this crab will undergo another change and begin a "sponge crab," her "apron" will begin to lift up, and fine strings of minute eggs will be extracted. These will be caught upon numerous curious brush-like appendages which are situated along the abdominal region of the crab and which are covered and protected by the "apron." Millions of these minute eggs will be crowded, parched, and entangled (the eggs are attached to one another on a very fine web-like material of the nature of tissues) on the curious appendages, and soon the dull, yellow colored eggs begin to turn black or very dark, dirty brown; this is a sign that the young crabs are about to emerge from their eggs, and the dark color of the eggs is caused by the development of their black eyes. When a crabber has fished through a tide, he returns to his marine farm, which consists of numerous water enclosures of wooden parachute to take their long winter's sleep. As the process approached the brine groom's door, there struck up a time, and fire cracklers were let off by the box until the brink was carried within the gate. The go between then got the key from the brine groom and opened the door of the brine chair. As tea brake angled she was sautéed by a small child at the side of the old man. The groom was closed within the house and she went in to seek him. She still wrote the enormous hat and mantle. When she found the groom he greeted her with great gravity. They both approached the ancestral table and bowed their heads three times. They next took seats at a small table bearing two gobblers tied together with thread and containing wine. The go-between severed the thread, but the hobble tailed to quench her thirst, owing to too enormous hat and mantle. The two new man and wife. The husband took the net and mantle from the bride, and for the first time in his life had a hook at her. After he had looked at her for a few minutes, he called in his friends and guests. They scrutinize her and make no mention of expressing their opinion concerning her claims. The female's give their tongues to sea peel and have no need on the poor bride. See took it all without making any disgraceable answer, for fear that the mouth would be regarded as an unackey one. I fear certain serious ended, she was introduced for mother's parents, after which she staited in own father and mother. Like wobbling feast was then served, the sexes eating in different apartments. The males were served by the bridegroom and his male relatives, and the females by the bride and her in their law, assisted by servants. The two sexes rarely sit at the same table. Marriage is very common among the Chinese. You hardly ever come across a girl of sixteen or eighteen who is not tired down to some man. If a woman commits adultery after marriage she is decapitated under the law. The man however, is allowed to keep as many concubines as he can support, their children being legitimate, but coming after the children of the wife. Some rich married men keep concubines in separate apartments. Such positions are eagerly sought by damsels of very fair parentage. Arago's Little Joke. One day at the Academy of Sciences they had a long tiresome session. Arago thought he would go out and take the air. At the foot of the starway there was a leather bowl, upon which the rays of the sun were hotly beating. Arago turned the bowl round, and rushing up stairs, told the distinguished assembler that he had just met with something that was very mysterious. "That leather bowl," he said, "at the foot of the stairway is cool upon the side which presents itself to the sun, but warm upon the other side." The scientists descended in a body and substantiated this assertion. They took the inclination of the sun, hour: minute, second, and vast array of other details. They made calculations, and several weeks afterwards each of them presented a paper explaining the phenomenon. Arago himself taking care to send in his explanation with the rest. There is no knowing how far the discussion might have gone had it not been for the doorkeeper, who having seen Arago turn the bowl, and prying the worthy gentlemen who were so much wooried; cleared away the mystery. These will be caught upon numerous curious brush-like appendages which are situated along the abdominal region of the crab and which are covered and protected by the "apron." Millions of these minute eggs will be crowded, parched, and entangled (the eggs are attached to one another on a very fine web-like material of the nature of lissus) on the curious appendages, and soon the dull, yellow-colored eggs begin to turn black or very dark, dirty brown; this is a sign that the young crabs are about to emerge from their eggs, and the dark color of the eggs is caused by the development of their black eyes. When a crabber has fished through a tide, he returns to his marine farm, which consists of numerous water enclosures of wooden stakes which are driven into the sandy bottom of the river, and where the crabs are all ways well covered with water. Here the "cummers" and hard crabs are continue, and are well fed on chopped-up bull-nose clams and winkles. As soon as the lusters become soft crabs, they are packed in shallow wooden boxes with eel grass or "salary," and placed in cool cellars to retard the hardening of the crab's shell, and until the time of shipment arrives. Hundreds of such establishments are to be found at this season of the year along the shores of the bays and rivers of the New Jersey.—Cor. Scientific American. Free of Cost.

I have been using ALLCOCK'S Porous Plasters for a number of years and always with marked benefit. I have been much troubled with Muscular Rheumatism; have been treated by five of our best physicians without receiving any relief whatever. I then used ALLCOCK'S PLASTER on the parts affected and I can assure you the pain has almost entirely left me. I can recommend them to every one as the best plaster made. I have tried other kinds but found them worthless. B. F. GALLAGHER. Weak Kidneys Cured. CONTOCOOK, N. H., March 3, 1880. I have been greatly troubled with Rheumatism and Weak Kidneys.
