to board a St. Johns car nt Failing
street on Union nvciine baturdny
and wns instantly killed by falling
under the trailer. Mr. Devroe evi
dently thought to save n minute

of fatalities caused by this practice
that it is not n safe proposition to

"I'll take tho bet," said tho I'hlladc)

"Charge ono tumblor up on tho bill,"

The lobsters have wouderful coats of

human warriors in tho age of chiv

Jointed structure. Tne manner In
which crabs when at rest tuck their
legs beneath tbera so as to bring them
under the abetter of the bard carapace
is Interesting. The crab is doubly pro
