' ' - A few days ago a Woman, a recent "arrival from the, middle West, walked into a fish and poul- ,' try market run by J. A.

She had1 heard ; much 'conccrnlng-crustaceans," . and, anxious to test their quail- " ties, forthwith purchased one. At home she placed her pos- -'. session on a 'kitchen table an&ijt e looked It over curiously. , . Every vpoint seemingly was guarded by' ; eolid armor-like shell.
