Let the Express not lay the flattering unction to its soul that it can "draw this paper out" on any subject which it does not wish to discuss. But having started in to advocate a measure, that power does not exist which can put on the thumb-screws. This cannot le said of the Express. After the last spring election the Express placed at the head of its editorial column the legend, "Enforce the law," kept it standing for a few days and hauled it down, and it has remained down. Enforce the law means the eleven o'clock and .Sunday closing iaw ami the one against gambling. The Express has made no fight for this and it will not make any. Tn« News hits had no practical evidence that the saloon keepers consider it their friend, quite the contrary, We do not pose as the liquor dealer's friend or enemy. We simply take the position that as the Legislature has considered it for the good of the community to regulate the sale of liquor by certain laws, these laws should Ik* enforced. If they are unjust let them be repealed. Saloon keepers have no more right to defy the law than have persons engaged in any utlier business. Merchants, grocers, butchers, peddlers, all are restricted by certain statutes. Liquor sellers are entitled to no immunity. They must obey the law and if they refuse to do this then the officers wha arc appointed fnr this purpose must take the necessary steps to have the law enforced

Mas. Emm* P. Ewino the well-known Professor of Domestic Economy at Purdue 1'Diversity, hits resigned her position in the college and gone to Kansas City.

Practice and object lessons art? given each day in the week and the pupils are taught every branch of the culinary art. A graduate from this school issupfKjsed to lie a perfect housekeeper. Those who expect to be professional cooks are given a diploma which will entitle them to receive the wages of skilled labor.

much as the day laborer is picked up on the street, without reference as to character or qualifications. The unskilled servant demands the same wages as are paid to the Old and experienced and she has no idea of commencing at the iHittom and working up as men do in all grades of employment-. As matters now are it is scarcely possible to secure a trained domestic at any price. If woks would come with their diplomas, showing that they had completed a course of applied housekeeping, tlvcy could practically demand their own price and it would be handed to them on a silver waiter. School* of household *eienee should go hand in hand with schools of manual training, the one producing amoug women and the other among men a class of skilled laborers that would command high wages ami enjoy a full measure of respect and independence.

Without exhibiting the slightest discomposure or embarrassment the aged stranger waved a polite greeting to the proprietor with his umbrella and put himself in the attitude of learned discourse, evidently rendered instinctive by scholastic habit. "My worthy friend," he said, "I have just been performing an experiment of the utmost interest, illustrative of a curious physical function which, so far as science is aware, is possessed by the crab alone among animals. If your own leg is injured so badly as to render amputation necessary the operation must be performed with a saw and knives. Likewise with any other living creature surgery must be resorted to for getting rid of the limb. The crab is the solitary exception to this rule. If it concludes that for any reason, a leg or arm is no more desirable, it simply cuts oft the member by a single effort of its own and goes away without it. Catch a crab by the claw, and. as quickly as it perceives that it is not likely to escape otherwise, it will exert the simple act of volition necessary, and dropping the imprisoned limb, goes otf rejoicing."' "Huh!" said the fisherman. "Yes, my good man," went, on the old gentleman. '"And, furthermore, this act of voluntary amputation may be caused by simply scratching or tickling the claw. The crab is doubtless annoyed by it, and being a creature naturally subject to fits of ill temper, the limb is angrily dropped. The amputation,which is truly such and not a meredisarticulat lation of the joint, may also be inducelj by the application of an electric curren That the crab's power to aecomplisht curious feat depends upon the centr nervous system is proved by the fa' that when the crustacean is rendered sensible by an an pathetic or the nervosa system injured the' act of amputation can not be performed. I am very foiad of crabs' legs myself. They are delicious eating." "Indeed,"replied tin* fish man. "Aild so, you shad-bellied old beat, you coiujp around to my stand and tickle my crabs for a supper! Two or three of my customers have complained lately that the crabs they bought of me had lost their big claws. I suppose you have been doing this thing right along." "Pray, be calm," interrupted the old gentleman, with a deprecatory wave of the blue-cotton umbrella. "Your speaking in this impolite manner makes me fear that you have no regard for science nor interest in the wonders of physiology. It is worth remembering, however, that the crab has another great advantage over other animals—it can renew the legs and arms it loses by growing others, although the fresh ones never get to be as large as the originals." "Well, I'd have you know, my blooming old fossil, that I don't keep crabs on my stand long enough for them to grow new arms and legs in the place of the ones you steal and if I ever catch you hanging about here again I'll hand you over to the police."

And the old gentleman, without venturing a response, shuffled off. muttering to himself the while aud fumbling with the two crab legs he had secreted in his pocket.—Washington Star.

A Valuable Pair of Breeches. The owner of a very valuable pair of trousers was lately advertised for in the French papers by the honest finder of the same Who allowed the individual to whom ihey belonged fifteen d&*s in which to come forward. After thift delay he stated he would consider himfi«if justified in profiting by this strange windfall, which, as he was in poor circumstance and about to be married, would too very serviceable to him. On the Place de la Concorde, Pari®, he saw one evening a dark object on the ground, which he first took to be a sleeping dog. On closer inspection, however, he discovered his mistake and picked tap the garment then in his possession. He took the trousers with him on board a boat wh?~*i he e-*-nr»d. and on passing them in review noticed that the buttons seemed different from ordinary ones. Prompted bye'irio^ity he undid the cloth that covered them and found, instead of molds, gold pieces. Carrying investigations further he came across some bank notes stitched into the waistband with o-ber pipers of value.—Chamber*' .Teum-..

CRABS* ARMS AND LEGS.

Thalr Power of Voluntary Amputation Explained By in Old Gentleman. A funny-looking old gentleman, with a blue cotton umbrella under hia arm and goggles to match, stopped at a Washington fish stand yesterday after-* noon and attentively examined a lot of healthy crabs, evidently just out of the water, which were scrambling about in a shallow box with the crackling noise, peculiar to this interesting crustacean under such circumstances. Selecting for particular notice the biggest of them all, the aged person deliberately began to tickle it with his forefinger nail on the second joint of Che left large claw, taking care at the same time to avoid being seized by the rather formidable nippers. This he continued for a few seconds, when the claw suddenly dropped off and the animal scrambled away for a?®short distance, out of reach, while the old gentleman coofly picked up the abandoned member and put it in his pocket. Then he stepped around to the other aide of the box and began to tickle the same crab just as before on the other claw presently that fell off likewise and was promptly pocketed. It looked as though the old gentleman was going to repeat the operation on others of the crabs, but he was cut short at this point by the unexpected appearance of the fish man from behind the door. "What yer doing?"' the latter inquired.
