nbour the lobster and a:\? the popular ideas a: of life, et(

is known

very erroneous to it.- food, mode

that I iliink a story of the life

of a lobster as it is lived on the coast of Maine, the greatest lobster ground in the United Slates, perhaps in the world, should be interesting as well as valuable to all lovers of this toothsome crustacean. When the eggs are extruded from the female, between the months of April and .September, they are already fertilized by the male. They art* covered with a viscous secretion, which causes them to stick together, and also to the long, line hair, or swimmerets, of tlie abdomen. The number of eggs varies from 1.000 to 20.000, and after they are a few days old the skin of tlio egg changes and ho young lobster is able to swim.

They are now a prey for many kinds of fishes and do not even hesitate to devour each other. I Jut the carapace, or shell, soon begins to form, .and after a very little time the young crustacean finds his way to his natural home at the bottom of some shelving rock. The shell is formed in a very curious manner. It consists of a mucous exudation from the body of the lobster itself and contains a large proportion of calcareous or limy matter. This shell is so inelastic that when the animal grows its covering becomes too small, and the process of exuviation, or shedding the shell, takes place, generally once a year, until the animal is lull grown, after which it does not exuviate, so that wo sometimes iind old lobsters whose shells are covered all over with barnacles.

This process of exchanging the shell is accomplished with great pain and dilliculty to tiie lobster, as the increased limbs have to be drawn from the now too small shells of the claws, legs. etc. When the exuviation begins, the shell of the body of the animal splits down the back to the tail, and the semilhpiid flesh is withdrawn from the shell. Then the lobster drairs lt-

self forward feebly, le-avingthe shell of tin-t-ail behind. However, so quickly docs the process of exudation go on that the new shell is perfectly formed in a few days, and the lobster leaves his temporary retreat.

The manner in which lobsters move is very ingenious. The legs proper are the only limbs that arc used. The tail, claws, etc., are kept motionless and in such a position as to offer the least possible resistance to the water. During this progress the long tentacles are continually moving from side to side, feeling the way and incidentally looking out for enemies or danger. Should danger be apprehended tho lobster at once backs with very marvelous rapidity, in which operation the tail is used in cases of extreme urgency.

Although everybody who has seen a lobster must have noticed that one claw is larger than the other, few persons know the reason for this disparity of size or the real uses of the claws. Their chief use is for the purpose of capturing and preparing food, but they are also usedjis instruments of attack an(l defense.

It has been commonly believed that their food consists of decaying or decomposing bodies of fishes and other animals, but this is entirely erroneous. As a matter of fact, the lobster is very careful in the selection of his food, and unless his usual food is scarce or entirely absent from his locality he never eats anything that is not perfectly sound. The natural food consists of clams, mussels, small oysters and the smaller kinds of shellfish, usually bivalves.

The larger claw fakes the place of the molars in the higher animals. With this the lobster grasps the bivalve and crushes it, and then the smaller claw, which is thickly set with incisors, is used for dividing the softer portions of the prey and preparing the food. While the process of cm.-lung the shells and preparing the llesh of 1 iie bivalves is going 011 tiie little horns on the end of the tail and alsothoso on the thorax show their usefulness by holding the prey or food while the claws are doing tho slaughtering and butchering work.

Connected with this use of the claws, and also with reference to their utility in defense and attack, it. is highly interesting to observe the remarkable, faculty for repairing injur which is possessed by the lobster. For instance, when a claw is injured, while crushing shells or during a light, the limb at one.! snaps off at the second joint, where tho diameter is least, and tho animal does not seem to suffer the slightest inconvenience from tho loss. Tho limb fills out at the next exuviation, but in the case of a full grown lobster the loss is never supplied.

Lobsters are endowed with a very well developed sense.of smell, and for tl!?s reason I hey avoid as much as possible those parts of the bottom where decomposing animal matter lies unless it becomes necessary, through lack of heirnatura! food, to have recourse to that unsavory diet. This sense also enables them to discover the proximity of many of their enemies.

Concerning these holes or retreats there exists a very interesting ilein 111 ihe life and habits of tho lobster. Every lobster builds or scoops out a home for himself in the mud or sand beneath some shelving

rock. Tho claws and legs play no part in the digging operation—in fact, it is solely owing to the wonderful contraotable power of the tail, somewhat akin to that possessed by the human lingers, that the work of excavation is done. The tail is first drawn up with as much mud or sand as possible in it-s curved or spoonlike form tho 'animal then jerks (lie tail suddenly forward, throwing out. tho sand and at the same timedrawing heaninial farther into the cavity, and so on until the rotre-at is large enough.

These holes are primarily intended for shelter during the period of exuviation, but. they also serve as refuges at other times.

This is, In short, the life history of tho lobster, and those who favor lobster— boiled, broiled, in salad or otherwise—will \e pleased to learn hat. their favorite shellfish feeds only on the most dainty as well as tho health giving forms of food.

NEW YORK,

Claw In a Fight,

uch—Penchant

It has been said

that the rest a urn-at ot New York are rep-

Claw*. lieas of metropolitan life, and this is true to a certain extent. In no other resorts can one study the various classes so closely, observe their manners and morals, their tastes and appetites, their dress and caprices so minutely. In certain magnificent Fifth avenue cafes, especially after the theater or opera isomer, the fashionable world is on exhibition. Lovely women whose fame is international, robed like princesses, are the chief attraction. Bir there are always railroad kings, Wall street magnates, distinguished authors and shrewd politicians to be seen as well. Now and then some famous actress comes in with two or throe swells in her train, the little procession causing a momentary ripple in the essentially elegant assemblage, but as a rule these arc the resorts of the beau monde, anil the lines are usually drawn around the charmed circle.

Not more than half a dozen blocks away from some of these fashionable restaurants may be seen a very different class of people. In several up town cafes, about midnight, one may see the nearest approach to Parisian life, possibly, in the town. Hustling, perfumed, jeweled and radiant come the cream of society's outlaws—women whose names have figured unpleasantly in sensational divorce cases soubrettes of the Tenderloin, whose spicy escapades have been the subject, of many a newspaper scandal, all gorgeously attired, prosperous, smiling, seeming to taste only the sunshine and inhale the roses of life. There are lots of respectable women, too, who have begged and cajoled their husbands, brothers or cousins into bringing them to these restaurants simply to behold this beauty show. Here, too, you may see a crowd of theatrical people, hurrying in with the makeup scarcely washed from their faces, low comedians, dancers, living pictures. I

To see an entirely different class of peopie, go in some day to a restaurant on West- Sixteenth street. Here come in bundreds the breadwinners, the self supporting women of New York. Typewriters, stenographers, journalists, art students, buyers for the big dry goods establishments, private secretaries, cashiers and bookkeepers may all be seen any day in the week, eating a modest luncheon for which they pay modest prices.

Then there are the shoppers' restaurants and cafes. Between Twenty-second and Eighth streets are any number of places frequented almost entirely by the vast army of shoppers. There is one restaurant, and the only one in town of its kind, where women take a stand up luncheon, just like lit le men. Many of the dry goods

shops now have, restaurants connected with

In one of the oldest and stateliest parts of New York is a famous French hotel where all the world mix and dine. It is the most cosmopolitan and democratic cafe in New York. Here you may see almost all types. All the famous foreigners who visit our town are sure to show up there sooner or later. Opera singers, yacht owners, architects, journalists, fashionable people out on a lark, bridal couples and a host of folks who have brought out of town friends to show them ono phase of New York life are to be seen here at the table d'hote, which is one of the very best in the city.

Not. far away is a funny little cafe much affected by artists, newspaper men and women, cartoonists, bohemians of all sorts. Everybody knows everybody, people visit together at the long

each other by their first names, jolly and chaff one another and have a very good sort of time altogether. The dinner is not much, cannot, be for 30 cents, the wine is atrocious and cafe au cognac villainous, but these happy go lucky individuals do not mind. They are oiit simply for a good free and easy time, and they get it, for they do exactly as they please in this droll, stuffy little restaurant.

Now, if you go a long way down town, you will find more replicas of New York life and of a different, sort from any shown in the cafes already described. Then: is a quite famous restaurant, in one of the big office buildings 011 Broadway which is frequented mostly by lawyers .'ind their families. Here, in this large, luxurious cafe, one may see a prominent lawyer lunching with his client, or with his wife and danghtors perhaps, who have come down town to attack papa's bank account and inci- I dentally to make him invite them out to I luncheon. Famous jurists often stroll in with their friends, and many of the bulls and bears of Wall'street lunch and dine here. I

There is a restaurant on a down town side streel, where no intoxicating drinks. are ever sold and where Script ural texts 011 the walls jostle the printed placards announcing the prices of various dishes, Thus "Come unto me all ye that labor" is in startling proximity to "Pork and beans, 15 cent.-." The effect is very ridiculous,

O11 another down town street is an exceedingly democratic restaurant. The writer was lunching there one day with a clever woman editor, and nn the opposite side of the same table sat. the scrubwoman I who that morning had cleaned the floor of tlio editor's oil ice.

One must not forgot the Chinese resfaurants in Mott. street, where chicken livers, rice and nonpareils are served you with resurrected eggs and strange, fiery, peach hued Chinese whisky. Hero you may see life of another sort, and a very saddening one at times when Chinamen come in with their white wives. Flash confidence men, bunko steerers, amateur sports, are all jostled in these restaurants. The kitchens, however, are marvels of neatness and always open to tho inspection of the curious. It is quite a fad with certain people who wish to see many phases of life to go down into Mott street for a midnight supper and le to handle chopsticks. They look innocent enough and quite easy to manipulate, but in the ,1^'inds of ihe inexperience,d become the most slippery and unwieldy of implements.

In tho neighborhood of Brooklyn bridge and the great newspaper oflices' art! many restaurants frequented by the people who help to make the daily journals. You may see editors, reporters and special writers as well as typesetters and proofreaders in any of these cafes. Here, too, come city iiall people, ollicials and appointees, ward politicians and ward heelers. Tho postoflice sends its representatives, and interspersed are well known business men, bankers, promoters and railroad men. Stories an suggested, deals consummated, political slates fixed, bargains struck over these tables, while a sprinkling of the fair sex— the presence of lovely advanced woman— *ndieatcs that even here in this prosaic atmosphere are spring gowns designed and flirtations conducted by hidios, both of the old and new schools.

spondent of Tlio Standard telegraphs: "I am told that the Japanese have declared it is impossible for them to yield to the dictation of Russia and they tire making their preparations accordingly. Largo orders have been placed in several European countries tor war material and Japanese agents arc busy in the dockyards of Europe and America I buying warships, mostly small swift cruisers.

No re- pue will be allowed China lor the ratification of the treaty. The march to Pekiu begins the moment the I armistice ends. As regards Russia.

Iter claims will bo politely waived and it will then be imperative that the allies bring matters to an issue."

Russia Jteady I'"or Hostilit ies. LONDON, May •).—A dispatch to The

Times from Odessa says it is senu-of-ficially announced that Russia lias made every preparation, and is quire ready to begin hostilities if Japan refuses' to modify the terms of her treaty of peace with China.

A St. Petersburg dispatch ro the same paper says there is reason to believe that an early official answer from .Japan to the protest of Germany, Russia and France was not expected. Russia is inclined t- give Japan plenty of time in •which to reply, without the latter stultifying herself in the eyes of the Japanese people by anything like a too hasty compliance. The Russian envoy at Tokio has lately pressed for a reply ro the protest, and has been told that it will be given in a few days on rhe return of Count Im, president of the ,7apaiie.se council of ministers. In diplomatic circles there is great confidence that a pacific solution of the matter will be reached.
