Crabs. Mr. Steam. the genial book keepei for Kramer A' Son, wholesale grocers, of LaPorte, sent J. Emily, the ding gist, a halt’d zen soft shell crabs, the other day, as a present. The oeca- , sion being one >f considerable importance Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald, the eminent chef of the culinary department ; of the “White Front,” was seemed to prepare them in palatable shape. Mr. Fitzgerald having had several years close and constant acquaintance with different kinds of crabs was able to perform this duty in good style. Mr. I Emily had several messes at home, be- | sides they were set out us flee lunch at i the “White Front” for several days. ' How those half dozen crabs did hold < out! Suspicion of veal rolled in flout [ I was rife among the free lunch fiends, ! ■ but it could not be proven. It was re- j markable how Lrn half dozen crabs could go. We have not learned wheth- j er the free lunch crabs have been ex j 1 hausted or not, but the probability i> that the customers at the “White I I Front” are still being fed on crabs and that Pat will have crabs for some time j to come.

Not since “The’f Anglomaniacs” has there been so clever a society satire as Henry Fuller's “Pilg’ im Sous,” which is published in the August Cosmopolitan. The problems involved in woman’s use of the'bicyele are so startling and so numerous, under the rapid evolution of this art, that one welcomes a careful discussion of the subject by so trained a mind and soclever a writer as Mrs. Reginald de Koven. The Cosmopolitan illustrates Mrs. de Koven’s article with a series of poses by professional models. A new sport, more thrilling than any known to Nimrod, more dangerous than was ever experienced by even u, Buffalo Bill, is exploit ' ed in the same issue in au article on I “Photographing Big Game in the i Rocky Mountains’’ before shooting The idea that ten cents for The Cosmopolitan means inferiority from a literary point of view is dispelled by the ; appearance in this number of such j writers as Sir Lewis Morris, Sir Edwin Arnold, Edgar Fawcett. Tabb, W. ! Clark Russell, Lang, Sarcey, Zangwill, Agues Repplier, etc. Nor can we en tertain the idea of inferiority in illustration with such names as Hamilton Gibson, Denman, Van Schaick, Lix, Sandham, etc., figuring as the chief artists of a single month’s issue. Attention Farmers, Important! $264,000 court house.
