Ity Thaa That sf Eaglaae, Few people have any conception of the extent to which the lobster business haa grown.

It has become so Important that laws have been made to protect the supply. By these laws no lobster less than ten incbea and a half can be marketed In the State of New Tork. Moat lobsters brought to this state come from Portland. or from tbe British maritime provinces. It Is estimated that 'as long ago as 18S7 63,000.000 lobster were caught In one year, and tbe aame observers say that in some year aa many as 100.000.000 lobsters are taken on the North Atlantic coast.

The American lobster distributee himself over a comparatively limited portion of the coast. He baa never been found further north than Henley Harbor, Labrador, nor further south than tbe coast of North Carolina, He la not found to any extent on the Pacific coast, although numerous consignments of blm have been sent overland there by tbe United Statea fish commission. A atrip of tbe Atlantic coast 1.300 miles in length.) sou mini to nity miles in width about covers hla habitat. 80 far as ia known, he does not frequent waters more than 16w fathoms deep and generally the depth Is much less than that. Professor Herrk-k has a high opinion of the lobster from many do lets of view, ir n.

alders him rather Intelligent, and deelarca inai ae frequently piaya possum in order to cacao his enemies. His ststistw i the fecundity of the female lobster are re- maraaoie. tie a ec la res that a female lobster haa beea kcowa to lay S7.440 eeea. An. other Interesting feature of the lobster's habits la hia cuatom of working almost entirely at night.

Hla bablta are without exception nocturnal. Wherever he goea he attcks to tbe bottom of the sea. wkich he never voluntarily leaves. American lobsters are better and of finer quality than then of Great Britain, but they are not so plentiful now as formerlv. Moat of the fishing for them la dona in tha fall and epiing.

The fishermen torn of -ep ratine Urn inrl OfUr atf etas 1 water, which they call "pound." and In which they place their surplus catch tor safe keep-In; until there comes a demand from the market. Tor the for tin trade the lnhsfpr are killed and canned. 'and -in summer thev are shipped In this country alive and packed with ice la barrels. Tha nric the markets is somewhat influenced by the "vwj va nana me large pounds. The toothsome shellfish has been rather expensive la New York recently.

Last week the price went up to 20 eenta a pound, which in high for New Tork. although it has h.ii rise te 15 cents a pound. The average rrlce rorkers par la about is. Mn. xr York Tribune.

Caeewlat Eclair. This la said to be an excellent reel, for making chocolate eclairs: Into a granite- ware saucepan put half a pint of milk, two well-rounded tables poonfula of milk and one tallies poonful of sugar, and place on- the tove.

Set away to cool, and when cool beat In four eggs one at a time. Beat vigorously for about fifteen minutes. Try a email bit of the paato in the oven, and If It rises In the form of a hollow ball the paste Is beaten enough, whereas If It does not, best a little longer. Have tin sheets or shallow nana slightly buttered. Have ready also a taper ing tin tube wlth the smaller opening about three-quarters of 'an inch In diameter.

Place this In the small end of a conical cotton pastry bag. Put the mixture in the bag and press out on tbe pans, having each eclair nearly three long. There should be eighteen and they must be at least two Inches a part raa they swell In cooking. Bake In a moderately hot oven for about twenty- five minutes. Take from the oven and while still warm coat them with chocolate; when cold cut open on the side and fill with cream filling.

To make thle put half a pint of milk In a double boiler and place oa tbe fire. Beat- together one- level tablespoon ul of flour; half a arpful of sugar, and one egg.
