To Kill a Lobster.
When a live lobster is required for
boiling or other pnrposes, here is a sim
ple and comparatively painless mode of
killing it: Run a loag, narrow bladed
knife into the tail at the third joint from
the end. having the blade slant down
ward. This will cnt the spinal cord,
and death will quickly follow.
