THE process of canning Holsters is thus
described by the Boston Tiueeiier:
- The factory at Southwest Harbor,
Mount Desert. when running at full ca
pacity. puts up 1000 cans IL day, en-
ploying about fifty hands. Until within
Il short time plenty of HOLSTERS have been
taken about the harbor, but now smacks
are used which cruise round and pur-
chase of various parties. The price paid
at this time is about 81 per 100 pounds.
The smacks bring in 10000 or 10000
pounds at time. The vessels are built
with two decks, with perforated bottoms,
so that the fish are preserved alive and
fresh in their native element. Upon the
arrival of the smacks the HOLSTERS are
dumped upon the wharf in big piles
They present IA curious appearance,
biting and clawing at each other, until
they are shoveled into great kettles of
boiling water They are then dipped
out, broken up and the meat taken out
for canning. The big claws and tails are
the only parts used. The cans contain
one pound. a liquor is made of the con
tents of the body of the lobster strained
and prepared with salt and cayenne pep
per, and small portion put in each can
After soldering, the cans are boiled two
hours and half, when they are taken
out, Il little hole made in the top to lie,
the steam out, then tightly sealed and
boiled again. The cans are then var
nished, labeled and boxed for market
HOLSTERS are not now very plenty and are
rather small. The parties who set tn,
nets Gull out the large ones for Boston
and other markets.

Prepare for Good Farming.

In the older settled portions of the
West we are in the transition state in re-
gard to farming. We are no longer pio-
necrs. dwelling on the borders of civil
cation, living on isolated farms surround
ed by unfonced prairies. The land about
our farms no more belongs to spectators
who hold it for II rise, nor does ii form II
part Of the great national domain, open
to entry We no longer pasture our
stock or cut hay on land of which no one
knows the rightful owner. We are no
longer IL semi-pastoral people, hcrding
stock on uninclosed land, but raising
crops on soil of which we are the owners
in fee simple We have outlived the or
der of things common to IL new country,
inhabited by "squatter-sovereigns, and
are entering the era of settled life known
in the older portions of the country. This
new order of things calls for change in
calculations, in management, and in
farm economy.
Many who read this article obtained
their farms at the Government price of
land, Sl.25 per acre. For years they
used for grazing and hay cutting an
amount of land equal to that which they
bought rent free. In some instances
they obtained their fuel on the land of
spectators. In old times to cut wood or
fencing on the land of IA Spectator was
not regarded as Il crime, but IA Just
and mcrited punishment for the crime of
holding land to increase in value by the
industry of actual settlers. This land,
so cheaply bought, has increased in value,
some twenty, some fifty, some an hun
drcd fold. The owners of these lands
have received, ut least, Il fair remuncra-
ton for their industry. They have also
become well-to-do in the world, if not
wealthy. Hardly any class OF men have

A Female Pedestrian,

n BEAUTIFUL young woman, apparently
twenty years of age, applied for lodgings,
a few nights ago, at the Nineteenth Pre-
cinct Police Station, in East Fifty ninth
street. Her dress, although well worn,
was neat and tidy. The blonde hair of
her head hung in curls down well
shaped neck Her form was petite, and
her speech Indicated that her education
had not been neglected. To Sergeant
Whitcomb, who sat behind the desk, she
gave "a remarkable story of how, sixteen
months ago, she married Il man named
Anthony Briggs, carpenter of no mean
capacity, residing in Boston, Mass where
her parents also lived in comfortable cir
cumstances. The young couple lived
handsomely together on the outskirts of
Boston until last February, when, in com
pany with several other families, they
emigrated to North Carolina. On the
way thithcr her husband began to show
his true character by beating her without
the slightest provocation. This he kept
up at intervals until she left him in the
country near Charlotte, N G., with the
determination of going to her parents in

Lots of Stuff i'm the Cellar.

l HEARD young wife Boosting to her
mother one time, and among other things
she said: "Oh, we have lots of stuff in
our cellar!-turnips, potatoes, apples,
squasbes, cabbages, onions, parsnips,
soap, pork, sausages, tallow, milk, butter
lard, candles, soap-grea se, and | don't
know what we haven't got there" The
mother smiled approvingly as though she
thought, "Oh, what an excellent provider
my SON in-law isl"
1t is no trouble to heap things into a
cellar in the fall of the year, but it is a
great trouble to carry out the filth and
decay in the spring, and it is very often
neglected, and the result is serious if not
fatal. An illy-ventilated cellar, stored
with promiscuous edibles, is almost al
dangerous as a powder magazine. Think
of the steamy dungeon whose foul airs
permeate the living rooms above, whose
poison is inhaled by every breath that
goes into the lungs, and from thence into
the red lite-current. We only wonder
that people live as long ana as comfort
ably and happily as they do.
We hope that cellars with lots of stuff
in them" are not common; that men bury
in the ground their surplus vegetables,
bringing into the cellar only limited
supply at Il time. Soap, tallow, pork
lard and soap grease should none of them
be kept where milk and butter are, fol
they are wonderful absorbents of foul
odors.
If barrels must stand in the cellar
sweep them often and let no cobwebs OF
mold accumulate let them be placed on
trestles up off the ground-sweep the
walls thoroughly, move every decaying
vegetable, and pour water about it in
which has been dissolved copperas Have
chloride of lime standing about in plates
secure thorough ventilation-whitewas
if you want to, and there will be no ty
phoid fever or chills rising up out of youl
cellars to seize you for its victim.-Ohi,

THE SKEPTICAL CONVINCED. - Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
stand the silent argument of good re-
suits. When Dr. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of California an Elixir that would
regcncratc the sinking system and cure
diseases not organic the incrcdulous
shook their heads Yet his VINEGAR
BITTERs is now the Standard Restorative
of the Western World The truth could
not be resisted. Under the operation of
the new remedy Dyspeptics regained
their health, appetite and strength, the
Bilious and Constipated were relieved of
every distressing symptom; the Con
sumptive and Rheumatic rapidly recov-
cred; Intermittent and Remittent Fevers
were broken up; the faint of Scrofula
was eradicated. Who could gainsay
facts like these? Not even the Faculty.
Skcpticism was routed. All doubts as to
the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenCcd and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common
with other journalists we are free to
add our testimony to this remedy. 1t is
domestic medicine, and no household
should be without it.
