THE ONLY MAN WHO WAS ALWAYS
SATISFIED WITH THE WEATHER.

We never knew more than one man who was
perfectly satisfied with the weather at all times
and pnder all circumstances. 1t was Chubb.
No matter what the condition OF the weather,
Chubb was always c0ntented and happy, and
willing to affirm that the state of things at any
oiven moment was the very best state that
could be devised. In summer, when the Their
mOmeter bolted up among the %nlnetles, Chubb
wonld come to the front door with beads OF
norsniration standing out all over his red face,
until his head looked like a raspberry, and
would look at the sky and say, splendid per-
fectlv splendid! Noble weather for the poor
and for the ice companies and the WasherWo-
men! never saw such magnificent weather
for driving shirts. They don't shake up any
euch climate as this in Italy. Gimme my UNI

would creep down fifteen degrees below Zero
and the cold was severe enough to freeze the
inside of Vesuvius solid to the centre OF the
globe, Chuhb would sit out on my fence and

On a showery day, when the sun shone

lobster canning NJ l[onnt pesert.

The process Of canning Holsters at
Mount Desert Is thus described: "The
factory at Southwest Harbor, Mount
Desert, when running at full capacity,
put up %, 900 cans a week, employing
about fifty hands. Untilwithin short
time plenty Of Holsters have been taken
about the harbor, but now smacks are
used, which cruise round and purchase
Of various parties. Tho price paid at
this time Is about 81 per 100 pounds.
The smacks bring in 10000 or 1900
pounds at time. Tho vessels arc
built with two decks, with perforated
bottoms, SO that the Dish are preserved
alive and fresh in their native element.
Upon the arrival OF the smacks the
Holsters are dumped upon tho wharf in
big piles. They present curious up.
poarance, 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. Tho
big claws and tails arc the only parts
used. The cans contain one pound. A
liquor is made Of tho contents OF the
body Of the lobster, strained, and pre-.
pared with salt and cayenne pepper,
and n small portion put ip each can.
After soldering, tho cans are boiled two
hours and q half, when they are taken
ont, a little hole made In tho top to lot

boiled again. The cans are then var.
nished, labelled, and boxed for market.
