Women as Oyster slncksrs.

The female shuckers who pick out
the larger part of oyster meat at the
Fair Haven shops have had plenty to
do the past season. There has been a
good demand for stock, and in some of
the shops the people have worked over
time. The stock has been in good
order, so that the shuckers have not
had much trOublein their work. Shuck-
ers make from six to thirteen dollars
per week. At the opening of the
season some dealers paid three and
one-half cents per quart for opening,
but the general rate at present is three
cents, the same as last year. The
shuckers begin work at seven o'clock
in the morning and leave of at noon,
excepting on Thursday ard Friday,
when they work until three o'clock in
the afte noon, the largest shipments of
the week being made on those two days.
The shuckers furnish knives, hammers,
and cracking iron. Most of the wO-
men are married, some having worked
twenty years for one firm. Some can
shuck one hundred quarts in ten hours.
The shuCkers measure the meats by
beer measure, and dealers sell stock
bv wine measure. The Providence
shuckers are all men. Virginia plants
and native stock open much easier
than Virginia oysters, the latter having
very thick shells, which are hard to
crack. Providence suckers open by
the stabbing process, driving the Knife
between TIE shells upon one side. WO-
men are not strong enough to shuck
oysters in this manner. At Fair Haven
the thin end of the oyster is placed on
a cracking iron attached to q block of
wood, and the little iron hammer, with
two or three blows, knocks off the end
of the shell, so that the thick, strong
oyster knife IS easily inserted between
the shells, and by a dexterous twist the
oyster is opened.-Ne,0 Haren Patia.

Olive Groves Of MentOne.

The longer one remains in MentOne,
the stronger grows attachment to the
olive groves. But they do not seem fit
places for the young, whose gay voices
resOund through their gray aisles;
neither are they for the old, who need
the cheer and warmth of the sun. But
they are for the middle-aged-
who are beyond the joys and have not
yet reached the peace of life, the poor,
aforementioned, hard-worked middle
aged. The olives of Mentone are small,
and used only for making oil. We saw
them gathered; men were beating the
boughs with long poles, while old wOm-
en- and children collected the dark pur-
pie berries and placed them in sacks,
which the patient dOnkeys bore to the
mill. The Oil-mills are venerable and
picturesque little buildings of stone,
placed in the ravines where there is a
stream of water. We visited one on the
side hill; its only light came from the
open door, and its interior made pict-
ure which Gerard Douw might well
have painted. The great oil jars, the
old hearth and oven, the earthen jugs,
hanging lamps with floating wicks, and
the figures of the men moving about,
made a picturesque scene. The fruit
was crushed by stone rollers, the wheel
being turned by water-pOwer; the pulp,
saturated with warm water, was then
placed in flat round rope baskets, which
were piled one upon the other, and the
whole subjected to strong pressure,
which caused the clear yellow oil TO eX-
ude through the meshes of the baskets,
and flow down into the little reservoir
below Constance f. WOOLSo4l, in HGT'
per'S Magazine.

ScaIIOps.

ScaIIops are growing scarce, and fine
ones are now bringing two dollars a
gallon wholesale. From that figure the
price deScends to one dollar gallon
for the lowest grade. The approach of
the depth of winter is always accom-
panied by a scarcity of these bivalvcs.
They are plentifulin the autumn and
early winter, at which time they are
popular as an article of food. The most
favored method OF cooking them is by
frying, and the bills of fare in the
restaurants and oyster saloons now fire.
QuentlY include the tOOthsOme com
bination. "Oysters and scallops fried
together" The scallops sold here are
caught on the eastern end of Long ISL
and, in the bays and inlets. The big
scallOps caught at sea are not fit to eat.
Only the solid white center of the seal
lOp is sent to the city.
The pretty, hOrn-colored, corrugated
shells of the scallop, with square
hinges, are the ones that children bring
home in the greatest numbers from the
sea-shore, and that the housewives and
young women of a former generation
were fond of converting into pin-cush-
ions. The beauty of these shells at
tracted the attention of the pilgrims of
old, who found them Uttered over the
sea-shore in Palestine, and wore them
to their homes as proof that they had
been to the Holy Land. The scallop's
body is very much like that of the COM
mon clam; but all of it, except the
heart, is black, tough and tasteless.
The fishermen cut off and discard it,
shipping to market only the heart.
The heart is the muscle that connects
the shells.
Unlike the oyster, the scallop is a
traveller. He has sack which he can
distend with a gaseous matter, and
which permits him to float and to move
to and fro with the tides. He swims by
opening and closing his shell and push
ing himself backward.-N Y. San.

The Secretary Of the Interior has re-
Gently made decision in several of the
famous railroad land cases. The decision
ls very lengthy one and involves the
title of several farms in the vicinity of
|. Welcome. The Secretary, so we are re-
liably informed, decides the cases adverse
to the railway company and orders q
trial between the parties who are now
occupying the lands and some parties at
Albert Lea and Window who have made
homestead and tree claim filings on the
lands. - Martin County Sentinel.
LATER. i
The decision of the Secretary of the
Interior, referred to last week, has been
received by Mr. Wade las!d but is too lengthy
for publication. The case involves some
80 different tracts Of land in Martin Co.
to which the S. M. Ry. Co. asserted q
claim. The Secretary decides against the
Railroad Company. It appears that at
date OF the granting act, the lands APP.
piled for were covered by homesteads en-
tries that were Cancelled for abandonment
subsequently to the time when the right
OF the company attached, and the Secre-
tary decides that an entry of record re-
serves the land covered thereby from the
operation of any subsequent law, grant
oreale, until forfeiture is declared and
the land is restored to the public domain
in the manner prescribed by law.-Id.
The above decision will BE good news
to several dozen people. in Austin and
vicinity who have filed on these so-called
railroad lands, believing the R. R. Co.
had no legal claim upon them. These
are the lands located by Green s. Kellar
of Albert Lea, and identical with the
lands located by H. J. Minar of this city.
So this decision would seem to practical
ly settle all the cases against the R.R Co.
