Nsw York Girls Developing n Taste for
Gambling.
Our young ladies are not only devel-
oping horsey tastes, but they are devel-
oping a taste for turf gambling that
would make their grandparents turn in
their graves if they knew of it. Ayoung
lady who can not talk horse nowadays
shows that she is not in the social whirl-
pool. She must know the points of a
horse as readily as any jockey. was

FOR, instance there IS the familiar
and extraordinary figure of our Uncle
Sam. Every American acknowledges
knship with him, but few know how
he came into existence. Even some of
the artists who have depicted him, year
after year, in his different moods and
attitudes, know nothing of his origin.
After making many interrogatorles in
regard to him and considerable research
into his gencalogy | learned that an
English caricaturist created him in de-
RS on long ago. The intent was to en-
body all the ignorance, egotism, crude
ness, pretension and asserliveness OF
the saucy young country in the quaint
fl .ure of the old Yankee, But there
was a dignity in the tall, angular, self
satisfied old man which his creators
neither meant nor saw. The people Of
the new country saw it, however, and
took him to their hearts. They adopted
the idea of the benelicent uncle, and
put him into songand story. Then they
cepted him as he was portrayed, thin
and elongated, long-haired, hatchet-
faced, and wearing raimcnt the like of

How Fish Are Packed in the Atlantic

How Fish Are Packed in the Atlantic
Seaport.
81 want You to 20 through one Of the
fish curing and packing establish
ments," sad citizen of Gloucester to
a reporter few days since. II doubt
if you have any idea of the work that is
done in one of them. Great changes
have been made in the business. Years
ago curing fish was synonymous with
dirt and offensive smells. All that has
been done away with, and the curing
and packing of fish is done with as
much regard to cleanliness as is the
grinding OF wheat and packing of
-four"
Where shall we go?" asked the
journalist.
"Any where, into any Of them; in all
of them the processes are clean and
wholesome" Being near the estab-
shment of Messrs, John Pew g. Son,
the representative asked the proprie-
tors to show him about, which they
kindly did. The establishment covers
two or three acres. The first thing
which attracts ones attention is
huge reservoir which is filed from an
artesian well by power furnished by a
windmill. I'VE are obliged to
have an abundance of pure wa
ter" sad Mr.. Pew, because
thorough washing is of the utmost
importance in this business. At the
whar es of the company were two
ships unloading salt. That ship"
pointing to one of them, is one of the
last of the famous fleet built by Nc
Kay" The salt used is of the cleanest
and best quality, great care being taken
to get the best and to remove from it
all impurities. A cargo of mackerel
was lust in, and crew of men in one
building were at work repacking them
Where they are caught they are put
into barrels with little salt and regard
less of size. In the curing establish
meDt they are all taken out, classified,
resulted and packed into barrels, half
barrels and kits. Large houses were
filled with hogsheads OF cod and other
fish in pickle. These fish are not sold
in that form, but cargoes are usually
kept in that condition as the most con-
venient and safest prior TO drying.
The fish are dried on frames, those of
this firm covering half OF two-thirds of
an acre, and one dare not say how
many thousand pounds of fish can be
cured at one time thereon. The pack
ing of dry fish is comparatively new
industry. In days of yore the dry fish
was thrown down in most any place in
the retail store where it would not dry
up or lose anything in weight.
All this has been changed by the in
PRODUCTION of packing and boxing. 1t
is also a great saving. Heretofore it was
difficult to sell the small fish; now that
the skin and the bones are removed
the small ones are Just as good as the
larger. On the second floor of one
building were over thirty men, women
and boys engaged in cutting, curing
and packing dry fish. 1t was model
workroom, light, with the cool breezes
from the ocean coming in at the win
dows. From a pile OF the fish men
with strong hands took the fish and re-
moved the bones in less time than it
takes one to tell it. Others seize it and
pull of the ski. Another gang cut
them into pieces about two and one-half
by six inches. This is done on large
RbleF divided into squares. through

A Mountain Pink.

A small audience, rendered so no
doubt by the storm that prevailed,
greeted Miss Laura Dainty and COM
pany at the rink last evening. The
play is one that in the hands of less
capable people than those who filled
the leading parts, would barely be
rescued from medriocrity, but happily
it found able representation, and was
well received by the audience. Miss
Laura Dainty in the leading role dis
played marked ability AS an actress,
and added to the charm of pleasing
stage presence the merit Of a
thoroughly schooled actress and
elocutionist who playing a
dialect part, did not in the most
exciting SCENES lose her vernacular.
Miss Maud Midgely as Nondas also
gave a very spirited rendition of an
unsympathetic character. Miss Nettie
Gregg as Belle Trafton had little to do,
but did 1t acceptably and the same
may be said of Miss Cook as Samantha.
OF the male parts Mr.. HydsOn as Will
mot. Mr.. Wilson rs Col. Trafton, and
Mr.. Rose as Weeks, deserve special
mention, though the remainder Of the
men averaged from fair downward.
A large and more enthusiastic house
might have brought them out In
richer color, but the introduction o
any play, where pistols are chief in
gredient, and where they are carried
and handled so clumsily as was the
case last night, cannot but call forth
adverse criticism from western
audience. We here are not used
to seeing a Colts As hung TO O
man by a skate strap, and in q
position where he couldn't possibly
get II unlimbered and ready for ser
vice in time for any resultant bene'
fits in this world. AS a whole, how
ever, the performance was enjoyable
and the denouement worked out with
a reasonable regard for probabilities
