4 pROTECTEn HOME.

Y fkp EGlED HOME.
the Calumet river emptieS into Lake
Michigan was started there were in that
pant of the town Of Hyde Park exactly
nineteen Polish families. They lived
in the style that had been familiar to
them IN the place from which they came.
Naturally frugal. and with an eye to the
main chance. they Squatted upon those
swamp lands. \ few boards lining the
stanchionS. d board roof, and an unlim-
tied pasture fer COWS, with the natural
element Tor geese and ducks. was their
home. 1t is so ROW to large extent.
The nineteen Polish families in South
Chicago nave not grown, but they have
been augmented by nearly 200 more. 1t
can well be said that of the claimed 12.-
600 inhabitants of that particular dis
trict 10 per cent are Polish.
They are not mechanics, neither are
they skilled laborers. They are people
of whom pater familias, brought here
by contract. works twenty-five hours
out of tweHty-four, so to speak, and

FROM THE DEEP BLUE SEA.
A New and Delicate Edible Dis
covered in the Deep.

A new edible delicacy of marine orr
gin, and surprising, in the opinion of
many southern gourmands, the finest
oysters, is about to be introduced into
this country, says the London Morning
Post. A supply Of the true Mediterra-
mean urchinS, in good condition, is to be
consigned to our market. and English
epicures will be asked to try the eggs
of the echinidean after the fashion
of Marseilles-that is by eating
uncooked. The sea urchin. which
scientific men, with the PLAYFUL sim
plicity characteristic of the kind. have
agreed to designate the Strengthens
trotuS" is an article of food in many
parts of the world as most people are
probably aware. Hence one of the COM
mon names it bears among fisher folk
who have no reputation for learning to
keep up, and who call it the "sea egg"
But all along the shores OF the Mediter-
ranean the five-celled roSette forming
the inside Of the prickly creature is GS-
steemed one of the fastest mOrsels
yielded by the sea. Strangers visiting
the MarSeilleS fish market will see basket
after basket there filled with these
browny green and violet-colored hedge
hogs of the deep" They are deftly
opened by the fiShwives, the left hand
being protected against the sharp
prickles by stout cloth wrapped around
it. the stomach sack is cut out. and the
fine orange-colored eggs in the center
exposed and handed upon the shell to
the customers ever ready for the dainty.
These eggs are only to be found in the
''urchin' between the months of Oc-
tOber and May, that is. about the same
time as the oyster is in season.
At other times the eggs are missing.
and many worthy people have
pronounced the creature good for moth
ing because they happened to capture
and open it at the wrong season of the
year. The urchin fishery. owing to the
great demand for the crustacean in
Southern Europe, is one of the most i'm
portant in the Mediterranean. The
creatures frequent rocky ground. and
in the form Of round, pricllly balls, they
are found, hundreds together, a few feet
below high water mark in the shoals of
the Spanish, French and Italian coast.
They are captured by means of q cleft
stick, with which the fisher pokeS about
in their hauntS, and often, too, by
divers. In the bay of Naples
nothing is more amusing than to watch
the urchin fishers at work in search of
their prey. Rowing to the spot where
they are carrying on operations, one
may see some scores of heads bobbing
about in the water, and probably an
equal number of pairs of legs, ali be-
longing to bodies that are invisible.
Suddenly a head will go down and a
pair of legs come up: then, as uneX-
pectedly, one Of the pairs of legs will go
down and head bob up. 4 ''puzzling
spectacle" says Mr.. II. Jones, who has
well described the fishery, land con-
slant vicissitude from heels to heads
and from heads to heels.'

These protected day laborerS evidently
are not opponents of the MalthuSian
theOry-everything swarmS with chill
dren. 1t can truthfully be stated
that on an average half dozen of the
latter. besides husband and wife, con-
Stitute the family. They all live and
sleep on t'other side of the partition. In
the kitchen one or two mattresses are
spread upon the floor after night. and
upon these the ''boarders," young,
strapping fellows, rest at night. The
atmosphere, even in day time. is so

SCENE ON BUFFALO AVENUE.

From what even the most superficial
observer would notice i'll a casual stroll
through the colony of protected labor
erS the statement would not seem to be
exaggerated. For blocks the prairie is
dotted with the Shanties OF the squat
tiers. There are no streets, 10 alleys.
From the standpoint of an artist the ag-
gregation is rather picturesque. What
originally was the One-r0om hut of the
free squatter has grown by additions to
a cOnglOmerate of frame architecture
that delights the artist and bewilders
the ordinary mortal. Doors, windows
and pOrches are put in and put on as
mayhap fortunate ''haul" enables the
proprietor to add to his dwelling. and
for blocks stretch these novels of
squalor over a territory which. perhaps,
is destined to be in no far future one of
the greatest industrial centers of Chi
cagO.

A MILLION-DOLLA BLOCK
To Go Up on the Washburn Corner
"A Giant Railroad Building.

The handsomest and most expensive
private structure in the Northwest will
be erected this spring, upon the Wash
burn corner, adjoining the new post Of
flee, on second avenue south and Third
street. The present intention is to erect
a twevel-story building that will cost
in the Geighborhood of S1,OOO,OOO. The
information concerning it comes from
first hands and is entirely reliable, but
it is deemed yet too early to give exact
details. Gen. WaShburn sold the prop
erty, which has Third street frontage
of 1872 feet and 155 feet on Second ave,
nue. south, early in January to Louis f.
Menage, at figure which is not made
public. By the benefcient systems and
vogue in the registers office, the convey
ance was given as an unpublished deed.
Mr.. Menage purchased the property for
the Northwestern Guaranty Loan COM
pany, of which he Is presi dent, in
which will erect the building. The
material to be used and the design are
not yet decided, but the building will
co9er the full ground. Work on the
foundations will begin within thirty
days, and the expectation is to have the
structure enclosed before cold weather.
1t is believed E. II. Mix d. Co., of Mil
Waukee, will be the architects.
While the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan company will occupy the building,
it is the present intention to erect it as
emphatieally railroad and office build
ing, and it will become the headquarters
of the 500 system. Mr.. Lowry and Gen.
Washbnrn are largely interested in
both plans. 1t is also probable the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road will take
a fIOOr while other similar
may come in later. The intention is to
erect thoroughly fire proof, handsome
and durable structure, without second
west of Chicago.
The Loan company in charge is amply
able to handle scheme of this magni-
tude. 1t is solid concern, which be-
gan business in 1884 with 100000 cap
ital, and after paying big dividends has
increased its capital to 100000. Adj
ditional capital will be readily forth
coming when required. The officers of
the company are: Louis II. Menage.

Sanitary Reform is Profitable.

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner is writing a
series of articles in Rorper's Magazine on
the great west and its marvellous develop
ment. In one of his articles he speaks of
Memphis, that was nearly depopulated by
the yellow fever epidemics with which she
was afflicted in 1878 and 1879, and points
out how necessary a good sanitary condition
is to the prosperity of a city. The follow
ing is an extract from his remarks ON that
city: "The student Of social science will
find in the history of Memphis a striking
illustration of the relation of sound sanitary
and business conditions to order and
morality. In 1873 the yellow
fever came as an epidemic, and so
increased in 1879 as nearly to de-
populate the city; its population was re-
duced from nearly 10000 to about ID. 900,
two-thirds negroes; its commerce was ab-
solutely cut off; its manufactures were
suspended; it was bankrupt. Il
The turning point in its career was the
adoption of a system of drainage and sew
erage which transformed it immediately
into fairly healthful city. With its I'M
even surface and abundance of water at
hand, it was well adapted to the Waring sys-
tenn, which works to the satisfaction of all
concerned, and since its introduction the
inhabitants are relieved from apprehension
of the return of a yellow fever epidemic.
Population and business returned with this
sense of security, 4 and it can now
truthfully claim between 5000 and so 900. ="
No citizen of Memphis doubts that the
money spent for sanitary purposes there
was wisely spent, and no citizen anywhere
should object to such an expenditure of
m oney as will place his city in good sani-
tary condition.

The Red Badge of Whisky.

The liquor men of Laurens county should
be given the most prominent place in the
ranks of the anti-temperance men. A Wis
itor to Dublin says that in the recent local
option election in that county drunken
negroes were formed into professions, and,
with blood-red badges on their breasts and
blood-red tickets in their hands, were
marched to the polls and induced to cast
their ballots against the cause of temper
ance. AS they passed respectable people
on the streets, these whisky-soaked voters
shouted: you ribboners (the temperance
people, are fighting the saloon keepers, but
we are fighting Jesus"
Men who encourage such conduct, or even
fail to enter their protest against it, should
ponder well the meaning of it. 1t denotes
the existence of a feeling of contempt for
virtue, for law and order and for every
thing that makes community prosperous
and contented. 1t means the existence of a
feeling that is likely to show itself in muir
der, rape and other great crimes. The
good people of Laurens county should not
permit those who are controlled by such a
feeling to get the upper hand in her affairs.
If she does, there will no longer be happi-
ness in her homes nor prosperity within her
borders.
