"reminiscences of Maria Mitchell.

As many times as she went over the
ground in astronomy, she never failed to
study each days lesson with each years
class says the Brooklyn Eagle. Her stu
dents could regularly count on having an
easy and short lesson the day after faculty
meeting. Attendance at these meetings
she used to consider the biggest bore of
her college duties. She would say: cpl
give you only little to do for tomorrow,
for | must go to faculty to-day, and I'll be
too weary to prepare long lesson myself"
In the early days of the college these meet
ings had more of religious character than
at present. They were usually opened
with prayer and some passage from the
Bible. Professor Mitchell would always
manage to be late for this part of the pro-
gramme, and when the President requested
her presence she made future reference to
the matter impossible by the remark that
she was "unable to pray to order"
Even though her students always did
themselves credit, she would not show Wis
itors to the classes unless she herself in
vited them. Once recently Professor
Taylor was quite nonplused when, on en-
tering her classroom in company with a
distinguished coileSe guest; sHe sdlu
'Now, girls, | hate company, and | know
you don't want to show off so you may be
dismissed"
Once when she was on the cars between
Boston and New York the newsboy. on the
train eyed Miss Mitchell with evident in
terest. As result of his inspection the
little fellow offered her none of the trashy
literature he distributed to the travellers,
but presently, with an air of decision,
brought her one of Mrs. Stoves works.
When she shook her head he said
'Scuse me, but amt you Mrs Stowe ?"
Not to be baffled by her refusal to accept
the name he tried to fit to her face, he
presently returned the attack, saying
Then perhaps you're Mrs. Stanton?"
Receiving a second negative, he added,
respectfully:
@Would you mind telling me who you
are, ma am ?"
1t is not probable that the name, Maria
Mitchell, give the persistent boy any very
definite enlightenment, but he exclaimed,
triumphantly:
II knew you was somebody p

California prunes have attained world
wide reputation, and the product of the
prune-orchards Of Santa Clara county COM
mand larger price in New York than
prunes imported from France. One tree

of fruit this season-estimated to make
800 pounds of dried fruit which, at seven
cents per pound, would bring 81.
The stalks from old asparagus beds
should be burned, and good dressing of
manure spread over the ground. Young
plants may be set out now as well as at
any season, when the ground is in good
condition. In heavy, wet soil it is best to
plant in spring. Any good, rich garden
soil is suitable for asparagus; newly set
plants should be lightly covered during
winter.
The currant is hardy plant, and does
well on nearly all kinds Of soils. The
greater growth of the currant is made dur
ing the first two months of summer, and it
should be cultivated early. 1t is not la
borious to plant them, as furrow may be
made with a pillow and the young bushes
planted in the row, instead of digging
holes for each, as is frequently done.

THE sUccULENT sHREMp.
Only Two Places in the United States
Where 1t is Canned.

There are but two places in the United
States-as far as we know-where shrimp
are caught and packed in cans for do
nestle consumptfon-New Orleans, La,
and Biloxi, Miss, says the Biloxi Miss
Herald.
OF all the crustaceous family of fishes
the shrimp is the most delicate and enjoy
able. 1t serves for soups, salads, and plain
boiled for table use. Properly prepared
it is dish for epicures. The lobster and
crab are coarse and common as compared
with the shrimp.
For some years the packing of shrimp in
cans for foreign and domestic markets has
been carried on in this place and New
Orleans, and up TO this season the demand
has exceeded the supply.
The industry has been and may be said
to be yet in its infancy, and will no doubt
be developed into proportions that will
surprise those now engaged in it.
The outfit for the fishermen is a schooner
of from three to fifty tons, with a crew of
smaller boats, a seine of so to 120 fathoms
in length, four to six days supply of ra-
tions, a good yawl and several tons of ice
Thus equipped the vessel cruises inside
and outside, keeping good lookout for
the schools Of shrimps, which the eye of
practiced fisherman discovers at consider
able distances.
The fishing season is about two months
in the spring, and in August, September
and October, or FIVE months in the year.
The catch of boat depends on the
weather and skill and luck of its crew.
The business is said to be very profitable
to good fishermen.
We have not the fall facts sufficient to
show the extent and Importance of the
business in Biloxi, but give the following :
There are forty schooners outside and
thirty inside engaged in the business of
fishing for the Biloxi canneries, employing
about three hundred and twenty men,
One day during the present week 500
barrels were brought in, which had a value
of $1,000 raw. This gave employment to
large force of men, women and children,
largely the latter, in picking shrimps.
A boy or girl u to IA years of age can
make from 81 to So in day of eight hours
labor During the shrimp season, on the
best days, about 81, 600 a day is paid out
for labor, and the great bulk of it to
women and children.
There are three factories now engaged in
the shrimp business in our town, one with
a large capacity, and perhaps another sea-
son may see a considerable increase, as the
business is said to be profitable.
We do not know how many cases Of
canned shrimp will be put up this season,
but our information is that it will be very
much larger than in New Orleans, which,
as we have said, is the only other place
where shrimp are packed. But hasty
estimate shows that shrimp, this fall sea-
son, will bring to our town not less than
100000.

Here lies a common man. His horny hands,
Crossed meekly Gs maids upon hi' breast,
Shows marks Of toll, and by his general dress
You judge him to have been an artisan.
Doubtless, could all his life be written out
The story would not thrill nor start tear;
He worked, laughed, loved, and suffered in his
time,
And now rests peacefully, with upturned face
Whose look bellies all struggle in the past
a homely tale; yet, trust me, have seen
The greatest of the earth go stately by,
While shouting muliitudes beset the way.

In an article contributed to the Country
Gentleman, Henry Stewart says: One
more need OF the dairy which should not
be passed over is, the production Of all the
domestic supplies that can be grown on
the farm. A dairy-man's pocket should
not be a mere spout for the conveyance Of
his hard earned money into the hands Of
go-betweens, who distribute the products of
distant farmers. A dairy farm should
have its steers reared and fed for home
use: its acre or two of wheat for the fam
iIy bread; It's corn field for the feeding Of
the stock: the oats or barley for the
horses: the vegetables, pork and poultry;
in fact nothing should be purchased that
can be home grown. Much may be done
by the association of neighbors in this
Tav. | know of meat associations which
take sheep, pigs and beeyes from the indi-
vidual members and hire man at stated
price for preparing and distributing the
meats. The animals are thus sold for the
full market prices, and the meat IS bought
at actual cost-not over Z to S cents per
pound. In short, the keeping Of money
earned is quite as important consider
alton as the earning of it, and should be
made matter of equally earnest study.
