Shut up! you bad pay, too"
1t was a war of words between two italian
scavengers on Stevenson street last even
ing. The participants were F. d. Martini
and Antonio CavagnerO. Cavagnero claimed
that Martini owed him 81 10 for the use of
his cart FIVE days a, s. cents day. Martini
did not deny the d. bt, but asserted that
Cavaguero owed dollar as his share of
cab fare to a recent funeral. This left
balance of 70 cents 10 be paid and Martini
offered to pay that amount
- You pay the whole amount, you bad
pay!" exclaimed Cavagnero, as he rushed at
his opponent. They clineled and blo1d fol-
lowed from the contact. Ii trickled down
the lowering brow of the belligerent Cavag-
nero, who accused Martini Of having used a
weapon. This Martini denied, but he was
arrested in few minutes by Officer z. j.
Dwyer. Martini was later in the evening
released on $1,000 bonds.

Bright Thous Merry.

Frank r. Stockton tells with great
glee how once, many years ago, he in
vented dish and got 81 for the inven-
ton. 1t was while he was sub editor of
Hearth and Home, weekly paper of
which Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge was the
editor. He had contributed to every de-
partment save the household department.
This put him ON his mettle. So he
handed in receipt of his own concoct-
ing. Mrs. Dodge accepted it, and paid
for it at the current rates-S2. The
dish is called "Cold Pink" and here is
the receipt: Take all the white meat left
over from the Thanksgiving turkey, and
chop it NY very fiue. Pour thin Gran
berry sauce over the cold meat. Mix
we'll, put it in china form and set il
away to get cold. When cold, serve it.
1t makes delightful dish. But alas
as Mr.. Stockton himself remarks, there
is never any turkey left over from the
Thanksgiving dinner.

Conyicts OF for Siberia.

The Moscow correspondent of the
London Ne,os says: To-day l witnessed
the departure for Siberia of the first
batch of convicts this season. They
stood in marching column at the railway
station, surrounded by guard of about
100 soldiers with drawn swords. At the
head came the worst class of convicts,
about 800 in number, all having leg fet-
ters and chains. Many had the right
half of the head shaved, an Indication of
long-service sentences. Then came about
100 without fetters, convicted or sus-
pected of lighter offenses, most of them
being without passports, and therefore
liable to punishment Next follow about
100 women, some convicts and some
prisoners wives. 1t is pathetic to see
little children and some infants starting
on this long and terrible journey Of ex-
lie. The dress worn is gray, with yel

A CHILD'S LAUGHTER.

All the bells of heaven may ring,
All the birds of heaven may sing,
All the wells on earth may spring,
AL the winds on earth may bring
All sweet sounds together;
Sweeter far than all things heard,
Hand of harper, tone of bird.
Sound of woods at sundawn stirred,
yelling waters winsome word,
Wind in warm wan weather.
One thing yet there is that none
Hearing ere its chime be done
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of men beneath the sun,
Hoped in heaven hereafter,
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very sound of very light
Heard from the mornings rosiest height,
When the soul of all delight
Fills a ehild's clear laughter.
Golden bells of welcome rolled
Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours SO blithe in tones SO bold
As the radiant mouth of gold
Here that rings forth heaven.
IL the golden crested wren
Were nightingale-why,t then
Something seen and heard Of men
Might be half as sweet as when
Laughs a childof seven.

Canning Grabs.

A thriving industry at Hampton, Va,
is the canning of hard-shell crabs, which
was first begun In the year 1873. About
the 1st of April the season for these
crustaceans opens and continues until
June. During that month and July the
crabs are found with spawn and unfit for
canning purposes. Then in August the
work begins anew and from that time
until about the 1st of November the
canleries are kept very busy.
The crabs are caught chiefly with trot
lines and nets. Beef tripe is used for
bait and each line is attended by one
man in light skiff. The average daily
catch per man in Hampton Roads is from
sixty to seventy-five dozen, although 250
dozen catches have been occasionally re-
ported.
Large boats go out every day and
collect the crabs from the fishermen.
Upon arrival at the cannery the dead ones
and spawners are thrown away. The
Others are placed in open slat-work cars
and conveyed to wooden steamer hav-
ing u capacity of $50 dozen into which a
car is rolled. Steam is then turned on
and the crabs cooked until they turn red i,
wien the car is rolled out aud the con-
tents shoveled into baskets. These are
delivered to men technically termed
''4rippers," who remove the shells,
small claws and entrails. These men
pa,s the cleaned portions to a force of
wamcn and children called "pickers," +"
WHO take out all the meat and place it in
lage pans. The large claws are crushed
ard the meat deftly extracted. AS these
picllers receive but from two to three
cfnts pound, it naturally follows that
tley must be quick and agile workers.
Tie most rapid pickers can generally
prepare about twenty-five pounds day,
bat the average is about sixteen pounds.
T,e hard parts and other refuse are
dlmped into sheet-iron barrels, placed in
scows and sold to- the neighboring farm
es for fertilizing purposes. The upper
shells, which the strippers remove, are
c.refully cleaned and used as receptacles
for deviled crabs, being packed up and
sold with the cans containing the meat.
After being weighed, the crab-meat Is
ti11en to the 'fllers," who pack it in
ODE aud two-pound cans. Each pound
ohil is estimated to contain the meat ex-
tracted from thirty eight crabs. In order
to prevent spelling in the cans, the con-
tents must be very thoroughly cooked,
and consequently after being sealed these
,receptacles are placed in boiling water
for half an hour. Then they are taken
out and vented by piercing a small hole
in the top of each and Immediately re-
sealed. After this they are given final
hot water bath, in which they remain for
two hours. Another process consists in
placing the cans in a strong solution of
chloride of lime water.
Upward of 1000, 900 crabs are thus
canned each season in the Hampton es-
adjustments, and find ready sale in all
parts of the United States. --Detr0t Free

Married the Family.

A story of Florida man who married
three wives from one family is going the
rounds as something remarkable, but
there was family in Maine consisting of
six girls, and of the six three married
men named Bickwell, three married to
the name of Young, one married Liver
more and one never was married. An
other paradoxical feature is that there
were only five husbands in all. The ex-
planation is that two of the Bickwells
died, leaving widows, and Mr.. Young,
who mad two of the sisters before, took
one OF the widows. Then Mr.. Liver
more took the other. So that there
were seven weddings in the family, and
only five men and five women concerned
in them. Mr.. Young had lost one wife

Professor Lombroso, student of
criminals, says that out of forty. one an

about the percentage obtained from the

cal criminals of Turin. Regicides or
murderers of presidents, such as Fieschi,
Guiteau, Nobiling and historic evil-docrs

cast of features. Nobiling, Gaiteau and
