SHRlMPS AND ABAlONES.
They are Caught in Muititules on the
Pacific Coast by Chinamen.

"There are some very curious fish
cries carried on by the Chinese on the
Pacific coast" said an officer of the
Washington SIN writer One of the
most remarkable is the catching of
shrimps, which is an important in
dustry in San Francisco bay and adj
jacent waters. These little crustac-
cans, upon being captured, are taken
ashore and boiled in big iron watts af-
ter rude fashion, holes being scooped
out of the side of a steep bank for fire.
places, which are built up with stones.
After the shrimps have remained in
boiling water for ten minutes they are
spread out to dry upon bare ground.
One such shrimp yard at Hunters
Point is about fifteen acres in extent
The Chinese use brooms shaped some
what like hoes for spreading the
shrimps and to turn them at the re-
quired intervals.
after being thoroughly dried by
exposure to She sun for about five
days the shrimps are crushed by be-
ing trodden upon by the Cinnamon in
wooden shoes This process loosens
the meat from the shells, which latter
are removed by shaking in basket or
by passing them through a crude fam
ning-mill Both meats and shells are
then packed in sacks for expectation
to China, where the meats are sold for
food and the shells disposed of as a
fertilizer for tea plants, rice, and so
forth. All classes - people in China
eat the meats, although regarding
them as inferior to the native shrimps,
which are comparatively scarce and
proportionately dearer. Both meats
and shells are fed to fowls, with re-
markable reproducing results.
another interesting fishery prose-
cuted by the Chinese on the Pacific
coast is for abalones. These beautiful
univalve mollusks are found along the
rocky shores at low tide, clinging to
the rocks above the water line. Each
shell is slightly lifted, SO that the
fisherman can thrust stick under it
and pry it off; but, if alarmed, the
animal shuts down its valve. that it
can only be removed by breaking it to
pieces. The meats are taken from the
shells and boiled on shore in watts made
of sheet iron. Shells and meats are
then packed in sacks and forwarded to
San Francisco, whence most of the
meats are exported to China and the
shells shipped to France, the latter be-
ing highly valued for their beautiful
mother-of-pearl."

Not The Cow.

The scene of one of my fathers
stories was laid in a southern seaport
town, where long ago general and
an admiral were neighbors. The
generals house was fronted by grass
plot, on which he claimed the right to
pasture COW. One day his wife COM
planned that the supply of milk was
falling short. The sentinel accounted
for the deficiency by saying that the
pasture had lately been much trodden
down by the public. Thereupon the
martial despot gave orders that no
(human or other) animal except the
COW should be allowed on the grass
plot, and added-men were not par
ticular in those days-that if this rule
was infringed the sentinel should be
logged.
So N afterward the admiral's wife,
having pressing engagement, took a

The Marble Bust of Miss A1cott Disap'

We have recently had upon exhibit

recently been visiting in that city
brings back the report of an incident
which happened at studio reception
which the sculptor gave to show his

was heard to remark; "it isn't at all
my idea of the way Miss Alcott looked,
or the way he'd be likely to make a
bust of her."
"Yes," the other assented, cit does
seem strange; but these artists have

"Well, if it is, it is" the first speaker

"Oh, writers are never like what you
think they are going to be, " the friend
observed, philosophically, and the pair
withdrew, persuaded that the Mag

impression of the noble and dignified

THE proposal to repeal the tax on state
banks is being very seriously discussed
by the Democracy, especially South and
West. The Atlanta Constitution, which
strongly advocates the revival OF state
banks. saps "They win give us an ex-
pansive currency that will not drift to
Eastern centres and stay there" There
is more truth than poetry in this obser-
vation. The East has had its fill OF
wildcat currency. What an elegant
opportunity state banks would
afford fnancier of the
Zimri Dwiggins variety to
float his bank notes upon an un-
suspecting world. The East has furnished
the West and South with money to
develop their resources, to open up their
lands TO immigration and settlement, to
place both sections on basis Of pros
perity and progress. The East is the
creditor portion of the country; the
West and South the debtor
portions. The East would hardly
be likely TO accept the "expan-
sive currency" in the shape
of Southern shin-plasters for boarding
purposes. In the conservative and
money-holding East. state banks under
careful banking laws might possibly be
conducted with some degree Of success,
but in, the West and South, the homes
of so many wild financial ventures, no
reliance would or could be placed upon
state banks of issue. The rates Of
exchange would soon place the country
in financial turmoil and confusion,
creating distress to which the recent
financial troubles would be Insignificant
in comparison.
