The shrimp sold in the city are
caught during the night before by
casters" who go, two in a boat, to
some favored locality and there east
all night long for the delicious little
crustacean that is served up at nearly
every breakfast table in the city in the
morning. Casting" is the throwing
widespread on the water of a circular
net, the edge of which is weighted with
leaden balls and provided with draw
ing strings which, passing through the
center of the net, are attached to the
edges. The net when cast in the water,
of course, sinks more rapidly at the
edges than in the middle. and confines
within its meshes the shrimpS over
which it may have fallen. The rope to
which is attached the drawing string
being pulled. the net closes at the bot
tom and is lifted into the boat with its
contents. When aurora begins his
work of tinting the eastern sky. those
hardy casters are on their way to the
city. Here they hand over their booty
to men who carry them about the
streets, measuring the shrimps out to
them from their boats by the plates
or pan, the seller agreeing to sell the
shrimpS and hand over the proceeds,

A story is told in central Maine of a
young woman who distanced pater-

parental authority: Now, Mary

condition. 'What is that?" asked

''I'll promise" said the maid, and she
went to the dance.

promised me not to let that fellow
bring you home?" said the angry par
ent, with fire flashing from his eyes.
''He didn't bring ms home" said Mary
Jane, archly. 'Buthe came home with

Even the Poorest Manages to Have q
Cheerful Little Furnace.
The Coreans may be very uncivil-
lied people, but it is said they know
something about warming their houses
Even the meanest of their abodes is
furnished with furnace, called kang,
which, while very primitive, is ex-
tremely effective and embodies all the
best points of the most approved con-
trivance for house-warming. The
furnace, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, is situated at one side of the
house, or generally at one end.
1t burns with a down draught, and
the heat and smoke are conveyed
through numerous fues under the
mud floors to chimney at the opposite
side of the building. No smoke or foul
air gets into the house, and the floors
are kept very warm. It is said that a
small fire of brushwood in the furnace
will thoroughly heat large house. In
fact the only fault that is found with
Corean house-heating is that it is too
effective, and the diseases of the people
are largely due to their keeping their
houses too hot. Indoors they are ac-
customed to maintain temperature of
seventy OF. eighty degrees while out
side the weather is at zero or below.

SOUTHERN SQUIRREL HUNTERs
Primitive Habits and Customs of LouisI-

Primitive Habits and Customs of LoufsI-
ana Nimrods-
81 have been among the squirrel hunt
ers, said a gentleman who had just re-
turned from his vacation, according to
the New Orleans sTimes-Democrat The
squirrel hunters are a peculiar people
inhabiting sthe southwestern couRtie:
of Mississippi and adjoining Louisiana
parishes. They have been living there
for generations and preserve the prin-
tive customs and habits of their fore
fathers.
THE squirrel hunter is doubtless a de-
scendant of Kentucky settlers, for they
are all tall, stately people,-and great
lovers of the hunt. But there is now
little large game to be found, and SO they
spend their time hunting the squirrel,
which is also scarce. The squirrel
hunters are farmers, but raise little ex-
cept corn. The rine-hil1 region, where
they live, is not penetrated by rail
roads, and there are hundreds of such
people who have never seen steam
engine. 1 saw a great many of the
oldest squirrel hunters of the country,
and found them to be very strange
looking people. They all wear long
hair, which often reaches down to
their belts. Their boards. too, are
long, often matted with their hair
They wear homespun pantaloons and
homemade shoes. Their shirts are
oftcntimes made from the skins of
squirrels, which they wear in the win
ter, while in summer they wear an
open blouse shirt, also of home make
Their houses are made of pine logs, be-
tween which mud is placed as plas-
tering- These houses are covered with
pine boards split from the woods
There are never any Enclosures about
their homes, their yards opening out
into the pine forest.
''These squirrel hunters, while they
have no churches, are very religious
people, though great deal of supersti-
ton is connected with their worship
Their churches are made of boughs of
pine, placed upon scaffolding, to keep
out the sun. Now and then country
revival is held in these arbor-houses,
but this is seldom

But the Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally

The obstinacy which is said to be
characteristic of the Scotch is illus
trated in the following story, which
was recently related to writer for the
New York Advertiser: ''My father
said the narrator, .''came over about
seventy-five years ago and settled in
Michigan, which, in that part at any
rate, was a semi-wilderness. AS the
country grew more settled my father,
from the mere fact of his having been
pioneer, became very prominent in
civic affairs in the community. He
was very conscientious, but extremely
impatient of contradiction, never un-
derstanding why a person could dis
agree with him, when he was so plain
ly correct in his position. Well, one
night, contrary to his usual custom, he
did not come homo to supper. Eight
o'clock came and the whole family was
in bed and still he had not arrived 1T
was after one o'clock in the morning
that his heavy step was heard on the
stairs. My mother, who had been
anxious, met him with light in her
hand
g Where have you been?' she asked,
looking at him seriously.

"'Why did you stay so late?'
Stay so late? There were eleven
obstinate devils on that jury and it
took me all night to convince thera. "
