THE OLD HARPooNER.
Dit Of the pasipy That Has Gone Out OF
Whaling Life.

A<atSs
The gallant seaman who in all the
books stands in tho Prov of whaling
boat waving Il harpoon over his head,
with the line shaking cut into the air
behind him, is only to be found now in
Paternoster row. The Greenland seas
have not known him for mere than !,
hundred years, since first the obvious
proposition was advanced that one could
shpet both harder and more accurately
than one could throw. The swivel gun.
like Il huge horse pistol, with its great
eakum wad and 90 drains of powder, is
q more reliable but far less pictur.
esque object.
But to aim with such gun is an art
in itself, as will be seen when one con-
siders that the rope is fastened to the
neck of harpoon, and that as tho mia,
sile flies the downward drag of this rope
must seriously defect it. So difficult is
ii to make sure of ones aim, that it is
the etiquette of the trade to pull tho
boat right onto the creature, the prov
shooting up its soft, gently sloping side
and the harpoorer firing straight down
into its broad back. into which not only
the foHr foot harpoon but 10 feet Of tho
pope bchinl it will disappear. Then,
should the whale cast its tail in the air
after the time honoFad fashion of the
nictaFes, that boat would be In evil case,
bat fortunately when frightened or hurt
1t does no such thing, but curls its tail
up underneath it, like cowed dog. and
sinks like stone. Then the bows
splash back into the water. ii.e narpoon.
er hugs his 9,.a soul, the crew light
.neir pipes and keep their legs apart,
while the line runs merrily down the
middle of the boat and over the bows.
There are two miles of it there, and d
second boat will lie alongside ia splieu
on if the first SHOULD Iun short, the end
aeing always kept loose for that pur-
pose. And now occurs the one serious
danger of whaling. The lire has usu-
ally been coiled when it was wet. and
as it runs ont it is very liable 10 come
in loops, when whiz down the boat
netween the mems legs. A man lassoed
in one Of these nooses is gone and fifty
fathoms deep before the harpooner has
time to say, Where's Jock!" Or il it
be the boat itself which is eaAghi ihsa

The Canning Factory.


In this year Of panic and depression
in the industrial world. if is pleas
ure to witness the scene of activity
displayed in the factory of our newest
enterprise--the Berkeley County Can
ming Company A Herald represen-
ttative, on a stroll out Winchester av-.
enue, was amazed, in passing the
goodly-sized cannery building, by
prominently displayed sign, No Adj
mittance Even on Business. Disre-
garding this evidently necessary no
tice, we entered the portals and found
ourselves in the presence of the man
ayers, Messrs. c. II. Miller and G. w.
Cushwa. who, with the assistance of
the clerk. Mr.. Bert Boak, engaged to
perform the Office duties. resulting
from the employment Of about sixty
hands Of both sexes. A tour around
the cannery proper disclosed an inter-
esting and busy scene. and the me-
thodical precision with which all
hands were performing the different
processes, conveys to the mind ali i'm
preston of an old established business
rather than all industry as yet, an ex-
pertinent in this county.
Inquiry ELECTED the information that
the contracts entered into with nearby
farmers, resulted in the planting Of
$50 acres in tomatoes and 100 acres of
sweet corn. The promoters contract
ed to pay IS cents per bushel for to-
matoes, which, owing to the dry sea-
son, the pack of tomatoes has not yet
reached its height, nor is the crop
more than one half as great as would
have resulted from favorable season.
In its initial year they are packing
only tomatoes and corn, and haze al
ready put up about 400 cases, of two
dozen each, of tomatoes, and nearly as
much corn and have not reached the
height of the season.
1t is the intention to increase both
the output and variety of products
next season, which will result in
larger market aor our fruit ard vegc-
table crops and the employment of
more help.
The average wages earned by the
boys, girls. and men are much better
than those paid by the canneries on
the eastern shore of Maryland, and
the solidity and honesty OF pack cam
not help but give the product o the
Berkeley County factory reputation
exceeded by no other brand on the
market. The purchaser Of can Of to
nlatoes or corn OF the home brand will
get value received and then some.
The daily earnings of the women
and girls engaged in peeling vary
from fifty cents to Sl.25 per day, de-
pending upon their own efforts, as
they are paid by the hushel The
timers, packers, and other hands re-
eeiye fair wages per day. Thus it will
be seen the pluck and nerve Of the
promoters of this industry will result
in incalculable benefits to the town
and county in distributing at home
the money heretofore paid to packers
in adjoining States. Our farmers
should study well the advantages of
fered and the ultimate result must be
A departure fran the old rat Wherein
tie cereals, SO largely and disadvan-
tagously grown, will give away to a
more varied crop and consequent f.
nancial gain.
