THE WATERMELON NET.
Convenient Continuance for Carr
rying Home the Massive Fruit.


rying Home the Massive Fruit.
From the New York Sun.
The invention of the watermelon net
was due primarily TO a change in the
shape Of watermeIons. Years ago the
great majority of watermeIons were much
longer than they were thick. Then when
a man carried home the watermelon
which he had bought the dealer took a
turn around one end of it with a stout
cord, carried the cord along to the other
end and took another turn there, and the
connecting length OF the cord between
the loops served as a handle. while the
shape of the melon kept the loops from
slipping off. But with the change of the
melon to the shorter, chubbier shape now
prevailing this plan was no longer posi-
Bile, and so the net came in six or eight
years ago.
The watermelon nets are made OF a 1ute
twine called melon twine- They are OF
one size. They are big enough for any
melon, and with a small melon in a net
1t is easy to take up the slack. They are
made altogether by hand. at odd times,
by people accustomed to net making.
They are sold at wholesale at 81 a hun
dred. The melon dealer used to charge
five gents for a net, but now most dealers
give the nets away.
Notwithstanding their bulk many mel
ons are carried home by the purchaser.
The suburban resident may spot a par
ticularly fine melon and take it right
along with him in a net; a man living
in the city may do the same thing. What
ever the circumstances under which a
man wants to take a melon with him the
net is great convenience; 1t beats car
rying the watermelon under the arm out
Of sight
But while many melons are thus car
ried in the course OF the season, still the
greater majority of watermelons are sent
home just like other things, and so after
all the sale Of watermelon nets amounts
10 only a few thousands annually.

ON the Boards.


Buffalo, N Y, Aug 1S.-Jim Corbett
and McVey, his sparring partner, created
considerable excitement at the Lyceum
boxing carnival tonight by giving an ex-
hibition that was not down on the pro-
gramme. During the second round of the
bout Corbett made a punching bag out of
McVey, and the latter in a spirit of re-
sentiment attempted to clinch and throw
the champion, at the same time hurting
vile epithets at him. Corbett pushed Nc
Vey to one side with the remark that if it
was fight he was after he would be salts
fed in the next round. When time was
called, Corbett, pale as a ghost, sprang to
the center Of the stage with the quickness
of cat and pounded McVey all over the
stage. The round was cut short by the
master of ceremonies, and the two pugil-
lists retired to their respective dressing
rooms.

steed with a name like Sioux warrior
and tail like pirates banner; true
creature of the bunchgrass hills with
graceful limbs, supple and muscular
body and an Unborn sense of freedom
that we'll became his long American
pedigree. He led all right for awhile,
but the rope around his neck was to HIM
"a token of slavery and degradation.

This morning Mr.. Hanna coming in
from Chenowith creek discovered that
someone had scattered saltpeter along
the road, with the evident intention of
destroying such sheep as should be
driven over it. The saltpeter was
in unusually large pieces, and Mr..
Hanna picked up about two pounds of it.
A little inquiry developed the fact THAT a
certain person living down that way had
purchased four pounds of saltpeter yes
terday, and there does not seem to be
any doubt, owing to the remarkable size
of the crystals, but that the pieces picked
up by Mr.. Hanna were portion of that
lot.
