CAPE COD cRANRERRIEs.
An Important Industry of the Massachu-
setts Coast.

A sand hill, marshy tract, and
running stream, are the three requi-
sites for a cranberry bog. Nowhere
are these things jumbled together in
greater profusion than on Cape Cod,
which in former days supplied the
world with sea captains, SO that it was
tIuthfully related at one time that in
a certain Cape Cod town, an entire
street of seventy houses was taken up
exclusively by the homes of sea cap
tains. This Cape Cod has, with the
decadence of sailing ships, taken upon
itself the right to furnish the world
with nearly all the cranberries used.
To prepare the soil, sand is spread
evenly over the bog to depth of six
inches. In this sand the young plants
are set out, the roots being forced down
through the sand to the loan under
meath. The plants are set out in reg
ular rows, about one foot apart. Three
years are required before the plants
mature.
Sand is valuable in that it furnishes
smooth surface on which the vines may
lie fiat on the sand, and as each plant
has dozens of branches they pile up to
height of about six inches in the ma
tured plants. Sand chokes the growth
of weeds, but does not interfere with
the plants whose roots are in the loan
beneath.
The running stream is damned above
and below the bog, and a system of
bitches irrigates the bog. In time of
frost the bog is usually flooded at night,
nnd drained in the morning. This does
not hurt the berries. but it accounts for
much of the rheumatism on Cape Cod.
. Berry picking begins early in Sep
tember and lasts until either the ber-
ries are all picked or frost has spoiled
the crop. Usually the last of October
ends the work. As all the boys and h
girls are needed in the season the public
schools begin the fall session late to ac-
commodate the pickers. Numerous
machines have been devised to pluck
the berries, but it is claimed that all
ruin the vines. Experiments by persons
skilled in cranberry picking are now be
ing made, and it is believed that a salts
factory machine will be produced. The
champion hand-picker has a record OF
sixty measures in one day. AT the
usual rate of payment, he would make
six dollars per day.
Chief among the enemies of the cram
berry are the angleworm and the fire
worm. The angleworm eats his way
around a small circle, and then eats
within the circle. The fireworm is less
considerate, eating in all directions.
Cranberry bogs are good invest
ments, when the sterility of this land |
is considered. AS Joseph Jefferson re |
marked of his Grows Nest" property: !
Nothing will grow but weeds, and they |
grow wild"
A bog is worth about seven hundred |
dollars per acre. The usual output is |
tightly to one hundred bsrrels per acre,
and the price ranges from seven to
eighteen dollars per barrel.
Salt marshes cannot be used, and the |
sand must be near the bog, to Insure
profitable working. Fancy names are
quite popular, the 'Silver Hill Bog
snd ''Harring Pond Bog" being exam
oles--A. Rodman, in Detroit Free Press.

How He Played the Part of Pretty

In Gothenburg, Sweden, lives an old
woman who, when young and comely,
passed much of her time with titled
relatives in Rome and Vienna Fifty
six years ago she visited Rome. In No
vember she returned to Gothenburg by
way of Berlin, which. although a tiny
capital in those days, passed as one of
the lions of central Europe She knew
nobody in Berlin, but the relatives she
had been with in Rome had a cousin in
the university, who was informed by
letter that the young woman was COM
ing and he must meet her and show
her the sights.

A HEROIC SOCIETY GIRL.
Braves the Shame of Patrol Wagon Ride

Braves the Shame of . Patrol Wagon Ride
to Please a Little Boy.
She was not only herself a member
of that society which considers itself
entitled to a capital letter, but her
family had been members thereof in
good and regular standing for at least
three generations. She was shopping
on State street one bright midsummer
morning, when a crowd at Washing
ton street attracted her attention.
Being curious, she investigated that
crowd. She found in the center there
of a small boy sobbing bitterly. under
the guardianship of two big policemen.
To her horror she recognized in the
small boy her cousins little son.
The little fellow had slipped and
broken or sprained his ankle. He
knew where he lived, but he could not
get there. The policeman had sent for
the patrol wagon, the only vehicle at
their command, for the little sufferer.
The child was in perfect agony at
the prospect of being carried off in a
patrol wagon by two policemen. The
society girl interfered. She told tine
policeman this was her nephew; she
told them where he lived. The ad-
dress corresponded to that which the
little fellow had himself given them.
"I'll get cab and take him home"
said the society girl A reasonable
suggestion enough, surely-but the po-
had sent for the patrol wagon and
some one must have ride in it II
was not to be ordered out for nothing.
They could not let the child go home
in a cab. We'll take him where you
say he lives, lady, but he must go with
u.s."
The patrol wagon came. The child
was almost convulsed with terror. He
implored the society girl not to let tn
policemen take him. The policemen
were obdurate. Finally the society
girl gave up. WELL" she said, ''if he
must go home in patrol wagon I'll &C
home in 1t too" So they lifted the
small boy in and the society girl
climbed in after him, and the police
men mounted guard on each side.
And thus it happened the few so.

A Court Deciaes That Dogs Cry.

Does dog cry? This knotty ques-
tion has occupied one of the civil courts
under these circumstances: A certain
gentleman rented a handsome set of
rooms, and the lease contained a clause
interdicting the tenant from keeping
animals which cry. 1t happened that
a friend sent the gentleman two little
dogs from Mexico. The arrival of the
animals led to notice being served on
their owner for breach of the terms of
the lease, and the matter had to be
settled by legal argument The de-
fendant insisted that Pipo and Pipa,
as his dogs were called, weighed only
twelve ounces apiece, and their bark
was correspondingly diminutive; but
counsel for the plaintiff contended that
dwarfs were known to be bad-tem-
pered, and very small dogs were no ex-
ception, and were inclined to be quar-
relsome and noisy. In ordinary lam
guage, their whimpering might be
called crying. The court took the
same view, and Pipo aud Pipa had to
find another home in twenty-four
hours, or subject their master to pen
atty of five francs for each days delay.

with an air of assurance. The music

stepped up to the desk. He was the
