RESCUED A CHILD.
Warren QuiCk's PromptDcss Saves
the Life ola Little One,

tHc t4lle Oh Il kiItle one,
The attention of Warren Quick, who
is employed at Fowler & Bronsons $
MILL was aroused by loud screams
from a child near the Delaware and
Hudson canal bank in the rear of Van
Bergen & Co. 5 store on Sunday after
noon. He fastened to the place and
saw that a little child had fallen into
the rapid current, and would soon be
carried under the store, as the water
flows beneath the building.
Mr.. Quick plunged into the water
and brought the child out. The little
one had fallen from the narrow plank
that crosses the canal, and her sister
gave the alarm. The child was taken
in an exhausted condition to the par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Aiellams Of
the West Side Italian settlemen and a
physician summoned. 1t was some
time before treatment was efectual,
but the child is now thought to be in
a fair condition for recovery. AS the
canal is now deep and very rapid, only
the promptness of Mr.. Quick saved
the child from drowning.

There are three motions in shuck-
ing oysters-picking up the oyster,
hitting it with the hammer, opening
the shell and throwing ont the meat.
The last motion is a continuous one.
An expert inserts his knife into the
shell, cuts the oyster loose as he does
it, and throws it into the receiving
pail without removing the blade of the
Knife. 1t is necessary TO avoid cut
ting the oyster as the operator opens
the shell, and to try and prevent par.
ticles of the she'll from getting into
the pail. The pail used is always a
large one, and when it is full it is
turned over to q person called the
SKINNER" who measures the guam
tlty and gives q check for the amount.
A sklllful opener can open anywhere
from five to seven hundred oysters
per hour, although it all depends On
the kind of oysters. A small fiat oys-
ter is hard to open, and it takes time,
and it is a great strain on the wrist to
get them open. Such an oyster re-
quires lots of patience, and it would
take a good shucker an hour to open
one hundred.
1t does not require a great deal Of
strength of wrist to open oysters.
There is 'knack" or "sleight'' about
the business, and when the peculiar
twist or wrench the shuckers have is
acquired, you have the secret OF the
trade. 1t is q trick of the trade re-
curing considerable practice before
the operator becomes proficient
As a rule the shuckers are paid BY
the thousand oysters opened, and the
price ranges from 80 cents to 81. A
first class shucker can, if he gets plenty
of work, make Sc a day. But to do
this he must work early and late
