Chinese Jewellers.

There are two jewelers. in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not resemble
the ordinary places known as jewelry
shops. The Chinese jeweler is manu-
facturer as well as shopkeeper. His
establishment H. tiny room up one or
two narrow flights Of stairs. The room
in one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and coun-
ter near the window, where the jeweler
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
over O tiny fire in the window. All his
work il done by hand, and some OF 1t ID
beautiful. There are heavy silver brace
lets, which open with hinge and fasten
with AN odd little staple. The fine rails
ed pattern is cut out, every bit OF 1t, by
hand There are gold Rugs made in the
same way. They are fine rings, made OK
"a carat gold. Almost nothing is kept
in stock. There may chance to be few
rings and bracelets, which are taken
from small safe. Most Of the goods
are made to order, When the manufac-
turer is asked the price OF ring, he
weighs it before he answers. His scales
consist Of slender stick Of ivory, per-
haps third Of yard long, covered
with Chinese characters. At one end is
q small brass plate suspended from the
stick by fine threads, and very small
weight, also hanging by thread, is
moved along to the balancing point by

chine in his hand The front part OF the
little shop is filed with a stove, table.

DigestiDle Women.
An extraordinary discussion on the
subject of cannabaIism took place at the
recent meeting of the Ethnographical
society in Paris A curious tribute was

A member Of the society read paper
in which he declared that among savage
nations those who were addicted to can.
nibalism we.e the most healthy and
vigorous. Kc sought to prove this by
descriptions Of several races.
This argument was directed partly
against vegetarianism, for savages who
abstain from eating one another usually
have a meager supply Of animal food.
The scientist further made the shock.
ing statement that the flesh Of women
was much more nutritious and digesti.

tribes recognized this fact and ate only
women when the supply was sufficient.

A Long Island Lobster Pond.

An interesting place to visit is the lob
ster pond on Friendship Long Island, con-
Quoted by W. F. Levensaler of Waldoboro.
A representative of the News enjoyed a
lobster dinner with the proprietor Tues
day, and was shown over the premises.
The dam of the old tide mill has been re-
built and the natural basin makes an excel
lent place for storing the delicious shell
fish which are fast becoming zone of
the luxuries of the table. Last year at
this time Mr.. Levensaler had over twenty
five thousand Holsters in the pond, but
owing to their increasing scarcity he has
not more than half that number at pres
ent. Mr.. Levensaler' devotes the most of
his time to this business. He also raises
chickens quite extensively. Some time
ago he placed in the pond several barrels
of oysters and scallops with the idea of
finding out if these could be successfully
raised in this section. Lincoln County

One of the officers in Reno's command

services during the memorable fight on
Reno's hill: 1.-The afternoon of the 18th,
all night, throughout the 10Th, the night
OF that date. and until the forenoon of the
9th, DR.. Porter worked as few men are
ever called upon to work. He had no idea
that he would get out alive, and believed
every man around him was doomed. Still
he was the same cool and skillful surgeon
that he is to-day. He had a duty to per-
form that seldom falls to a man of 2G, and
yet be performed it nobly. He was sur
rounded by the dead, dying and wounded.
Men We're crying for water, for help, for
relief, for life. For twenty four hours
there was no water. The sun was blazing
hot. the dead horses were sickening, the
air heavy with a hundred smells, the bull
lets thick, the men falling, and the bluffs
for miles around black with jubilant saw
ages. The work of the others was not
like Porter's. He must know no fear, no
trembling, no rest. He had every agoniz-
ing sight before his eyes. The afternoon
of the 26th, when the Indians ceased their
firing and began to move off, there were
around Porter on the ground fifty wound
ed. One in every three was either killed
or manned. know little of hospital his

others fought. AS soon as one of these
soldiers was killed, by moving blankets
and yelling the horses were stampeded,

Eleven Indians were killed on Reno's
