rs cents to one dollar per day through
the season. The experienced picker
works on her knees, unmindful of the
wet moss which soaks her garments.
She thrusts her hands through the moss
and vines, lifting up the whole mass
and rapidly stripping off the berries
with dexterous movement acquired
by much practice. The sight of long
line of men and women, half a hundred
in group, making their way on hands
and knees across the level field is pic
turesque in the extreme, an effect
heightened by the tattered and varie-
gated attire of the workers.
AS fast as the berries are gathered by
the pickers they are measured out by
the "boss," and unless they are to go at
once to market are packed away in boxes
for storage. The packing is done in
what is called "chaff," the moss and
leaves picked up in the field, in boxes
with Slated sides to allow free circula-
tion of the air. In this way the berry
'sweats" without decaying, and will
keep for a long time.
When the berries are to be marketed
they are screened. The screen is like
an old7fashioned tanning mill and
serves the double purpose of removing
the chaff and sorting the berries. Be-
meath the hopper into which the berries
are poured are a number of steps lead.
ing down like flight of stairs with
openings between them. The chaff is
blown out at the side, and as the Der.
ries fall from the hopper they bound
from one step to another until they
receptacles placed there to receive them
Tie hardest berries will bound more
than the others, and run the whole
course of the steps, falling into the last
box, while the softer ones drop through
the nearer spaces, and in this way the
berries are easily graded. The softer
ores are shipped to the nearest markets
for immediate sale, and the hardest ones
are sent abroad or to distant points.
Cranberries are not injured by freez
ing, and so it is an easy matter to ship
them in cold weather. They are often
sent as far as Manitoba in ordinary
open box cars. When they arrive they
are frozen into solid blocks of ice. The
sides of the cases are knocked OFF, and
the berries are exposed in a solid mass
like cakes of ice, except that they are
much more beautiful from their rich rec
color. They are chopped off exactly like
ice, and the citizen of Winnipeg is sc
accustomed to buying his cranberries Ell
bloc that he doesn't mind. in the least
though an easterner would probably
object to taking them in that way
thinking, in his prejudiccd mind, thai
the berries are spoiled.

Tomorrow will be military day al

dition for running. The prize is $40,

woman who was not royal. The king
changed his sons title to Count Wis
borg and gave him an estate on the
island of Gottland. The name of the
estate is Fridhem. The former Miss
Munk has lately been received into the
warmest favor of Queen Sophia, who is
herself most religious and who made
her daughter-in-law maid of honor. The
withdrawal of the former prince and
his wife from court is the elimination
of a long-drawn-out disturbance in the
Swedish court, and may mean the per-
manent separation of the count from
his royal family. He was created an
admiral of the navy at the recent ju-
bilee and at once proposed the abolition
of the sailors grog. It is said that the
queen has Endorsed all of the religious
antics of her son and his wife. To cap
the climax, Prince Carl of Denmark and
his recently-wedded spouse, Princess
Ingeborg, announced that they would
visit the Swedish court. Count Wisborg,
knowing the proclivities of Carl to wild
gayety in the nature of parties and
lively times generally, quailed at the
prospect, and decided the only way out
of it was to show his intense disappro-
baton of worldliness by proclaiming
his intention to flee from the court for
ever. His wife heartily sympathizes
with her husband, and both are ap-
plauded by the queen. 1t is not likely
that the prince will reconsider his de-
termination. But Prince and Princess
Carl will have a good time in Stock
holm before the winter season is over.

CRANBERRIES EN- BLOC.
The Succulent Berry Frozen and
Sold by the Pound.
Five Hundred Thousand Barrels of
the Red Fruit Are Grown Every
Season Near Cape Cod
and in Jersey.

Turkey and cranberry sauce! By
force of long association and the eter-
nal fitness of things the two go natur-
ally together. To make turkeys more
palatable 100000 barrels of cranberries
are raised on the marshes of Cape Cod
and New Jersey.
The business of raising cranberries,
SAYS the Louisville Courier-Journal, is
peculiar one in all it's aspects. 1t re-
quires a special kind of ground, con-
siderable capital and vast deal of
labor, and it is a special trade, more
or less irregular in its returns, like all
of its kind. 1t is the chief industry Of
two sections of this country, where
nearly all the cranberries used in Amer
lea and Europe are raised, and which
it has transformed from waste bog
lands into rich farming communities.
The land on which cranberries will
flourish is seldom fit for anything else.
In the state in which it is usually found
it requires about $500 per acre to make
it fit so that the transformation of
swamp into productive cranberry bog
makes it a very valuable piece Of prop
erty. The first requirement is a peat
bottom. This is dressed by spreading
over it coating of seashore sand, into
which the slips are stuck and left to
grow at their own sweet will. In com
nection with the bog there should be an
irrigating ditch or reservoir, from
which it can be flooded at any time 1t
requires several years to determine the
worth of a march for producing cram
berries, and the slowness of returns to-
gether with the amount of capital re-
quired have brought all the largest
marshes into the control of stock COM
panies.
1t requires hand labor throughout to
raise cranberries. The chief expense
once the crop is started is the pick
ing, which is largely performed by
women and children, who receive from
one to one and half cents per quart
for the work. and are able to earn from

The water Of the sea is a perfect
brine, and no decomposition can take
place in any organic substance inn
mersed in it. This fact, which is not
generally known, is a marvellous
illustration Of the wise provision of
nature for rendering the earth habi-
table. So vast is the amount Of
animal life in the ocean, if the sea
water did not perfectly preserve all
organic matter it contained, in the
course Of a century or two the oceans
would become masses of putrid
substances. the nauseous exhalations
from which would make life impos-
sible. under present conditions, on
any part of the globe.
