number of correct answers, and was a
mammoth ball of popcorn, was given
to Mrs. l.. H. Bancroft. During the

1t remains yet to be seen what our
law makers will do in regard to a
farm and dairy for the State prison
and other institutions If there was
farm started with model dairy and
creamery attached it could make up
all the butter and cheese needed by
other institutions, which in itself
would be a great improvement on
what is being obtained at present.
Then there would be the growth of
the young stock which in few years
would become good income in itself.

ruary issue Of McClure's Magazine,
although the editors did not receive
the poem until after the Magazine
was on the press. The frontispiece
was taken out, and the poem printed
in its place. The poem is not only
important, but is of considerable
length. Kipling's short stories in
McClure's Magazine have turned out
to be the most successful fiction
series that the publishers have ever
secured. The January number is out

pictures are of the finest and most
ornate garden, and show the striking
effects to be obtained by grouping

service to those who aspire to have
gardens of their own, for the sugges-

STATE LEAGUE GOSSIP.

The crucial period in state league
baseball affairs has passed and judging
from present indications the league is
more firmly established than at any
other time The Norwich club has at
last been put on a firm basis and it is
thought by the directors that everyone
of the eight clubs will finish the sea-
son.
The crowds at the games are getting
larger and the managers of the various
teams are beginning to feel that they
wont have to dive SO very far down in
their own pockets or in the pockets of
others, when the season closes.
The article of baseball put up by the
clubs during the last week has been
notceably good, especially among the
teams fighting for second place. Bristol,
Waterbury, New London, and Derby
are putting up a hot fight for second
place and are well punched. Derby
took a fall yesterday from third to fifth
round on the ladder. New London and
Waterbury each went up notch. Nor
witch is not far behind Derby and If
that team keeps up the fast playing
that has marked it's work lately it wont
be many days before second or third
place is reached.
The batting and fielding of the teams
are as follows:

THE CoREAN PEARL FISHERIES.

THE COREAN PEARL FISHERIES.
of Quelpart writer in the Corean Re-
pository says the diving for the pearl
oysters found off that island is entirely
done by women Dressed in a kind of
bathing-suit, with a sickle in one hand
and a gourd with bag tied to it in
front of them, they swim out from the
shore as far as half mile-boats cam
not be afforded--and there dive, proba-
bly, depth of forty or fifty feet, to the
bottom, cut the weeds with the sickle,
or, if they find O. pearl oyster, tear it off
from the stone, and then put it into the
bag which is kept floating by the gourd.
They do not go back before the bag is
filled, which often takes more than half
an hour. Although they are magnificent
swimmers, one cannot help admiring
their endurance when he thinks that
this work is begun as early as February
The pearl oyster Is both used on the
island and exported. 1t is very large,
some measuring ten inches in diameter,
and very f1eshy, Unlike other oysters,
it has only one shell, which is often used
by the Coreans as an ash-tray, and from
which mother of-pearl Is obtained.
Covered with This shell as with a roof,
the oyster lives fastened to rock. Its
meat is considered a luxurious dish, and
one oyster costs as much as six cents on
the island. Pearls are but seldom found
in the oyster For export, the oysters
are torn out Of the SHE'LL the intestine
bag cut off the meat cleaned, dried and
strung on thin sticks. Although white
when fresh, the color changes to dark
red, like that Of a dried apricot. They
can be seen displayed in the native gro
cery-shops in Seoul, fiat reddish discs Of
about four or five inches in diameter,
fastened by tens, with thin stick stuck
through them.
