Frawns Dried by the Sun In Mexico

In many delicateSSen stores the bon

the New York Evening Post STEPPED
over night in warm water, they swell
to twice and thrice their original di-
mansions, and in the morning are
ready to be made the basis of a score
of toothsome dishes. Nearly all of
these come from the Gulf of Mexico
and their story is an interesting COM
mentary upon the thrift and enter
prise Of our Chinese citizens. Some
fifteen or twenty years ago, said a
Chinese merchant to-day, some Chi
nese sailors in New Orleans noticed
that the gulf prawns were like those of
south China, only larger and better
favored. They carried the news to
their countrymen. who Immediately
conceived the project of drying them
in the same way as in Kwang-Tung.
They organized several settlements
along the gulf. There Is one not far
from Mobile. a second near Pensacola
and third in the Tampa district. The
prawns are gathered at low tide. wash
ed, boiled, shelled, sailed, and then
dried in the sunlight. In bad weather
they often use ovens, but the flavor OF
a prawn treated this way is not as
good as when dried in the open air.
The drying must be very thorough and
usually takes q week or a fortnight.

in the air When thoroughly deSic-
Gated the soft meat is almost as hard
as wood, and in that condition will
keep in a warm climate for many
months, and in a cold climate for
several years. They are boxed and
barreled and shipped all over the
United States. Formerly the dried
shrimps and prawns of this market
were brought from China and Japan,
but the import trade has been we'll
nigh ruined by these establishments

EAKERS AS DUPES.
Chicago Faker Guils Those of His
Own Class

When a street faker' dupeS per-
son it is nothing unusual, but when
he deceives another "faker" it is some
thing out of the ordinary. A Chicago
street faker" saw an advertisement
which read:
Good nickel-plated watches sold for
30 cents upiece No. - State street. ="
The 'faker." discerning new
scheme lost no time in going down
town and purchased twenty-five
watches. Next morning the 'faker'
took train for a small town down in
Illinois and had the following adver-
tisement inserted in the country pa
per:
"Founs-Silver watch, owner can
have same by paying two dollars re-
ward. No questions asked"
The next day all the country takers
for miles around called, one at time,
on the Chicago "faker" at his hotel.
Il come to redeem my watch" said
each '.faker" as he came in. The
watches looked genuine, and thinking
they had a good thing" gladly gave
up 81. AS soon as he had disposed of
all his watches the Chicago "faker"
took the next train back home with
lots of money in his pocket and the
satisfaction of having duped those of
his own class.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

including the hospital, the workshops.
the laundry and the kitchens, and visit
ed every one of the large rooms and
almost every cell. In all these I saw
but two things to find fault with-the
practice of herding together criminals
of all ages, tried and untried, and the
long time-in some cases amounting
to two years-which many of the pris-
oners spend there before their cases
are finally Judged. This latter evil is
caused partly by the great difficulty of
collecting evidence from many parts of
Siberia, but chiefly because the central
authorities do not provide magistrates
enough TO cope with the numbers of
those arrested.

Nevada lost in population during the

states ia the union have approached so

ten years was only 42,400, or a trifle
less than per cent. Nebraska makes
