dish-the cover. the dish itself, and.

put on in script in preference to the
block letters. The lettering is usual

for six months in the year, but he kept
the process hidden even from his work

or he confded the secret 20 his sons
before his death, the canning plant will
have to be shut down and nobody may
ever know why its proprietor succeed
ed where others failed
Mr.. McMenamin went 20 Virginia
from Massachusetts in ISIS. While
working as a clerk for Mayor White
head, Of Norfolk, it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing It's flavor and Mayor
Whitehead helped him TO establish a
small cannery at Hampton. In time the
small cannery was replaced with a big
ger one, but never has the big one been
able 70 meet all the demands upon II
for canned crab meat.

-Four Dollars Each Received by a
Maine Lad Who Caught some
Of the birds.

Last February, when the tempera-
ture held at zero for week at a
time and the snow was falling every
other day, Hector Sanborn, aged IS,
set horsehair snares about his home
and caught more than two dozen pine
grosheal<s. Most of them were fe-
males. says a report from Dexter, Me.
He kept the birds in n large, open
and well-lighted room at the rear Of
the barn and fed them on seeds and
refuse fruit. While the weather con
tinued cold the birds were most
healthy and took kindly 20 the new
way OF life, becoming fat and frisky,
with nothing 10 do but eat and sleep.
In March several pairs mated, built
nests and began 10 lay eggs, and by
April / the boy had secured "a fine
specimens.
Then the spring weather came and
caused the birds 70 have commissions,
from which nearly one-half died.
Finding that ne would be unable 10
keep his pets through the summer,
young Sanborn liberated the sur
viyors. allowing them 70 90 north and
seek more congenial temperature.
The boy has received an offer OF
four dollars for every pine grosbealS
EGG ne could spare. He az once
shipped 80 TO the Boston naturalist
who wished 10 complete collection
Of rare eggs, and few days ago he
received check for Sl20. If next
winter proves TO be cold enough 10
drive the grosbeaks 10 Maine the boy
can see big fortune on easy terms.

NIGHT AMONG WHARF CATS.
when Darkness Comes There Is Much
Noise and Many BATTLES Along
the water Front.

IL is astonishing how many outcasts
OF the feline family inhabit the
wharyes bordering on the harbor basin
of Baltimore, says the Sun Of that city.
Along every line of docks on the wa
ter front a band of cats, both large and.
small, have adopted the surroundings
as their homes, and nightly come forth
10 wage war upon the venturesome
tom Of an adjoining elan who has inn
prudently ventured into the enemy's
country.
The cats rarely venture from their
lairs during daylight, but AZ nightfall,
when traffic is suspended, the water
fronts are alive with the fitting forms
and the air is resonant with the voicing
Of their seemingly numerous troubles.
Men whose business takes them
along the water front at night tell
many stories OF feline battles. One Of
the most characteristic is OF two cats
approaching rat, each unknown TO
the other, and springing upon il al the
same time. The rat escapes and the
cats fight until ore falls dead and the
other limps away.
Another story illustrates the adept
ness Of eats in water. The overturning
Of a loose board throws three kittens
and their parents into the dock. The
mother swims 20 safety with one kit
ten on her back and another In her
mouth. The father follows with the
third kitten in his mouth.
