Round Radishes, for Instance, Are
Most Favored i'm New York.
Pearson's Magazine

Fashion has rot a little to do with the
demand, and therefore with the consump-
ton Of certain vegetables. Take green
peas. for instance. The variety known
as "Champion" large, fat and fine
favored-has generally been in good de-
mand among the masses OF New Workers;
but the French chefs at the great hotels
and restaurants have decreed that they
don't look WE'LL; so latteriy the small,
intensely green peas called French =
the better-have grown in favor, and the
commission men say that it is almost i'm
possible 10 sell any other sort TO the fine
trade nowadays.

commonly served in Paris and other con-
tinental cities. and forthwith New YORK
began to taboo the fingers and TO de-
mand the round variety.
The round radishes have an enormous
consumption in New York In the spring.
summer and early fall the supply is al
dens, and single lots of thousand and
more barrels each are not infrequently dis
posed of in the early hours of the morn
ing. i is estimated that the barroomS OF
the metropolis of all grades-approximate
ly eight thousand in number-give away
daily in the summertime with their free
lunches not less than 100000 punches OF
radishes. They are inexpensive, and their
'turnipy" flavor, together with the dry
salt with which they are commonly served
ducers of thirst. The round radishes given
away daily in New York, according to one
enthusiastic commission man, would car
pet Central Park two inches deep.

The hired man has toilsomely grunted
down the the field wheeling his seed pota-
toes in barrow. The Italian woman
who is succeeding the hired man on the
Massachusetts farm sets the heavy sack
on her head aud trudgeS away 10 the
plowed piece.
The hired man growls about the
weather, the grub, the beds and everything
of his growing is of the harmless variety.
but he has always esteemed the right TO
growl an inalienable one. But the new,
improved growl-less variety" as the Mas
SachuSettS farmers are calling the Italian
woman, takes all that comes TO her with a
bovine sort of calm and with smiles in
stead of the particularly black sort OF
scowls that have characterized the fea-
lures of the disconnected hired man.
Any Massachusetts, farmer will tell the
inquirer that for years the hired man has
been growing scarcer. Most laboring men
prefer cities, ana in these days most men
of fair amount of wit have a trade.
SO 1t has at last got to the pitch where
the average laborer takes a job on a farm
only when he can get nothing else to do,
and is always on the lookout for a place
somewhere i'll town. 1t IS thus that the
Italian woman substitute for the Yankee
hired man has come into her place.
Last year several market gardeners ca
tering for the Boston trade saw regularly
on their trips TO Faneuil Hall Market Ital-
Ian women trudging through the streets Of
the North End bearing burdens on their
heads that would stagger a donkey. Some
of these were carrying away from places
where building going huge bundles
of lumber ends that the contractors had
allowed them 10 pick up.
They're certainly good and rugged
suggested one farmer to his neighbour. IF
they can play truck boss, reckon they kin
pull weeds and hoe without needing a
man to stand over 'em with pink sun
shade and feed 'em ice cream Soda
Not long after that several farmers who
have places near Boston hired a few Ital-
ian women and put them at work in their
gardens One of these men, who does 81
big business in garden truck and needs
considerable help, says:
II wouldn't have the od-fashioned hired
man around now if L could get him thr-
teen to a dozen, packed in a crate. Those
women stick right to their business, don't
have to be pried up every morning, and,
most of ALL are careful and not wasteful.
THAT accounts for a great deal in mar
ket gardening, i tell you. They do all the
work that the ordinary hired man can do.
They help pillow, they hoe, they weed, they
cultivate, they pick vegetables and get
them ready for market-and in that last
work they can beat any man that ever
pulled beans. j know of a hundred of
those women who are employed right
around my place in less than square
mile of territory. and next year there'll
be still more of them. / know for a fact

The very cabmen have caught the odious

tears in their voice: they assume a tone
of sentimentaity which may amuse The

else than disgust the unprecedented pilgrim;
and they turn TO instant ridicule the gen.

well as the poets.
And who is to blame?
1t is not wholly inappropriate that STRAIT

pilgrims who worship at Shakespeare s
shrine are Mr. Carnegie's countrymen. In

firm conviction expressed not long ago
that Shakespeare is the property not of
England but of America. So they crowd
thither, conscious perhaps that their own
country is not rich in shrines but reso-
lutte, in any case, TO do what hasty rever-

Finally the writer muses. on the strange
fate of the village:
Here is Il little Warwickshre town not

an accident, over which 1t could have no
control, has given il a sort OF spurious
character. 1t cannot but wear an aspect of
self-consciousness, as of an actor known 10

cannot rid themselves of false glory. The
very name of their town calls up the i'm

though they know line of his verse,
