A Great Sacrifice.

Alderman l. r. Best informs us that
he is opening up Third avenue, north.

In opening this street Mr.. Best said
he lost 20 S-year-old apple trees and
100 of the finest grape vines that ever
bore fruit, which has almost ruined
his orchard and vineyard. But Mr.
Best is willing to lose it that the street
may be opened up for travel. Why
should others kick about losing a lit

makes this sacrifice?

The Port of New York.

Along its wharves one walks from
cline to cline, hearing the speech and
the slang Of many tongues, seeing fell
low mortals OF every known shade of
skin. 1t is a geographical tumble,
sort Of interna tional fair presided over
by one goddess-commerce. Little
does 1t seem to her that only the
breadth of pier should separate orient
from occident, the cool northland from
the tropics. She has marshaled her
forces from the limits Of her wide
spread empire, fastened them along
converging ways and then permitted
her glad servant, man, to give them
biding place. And in New York the
glad servant has NO alternative save
to berth them where he may, for ships
are many and berths are few, and
commerce brooks no waiting. From
ten to twelve vessels arrive In port
day in, day out, through the year.
In one recent month 261 deep-sea craft
with tight-stowed holds came to their
piers along South and West streets
and the flags they flew were Ameri-
can, British, German, Norwegian.
French, Danish, Italian, Dutch, Cuban,
Belgian, Spanish, Austrian and Portu-
guese. They brought the people and
the merchandise Of twice a hundred
ports and some, the China ships, had
come through 100 days of sea to de
liver up their chests and bales.-Har-

lin or Amsterdam, will frequently see
faces that. out of the synagogue would
not readily be taken for those of the
chosen people.
There is a great change going on
here in the United States, in which the
Jewish face is disappearing, and in
a few generations will be undistin-
guishable from that of the Gentle.
according to DR.. Maurice Fishberg. a
well-known New York anthropologist.
quoted in Harpers Weekly:
Some of his conclusions" SAYS the
Weekly, "are certainly remarkab BILE.
For instance, his examination of over
5000 Jews In New York City has con-
vinced him that there is no founda-
tion for the notion that every Jew DOS
sesses a long, hooked nose.
He does not deny that Jewish immi-
grants are easily pointed out, but he
insists that they cannot be identified
through any popularity of facial struc-
ture. A foreign look Is popularly mis-
taken for a Jewish look.
''Then, again, the Jewish immigrants
have what may appropriately be de-
scribed as the Ghetto face. The Ghetto
face, or rather the Ghetto eye, ex-
presses a ceaseless fear or anxiety, or
at least suspicion. of everything
around 1T. The same eye Is observed
among other peoples that have been
subjected to age-long persecution, as
for example, the Christian Armenians
in Turkey, and the Kopts, or native
Christians in Egypt. The Jews who
have lived for several generations
outside of the Ghetto do not exhibit
this facial phenomenon. There is no
reason why the Ghetto eye should not
tend to quickly disappear among the
descendants Of Jewish immigrants in
the United States. It is true as DR..
Fishberg says. that there Is as much
physiognomical difference between the
Russian immigrants on the East Side
of Manhattan Borough and the Amer

commercial, professional, and public
life, as there is between the Irishman
and the German. Yet. beyond doubt.

semblance' to the Russian Jews who
are newcomers to this country.

that they must have frequently taken

the marriage Of Jewish men to Christ

The Japanese are great fish eaters, a
very large share Of their constant diet
being dried fish, according to the Ia
coma Ledger. Recently the Russia n
government shut down on the Japanese
fishermen off the coast Of Siberia, ap-
parently in retaliation for the express
ed anHpathy Of the Japanese to every

fishermen and mechanics. Japs catch
the fish, for which they pay nothing.
Japs salt Them down.
Japs make boxes Of Jap-sawn lum-
Der and nail them together with jap
anese nails. Japs load the boxes on
Japanese steamers and the banking
exchange is done through Japanese
banks solely. When the season Is over
the Japs disappear, not leaving one

and their clothing. Thus In two years.

Canning Peas
for Market.

The industry Of putting up canned
goods is rapidly growing, and the pro-
cesses by which the different crops
are made ready for the market form an
interesting sight. 1t Is hardly possible
to conceive the rapidity with which
the work is carried on and the I'M
portant part played by machinery.
Take, for instance, the canning of peas,
where the vines are cut in the field
by a moving machine and loaded on
the wagons the same as is done with
hay. Arriving at the sheds of the fac
tory as wanted, they are placed on an
endless chain and carried overhead to
the workmen, who tend the machine
known as the "viner." In looks it
resembles a large, old-fashiored re-
volving squirrel cage, in which are
paddles, which beat the pods and al
low the peas to fall out through the
and pods are carried by the endless
chain to the silo. some distance away.
As some pieces of vines and pods pass
through with the peas, they are run
through squirrel cage which, revolv-
ing, causes the peas to be separated
from the other substances, when they
pass out of it into trays
Passing onward the peas are next
poured into a machine reminding one
Of the old-time tanning mills seen in
farmers barns. Here they are further
cleaned before passing through into
the grader" which is another cylinder
in which there are several sections
peas roll along until they come to the
mesh, which permits them to fall
through. All the while they are In this
cage dropping water Is washing them
and carrying out the dirt that may
be on them. Each size 10 now labeled
and kept separate.
The 'sblancher," as 1t is called, is
trough of boiling water, through which
the trays Of peas are carried on the
endless chain, requiring about ten min-
utes to pass twenty-five feet. AS some
Of the skins Of the peas, and possibly
other dirt, may yet be clinging to the
peas they move on to the second series
of squirrel cages. where the revolv-
ing motion again cleans them, while
cold water is continually dropping into
the cage and on them. Now they
pass out on to belt about three feet
wide and slowly move along between
rows Of women, whose business it is to
pick out any bad peas or any other
foreign substance. Dropping from this
table into trays they are carried by
men to the filler. 1t is the machine
which automatically fills the cans,
which are dropped down through tubes
from the storeroom above. When the
can falls into position on the moving
