NEGLECTED BAYBERRIEs.
Time Was When the Crop Was Eager

Time Was When the Crop Was Eager
Iy Harvested.
Years ago when the first frosts had
come Connecticut people went out to
pick the punches of bayberries to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic
smell of the leaves that the pickers
crushed in pulling off.
We no longer pick bayberries for
company candles for the winter time.
Except few romantic souls who gath
er berries enough to make candle or
two for old memories, few faddists
who want to. try to make bayberry can
dies by some discovery or other in
magazine and some stanch old New
Englanders who love to get out in the
pastures on a crisp fall day-these are
all who gather the bayberries now.
Left to themselves, the clumps Of
bushes have spread out and in some
cases overrun whole pastures. In some
parts Of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tall.
In Branford, on the coast, there are
almost bayberry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall and some even taller. These
bayberries must be very old. You can
not help wondering how many crops
have been picked of them in years
past.
AS early as 1717 the town records
show that the gathering of bayberries
on the highways and common was for
hidden before Sept 10. A fine of 10
shillings for each violation was the
penalty. 1t appears that the wax from
the berries was used in making a
backing and salve and that bayberry
wax continued an article of trade in
Branford down to the last fifty years.
Human nature being about the same
one century to another, there was
probably in 1717 great complaining
of people who picked the berries 'be-
fore they were half ripe" or "got up
mornings before anybody else had a
chance hence the regulation and the
fine.
But what breathless, hurried bay
berry picking it must have been the
morning of Sept 15LHartford Cou-

Theatres.

Comedy and pathos are happily inter
woven in Charles Hoyt's old play, "a Tenn
perance Town" which will be presented
BY the Orpheum Dramatic Stock Company
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadel
phia, this week. 1t is rather timely that
this clever satire should be revived now,
for strong wave of prohibition is sweep
ing over the land, and it may prove inter
esting to many to see how a successful
playwright viewed this question years ago,

treats the liquor problem impartially,

Of "A Temperance Town" all the members

gives him ample opportunity towards dis
playing his histrionic ability. When
Tornberg was identified with the Yiddish
stage he originated over $50 comedy roles,
and his fame and success was so marked
that he was signed for a number of years
to play on the English speaking stage in
plays and parts especially adapted to his
talent.
1t is said that the advent of musical
comedy is wholly responsible for the lack
of interest nowadays in serious dramatic
work. This is undoubtedly true to very
large extent, and the overwhelming pre-
ference shown to a combination of laugh
provoking incidents and catchy, tuneful
music. is easily attributed to the mental
condition of the average theatre patron,
who finds relief and relaxation In an en-

DANGEROUS FISH.
Ways of the Green Moray of Bermuda
and the DeviIfish.

Ways of the Green Moray of Bermuda
and the DeviIfish.
When one speaks of dangerous fish
the first that come to mind are the
shark and the octopus. But neither Of
these is really formidable to fishermen.
The shark never attacks boat and the
octopus very rarely.
A much worse creature than either
shark or octopus is the devilfish-a
large ray that is common in the warm
waters of the Atlantic. This fish
grows to weight of a ton and half
and, besides formidable teeth, is arm
ed with a horrible barbed and poisoned
known to attack boats.
A fishing party in a launch succeed
ed in harpooning one of these fish in
the bay known as Arkansas Pass, Tex
as. The brute towed them eighteen
miles out to sea and very nearly upset
the launch. 1t was twenty-five feet
long and weighed 5000 pounds.
A very nasty customer is the green
moray of Bermuda This rather re-
sembles a conger eel, but is green in
color and savage beyond any fish that
swims. An English marine officer, fish
ing off Bermuda a year or two ago,
hooked large specimen and began to
pull it in.
His negro boatman, his eyes staring
with fright, begged him wildly to cut
the line. The officer at first refused,
but when he saw the fish turn on itself
and with a crunch Of saw edged teeth
bite a large piece out of its own body
he came to the conclusion that it was
not a nice thing to have In a small
boat
The swordfish is a dangerous crea-
ture. Swordfish are caught for the
Deke Of their oil and flesh, especially
along the Atlantic coast of the United
States. They are harpooned In the
same manner in which whales used to
be killed. Quiet enough until attack
ed, the swordfish then seems to go
raving mad and fights with unmatched
ferocity -London Answers
