THE OYSTERMAN.
His Work Is Hard, and the Returns

His Work Is Hard, and the Returns
Are Often Meager.
The life Of an oysterman Is by no
means an easy one. At the Grst sign
Of dawn in all kinds Of weather except
when the river is frozen the oysterman
leaves his home and If the breeze is
fair sails to the oyster grounds. If not
he rows the six or eight miles to his
working grounds. Arriving there, he
drops his anchor and puts his tongs
overheard.
All day long he manipulates them
with varying results. Sometimes he
finds a particularly good bed. and the
tongs will bring up oysters each time
they are put overheard, but more often
there are more stones and shells In the
tongs than there are good oysters. and
the days work is poor.
The catch is then culled-that is, all
understood oysters and shells are clean
ed out and thrown overheard. At least
this is what is supposed to be done;
but. Judging from the cargoes often
brought here. the law is very often
dead letter. When the catch is culled
it Is sold to the river boats and by
them brought to market. Few oyster
men market their own catch. but some
own the river boats in which they are
brought to misunderstanding Star.

A Royal Reprimand.

A tutor was once employed to teach
the son of king. The young prince
was sometimes disobedient But In
the esteem of the tutor it was not quite
proper to whip the son Of a king with
a common switch. So to the lapel Of
the boys coat the teacher pinned a
piece OF purple ribbon. When the
young prince manifested disposition
to defy authority the instructor point
ed with the end of the rod to the Dur.
pie ribbon on his coat This was an
appeal TO his royal blood.

TEA BUGS AND TEA MITES.
They Are the Plaques of the Assam
Tea Gardens.

Tea Gardens.
Every animal and plant has its para
site, and from this general law, 1t
seems. the tea plant Is not exempt
Two insects are described as spending
their lives in tea drinking. They are
the plague Of the Assam tea gardens
and are known as the tea bug and tea
mite.
The mites spend their entire lives on
the tea plant and are never known TO
attack any other leaf. They live in
families and societies on the upper
side of the full grown leaf and spin a
delicate web for shelter. They then
puncture the leaves and pump out the
liquid In the plant veins.
They seem to become very dainty in
their tastes. for a sprinkling of mud
dy water over their floor and tea table
is the only remedy known to check
their ravages. Even this Is not al
ways effcctual
The tea bug is still more destructive
and is evidently possessed OF an ap-
probation of the best kinds of tea,
since It always attacks those of
mild and delicate favor. Such as af-
ford harsh and rasping liquors are al
most entirely free from its attacks

SHOULD BE.

OF the many months IN the year the
present one shows the least change
in the character of provisions on local
markets. It is the season Of boiled
things, and these have been supplied
several weeks by farmers surrounding
Richmond. Nothing new, which is in
any way appetizing, has made its APP
pearance In several weeks.
At present there are cranberries ga
lore, big brown potatoes by the barrel
full, delicious sweet potatoes, cab
bages, parsnips> celery, lettuce. grapes
and southern fruits in plenty, any of
which would be a tasty acquisition to
the Sunday dinner table-but then
such things have been in season so
long people are beginning to get the
least bit tired of them. GrOcers in
Richmond would bless the man who
at this season could present on the
market a really delicious product fav-
ored by customers.

reason that pumpkins are scarce
around Richmond. The quality is eX-
cellent, however. The season for

of the cornfield product will not have

farm products are the scarcest and es-
peclally is this true as regards eggs
and country butter.
Eggs have now reached the thirty
cent figure and although prediction
has been made in other Indiana r'ties
that they will soar to the As &C fig
ure, 1t is not thought by local reta. IerS
this will be the case here. Eggs will
be scarce however, during the remain
der of the winter and high prices will
prevail
O groceryman said that the old school
of butter makers had passed away and
retailers have to be content with the
poorly worked up article. AS "a gener-
nj rule the butter received in Rich
mond is of inferior quality and butter
made by the old fashioned makers is
at a premium. He says that today the
creameries are taking a large portion
of the milk and exchanging butter for
it and i'll this way many farmers
wives do not have to bother with the
butter making process, hence the de-
cline of the quality.
Speaking of fruits, he said oranges

of these are being shipped into Rich

other delicious country produce fresh

WOUNOING A FIRE.
"A Odd Superstition That Dates Back
to Ancient Times.


A curious modern attempt to ration
alize one OF the oldest Of superstitions
is to be found in Kipling's "Life's
Handicap" There Mulvaney checks
the author from stirring the fire with
Ortheris' bayonet on the ground that
fire takes the heart out Of the steel.
The real reason 10 much more mysteri-
Gus. 1T was one of the maxims OF
Pythagoras "r.Ht to stir the fire with
n sword and TO this day the wander
ing tribes of North America and of
northeast Asia hold 1t q sin to take
up a burning ember for pipe light
with the point of a knife. The ex-
PLANTATION Is undoubtedly given by Jo-
names de Plano Carpini when he tells
US that one OF the Tartar superstitions
coLcerns sticking a knife into the fire
or in any gay touching the fire with
knife or even taking meat out of the
kettle with a knife or cutting near the
fire with an Ak, for they believe that
so the head Of the fire would be cut
off"
This is evidently connected with the
ancient idea that fire is a living crea-
ture, n sacred animal, which must not
be wounded by Its human owners In
case it should be annoyed and deprive
them Of Its valuable services. Is this
in any degree more irrational than the
belief still existent among housekeep-
ers that a feeble fire can be made to
burn up by laying the poker across 1t.

The Legislative Investigation

Tue investigation being made by the
committee of Assemblymen into the
State expenditures is what has been
needed and will be an eye opener for
voters. The reckless extravagant eX
penditures of the State Fish and Game
Commission we have believed existed
for years and great reforms are needed
from the head of the Commission down
to the numerous wardens, whose eXpeI
ses cost more than all the game in the
State is worth. The commission has
spent $354,000 in the past ten. years
which may be called gross extravaganza
for the services rendered and good re-
suits therefrom.
One of the specimen gold bricks
made on the State brought out by the
legislative investigation of the Fish
Commission was the purchase of a new
engine for the launch "Protector" in
place of one only a year old. There is
no record in the commission reports to
show what was done with the rejected
engine. President, Secretary and Treas
urer Morris explained in his testimony
that he had sold the engine ''to d
friend, " who had neglected to pay.

The bill makes New Jersey'slaWco con-

practically impossible now to secure a

for partial divorce as well as absolute
divorce, as heretofore. 1t might be well

Plan To Save The Shad.

New York Tribune, May y,
1t would seem to be competent and
appropriate for the Federal and State
governments both to take action i'll the
matter. The desired end could probably
be attained by the establishment OF a
brief ''close season" on shad rivers III
alternate years. Thus, if i'll Il year
shad fishing were prohibited for atleast
half of the spawning season on the
Kennebec, the Hudson and the SuSque-
hanna, and the next year Oh the Penob-
scot, the Connecticut, the Delaware and
the Potomac, no real hardship would be
imposed upon the fishermen. no marked
scarcity of shad would be caused in the
market, and yet sufficient opportunity
would be afforded for the re~pleniShment
of the schools Of fish. In addition there
should certainly be a stop put TO the
poisoning of rivers with factory waste.
In England and other countries a clear
distinction is observed between the ordi-
nary domestic drainage and the waste
products Of industrial establishments,
and even if the former is permitted to
4Gw into streams the latter are required
to be disposed Of otherwise. 1t would
be well and before long will, We believe,
be necessary to establish a similar
system here. The whole matter is GER
tainly of enough Importance to thepub-
lie and to the fshIngindustrY to warrant
the attention and the prompt action Of
the government.
