Soft Shell Crabs.

 

The March of lmprollemont Destroying their
Lurking Places.

If you come up by the Long Branch
boats at this season 'of the year you will
see their forward parts stacked up with
Curious looking crates. You might g take
them to contain late strawberries; but
look within ahd you will see atightly
wedged mass of struggling, bubbling, his-
sing things, of a green black hue, soft,
flabby, and forbidding. Take one of
these slimy creatures and wash it in salt
water,'roll it in batter and-throw it into
boiling fat. and in five minutes‘you have
one of the crispiesl, most delicious mor-
sels that ever graced the table of a gas-
hammer. -

It lathe famous soft shell crab. And,
alas 1 like everything else that is too good
to last, it is passing away. The Shrcws-
bury river and bay have’ long been the
crawling ground of those voracious litllc
monsters. The rushes on each side have
protected them for countless years during
the period of their weakness. and that is

twenty-four hours in each year that they

employ in casting off their old shell and
making a new one. But the march of im-
provement is clearing the Shrcwsbury
of rushes. Handsome villas are going up
in every direction. The sewerage from
Seabright. Red Bank,Monmoulh Beach.
and the Highlands befouls the writer of
the swift running river and placid bay,
and the soft shell threatens sooner or later
to become extinguished. But not yet at
any rate. At 5 o’clock in the morning
you might‘see numberlcss punts moving
cautiously along the shores of the rival:
They are looking for crabs, One after an-
other they arc whipped up with scoop nets.
By 8 the hunter has his bag; by 10 they
are for sale in Washington and Fulton
markets. The Shrcwsbury supplies three-
quarters of the soft shells consumed—say
25,000 a day. The fishermen get from
$1.50 to $175 a dozen for them, and
when. they run well it is a good paying
but short-lived business. _

Down at Pleasure Bay they have tried
to cultivate crabs in large reservoirs.
through which the water flows freely, but

-hc wants to be free. and works away
until he is or dies in the attempt. The
fishermen along that coast say than they
cannot tame the crab till he becomes a soft
sncll. and the catch every year decreases,
and they begin to look forward to the

' time when they must find some other oc-

cupation.

I was speaking with one of them the
other day. He has been a fisherman these
many years at the Highlands. Said be
“What do they expect is going to become
of us—thess city people? They come
and take our land to build on: they drive
the crabs away. Then we go to fishing,
and find the moss bunccrs scooped up by
m.llions, and the bluefish gone somewhere
else to find food. These menhaden boats
will destroy our occupation altOgclher.”

There is one big dealer in soft shell
crabs in Washington Market, "Yes," he
said. “they are coming in pretty lively,
but nothing to what they did years ago.
They ain’t got the flavor, neither. The
Shrewsbury river is a cesspool these days.
The crabs ain't got the living they used to.
Their flesh ain't so while and firm, and
they don’t get so fat. We get a few crabs
from South Bay. They’re 'the best, I kin
sell all I git of any kind, but it won’t be
long afore they’re out of the reach of
most people.”

Soft shell crabs form one of the delica-
cies that people seldom eat at home. It
Is not one of .the pleasantest processes to
go through in one’s own house. . This,
perhaps. keeps the consumption . down,
for it is seldom they are seen outside of a
restaurant. There are various degrees
of excellence in cooking them, and the
best way in the world can probably be
found at Pleasure Bay, where Long Island
fashionables and unfashionables go to eat
them under spreading tents and close by
the cool waters that run 01! toward the

Historical.

The Marriage of John Hancock of the Continental
Congress.

It has been long a legend connected
with the old mansion in Fairfield, Conn.’
now occupied by O. W.'Jones, Esq., that
in the year 1775 John Hancock, flying
from the British invasion at Boston, stop-
ped there and was married under the bes-
pitable roof. The following in reference
to that historic event was published in
the New York Obscrncr of May 10th,
1883:—

A Centennial Marriage—On September
16, 1775, the Virginia, Gazette, published
at Williamsburg, contained the following
curious announcement of an imponant
social event: “Fairfield, August 29.—
Last evening was married at the seat of
Thaddeus Burr, Esq, by the Rev. M.
Elliott, the Hon. John Hancock, Esq.,
President of the Continental Congress, to
Miss Dorothy Quincy, daughter of Ed-
mund Quincy, Esq., of Boston. Florus
informs us that 'in the Second Punic
War, when Hannibal besieged Rome and
was very near making himself master of
it, a field upon which part of his army lay
was offered for sale, and was immediately

shoe that the Roman valor and courage
would soon raise the siege.‘ Equal to the
conduct of that illustrious citizen was the
marriage of the Hon. John Hancock,
Esq, who, with his amiable lady, has paid
as great a compliment to American valor,
and discovered equal patriotism by marry-
ing now while all the colonies are asjmuch
convulsed as Rome when Han uibal was
at her gates.”

 

 

Feeding Cows in Summer.

The customary loss from poor and dc.
flcicnt feed in midsummer, when grazing
is the sole dependence for the summer
feed for the herd, is about two-fifths of
what would have been the yield if full
feeding of green food had been supplied
through the entire season. When a herd
has been permitted to shrink from drought -
it not only gives less milk through all the
remaining part of the season, but it dries
up entirely very much sooner than when
the flow is kept up to its maximum meas-
ure all the time. Herds which are full
fed, go dry on an average only about one
month in the year, while those which
suffer from a drouth six to ten weeks in
the hot part of the season. with no extra
feed. go dry on an average about three
months. Animals pinched in the summer
get poor and wanting in vigor. so that
they do not stand thewinter well, and yet
it costs more to winter such a herd than it
does a fleshyone. To subject cows to a
lack of- feed when they should be doing
their best.brings disaster in every quarter,
and inflicts losses upon the owner which
keep him struggling with poverty from
year to year, and by distressing and dis-
cou 5. make him dissatisfied with his
business, and life an uphill'journey.—Na-

A minister while riding along a lonely

of a rude house. The minister addressed
a question to the man, but, without reply-
ing, the bitter turned toward the house,
bowed toa woman who appeared in the
doorway, and said:

“Good morning, madam; how's your
health au’ the health of your family?”
“Fine day,

the woman did not reply.

“My friend,” said the minister, “I am
to preach at Harvey’s Point and I would
like to know how to get there 1’"

“Don’t you know P” asked the man.

“No, sir ;" I do not,"

“Then how do you expect me to know
more about your business than you do?
Say, there. madam.” turning to the W0~

self at home. How’s the prospects.”

The woman made no reply. but, kicking
a cat out of the way and “shoeing” a
chicken that came up on the steps, she
leaned against the_ door facing and re-
garded the‘ man with a lack of interest
that characterizes the sweep of the eye
over a barren waste.

“The church is situated rfear here, is it

"Yes, but it is nearer to some places
than it is to here. Say, madam, 1 am

A Tombstone Justice.

How He Paralyzed the Distinguished Bar of the
City.

When I was practicing down at Tomb-
stone, said the lawyer, a friend of mine
had his ear chevved of]? one evéning in a
dispute with a prominent citizen “who
deall faro. After seeing the doctor he
came to me, and under my advice he had
the prominent citizen-arrested on a charge
of mayhem. Next day we had the man
up for preliminary examination. My
friend was there with his head all band-
aged, and so Were the prominent citizen
and his counsel, and the friends of both
parties. The general public—it’s a prctly
tough general public in Tombstone—
crowded the court-room. I The hour went
by but the Jiislicc didn’t turn up.. The
constable wont out to look for him, but
couldn’t find him in any of the saloons.
We scouted around for half - an hour, but
nary a sign of the court turned up. Finally
General O’Brien, the leader of the Tomb
stone Bar, stuck his head up through a
trap-door in the floor and said in his so]-
emn way:

“Gentlemen, remove your hats, his
Ilonor is here." And be dragged the
Court up by the collar. You never saw
such a long adjournment from decency as
that ornament of the Beach was. He
w covered with dirt, and even his hair
an board were chock full of sawdust.
There was, I remember. a flattened quid
of tobacco on his check bone. We had
to hold his llonor under each arm as we
led him to the nearest barber shop. A
bath and a shampoo brought back some
life to him, and he was able to walk will»,
out help to the courtroom. Once in the
chair behind his high desk be looked all
right, and we went on with tliccusc. We
had taken the testimony of three witness-
cs to the row and subsequent chewing of
my friend's car in the Excelsior 'faro
parlors, when General O'Brien and Col.
Stephens, both on the other side, jumped
up and objected to my questions. It was
a low point and we argued and quoted au-
thorities for about half an hour. It Was
a pretty hot set-lo, and we were all on our
feet when it was,_flnislied and had turned
to the court for a ruling. He was look-
ing straight before him up ubova us, as if
he was sleeping with his eyes open. '

“Your Honor,” said the General afwr a
long pause, “we are waiting for your rul-
ing.” Tnerc was no answer. Then I
chipped in with:

“Your Honor, will you be good enough
to give us your ruling?” .

“Wash tha’ ?" he said, trying to bring
his eyes to bear upon me.

"We want your ruling."

“Court’s adjourned," he said, trying to
rise. .
We all protested, but his only answer
was to strike his desk with his fist and cry
out again that the court was adjourned.

“Won’t you fix the bail of this defen-
dant l" demanded the General.

“No, shit,” said the Court, who had
got on his feet by this time and frowning
heavily, “Turn ’im loose. He’d oughter
cbawed the head of! that tenderfoot;
that's what he ougbier done.”

Well, gentlemen, what do you think lhc
Court did next? He just deliberately
staggered over to the trap door, lifted it,
stepped down the stairs until only his
head .and shoulders were above the floor:
and then pausing to glare at the paralyzed
crowd of us, he groWled out :

“You can all go to 11—1.”;1

With that he ducked and let the door
fall. and I suppose had his sleep out on
the dirty jfloor of the conch—Stockton

He Knew His Pap, But Who
Was HIS Mother"?

A few days ago a stock dealer from
Flora, Ill., arrived in Cincinnati with a
couple of car-loads of stock, which he dis-
posed of to good advantage. While down
about the Ohio and Mississippi Depot,
over which read his stock had arrived, a
pair of bunko sharks sized him up and
concluded he was just the man they were
looking for, and that they would turn an
“honest” penny or so by bunkoing the
sucker. So number one approached him
and said in the most cordial manner. at
the same time holding out his hand:—
“Why how dd you do, Mr. Black . When
did you get here i”

The stock dealer said to the nice young
man :——“I guess you are mistaken. My
name is’nt Black but Joe Brown, and I
am from Flora, III. I came here yester-
day with a couple of cars of stock and
sold out today and made a little money.”

“Oh,” said the nice young man, “you
must excuse me. I thought you were an
old friend of mine. by the name of Black
who lives in Indianapolis.”

n‘No harm-done, mister,” said the stock
man, as he turned around and , started up
the street.

He had not gone more than a couple of
blocks, however. before nice ypung man
number two came up all smiles, held out
his hand and shaking hands said :—“Why
I’m real glad to see you, Mr. Brown.
When did you leave Flora, and how is:
father ?"

Said Brown. looking the nice young
man over from head to feet :—“I‘ left
Flora a couple of days ago, and brought
some stock to the city, but I’ll be gosh
darned if I can tell how your pop is, for I
don’t know. him.”

“Don’t know my father in Flora,” said
the slick young man; “why he’s president
of the National Bank there; you must
certainly know John Thompson.”

“0h, ho, so you say John Thompson,
president of the First National Bank, at
Flora, is your pap i”

“YesIdo,” said the nice young man,
all smiles.

“Well,then,if that is the caseIknow your

'pap—you bet your bottom dollar I do. I

have known him all my life; but see here,
if John Thompsonis your pap, who in
the h—ll is your mammy, for old John

A Kentucky Wardrobe.

I saw Congressman Joe Blackburn yes
terday, and asked him about the paragraph
that is on its rounds about his summer
wardrobe that his daughter is said to have
sent him. He laughed, and said it had a
grain of truth in it. He said he left his
home for a day or two only. and took only
a small bag with him. The consolidation
of internal revenue districts brought him
unexpectedly to Washington. lie at
once telegraphed home to have a trunk of
clothes sent him here. His little daughter
in the absence of her mother, opened the
dispatch, and thought it was her duly to
obey it. So she packed a trunk and puts
note in it, as follows:

VEBSAILLES, Ky.
Dani: PAPA : I send you all the clothes
I can find, and I hope you are well.

Mr. Blackburn said that the trunk cou-

taincd the following: Seven white shirts,
six winter scarfs, one toothbrush, one
bowie-knife, two revolvers.
This is what a Kentucky girl regards as
a suitable summer wardrobe for a gentle-
man. Mr. Blackburn. who is a charming
gentleman. laughs as heartily over the in-
cident as any of his friends—Philadelphia

' Every sickness has its Fever. The
head, the lungs,’the stomach, the bowels, the
liver, the spleen, and the kidneys each will at
times have their little Fever. Easily sub-
dued if taken in time. but if delayed the fever
spreads like fire in a house. until the whole
body is involved. and the person is sick in bed.

The Magic Cure is especially a Fever
Medicine—better and cheaper than quinine.
‘ It is the hope of the sick-bed. The how of
promise to the invalid.

Every case of Scarlet Fever, Diphthe-
nia, Pneumonia, can be cured. if this
remedy is taken actively as directed.

Malaria or Miriam in the air is for the
most part the cause of all Favors, and the
Magic Cure is a sure antidote for it in every
form it may assume.

Every Chill has its Fever, but not every
fever has its Chill. We cure the Fever or
the Chill at the same time.
