0W THE STAB-FISH WORKS DEST CTICtf

A star-fi4i is ppniqpf instrnnrent of

divided ijito rnys like a star; the upped
surface is studded witli rough krobs,
between which are the openings of
many minute tubes for tjie passage of

the shell, the hard parts being ejected
after the ?oft portions are digested.
A Norwich man picked up a beauti
ful specimen at Watch hill a few days
'ago, but it lacked that sponge-like
plasticity for which they, are noted.
He picked up the stomach "and out
tumbled' a big clam, shell and all,
measuring four inches in diameter.
The fish measured but five. But the
most peculiar thing about the star-fish
hi its great power of regeneration of
lost parts. If. one of the arms or rays
become broken off the fish will grow
another; if four of the five are lost it

These are small shells about the size
of a man's thumb, whic h are planted
by oystermrm for oyster spat or seed to
adhere to, and to lose them means
the loss of a season's crop. t six
months a star-fish is big enough to
tackle an oyster. Tire advancement
from ''jingles" to healthy bivalves is
always' characterized by a fight, old
farmers say. Many are the battles

it rather uncomfortable for them by
catching their rays between the shells
and pinching them off.
One old fisherman tells of a tight
between a big oyster and a little fish
which he saw last season. It was a
fight "to a finish," and one the like of
yhich he never saw before. The
young star-fish approached the open
oyster and slowly settled dowd upon
it; The shell sprang together with a
snap and the fish, which had settled
upon it with five rays, bobbed suddenly
tip with only four. " The oyster again
dropped his blinds and awijttd a second
attack. Ie didn't have to wait long.
Slowly the fish liegan to drop until he

si mull change.
Most of our millionaires laid the
foundation of their fortunes by saving.
It is said that Senator Farwell com
menced life as a surveyor.
! Cornelius Vanderbuilt began life as
a farmer.
Postmaster- General Wanamaker's
fiist salary, was $1.25 a week.
1 A. T. Stewart made his first start as
a school teacher. 1
Cyrus Field began life as a clerk in a
New England store,
Andrew Carnegie did his first work
ip a telegraph ofiice at S3 a week.
1 Whitelkw Keid. Our minister to
France, did work as correspondent of a
Cincinnati newspaper for $5 a week.
Moses Taylor clerked ih Water
street, New York, at $2 a week.
George W. Childs was an errand boy
for a bookseller at $4 a month.
Jay Gould canvassed Delaware coun-
i
as tye came down tie road, with !
hands in his nockeis, his cap bei
pushed back on his head, antl a general
air of gQod-fellows.bip wjth the world.
He was on his way to apply f or a
position in a stationer's store that be
was very anxious to obtain, and in his
pocket was the best of references con
cerning his character for willingness
and honjesty, He felt sure that there
would not be much doubt of his obtain
ing a place when he presented these
credentials.
A few drops of rain fell as the bright
tkv was overact with clouds, and he
began to wish that he hail brought an
umbrella. From a house just a little
way before him two littje children were
starting out from school, and the mo
ther stood in the door smiling approval
as the boy raised the umbrella atid
took the little sister under the shelter
in manly, fashion.
Charlie was a great tease, and like
most boys who indulge in teasing, or
rough practical jokes, he always took
care to select for his victim some one
younger or weaker than himself.
.r I II have some fun with these chil
dren," he Said to himself; and before
they had gone very far down the load
he crept up behind them and snatched
the umbrella out of the boy's hand.
In vain the little fellow pleaded with
him to return it. Charlie took a ma
licious delight in pretending that he
would break it or throw it over the
fence, and as the rain had stopped, he
amused himself in this way for some
distance, making the children run
after him and plead with him tearfully
for their umbrella.
Tired of his sport at last, he relin
quished the umbrella, as a carriage ap
proached, and leaving the children to
dry their tears, went on toward the
store.
Mr. Mercer was not in, so Charlie
sat down on the steps to wait for him.
An old gray cat was basking in the
sun, and Charlie amused himself by
pinching the poor animal's tail till she
mewed pitifully and tried to escaped
While he was enjoying this sport,
Mr. Mercer drove tip in his carriage,
and passed Charlie on his way into the
store. The boy released the cat and,
following the gentleman in, respectful
ly presented h s references.
" These do very well," Mr. Mercer
said, returning the paper to Charlie.
" If I had not seen some of your other
references I might have engaged you."
"Other references? What do you
mean, sir?" -asked Charlie in astonish
ment. "I drove past you this morning
when you were on your way here, and
saw you diverting yourself by teasing
two little children. A little later a dog
passed yon and you cut him with the
switch in your hand. You shied a
stone at a bird and just now you were
delighting yourself in tormenting an
other defenseless animal. These are
t he references that have decided me to
have nothing to do with yon. I don't
want a cruel boy about me."
As Charlie turned away crest-fallen
over disappointment, he determined
that wanton cruelty, even though it
seemed to him to be only 44 fun," should
not cost him another good place. M.

Points on Fruit Drying
Allow your fruit to mature thor
oughly on the tree before gathering it.
Green or under-ripe fruit does not con
tain a sufficient quantity of saccharine
matter or grape sugar to make a good
article of dried fruit. Over-ripe,
mushy, bruised, and partially decayed
fruit makes a poor, dark-colored dried
product.
Grade your fruit as to size before you
cut it.
, rmt that Inis fallen from the tree
and is bruised is sure to turn black
when dried.
Evaporate your fruit thoroughly,
out ao doc ary it too. uracil, rut on
l I is m : . i
me. unisning touen in your curing
house.
Fine dried fruit cannot be produced
i'
trom poor small green Iruit.
In bleaching do not bum the sul
phur in the evaporator on any account,
anu u is advisable I ot to burn it in
the bleaching house with the fruit.
Twenty or thirtv minutes is a sufKripnr
length of time to submit fresh cut
fruit to the sulphur fumes. (Some
claim forty to fifty minutes the proper
time.)
We consider the Muir peach one of
the best varieties for drying. It is
thick of flesh and has a very small pit.
Five and one-half to six 'pounds of
fresh fruit will make one of dried.
Clingstone peaches are good driers,
but cause considerable trouble in pit
ting. There is less waste to the clings
than to the free stone.
Fine dried fruit can be made in the
sun, but you must know how.

more be chafed the worse was -the
bondage: In general he was happy
and contented. We do not believe
there were so many millions of toilers
in anv field the world over who had so
little of anxiety for personal suffering,
put all their ilis together, as the negro
slaves before the war. Tneir lot was
bright beyond measure, compared with
others of a like hue on any continent.

gro from the wilds of Africa w"ho reach'

able Ut, under the average southern
master, could not complain of the
change. To him it was a boon in all
that compensates for a life of service."
That is just the point. Every intel
ligent man who is familiar with the
management of a southern plantation
knows that the negro slaves were nil
members of the household, and that the
discipline, except in rare instances, was
kiudlv. The behavior of the negroes
during the civil war is sufficient proof
of this, for they were, often virtually
in control ot vast areas of countrv,
where there were ouly a few old men
and boy to protect the white families.
The traditiou ot the negro slave was
that he had been brought from a sav
age stiite into a pleasant climate the
influences of CI nstianitv and civil z.i-
tion. -
The work he did was much easier to
him than it would have been to a white
man, and as a general thing he was
happy. He worked all day and picked
the banjo and danced all night, hunted
the coon and opossum, and when he
stole the watermelon his master laugh
ed at the lark and protected him from
the constable. It is in vain, however,
to paint this picture for the norther l
spectsitor.
lhe northern people do not under
stand that the negro under kiudly con
trol is a good worker and a good citi-
zen, but when made master becomes a
barbarian.
We may prate as we may about the
44 problem," but all there is to it is to
let the southern States have the rights
that northern States have to manage
their own aff irs. When that is done
the negro will quietly and happily take
up his estate according to his color aud
inferior position, and the intelligence
of the country will do for him better
than he can do for himself.

Dr. Treub, the director of the Rjtan
ical Crarden at Baitenzvig, Java, has
published his expoidoaea with regard
to th'j roiippoaranee of veg-jt:ition upon
the Island of Kra'ce'aa, which partly
sank and was wholly overwhelmed by
the ashej and pumic-stone from it3
volcano daring the violent outbreak of
18 3. Three years after this date Dr.
Treub (on the 2Gth of Junj, 1886),
visited the island, and as ho approached
it he found that it was covered with
vegetation to th3 very summit of the
mountain. The plants could not have
grown from the roots or seeds of those
existing before ths great eruption, for
the toughest organism must have been
destroyed by ths execssivo volcanic
heat. d"he whole island was covered
with a layer of ashes and pumice-stone
from thre? feet to 2t0 feet thick. Nor
could the vegetation, I). Troub thinks,
have been introduced by man, for the
island is uninhabitod and difficult of
access. It must have boon by means
of seeds carried thither by birds, the
wind, or tho currents of the sea that
the new vegetation arose. It consists
for the most pirt of ferns, of which
eleven different varieties wore found,
and of single spacimoas of blossoming
herbs, such as are found on coral reefs
that have lately risen abovo the level
of the scsa. D. Trjub has, however,
found that tho ferns were not the first
living plants that ha 1 foitid nourish
ment ou tho destroyed island. Almost
everywhere there were sign-s that the
ashes and pumice-stone had been cov
ered by a thin layer of alga?, which
rendered tho surfaej of tho soil soft
and capable of absorbing water. These
microscopic algre prepared the way for
the fern and tho latter, in t'aeir turn,
for the blossoming herbs. London
