The Orgin of the Packing Basiness and How It Is Carricd Oa, A Trade that Gives Employment to & Large Number of Persons s Profits, Joston Herald, Eastronz, Me., July 15, 1884 — Very few are aware when they purchase a tin box of sardines, that in spite of the gau dy and attractive label it bears, with its French inscription and Napoleonic head, theso “little fishes piled in ile” are not the clupea sardine from the coast of Sardinia and from other parts of the Mediterranean sea, but are nothing more nor less than a Yankee herring caught off the coast of Maine, put up in cotton- seed oil. The imitation, deception or fraud (whichever you may see fit to term it) is 8o complete that the imported sardine is rarely, if ever, used as a hors d'wuvre, but in its stead we have the little Maine herring garnished with numerous slices of lemon, quite as invit- ing to the epicure and with a flavor as highly esteemed. In fact, the day of the imported sardine has passed, and nine-tenths of the sardines now eaten in_this country come from Maine. How this was all brought about may be told as follows: For some time prior to 1875, 8 Naw York firm, Mesers, Wolff & Roemsing, were engaged in experiments endeavoring to produce an article similar to the French sardines They had & room fitted up in their store which 1o one was allowed to enter, ex- cepting the two membors of the firm and ! the Frenchman who was engaged in the , | experimenta. On account of being un- able to secure exactly the fish they ¢ | needed, it seemed as if all their labor and efforts were to be of no avail, and they were considering the question of aban- doning their project when Mr, Weiff, one of the firm, visited Eastport, Me., and, on (seeing the small herring caught in that vicinity, which was then used for farming purposes, he felt that at last he had discovered the long sought for fish. As the resut of his investigations in 1876, " [ he established a factory in Eastport and commenced canning. Since then there have been eighteon other canning fac- tories established in Kastport, two at Robbinston, soven at Lubec, with one * | more in process of erection, three at Jonesport, and one ench at Milbridge, Lamoine, Bass Harbor, Brooklyn and Camden, besides ono. at St. Andrews, N.B. THY. HERRING USED for tho manufacture ot the sardines are caught in the waters of Passamoquodda bay and viinity. Largo weirs are built, ~ [ boing constructed of piles driven firmly in a depth of water not exceeding 20 fee, while the space between the niles is filled with brush interlaced with the rails which surround the piles. A large opening in the enclosuro is left, through which the herring enter at high water, and a drop seine is used to close the opening when the weir is well filled. Just before low water the fishermen enter the weir in a net boat, and, with a hugh scoop net,take the fish out and. deposit them in the boat. The fish are offered for sale by the hogshead to the bontmntn of the differ- ont factories—about seventy-five in num- ber, each factory employing from two to six boatmen—and the biddinz commenc- o8, which,ut times,almost rivals the stock exchange; in fact, it is the sardine ex- change. If only a fow of the weirs have fish the bidding is spirited, and a high price is obtained for the haul; bu, if fish are plenty they do not bring 80 high,. a price, and tho bidding is atteaded with loss oxcitement. When the industry first started $1 per hogshead was a good, fair price, within the last two years, a8 high as $30 has been paid for ahogshead. After the fish had been transferred to the boat of the highest bidder, a start is made for tho factory, a small signal flag being run up to the top mast, to show the owners at the factory that fish are on the way. When the wharf is reached the fish are hoisted from the boats and placed in large tanks partly filled with salt water, to preserve them until they are all cut. Faom theso tauks they are taken in large baskets to the cutting room and de- posited on the long rough tables, where they ore sized by the cutters, and by a doxterious sweep of their large knives, aro quickly desapitated; the ontrals be ing pulled out by the same movement. The operation 18 performed with cuch quickness that those skilled in the bus- iness will cut seventy-five a minute, Iach cutter has a box which when full, is carried to the foreman of the room, and the cutter recsives a tin ticket st od with the company’s initial and amount to be paid. Theso cuttors are mostly boys and girls from 10 to 16 years of age, aud, in having wnat they term a *‘good week,” they earn from §6 to $18, After being cut THE EISH ARE PICKLED, This is done by placing them in tubes and salting them thoroughly, after which they are washed in sevoral changes of water, and then placed in low, flat bask- ots, when, after being carefully drained, they are hoisted into the flaking-room, The flaking is done by women, The flakos aro of Wire, nearly three feet long by 2 feet in width, and the tish are spread on, oare being taken that space ia loft between each fish to avoid trouble in baking. Whena flake is filled it is placed in the racks which stand in front of the mouth of the oven. The man in charge of the oven takes them from the rack and places them on the skeletons in the oven. Each skeleton will hold four flakes, and it is revolved by steam power. The oven will hold forty flakes, By the f | timo thewdast skeleton is filled. those on o first one are baked sufficiently, and thelr places being immediately filled with flakes of fresh tish, KFrom the racks men take them to tables, where the packers, who aro women, place them in tin boxes, ac- cording to their size, the smallest being used for oil and tomato sardiues, the medium for mustard and wmarinee sar- dines, while the largest are packed in oval cans, and are called ‘‘sea trout.” Into each box is poured oil and the vari- ous preparations of spice, lemon, vinegar sugsr and mustard that are used, The total capital employed is]&160, Employment is given to 2,000 men, women and children, and about §10,000 is disbursed weekly for wages during the soason, In addidion to packing sardines, some of the factories can lobsters and blueberries in their season. THE SARDINE SEASON oxtends from April 16 to December 15, loaving fonr months of the year for close time, lu 1877 about 1,600 cases, 100 cans each, were packed, while in 1880 on the market. 1o 1877 price. of about 100,000 cases were packed and put ! in the business, The actual cost of a box of these salt water herring converted in- to passable sardines is abont b cents, Besides packing oil and mustard sardines most factories pack ‘‘Russian sardines.” They also manufacturo pomace which is wold to futilizing companies. When fish are abundant the factories run from 7 o'olock in the morning to midnight. The largo concerns pack 20 cases daily dur- ing these hours, 1In the busy season the wages earned by women who pack flake are from 810 to €18 per week. The wharf men earn from §9 to £15; sealers from §16 to 830; can-makers from $18 to 230; seamera $10 to £15. The price of packing per case varies each week and is governed by the price of fish, which may be 85 per hhd. the first of a week and $25 the latter part of the same week., A fair average is from £5.50 to 856, £7 Well Dressed People don't wear dingy or faded things when the 10¢. and guar anteed Diamond Dye will make them good as new.

The young Iadies have a guardian at Wor- cester—their mother and father being dead-—who has been looking after their education and estate. During the last season they have attendea a young ladies’ sominary in Worcester., While there they made their acquaintance of their respective husbands, who were at- tending a military academy in the same town, Neither party knew anything about the other's family or circumstances; bus nevertheless the friendship formed without the knowledge of the guardian or family of the girls progressed until the school commencements were over Then it appears the young ladies, who were invited to spend their vacation with their sister at New Rochelle, took the two young men from the military academy with them and introduced them into their slater's family, where they were recoived hospitably. Mrs, Ducker allowed the young men'to remain at her house for more than a fort- night. They wore their cadet uniforms, and cat quite a figure in and around New The Leipsic Firs Department, From the Boston Transcript. A couple of days in Leipsic convinced me that the only feature that jwould in- terest the unmusical tourist is the fire brigade. 1 had the honor of inspocting thin wonder in charge of a mighty officer with an American friend to act as inter- pretor. This is my first glimpse of the German fire aystem, and it has pursuaded me that aside from the good discipline enforced it is little less than a roaring farce. All the men and apparatus are stationed in one house, & protentious brick building located near the center of the town. The firo alarm telegraph is an unknown convenience, but they have a system which they scom to regard as its equal, 8 man in _helmet and rubber cont, armed with axand saber who par ades up and down the sidewalk before the building, on the lookont for smoke. The lower floor of the structure is divided into three apartments, one occupied by the horses and the others by the apparatus consisting of three or four hand engines, a steam engine, a fire escape, a few express wagons and hose reels. All these ma- chines are so hopelesaly jammed together that it is impossible to reach those in the background until the others have left the house. The upper floors of the building contain the sleeping-rooms and a smok- infi-room furnished with settees and long tables, where at almost any hour of the day the Leipsic firemen can be seen hard at work drinking beer or sleeping off its effects. 1 had some difficulty in finding out just what occurs in that house in case of fire. If at night it is something like this, if we translated our guide's remarks correctly: When the man on the sidewaik sees the fire, smells smoke, orin any other way becomes con- vinced that a conflagration is in progross, he gives the alarm to his friends in the smoking room. When they are con- winced that the sentinel's observations are founded on fact, an electric bell is sounded to rouss tho sleopers in the dormitories. The horses are harnessed and conveyed around the building to the apparatus rooms, the hand engines are attached to the express wagons, the men board the latter and in five minutes the guide assured us the brigade was ready to move. Ho probably megnt that the vanguard set out at the exfration of that time. Inasmuch, however, as the, whole brigade attends every alarm, e must be at least twenfy minutes diflerence in the time of the departura of the first engine and the fire-escape which stands against the rear wall. In fact, it must be lively about that engine house for at least half an hour after the receipt of an alarm, while the various machines are getting under way. Iinformed the guide that in America the firemen took only fifteen seconds for getting their machines from the house. ~ His reply was the German equivalent for ‘‘tell that to the marines,” It is no simple matter for a German to wink in fifteen seconds. The saddest feature of the Leipsic brigade to me, however, was the seoming inefficlency of the firo-extinguishing machinery. = It would bo a discouraging task to water a lawn with those hand engines; in fact, they might have dififeulty in falfilling satisfactorily the role of face perfumers, There s just one point where this fire service scems proficient, and this is in regard to discipline and organization. The physique of the men is capital.

As New Rochelle is very cosmopolitan during the summer, nobody appeared to know who the par- ties were, and Mr. Decker did not, there- fore. know what was going on. THE TWO MARRIAC On the morning of June 30, after the young men had been enjoyiug the honpi- tality of Mr. Ducker for about a week, they took the young ladies out to ride as usual, and the young wives state that on this occasion each of the cadets made an offor of marriage. MoNally proposed to Miss Lydia Wyles and Walling to Mary, and each accepted, The young men 1t then seems went to Justice Pinkney's oftice and made application to be married on that same evening. The hour was fixed at nine o'clock at night, At the appoin- ted time the quartet appeared and were married. Justice Pinkney said he had no reason to ask any questions. All part ties seemed to be respectable and of competent age to contract the marriage relation. That evening it seems all parties went home as usual, keeping their marriggesja profound secret. They all retired to their respective apartments and there were no grounds to suspect the relation- ship that existed. The young men re- mained a week after the marriage, riding out as usual, and then departed for their homes in the west. Before their de- parture they paid for the printing of the wodding notices. About four days after the publication of theso notices they were shown to Mr. Ducker and the scene that followed can be imagined. The young ladics admitted the marriago but said that they regarded it as a ‘“‘good joke' rather than a reality. The paronts of the young husbands were immediately communicated with, and there were two storms at the other end of the line. It appears that McNally is only 16 years old, and Walling only 19. Tho parents of the boys were astonished and express- eda desire to have the legal knot untied if possiblo. Steps were then taken to dissolve the marriages. The petition states that the marriages were contracted ‘‘through force and duress”and that the petitioners looked upon the ceremony as *‘all in fun” and “a joke,” and are willing to have them dissolved. The marriages will probably be annulled. —— The finest mayonaise dressing for all kinds of salads, cold meats, raw tomatoes, pickled salmon, cabbage, etc, is Durkee's Salad Dressing.

The invention of an extensive poultry shipper in Indiana is so designed and con- structed as to enable the shipping of live fowls any distance by rail without any of the drawbacks attending the handling of *‘crates” and ‘‘baskets,” which are the bane of the express agent everywhere. The car is not unlike a stock car in gen- eral appearance, having four or five decks or floors far enough apart to accommo- date standing poultry. Each deck may be separated by portable partitions into compartments, or the length of the car may bo thrown together. Each compart- ment is provided with & main door, which locks as hereafter described, and each door has a sliding door, which locks inde- pendently, for use in transfor. A simple contrivance of rods and staples locks with a lever crank every door at once, and o storm-curtain protects the fowls in bad weather.
