The Exeter Times, 1884-12-4, Page 7In the hack yard hln*se nest door but one to my abode (here are stored at the present tinie no less than nineteen casks full Of tortoises. This morning co?npleiut was made to me of the mai tit were making, and ae- laglet 'e*mioed the Basks, One head e.ed nod I removed the beerit Bocci inside. The cask was; mplyyaai of tortoises thrown in any how. 0 . poor ereaturo at the top had its seen crushed in, which speaks vol- times about what they must havo . un-, dergoue. And the smell—.well. we are usoa to smells here in the East End, and do not mind them very much, bu the smell of these poor creatures was too much for even our practiced nos• trils; many of the tortoises had evident - 1 died,some of them, perhaps icing ago. Now these casks were brought into the yard last Tuesday, and no attempt has been made even to sort out the living from the dead, From a rough calcine - time 'should say that there were at least 15,000 tortoises packed into the li -nineteen casks. Tho owner does not reside upon the premises; but he rents the hoes° and lets it out to tenants, and every year About this tilde Wallis yyard to store tortoises ie. alms he is himself free from the nuisanoo they cause. I have complained to the lned- ilial officer, and the result will doubt- less be that the casks will be removed, and. as far as we are concerned, the nuisance will be At An end. The tore toisos will undoubtedly ho taken to an- other yard, and then as tilcy aro want- ed each cask will be unpacked and the contents exposed for sale upon the cos- terinonger5i carts. The casks ought to be unpacked at once and the contents. sorted, the dying dispatched without delay, and the Hying at least allowed some place whore they can stretch their aa leg. --Letter to London Standard. Sharp.Slghted Indiana. Otte of the most curious traits of tete Ayala Indians, recounted by Lieut. F. Schwa,tka in a late number of Sasses, Is their power of aoeiug the motion of a fish in water. The Yukon is very muddy, so much so that whoa an ordin- ary pint cup is filled with it nothing can be seen until the sediment has settled. The water is ten or twelve feet deep and the river wide, Yet when a solitary salmon comes up this river des coming is notified, its position identified, and it is often caught in a hand -net. Some person, generally an old squaw, is oa the lookout in front of the huts on Wo bank. At her call a man runs to the beach, picks up his canoe, paddle, and not. and guided at first chiefly by the advice o1 other In- dians who gather on the shom but as he approaches relying more on himself, shoots the canoe into the proper posi- tion, and, while he regulates its movo- meets with his left hand, plunges the not to the bottom with the right. When it is remembered that the mouth of the not has an area of only about two square feat tho power to catch a soli- tary salmon by thrusting it directly into its course seems almost miracu- lous. No white man could see any ovideaco of the motion of the fish, yet the natives assort that motion is com- municated from the bottom to the top. Out of seven attempts watched by Lieut. Sehwatka two were successful, though tho fish were swimming from 250 to 800 yards from tho bank. Sev- eral hundred fishes caught in this way ore in their houses and on their ffoldings. ZI. Gounod on Blindness, If I hen to choose (says M. Gounod) one of these two terrible calamities, deafness or blindness, I do not think I should hesitate an instant. The deaf are generally said to be less cheerful than the blind; but notwithstanding that, and notwithstanding the fact that loss of hearing would affect me in regard to that which has always been the source of my very keenest and deepest feeling—I mean music—yet, between being deaf and never main seeing anything one loves, there is in my opinion so vast a gulf as to make that one consideration sufficient to decide the question. One must not forget that a musician can enjoy music to a great degree by merely reading it; and though the actual sensation of the sounds is necessary to make the im- pression absolutely complete, yet it is sufficiently strong to convey melody, harmony, rhythm, quality, and all the other elements of music—in a word, to give a real mental hearing of the piece so as to stamp it on the mind without the aid of the external sounds. it is well known that Beethoven wrote many of his masterpieces after he was completely deaf; but he cannot have written them without hearing them in Himself, and it therefore follows that the converse can take place, and that music can be heard by merely reading it. Deafness, thelrefore, does not en- tirely destroy musical enjoyment. In fact, as far as the sense of hearing goes, every composer, when ho writes down his ideas, is virtually on the, same footing as a deaf person; for what he writes is the product of his mind alone. But blindness! the priva- tions it implies; the sacrifices it impos- es! the virtual imprisonment of not being able to walk alone! the dismal darkness of never beholding the face of Nature! the silence and solitude of being unabhf to read or write! As long as, he mitt read a book, a deaf man remains in close communication with the whole circle of human thought. Historians, poets, philosophers, critics --all are stil1,l s comp anions; the world of Paintin sand sculpture is still opento'hitu: The ,blind man, on the other hand, is dependent on others for, all he wants; he has to ask for ever' thing; he is the prisoner of ,rasone thousand times rattier, " u I Theo The pectin tree is found in a wild state in the woods of the various sec- tions of the South and, West. It grows to a very large size, and bears. yearly many bushels of fine -flavored nuts. Though little or 110 attention has been lid to these valuable trees, cultiva- tion greatly improves them, the nut growing touch larger aud.improving in flavor. The paean tree.lilwes to a great age, and continues long in bearing. `ere is no good Teasel* why it should not be grown extensively in all parts of the United States. It is well adapted to almost any kind of soil, doing well even on rocky hills and waste land. There is no nut or fruit tree more valuable and requiring so little atten- tion. Every farmer, in my opiuicn, should have his nut orchard, and culti- vate especially the pecan for home use or sale. The nuts always tind ready sale at fancy prices. In planting the trees the only object is to obtain good feels nuts, and of a geed early variety, of large size, from which to grow the trees. If it is nrefe-red to set out the plants. get healthy trees of a good va- riety 1 to 2 years old. Playing With, a Gree nbora. At the Michigan Central depot the other day, says the Detroit Free Press, three or four citizens, who happened to be waiting for the sari° traits to come in got to talking about confidence been And their victims, and one of theist pointed to a particularly verdant spec - *M013, of the young-ban-froni-tilo-noun• try and said: "That fellow would be A ripe added for the fraternity; The chums are that he could be bamboozled as easy as rolling off a log" "I dunno." replied another: "Sup- pose you work ole him a little as an ex periment. Here is a check that I will 611 out, and then I will come in at the right time as your pal." The idea was entered into, and in a Zeta m=Wonts No. 1 put himself in the way of the greenhorn and lunde souse inquiries about the trains, and a asoer. talned that the stranger was going to Michigan City. "Sot Why, I am going right there myself. I own a saw -mill there." "Yew dew, eh?" "Yes, and I'm here looking for a foreman. Uwe a bees placefor a bran at $60 a month." 'That's me to a huckleberry. I've worked in saw -mills all my life" "You can havo tiro place. and 1'm. gladto got hold of such a man. Con- sider yourself engaged for a year at $60 a month. "Snakes and ton. cats but, ain't that luck," chuckled greeny. "Stranger you must bo nn awful goad man." "Well, I run a Sunday school and try to load an upright life. Maybe au want a month's salary in advance?' "Woogh! you don't say so! No, 1 guess I kin git along, es I havo $43 in. my pocket." At this moment the pal came up with the usual bill, which must he paid at once or the now saws for the mill would not bo shipped, No. 1 had only $3 or $4 in bills, but offered a check for $200. Following out the usual programme greenhorn was asked to hand over his $45 and take the cheek for security. The words wore hardly out of tho man's lips whop greeny spit on both hands at once, shot out his right and loft in chorus„ and there was a thump! thump! which knocked two mon flatter than pancakes. "Softly, gentlemen --softly," com- manded greeny as half a dozen men rushed up. "I look like a last year's pumpkin saved over in the basement of a canning factory, but after travel- ing for eleven years with Forepaugh I ought to know buckwheat from gos- lings. Pick 'em up and sponge off the blood and turn lom loose. 'They'll feel tired all the rest of the day." All Sorts or Flavoring. "We manufactuie most of the flavor- ings you see here," said a merchant to a reporter of the New York Mail and Ex- press. "Some little is imported from Italy, France and Germany, but the duty is so heavy -$2.50 a pound—that it does not pay." "What kind of extracts do you use principally, and who buys theme" "Fruit -syrups, oils, perfumes, bottled extracts, colorings and' tobacco flavors. They aro used by confectioners, soda - water bottlers, perfumers, druggists, brewers, and cigar and tobacco manu- facturers." "Can you explain the manufacture and use?" "The manufacture is a secret, xnd it would not do to give it away. They are principally extracts from pure fruit but in some instances chemicals are used, but never so as to be injurious. The uses they aro applied to are many; all the nice confectionery is flavored with some fruit syrup, extract of oil of almonds.being very popular, and cost- ing about $12 a pint, free from prussic acid. You may be surprised to know that as a rule the. various brands of to- bacco are formed through the,;use of some flavor. See. here we have Hav- ana cigar flavor, Santiago smokin4 to- bacco flavor, and even cigar colorings; here are the directions: Dissolve one pint of this flavor is four gallons of water, or•in one gallon of alcohol and three gallons of water." "Are not some of these flavors very. expensive? • 'They vary in price from 50 cents a pound to $1.50. Oil of attar of roses is $12 an ounce: Oil . of cinnamon, used in confectionery 10 12 an ounce.
