The HERALD
Oyster Babies.

An observer Of the oyster says be
IS not as stupid as be looks. He can
keep his mouth shut, and thereby
defy all our arts to vile a secret from
him. When spatting time with the
oyster comes, il is said TO be sick or
milky. This appearance is due 10
tho accumulation Of the spat, which
Ia, in the earlier stages of it's develop
ment, Of creamy conslstence of
color. When the spat ID mature it
assumes the appearance If the scrap
ings OF "a slate pencil; the parent oy--
stor then opens It's shell, and KIND
Of mistiness il observed in the SUR
rounding water. This is caused By
the myriads of young oysters scatter
ed in every direction. No sooner are
those tiny creatures free from their
mothers than they assume the most
active life and motion, dancing and
gyrating up and down in concentric
columns, as midgets play in the even
ing sunbeams Under the lens OF q
microscope you will see how eyquis-
itely these little fellows are fashion,
ed. A pair of tiny shells, the
counterpart Of those OF the mature
oyster, inclose the yet rudimentary
organs while, affixed to the mantle
il kind of tiny coronet, composed
of minute, hair-like appendages (cilia)
The violent and cesseless vibration
Of these living paddles serve to row
the infant oyster rapidly from the
place. Should it become the destiny
of one Of these fragile beings to
ever become a steady, well-behav-
ed oyster, il finally settles itself on
some suitable resting place, TO which
il makes itself fast-no one ever
clearly knows how-by the under
valve or she'll The bristlelike oars
of ella, no longer of any utility, dis
appear, now permanent fixture, the
baby oyster begins to grow. Al
about fortnight old it is not much
bigger than fair sized pins head,
and at three months about that of a
split pea. Having attained years
growth under favorable conditions
the young oyster will become as big
as an ordinary halfpenny; while at
four years growth they are consid-

A Touching Incident,

In describing the food which was
SO disasterous to many sections of
Virginia, the Lynchbqrg papers re-
cord the following very sad and
touching incident:
A mother and several little chill
dren were making their escape from
a narrow neck of land, which lies
between the river and the canal,
when they were amazed to find that
the bridge was already gone. and
that their only hope was TO cling to
the abutment of the bridge until the
angry waves should subside. But
as they stood there clinging to the
abu.ment the waters continued to
rise higher and higher, while in the
deep darkness they could hear the
crashing of t. ees amid the thunders
of bridge timbers that were wildly
dashing all around them. They had
been in this desperate condition for
some time when the little girl felt
that her strength was gone, and,
with a wild shrek of terror, she ex-
claimed: kiss me mother. for
can't hold on any longer" And
with the warm pressure of that
mothers lips upon her cheeks she
was swept away and seen no more.

No More Half-fare Tickets.

The decision arrived at by the
principal railroad companies, includ-
ing the Pennsylvania Central, to
sell hereafter no passenger tickets at
reduced rates for political meetings,
and State fairs, will have its effects
on sush gatherings this year: With
the exaction of full fare. the attend
arce at them will drop off. The
railroad companies allege that they
sustained losses last year by the
sale of excursion tickets. Possibly
this may be the case, but indirectly
We have no. doubt they were the
gamers The desire to travel, to a
great extent, is cultivated taste, and
cheap excursions have a great deal
to do with the education of the peo-
pie in that respect, especially the. ru-
raj population. We do not think the
regulation will be permanent one /;
exceptions will gradually creep in
until the old system of half and two
third fares are Iestored.-Pittsburg
Gazette.

One Of our exchanges contends that
wool ought to command seyenty-five
cents per pound and advises farmers
not to sell.
We freely confess that we are not
competent to give our farmers advice
on this important subject, but will state
that we believe it a good plan to sell
when you can get reasonable price,
Money bears interest, wool don't. We
well remember that in 1866, the Ohio
Farmer, urged the people to hold their
wool. contending that an advance in
price was inevitable. Many followed
the advice. but the advance did not
come, while the disasterous decline con-
tinued and the disappointment Of
thousands was bitter and costly. Prices,
like life, are uncertain.
