Mr.. Wong stated that among the Chinese

II is the dirty labor Of the empire When
Mr. Wong first came TO this country to
enter college, he was told that it would
be necessary to study mathematics two
years; he at once told them be knew
mathematics better than those who we're
to teach him in this particular branch.
Illustrative Of this, Wong, in his address
at Browns Hall, offered to foot up seve-

name the figures, but the young pro.

The Oyster in Europe.

The common oyster in Enrope-abuu.
dsnt en- the coast of Great Britain and
France-occurs in large banks or beds,
sometimes extending for miles, usually
on rocky bottoms. From about the
middle OF August to the middle of May
they are dredged from the bottom By a
kind OF iron rake drawn by boat under
full sail, several hundreds being taken
at single haul. These are transferred
to artificial beds or parks. where they
are preserved for sale, continually grow.
ing in size and improving in favor. The
growth OF the oyster is slow it being only
as large as half dollar at the end OF
lour or six months, and twice that size
at the end of year. In artificial beds
the growth is usually slower, the full
size not being attained till the fifth to
the seventh year. The west coast of
Scotland and the Hebrides have the best
oysters Of the British coasts; and here,
in sheltered bays, they acquire the green
color so esteemed by the epcure, aud
supposed to be due to the confervm and
similarly oolored growths in the breeding
places.
Other English beds ex end from
Gravesend, on the Thames, along the
Kent coast, and in the estuaries of the
Colne and the other rivers along the Es.
sex coast The British beds are kept
up by careful culture, and BY the intro
duction of broods from all quarters.
Since 1874 several varieties Of American
oysters have been introduced; bat the
planting is still an experiment, and It is
said that the change OF sea deteriorates
their quality Not many years ago the
beds OF France were nearly exhausted.
In 1855 Mr.. Uoste recommended plans
for the restoration, and since then the
parks in the bays of ST. Brieuc and AR.
cachon, aud the Isle Of Re, restocked ty
broods from Can6le and other sources,
have become enormous, and the success

entire Atlantic aud Mediterranean

the number of pea-beRns in barrel OF
that vegetable. There we're several gro.
Gers in the store and their estimates Va,

there are about 100000 pea.beans in a
barrel; this result being obtained by
counting the number Of beans in q
pound weight aud multiplying that by
tho number Of pounds in a barrel. This
OF course would give only 40 approxi.
mate number, as the figures for each
pound will very probably vary slightly,
aud the stated number OF pounds in a
barrel may also vary. A gentleman OF
an advanced education who happened
in the store yas asked to guess the mum.
Of beans. He reached a result by meas.
#uring one bean, aud then figuring how
many Of the beans could be put ip a
barrel. BE placed the number in the
barrel at 1000 less than the result OBJ

may be better for poor young women TO
