Moral Character of the Oyster.

In temper he is even mild to placidity,
although he is sometimes slightly ruf-
fed, on his edge at least. He is quiet
always, and usually very we'll behaving;
and yet he participates in nearly every
scene of debauch aad revelry. He ire
quents midnight suppers and is the COM
rianion-the bosom companion we may
say-of wild fellows of every degree.
He makes no noise, and does no quar-
reling, but he is present in well nigh
every riotous company, and is found at
table with wines and liquors of every
kind, name and quality. In himself,
and so far as his personal behavior Is
concerned, the oyster is perfectly re-
spectacle, and gentlemen and gentle.
women have him at dinner without
scruple; but there can be no doubt that
his name is suggestive of dissoluteness
and dissipation, precisely as the horse,
noble as he is, is indissolubly associated
in our minds with certain forms of
knavery and with iockeyism &c in all its
branches" as the street signs say.
Dickens, we believe it was, who pointed
out the fact that the moment that any
man falls into the poverty which comes
of drunkenness and idleness, he begins
to eat oysters as regular diet, and not
withstanding the high estimation in
which the beet os rs hold this mollusk,
his name somehow suggests irregularlty
of living, late hours, unwholesome

Returning a Favor.

A tinker was travelling in country
town; and, having traversed many miles
without finding anything to do, he
stopped, weary and hungry, at tavern.
Here he got into conversation with a
glazier, to whom he related his troubles.
The latter sympathized with him deep.
iy, and, telling him he should have job
before long, advised hira to go to his
dinner and eat heartily. The tinker took
his advice, ate his fill, and, when he re-
turned to the barroom, he was overjoyed
to hear that the landlord required his
services to mend a lot of pans and ket-
ties which had evidently sprung a.
leak" The tinker was at once set to
work, accomplished the task, received a
liberal sum in payment, and started on
his way rejoicing. Upon reaching the
outside of the house, he found the
glazier, who said "Well, you see, 1
told you the truth. I procured you a
job of work, and how do you think ac-
complished it?"
"I am sure I cannot tell, replied the
tinker.
Il will tell you" "rejoined the glazier.
"You told me you were weary, hungry
and dinnerless. I knew the landlord
was we'll off, and doing a good business;
and so watched the opportunity, and
started leak in every utensil 1 could
get hold of"
The tinker, with many thanks, and a
heart full of gratitude, resumed his
Journey; but had not proceeded many
yards before he reached the village
church, when a brilliant idea struck
him. The glazier had befriended him; /;
he would befriend the glazier. The
church, he thought, could afford to bear
slight loss in good cause; so, taking
a position where he could not be seen,
he riddled every window in the edifice
with stones, and then, highly elated with
his exploit, he retraced his steps to no.
tify the glazier ne would speedily have q
very important job.
"Sir." said he, "I am happy to in
form you that fortune has enabled me
to return the kindness I received from
you an hour since"
"How so9" asked the glazier, pleas
antly.
"I have broken every pane of glass in
the church." answered the tinker; "and
you, of course, will be employed to put
them in again."
The glaciers jaw fell, and his face as
sumed blank expression, as ne said,
in trem nlous tone "You don't mean
that, do youa"
"Certainly," replied the tinker;
"there's not whole pane OF glass In
the building. One good turn deserves
another, you know"
eyes," answered the glazief, in de-
spair; "but, you scoundrel, you have
ruined me; for I keep the church win
dows in repair by the year"

No net cd for murmured VOWS or low replies !;
Each sun fl cked leaf, each sudden shadow

Cast some vague memory to our dreaming

Only that some one throb Of wakened yearn-

May thrill the numbness Of my heart to

Brine to Preserve Butter a Year.

Among the many devices for keeping
butter in manner that will preserve the
fresh, rosy flavor of the new, with all its
sweetness, is the following from the
Duchess Farmer, which is said to be
entirely successful:
To three gallons of brine, strong
enough to bear an egg, add quarter OF
a pound of nice white sugar and one
tablespoonful of saltpeter. Boil the
brine, and when it is cold strain carefully.
Make your butter into rolls, aud wrap
each separately in clean white muslin
cloth, tying it up with a string. Pack
a large jar full, weight the butter down,
and pour over it the brine until all is
submerged. This will keep really good
butter perfectly sweet and fresh for a
whole year. Be careful not to put upon
ice butter that you wish to keep for any
length of time. In summer, when the
heat will not admit of small jars, take
large ones, and, using the same brine,
allow it to cover the butter to the depth
of at least four inches. This excludes
the air, and answers as we'll as the first
method suggested.

In an hour he was at home In the little

Arabic Justice.

An idea of Arabic justice may be
gathered from the story of trial had
recently in Algeria. On matrimony
bent, Ferhat- -Ben-Amar, young and rich,
sought and obtained the hand of girl
named Messaonda. Her parents being
dead, her legal guardians, two uncles,
gave their consent to the marriage, and,
in accordance with Arabic custom, the
bridegroom handed over to the guardians
of the bride certain portion of his
estate to be held in trust for her.
Scarcely had the marriage tables been
cleared, and before the honeymoon had
reached it's full, the perfidious groom
called upon the uncles with the COM
plant that the bride failed in affection
for him. This was tantamount to re-
claiming the dowry, since the law per-
mits husband to put away his wife for
such cause and demand the restitution
of the money be had advanced. The
uncles endeavored to induce Amar to
send his wife back to them for short
time, that they might demonstrate with
her upon this failure to let her young
affections follow her hand. She was re-
stored to her relatives, but had dWelt
with them for a day or two only when
Amar pranced back on cred horse" "
and demanded that she be restored to his
arms. Asserting that he had ill-treated
her, she refused to return, and ran from
the house, declaring that she would
seek divorce from the cadi. The gal
liant Arab galloped after, and, over
taking her, leaped from his saddle and
Drained her with a bowlder. Having
thus made himself widower, he rode
home. The facts as stated were sworn
to by eye-witnesses, and there was not a
shadow of doubt as to the mans guilt.
He proved an alibi to his own satisfac-
ton, but not to the jury's, who found
him "guilty, but in extenuating cir
cumstances. The extenuating circum.
stances seemed to be that the victim was
his wife.

Tom Cooke, the Actor.

At trial in England in 1918, between
certain music publishers, as to an al
legged piracy of an arrangement of the
song of "The Old English Gentleman"
Cooke was subpenaed as witness by
one of the parties.
On his discrimination by Sir
James Scarlet for the opposite side,
that learned counsel questioned him
thus:
"Now, sir, you say that the two
melodies are the same, but different |;
now, what do you mean by that, sir2"
To this Tom promptly answered:
81 said that the notes In the two
copies were alike, but with different ac-
cent, the one being in common time, the
other in six-eighth time; and conse-
quently the position OF the accented
notes was different"
"Now, pray, sir, don't beat about the
bush, but explain to the jury, who are
supposed to know nothing of music, the
meaning of what you call accent"
Cooke "Accent in music is GER
tain stress laid upon particular note,
in the same manner as you would lay
stress upon any given word, for the pur-
pose of being better understood. Thus,
if were to say 'You are an ass, 1t
rests on ass; but if were to say Yom
are an ass, it rests on you, Sir James. "
Shouts of laughter by the whole court
followed this repartee. Silence at length
having been obtained the judge, with
much seeming gravity, accosted the
counsel thus
"Are you satisfied, Sir James,"

more than name), in great huff, said :

Fashion Notes.
Felt has had its day for hats.
In ornaments silver abounds.

In ornaments silver abounds.
Some of the feathers are tipped with
jet.
Link buttons are again fashionable in
place of sleeve studs.
Russian belts studded with silver nails
are a novelty.
Velvet will be the fashionable material
for dress bonnets.
Many tourists are investing in Indian
cashmere costumes.
The most fashionable earrings are
arrows of small diamonds.
There are bright silk pockets intro
duced to wear with any toilet.
The new blue violet velvet makes up
charmingly into fanciful bodices.
Silk skirts of cardinal red are talked
about to wear under cream colored pol
onaises.
After foliage and flowers fancy feath-
ers will be the favorite trimmings on
winter bonnets.
There is no doubt but that the Pc
culiar shade known as "cardinal red "
will be much patronized.
Six cards for fans and chatelaine bags,
and moire bows for the same purpose,
are replacing meta hooks and CHAINS.
There are velvets of two colose, such
as Havana brown and chestnut brown,
separated with thin yellow lines OF silk.
The new navy blue is almost black, it
is so dark in shade, and it is most stylish
when in combination with cardinal red.
In artificial floral trimmings, foliage is
preferred to flowers, especially dark,
quaint autumn leaves, spotted as If by
decay.
The crowns of some of the new
capotes are made entirely of feathers,
and the brim is bordered with band

New bonnets have high, pointed
crowns and close fitting capote fronts
in fact, the brim, or front, is so near the
head that there remains only space for
slight plating of lace or silk, or a
small twist.
At a recent fashionable wedding in
London the bride was dressed in ivory
colored satin, richly trimmed with point
lace. She wore a tulle veil over a
wreath of real orange blossoms and jes-
samine. Her six bridesmaids were at
tired in corn silk, with muslin trimmings
and wreaths of blue forget-me-nots and
white flowers. They carried bouquets
and iyorv PRAYER books, with silver
monograms, the gift of the bridegroom.
