The Value of the Oyster
From the Chrs field eader.

From the Chrn field esder.
DIR. Wilson, in his second letter to
ippincott's Magazine, pronounccs
| the Chesapeake oyster to be the
best in all the world and claims
| that it is thoroughly and INSOFAR
ably mixed with all Eastern Shore
interest as is sugar in cupof coffee.
1t feeds all ella >es of Eastern
Shoremen; it gives employment to
thousands during a greater part OF
the year; it contributes largely to
popular education and public
rever ne; it tcrtilizes the land,
macademiZcs the roads, promotes
social intercourse, and keeps law
yers and physicians in good prac-
tice whenever watermclons fail to
such intent.
The oyster beds extend over
every part of the bottom of the
bay, from bars in the wider por-
tion of all tho rivers, and extend
far up inta the smaller creeks and
vet when one considers the i'm
mense numbers which are annually
taken. the inccS cSsant scraping by
tongs and dredges, the slow growth
of the animal and the innumcrablc
cnimies Of its unprotc ctrd young, it
seems wonderful that the supply
has not been long since exhausted.
The event of this industry is shown
in the fact that during the last fis-
cal year the revenue from license
To dredging vessels amounted to
Si2,319. In addition about $4,000
per annum are paid for longing
licenses, which latter revenue is
by law devoted to public school
purposes. The number OF bushels
taken each year is estimated at a.
100000 and they are SOLD at an
average OF thirty cents per bushel,
making an aggregate ofS4, ,4l0, 600.
This amount is exclusive of profits
on those opened and resold in
packages for preservation. The
business furnishes employment to
2o,35O persons, Of whom $3.50 re-
side on the Eastern Shore.-
Thirty-six hundred thousand bush
els are shipped direcLy y from points
on that side of the bay, and nine
million bushels are taken to Balti-
more, five-ninths of which are from
the peninsula.

How A Farmer Euchred His CITY

From tie Kingston Freeman.

From tie Kingston Freeman.
y gentleman who lives up the
railroad, having been pestercd by
relations from the city coming to
visit him every summer told his
wife last spring that'there must
be change in things. Ii she had
to work herself half to death dur.
ing the hot weather she might as
well get paid for it, SO he meant to
advertise for boarders. The good
wife acquiesced, and the result is
they have filled their house with

docking ofrates the transportation
business has immensely increased,
and the companies find that their

those for the corresponding periods
of previous years. They are con-
cedcd to be far larger th1n they
would have been had the old prices
prevailed in this period of CONNER
cial prostration. We doubt not
that the coal companies would
have the same experience if they
would boldly meet the universal

INFANT MoRTA11Tr.-Le Bulletin Fran
eais has called attention to a plan which
has in view diminution Of the extraor-
binary death rate among infants. It is
stated that among 100 individuals in
France there are reckoned only2.54 births,
while in Russia there are AIT. Other
countries offer intermediate proportions.
Thus 100 marriages in Prussia give 400
Infants; in France only 800. The annual
excess OF births over deaths calculated for
a million inhabitants is in Norway and
Prussia about 1000; in Russia and Swe-
den, about 10000; in Spain and Portugal,
$500, and in France, only 2,400. It ap.
pears from such statistics that the popu.
tation OF France would double in 17Q
years, while ~ years would suffice for
Prussia, 81 for England, and Go for Rus
sia. Worse than this, however, is the
fact, as stated by NJ. Broehard, that 10O,-
900 nurslings annually die in France
from starvation and misery. It appears
too that while infants who are nursed by
their mothers and wet-nurses at home die
during the first year in the proportion OF
s or 10 in 100Ithose who are placed away
from home, under hospital care and mu-
nicipal direction, give q mortality Of 80 TO
SO in 100, and those who are intrusted to
nurses in the provinces show the enor-
nous mortality OF from so 10 70 in 100.
With the design Of developing maternal
nursing, therefore, and Of caring for the
nursing when it has to be removed from
the family, there has been instituted at
Paris under efficient auspices the Protec-
tive Society Of Infancy. .a4. a..
