Very Greasy.

The latest London industry is the col.
lection of oleaginous deposits in the mud
cf the Thames. It is quite profitable,
the mud gatherers making three shil-
lings and sixpence day: Small globes
made of cork and lined with hair are
planted in the mud at low tide and the
fatty substances in the water adhere to
them. This miscellaneous grease is
into fresh butter for the
London market.

The TeetOtal Mill.

Two oily topers once Eat i'll an inn,
Discussing the merits OF brandy and gin.
Said o,.e 20 the other: "Itel You what, Bill,
I've been hearing to-day CT the teetotal nlll
"You mus: know that this comical mill has
been built
or old broken casks when the liquors been
split;
You 20 up some high steps, and when at the
the sill,
You've paper to sign at the testotal mill.
"You promise by sigping this paper, think,
Inst ale, wine and spirits you never will drink;
You gave mp Gas they call it) such rascsly
swill,
And then YOU 60 into the teetotal mill
There's whesl in the mill they call self
denial,
They turn il a bit just to give you trial;
Old clothes are made new, and, if you've been
III.
You're very soon cured at the teetotal mill"
Bill listened ard wondered at length he cried:
.Why, Tom. if it's true what you're telling
about,
What fools We must be to be here sitting still
LIE, us 90 and We II look at the teetotai mill. y
They gazed with amazement then came in a
man,
With e1aess and disease his visage was wan ;
He mounted the steps, signed the pledge with
awii,
And went 10 for turn in the teetotal mill.
He quickly came out the picture Of health,
And walked bri.kly on the highway to wealth
And as onward he pressed, he shouted out
still
success to the wheel Of the teetotal mill.
The next that went in were man and his wife;
For many long years they'd been living III
strife;
He hsd beat and abused her and swore he
would kill,
Rnt bis Lsart took q turn in the teetotal mill.
And when he came out, how altered was he
Steady, honest and sober-how happy was
she?
They no moro contend, "No you chant
eyes, / will,
They were blessing together the teetotal mill
Next came rough fellow, as grim as Turk,
To curse snd to swear seemed his principal
work;
Hs swore that shat morning "his skin h
would fil,"
Aud drunk as no was he reeled into the mill,
Aud what he saw there one nsver could tell
Bot his concuct vas changed, and his Ian
gUase vas Well;
. A.d when Lo hsd turned round the brow OF
tho hill,
He kn,lt AID thanked God for the teetotal
mil.
Thepoor were made rich, the weak were made
strong,
The shot was made short and the purse was
made long;
These miracles puzzled both Thomas and Bill,
At lspgth they went in for a turn on the mill.
A little while after heard great shout;
1 TUNED round to zee what the noise. was
.- about
A fisg was conveyed to the top Of the hill,
And q crowd among which were Thomas and
Bill
Were shouting: "Hurrah for the teetotal
milk"

NEWSPAPER LyINe.-Some people have an
idea that newspapers win lie. Others are SO
wise that they will only believe a newspaper
report when they think it would be easier for
the paper to tell the trnth thon 10 tell lie.-
Others think ii the evidence of flashing wit to
reject with derisive laugh any evidence for
authority which comes from I" the papers. ~
To such an extent has this thoughtless judg-
ment of the press been carried, that much Of
its sphere of usefulness has been circumscrib-
cd. 1t is true there must be some occasion
for this widespread impression" there must
be some fire where there is SO much smoke y
yet how many men can show record for cor
rectness accuracy, and truthfulness, that will
at once compare with the average newspaper |?
The editor gathers his news from thousand
sources, from acquaintance and strangers,
from letters and papers. He Sits and culls,
hunts and details, and endeavors to get the
straight" Of every story he publishes, for Il
goes to the world over his own name, and
be knows that in great measure no wiz be
held responsible The private individual hears
piece of gossip, listens carelessly, tells it to
another with equal carelessness and IL called
upon for details, in nine cases out of ten can
not give enough Of them to make an intell:-
gent item for paper. " Writing makes an
exact man, says Lord Bacon the newspap-
or verifies the truth of the statement. Let
any one who doubts this, sit down and put on
paper some piece of gossip, with the purpose
of having it printed over his own name, and
he will see in a moment how little he knows
about matter he thought himself familiar
with. And he will wonder, not that the news
paper should contain occasional inaccuracies
and misstatements, but that it contains SO
few. And his wonders will wonderfully in
crease when he remembers that the editor
has to depend for much Of what he pabfish-
es on the common run Of mankind Bridge

MISCELLANY.

How THE OYSTER BUILDS Hrs SHE'LL
Mr. Frank auckland, who conveys instruc-
tion more agreeably than any other natural
list of the day, thus explains the manner in
witch an oyster builds its shell. The body
of an oyster is poor weak thing apparent
ly incapable of doing anything at all. Yet
what marvellous house an oyster builds a.
round his delicate frame. When an oyster o
first born he is born with two shells upon
him. For some unknown reason he always
fixes himself ON his round shell, never by
his fiat shell, and being once fixed he be-
gins to grow--but he only grows in Sum-
mer. Inspect an oyster shell closely, and it
will be seen that it is marked with distinct
lines. AS the rings we observe on the trunk
of a tree denote years of growth, SO do the
markings on an oyster tell us how many
years he has passed in his bed " at the
bottom Of the sea.
Suppose the oyster under inspection was
born June 18th, 1870, he would 60 on grow
ing up to the first line we see marked /; he
would then stop for the winter. In summer,
1871, he would more than double his size. In
1872 he would again add to his house. In
1873 and 1874 he would go on building, till
he was dredged up in the middle of his work
in 1876; SO that he is plainly five and half
years old.
The way in which an oyster grows his shell
is pretty sight. have watched it frequent
ly. The beard of an oyster is not only his
breathing organ, i. e., his lungs, but also his
feeding organ, by which he conveys the food
to his complicated mouth with its four
lips. When the warm, calm days of June
come, the oyster opens his shell, and by
means Of his beard begins building an add-
tional story to his house. This he does by
depositing very fine particle Of carbonate of
lime till at last they form a substance as thin
as silver paper, and exceedingly fragile. Then
he adds more and more, till at last the new
shell is as hard as the old shell. When oys-
tiers are growing their shells must be handled
very carefully, as the new growth of the shell
will cut like broken glass, and wound on
the finger from an oyster shell is often very
poisonous.
