A Pearl Farm.

The cultivation of edible oysters, as car
rIed on at Whitstable, Rochester, aud tn
Isle OF light, and, above all, in the oysters
lJdrcs on the west coast OF France, is, with the
h'gb prices realized by these bivalves, a very
reInpneTative enterprise. There are, OF
course, many risks to be ruu, but in a sue
cessfnIly conducted oyster farm the under
taking gives wonderfully profitable results.
This beiE the case with ONrea efIiis, worth,
even at the present high prizes, only two
pence or threSpence apiece. it is prObab e
that If the cult walton of the pearl bearing
oyster. or mussel, could be similarly carried
on, even greater profits would be secured.
This, at least, seems TO have been the kind
OF argument which has com mended itself TO
The notice OF Lieut.. Marriott, of the French
navy, who has been spending his leisure
hours In the South Pacific in rearing the
peaIl oyster In artificial reservoirs. His ex-
periInents have been attended with such
good results that he has actually induced his
oysters to produce what Mr.. Buckland Is SO
anxious to See IN this cOuutry-a "gOod fall
OF spat." III not In England with the native
oyster, at least in the Pacific with its pearl
producing cousin, cheat and tranquility"
appear TO be the secrets OF success in the art
OF breeding these mollusks. Tue next thing
to getting them to produce young Is to in
duce the young TO live and grow; and, final
ly, To prevail upon the creatures to fulnl the
tence and manufacture gigantic pearls. The
island Of POmotOu, In Oceanta, Is the scene
OF n. M4r1Ocs experiments, and bis success
i Leo IN nun 70 in%HSe some Irtsnds TO at
oyster to French waters, and there to add
pearl farm To the already 1ourishing indus
tries connected with the production OF edible
oysters. The manufacture OF artificial
pearls, as carried on by the Chinese and by
kkilled artists In Vienna and Paris, Is reach
ing so high state OF perfection that it DIM
cult TO detect the difference between the real
and sham gems. But the trade has led tosan
increase In the value Of real pearls, and the
man who can produce actual gems on his
own farm may calculate ON the Immediate
ro8li ZRtiOn of n fortune.

A FIy's Toilet.

The toilet OF the fly is as carefully attended
10 as that of the most frivolous of human
insects. With contempt for the looking
glass-an article which he reserves for the
most fgnoble uses-he brushes himself up
and wabbles his little round head chuck full
OF vanity, wherever he happens TO be. Some
times, after long day OF dissipation aud dirt
ing with his Six small legs and little round
body all sOiled with strip, and butter, aud
cream, he passes out of the dining room aud
wings his way 10 the clean white cord along
which The morning glories climb, and in
This retired spot, Needless of the crafty spi.
der that Is practicing gymnastics few feet
sweeten himself for the refreshing repose
and soft dreams OF the balmy summer night
so necessary to one who Is expected TO be
early at breakfast. 1t Is a wonderful
toilet. Resting himself on his front and
middle legs, he throws his hind legs
rapidly over his body, binding down his
frail wings for an instant with the pressure
then rsking them over with backward mo-
ton, which he repeats until they are bright
and clear. Then he pushes two legs along
his body under the wings, giving that queer
structure q thorough currying, every now
and then throwing the legs out and rubbing
them together to remove what ne has col
Iected nom his corporal surface. Next he
goes TO work upon his van: Resting on his
hind legs and middle legs, he raises his two
fOrelegs and begins vigorous scrapinY OF hi
head and shoulders, using his proboscis
every little while To push the accumulation
from his limbs. AT times he is so energetic
That II seems as IL he were trying TO pull his
head OFF. but no fly ever committed suicide.
Some of his motions very much resemble
those OF pussy at her toilet. II is plain, even
10 the naked eye, that he does his work
thoroughly, for when he has flushed he
looks like a new fly, SO clean and neat has
he made himself within few minutes. The
white cord is defiled, but Floppy is himself
again, and he bids the morning glories a
very good evening. - LOsstsciQe Courier-

a RELIGION OF CHARACTER These in
dications point TO the Identification OF re-
liglOn with personal character, character At
once In its simplest and largest sense; a
right doing-the faithful, patient pursuit OF
all moral excellence; as aspiration and toll
toward a perfect manhood, a manhood firm
ly planted in fidelity to all human and
earthly relationships, and bound by con-
sciOus and vital kinsbip TO the spiritual
power OF the universe. This religion, when
fully developed, Will recognize goodness
as the one thug needful; 1t will
lind the nOblest employment Tor all lofty aud
spiritual faiths in applying them to produce
integrity, purity, love, joy, peace, In the
lives of men; IL will find in such fruit the
best approval of the faiths that nurtured 1t;
IL will, let us hope, by making morally bet
ter, and purify ing their minds OF the animal
ism, bitterness and selfshness that dim the
moral vision, enable them TO discern as by
intuition the great spiritual realities about
which we question, thus making good the
promise that the pure In heart shall see God.
While a rel giOn OF character Will thus be in
the strongest sympathy with spiritual faith
IL will not condemn any man, Whatever his
belief, who in his life is pure and benevolent,
IL will lot be afraid To accept the teaching of
Jesus, that the supreme testquestion Is
whether we have ministered to the hungry,
the naked, the sOrrOwful and the SHINING. 1t
will sffiim without reservation that the only
real heresy is wrong doing.-l George s. Mer-
