Oyster.Breedine I'm China.

Galignani's Messenger says: Like 30
many peculiar things i'm the Celestial
Empire, the system of breeding the
above-named bivalve differs widely from
that pursued in Europe or America. In
the southern part of China collectors"
OF bamboo are placed in the oyster beds,
much after the same fashion as the elab-
crate tiles and "hives" employed in
France. Those Oyster-catchers are,
however, prepared in a curious manner.
The canes are exposed for about two
months TO the rays Of the sun,
and then placed a similar period i'm salt
water, after which they are dried for
several days, the object being 10 pre-
serve them from decay and prevent the
twisting or warpiDg of the bamboo.
Notches are then cut in the canes. into
which empty oyster shells are fixed, like
so many cups, and thus prepared they
are driven into the seashore between
high and low water mark, and left stand

callties are considered best where the
rise and fall Of the tide is the greatest.

covered by the food and exposed 20 the
air on the ebb. There the young oysters
thrive well and deve'ope rapidly, and
are quite ready for the market when
they are two years old. large trade
Is carried on by the persons who pursue
the calling, and who have many thou

favorable situations, and some success

large fortunes. In China large quaint

being eaten in a fresh state For thai
purpose they are taken from the shells.
simply plunged into boiling water, and
then removed at once, after which pro.
cess they are exposed to the rays sf the
sun until every particle of moisture has
evapOrated. In that state they will
keep for a length Of time, and are said
to preserve all the deicacy of their flavor.
The finest and latest bivalves, bred and
fed on the leaves and cuttings Of the
bamboo, are selected for preparation
10y that method, those taken from the
natural beds being inferior in quality,
and not sufficiently plump to stand the
operation.

Hygiene of House Plnnts.

1t Is well known that the animal and
vegetable world are balanced over

works up into wood while the latter
gives out oxygen, which the former EN-

that plants in room help to keep the

This, however, is now found TO be A
mistake. Among the experiments in
proof are some made in the extensive
Royal Winter Garden in Munich, which
Is filled with vegetation, and is com.
pletely covered over with a huge dome

there is very nearly a. much carbonic

slightly more oxygen.

Furious Sharks.
New Raven Journal and Courier,

r.
As the large seine of the East Haven
Fishing Company was being drawn TO
shore recently, and when the catch was
close I'm 10 the sand beach and the heads
and tails OF thousand Of whitefish CON
stantly appeared and disappeared,
thickly filling the surface OF the water
in the net inclosure, an unusual aud
violent commOtiOn told Of the presence
Of more sharks in the net. On Wednes-
day one monster man-eater, eleven sect
long, was taken, and on Thursday, with
twenty-five thousand whitefish brought
To shore, there were five of the rapaciOus
monsters captured, one seven feet i'm
length, one six feet, and the rest smaller.
The capture Of these had whetted ex-
pectations of seeing more, although the
company are not at all anxious for their
appearance, owing 20 the danger of
thei1 tearing and thrashing the net TO
pieces. When the sharks were seen
yesterday they had not become aware
that they were prisoners, and were rush
ing about gOrging themselves on the
white-fish nj great rate. 1t was not
long before they found out that there
was trouble in the camp, and they
dashed the whitefish- filled water with
ia'hering the place with foam. Not TO
give the shark too much lee way, Mr..
MeaCham stepped out among the
thousands Of struggling whitefish, AK
in hand, and dealt two OF the largest
sharks each a powerful blow, which
seemed to stun them little. Then
with large, heavy iron hook in hand,
with a long rope attached reaching to
shore, he watched his chances. and at
the right moment struck the hook into
the nearest shark, and the hook taking
strong hold, the shark, with ten or
dozen sturdy men at the rope, soon
found himself on the sand.
Exciting scene on the beach. The
operation was repeated until we of the
ugly, thrashing intruders were making
the sand fly on the beech, and swapping
their saw-teeth in the most savage
fashion. 4 bean-pole inserted in the
mouth of one of them was held as in
wise, and pieces of board were bitten in
two. The three largest sharks were
measured with n foot-rule when lying
comparatively quiet The largest was
eight feet long the next seven, and the
third six feet. The other two were
three or four feet long but were active
and saucy enough. As soon as some of
the sharks found themselves on land they
discharged from their capacious jaws a
shower of whtefish. One of the smaller
sharks had his head bitten clean off in IA
trice when inserted in the open Jaws of
the eight-footer. A number of years
ago the Fishing Company seines brought
sixteen sharks to shore i'm one season,
and the catch this season is the largest
since then. The unusual number of
sharks in the harbor and along shore
this summer is partially accounted for
by the hot weather and the swarms of
white dsh focking in to feed. 1t might
be added that it behooves the small boy
to choose his battle-ground with some
show of discretion in view Of the shark
family's preference this season for the
shore.
