WHY WE EAT OYSTERS RAW.-Dr. VIM. Rob-
erts. in his interesting lectures on the digestive
fermehtS, says: "Our practice in regard to the
oyster is quite exceptional, and furnishes
striking example Of the general correctness OF
the popular judgment on dietetic questions.
Tie oyster is almost the only animal substance
which we eat ha5itually, and by preference, In
the raw or uncooked state; and it is interesting
to know that there Is a sound physiological
reason at the bottom Of this preference. The
faWn-colored mass which constitutes the dainty
OF the oyster is It's liver, and this is little less
than heap Of glycogen. Associated with the
glycogen, but Withheld from actual contact
with 1t during life, is its appropriate digestive
fermeht-the hepatic diastase. The mere
crushing OF the dainty between the teeth
brings these two bodies together, and the gly-
cogen Is at once digested without other help By
Its own diastase. The oyster in the unlocked
state or merely warmed, is, in tact, self digest
I've. But tie advantage OF this provision is
wholly lost by cooking: Tor the heat employed

pnLITICAL POINTS.


The fact that j. Wilkes Booth left be-
hind him no lineal descendants Will
readily account for the profuse paucity
of candidates for the vice presidency.
The zeal with which the anti-Tilden
Democrats in Washington try to believe
the rumor of Mr.. Tilden's withdrawal
suggests the suspicion that they are not
us sure of it as they wish they were.
If Tilden gets the nomination-as he
may depend upon ii
that he has already discounted kelly's
vote and is willing to try the issue with
the Republicans after Tammany is out of
the way.
The Democrats of Maine will hold
their state convention ON the first OF
June, to elect delegates to the Cincinnati
convention. Will they endorse the pol
icy of their party by instructing for
Garcelon:
The amicable relations existing be-
tween the Tildcn and Tammany factions
of the New York Democracy are only
rivalcd by the pleasant amenities OF a
brace OF Kilkenny cats strung ON pole
