Everything connected with Tunisia
appears to carry ill,luck. A collec.
ton of odds and ends from ancient
Utica is being exhibited in the
Louvre, for which an admission fee
/ eli one franc ia demanded, q rule that
, gives general offence, as all public
. museums are free. But then the
Tunisian war is very expensive. and
an honest penny is not to be despised
: more especially as one of the indict-
; ments against the unfortunate cab
met is. that OF having carried on the
war by appropriating grants voted in
the peaceful chapters of the budget.
The Academy of Sciences protests
in the name OF learned France,
against the translations on one of the

a "Bill Stumps. His Mark" look.

Thsne. the goddess of the bakers, "
or perhaps Queen Dido's pastry
cook. 1t looks more like the
scribblings by the way of some an
l;ique AIRY. An old soldier states
that one of the principal causes ct
the fever and dysentery which dsci-
mate the young troops is TO be found
in the manner in which they are
transported. Ordered for the war,
they quit the barracks and in time
arrive at the port for embarking |;
here they are locked up in caravan
sary, where nothing exists save the
walls and accumulated filth; On
board, overcrowded and next to being
baked between decks; during the
passage ssrdines, not meat, are pa
tronized, for az o'clock a bullock is
slaughtered on deck, and by 5 dished
up. When the soldiers land in At
RIGA they rsvenously attack the luE-
cious fruits, melons, ETC., which in
vsriably brings on internal disorders.
Oysters are little more plentiful
this year. and 80 possessing less the
character OF luxury. Doctors pre-
scribe them freely for patients, and
so far can commit no error. The BIZ
valves are not very fat this season,
due perhaps, as Horace would ex-
plain, to the influence OF the moon
According to analysis, oysters contain
10 per cent. OF fatty matter when
milky" they are not good, that
being q state peculiar to their
reproduction, and B0nohsrdat has
shown that animals in such q
stage, undergo modification of their
constitution. Thus in the months
without the re, oysters are foY this
reason not eaten. 1t is on record
that the cases Of poisoning occurred
in Septembers, the most notorious
being that of Henri II. This merry
monarch suffered simply from over
eating them. frequently sulphste of
copper is employed TO green the flesb;
this can easily be detected by plupg- |
ing a needle into the green part, then |
into drop of vinegar; if copper be |
present, 1t will show as red atoms on |
the needle. "How do oysters make |
lover" was question Voltaire often |
asked. They unite ia themselves the
s"o sexes. The juice OF the oyster
which is but mixture of sea water
and the blood OF the animal, is drank
till the last drop in France, and is
prized for infants az aiding digestion.
as to employing vinegar or lemon
juice with oysters, that appears TO be
a prejudice. resulting from the belief
that they aided to digest the fish,
