FRIED OYSTERS. TO fry them Ia one
of the best ways to spoil good oysters
but many cooks will 80 serve them and
many people like them; for these the
following advice iG reasonable and
reasonable: Forbid peremptorily the
use OF hogs lard for oyster frying.
Even the most refined hogs lard is
still too gross and rank to be applied
to SC gamey and delicate meat as the
oyster. Fry them only In the very
best of sweet oil. Avoid another pre-
vaiilne mistake of frying too much ;
fry NOT to dark brown, but only TO a
Iicn golden brown. The former course
tends to make the oysters tough while
the plan of frying enly TO deep rich
yellow, leaves them tar more tender
with much higher oyster flavor.

NEW YORK has more fun out OF Its
transit lines than any other city In the
world. On the street railroads high
wayman enters the cars at convenient
intervals and robs the passengers; on
the elevated railroads they let a man
into the enclosure, and then the train
jumps out and leaves him. He grabs
the hand-rail and is jerked down on
some body's head below. A man can
ride down town In the street cars and
be robbed. and go back In the elevated
train and be manned for lite. Thusdo
the New York lines combine pleasure
with business.

DR. julius Schmidt has lately publish
ed that he finds from the observations
of the red spot on Jupiter, during a
period extending from 1870 to 1880,
that an interval of nine hours fifty

the rotation OF that planet upon its
own axis. But he is not quite sure
about the matter after all, and like a
wise and prudent man wants confr-
matory evidence.

with a single stroke severed the head
from the body.
Then the Frenchman's turn came next.
He, drawing narrow ribbon from his
pocket, tied it around the neck of his
victim; then, turning his back upon the
prisoner, his sword flew from it's scab
bard, and he turning on his heel at the
same time, with one stroke cut the head
from his victim, splitting the ribbon
through the center. Tremendous ap-
plause followed, and the universal opin-
ion was that he would certainly be the
victor.
Now came the yankees turn. He
calmly walked up to his man, drew his
sword with the rapidity of lightning, and
giving it flourish around his head,
sheathed it as quickly, and turning sa-
luted the commander. Kisses and groans
went up from the crowd, and the COM
mander sternly asked him what he meant
by such contempt. The Yankee, turn
ing to the man he was to have slain, said,
CIVIL you please to spit, sir?" The man
attempted to reply with the request,
when his head rolled off, it having been
SO quickly severed that he did not know
it until he went to move his head. The
Yankee wore the belt.

A Brave Soldier.

A German newspaper tells the story OF
Turkish soldier, which shows the
spirit that animates the privates of an
army poorly fed and blunderingly led.
A Greek surgeon, happening to be on
board one OF the steamers which ply on
the Dardanelles, found himself next to
a gray-headed Turkish soldier from
whose head ball and a piece of bone
had been extracted.
The surgeon asked the Turk how he
intended to earn his living when his
wound had healed and he had left the
army.
81 am not going to leave the Padi-
has service" said the Turk; L am 60
ing back to the war tomorrow.
Nonsense" retorted the Greek, " at
your age, and in your feeble state of
health! You must stay at home and
trust the defense of your country to your
JUNIORS
The Turk unused. "See," said he
quietly, after a moments pause, "fol

main but two things-to visit the Caaha

It was during the Crimean war that

had joined the allies, got into a dispute
as to which was the best swordsman.
The dispute finally grew SO hot as to end
in challenge to mortal combat. The
survivor to wear the laurels. AS dueling
was contrary to army regulations, and
the affair coming to the ear of the COM
handing officer he at once took measures
to put stop to it, but as all the officers
were anxious to witness trial between
these noted experts, he hit upon plan
that would test their skill and at the
same time not trangress any of the
"rules.
There were three prisoners under SEN
tence of death, and the commander de-
cided to let the belligerents act as exc
cutioners, and the one that would per-
form the action with the greatest skill
should be declared the victor. So on
the day appointed large number of
officers were present to witness the trial
of skill. The Englshman was the first
one called upon, and singing out his
man, drew his sword with fash, and

DisraeIi and His Brother

A remarkable trait in Disraei, and
one entirely alien to the customs Of his
race, was his entire severance from
family ties and his absolute ignoring,
socially, of his kith and kin. He Sc
cured for his brother James commits
sionership of Inland revenue, with a
salary of So, 900 year, and for Ralph a
clerkship in the house of lords, but he
never invited them to his dinners, nor
were they ever seen in his society, and
no mention is made of the presence of
Ralph James is dea0 during his last
moments. Disraeh could have had no
personal objection to his brothers, for
James and Ralph were sufficiently pre-
sentable Hebrews. He was intimate
with the Rothschilds, but his intimacy
with the people of his racetook no wider
range, and he fretted to childish de-
gree under the celebrated satire of
O'Connell.

What Eqyptians Eat,

The modern Egyptians are, in general,
extremely temperate in regard to food.
Even the richest among them take little
pride, and perhaps experience as little
delight, i'll the luxuries of the table
Their dishes mostly consist of piiaus,
soups, and stews, prepared principally
of onions, cucumbera, and other cold
vegetables, mixed with little meat, cut
into small pieces. On special occasions,
however, whole sheep is placed on the
festive board; but during several of the
hottest months Of the year the richest
restrict themselves entirely to a vege-
table diet. The poor are contented with
little oil or sour milk, in which they
may dip their bread.

The Sulphur Slaves of Sicily.
TFrom Social Notes.

The sulphur is extracted and brought
to the surface by human beings, and, in
deed, chiefly by children. Mrs. Brown
ing's "Cry of Children )" might have
been written in the sulphur mines of
Sicily. Hundreds and hundreds of
children who have scarcely the forms of
human beings are sent down the steep,
slippery stairs into the muddy, watery
depths. Here they are laden with as
much material as they can sustain, and
they must reascend with it on their
backs, stumbling at every step, often
falling back into the bottom of the pit
with broken limbs, or even dead. The
elder ones, writes an eyewitness, arrive
at the pits mouth shrieking, the little
ones crying and sobbing. The mortal
ity exceeds that Of any other province in
Italy; the statistics of the leva show an
Incredible number of lame and deformed,
any of young men of one-and-twenty to-
tally unfit for military service.
At the congress of Milan, Duke de
Cesaro di Colonna, one of the wealthiest
proprietors of the island, and Deputy
Luzzatti, have raised their voices in pro-
test against this barbarous, inhuman
system. In other provinces laws have
been passed to limit the number of work.
ing hours, to prevent women and child
rem from entering on occupations tn at
endanger their lives and health, but in
Sicily everything is in an abnormal con-
dition, and peopleanswer that remedy is
impossible. The contractors protest
that to deprive them of the cheap work
of children would be violation of their
contract. The mothers themselves ex-
claim that to prevent children from
working in the mines is equal to sem
tence OF starvation, and even members
of parliament pirate of the liberties of
the individual" of the "right of free
trade" and meanwhile the children toll
and suffer, are manned and murdered in
the name of "right" and elderly. 3"
Philanthropic Europe shuddered at the
scene in &c Uncle TOMS Cabin" now that
slavery is abolished let the abolitionists
go to Sicily and they will find fresh food
for their philanthropy. For in the
southern states the little slaves were prop
erty. There was profit to be gained
by feeding, clothing, rearing them for
the home plantations or for the market
But in Sicily no one is responsible for
the children. When one drops or dies,
ten are ready to take his place, and the
burden that falls from the lifeless skele-
ton of the one is strapped on the shout
