Shell Fish Commissioners

The Shell Fish Commissioners were in ses- sion yesterday and heard testimony concern ing the oyster grounds of Savin Rock, about one hundred acres in extent. On November 15, Cabel Luddingtion filed an application to have it set off to him. Henry C. Rowe filed g written objection, claiming that the land had been deeded to him. When maps were examined by the commissioners it was found that the wrong piece of ground had been ap- piled for by Mir. Luddington The applicant himself admitted it. So did Surveyor Searle. who came at MT. Luddington's suggestion to the hearing.
 Then came up discussion as to where the lines which bound the property in question ran. It was a hard thing to decide. En- gineer Bogart thought that Savin Rock was in one place. A different location was given to it by the surveyor who came with Mr. Luddington. Then MT. Luddington ex- pressed his opinion as to where he thought people always considered Savin Rock as be- ing located. Clerk Botsford said, at the suggestion of Mir. Rowe, that he always con- sidered Sayin Rock where the bluff of rocks is. MT. Woodruff wanted 8 monument there. The commissioners went into execu- tive session and afterward notified Mr. Rowe that his claim appears to be good.

Home After Business Hours.

The road the man OF business trave,s
in pursuit of competence or wealth is not
a macadamized one, nor does il ordina-
rily lead through pleasant scenes and
by well-springs of delight. On the cor
trary. it is a rough and rugged path be-
set with wait-a-bit" thorns. and full
of pitfalls which can only be avoided ty
the watchful care of circumspection.
After each days journey over this worse
than rough turnpike road. the wayfarer
needs something more than rest; he re-
quires solace-and he deserves it. He
is weary of the dull prose of life, and
athirst for its poetry. Happy is the
business man who can find that poetry
and solace at home Warm greetings
from loving hearts, fond glances from
bright ewes and welcome shouts of chill
dren, and many little arrangements for
comfort and enjoyment that silently tell
of thoughtful and expectant love; the
gentle ministrations that beguile us into
an old and easy seat before we are aware
of it; these and like tokens of affection
and sympathy constitute the poetry
which reconciles us to the prose of life.
Think of this, We wives and daughters
of business men!

we inclose it. through this love of van
ity, in a tight-iitting case of leather.
constructing all its movements, and
causing all the pressure of the body 10
come on those parts which bv nature
are most untitled to bear it. The high
and narrow heels help materially to
further delorm and hurt the feet. and
by throwing the body forward are I'M
doubtedly preiudicia to a healthy con-
diton of the spine; and the thin soles
of these pretty boots produce +" cold
feet" in the possession of which there
is neither comfort nor, / am afraid,
health. and. in the second place, very
commonly lead TO the large majority of
colds, to which may often be attributed
many lifelong misery. Even moder-
ately tight-iittng boots will in time
cause all those discomforts of the feet
which render the ordinary walk thing
to be dreaded; corns. bunions, ingrow-
ing toe-nails. chilblains; all these are
the wages we pay for having pretty
