G.. Francklyn, who is first cousin to Sir
Beach Cunard, Bt., and is now a gentle
man of between 80 and 40 years of age,

agent of the Cunard line of steamers,
but concluded last winter to resign this
lucrative position on account OF many
other business engagements, chief
among which is the Presidency of the
Municipal Gaslight Company, and the
Presidency of a silver mine in Utah, in
which he is also principal shareholder.
Mr.. Francklyn is married to very beau
tiful and accomplished American lady, q
daughter of ex-Gov. Hoyt, from which
marriage two children have sprung

boy of IL, like his father, a

not reside, with her parents, for the

the healthiest spot perhaps in the United
States. Yes, believe as travellers the
Francklyn family will remain I'M

winter they have come to town
and everybody believes them comforta-
bly, settled with their twenty-three SER
wants, elegant carriages and superb
horses, they charter a steam yacht and
off they are to Cuba, to enjoy a tropical
climate for week or two. Back again,
they give half dozen balls and score
of dinner parties to everybody who is
anybody, but, before these Inequalities
can be returned, they are gone to En-
gland, where Mr.. Francklyn, who is
very enterprising, has, no doubt, some
iron in the fire. Just now they are out
West bear-hunting, with Miss Gwladys
dressed as boy, accompanied by Sir
Beach Cunard and Mr.. Balfour, young
Scotchman of noble lineage.

West Point Conversation.

As fascinating, captivating sons of

Flowers.

All lovers of flowers should remember
that one blossom allowed to mature or
go to seed Injuries the plant more than a
dozen new buds. Cut your flowers all
of them before they begin Ia fade.
Adorn your rooms with them, put them
on your table; send bouquets to your
friends who have no flowers, or exchange
favors with those who have. You will
find that the more you cut off the more
you will have. All roses, after they
have ceased to bloom should be cut back.

form new roots for the next year.

THE Finance Minister of Canada, Sir
Leonard Tilley, has completed his annu-
al financial statement for the fiscal year
ending June 30. So great has been the
prosperity of the country, and SO rapid
the increase of wealth under the foster
ing influence of the national policy, that
the actual surplus for the fiscal year
18SO-S1 is 81, 1921 Sir Leonard es-
timated surplus of little over $780,
600, and the grand result has created a
great surprise throughout Canada. The
free traders are greatly chagrined at
the result, which will undoubtedly tend
to strengthen the conservative party at
the approaching election in 1888. A
large portion will be utilized in redeem
ing the per cent. Dominion bonds, of
which there is an issue of $65, 000, 900, and
the rest will probably be expended in
the improvement of canals and harbors.

EVEN the "King of Kings" suffers oc-
casionally from toothache. Not long
ago the Shah of Persia underwent, in
the presence of his entire court, the
dangerous operation of having one of his
teeth extracted. The operation was a
success certainly financially, for not
less than 5000 ducats were sent to him
in single day by his faithful subjects as
"congratulatory offerings" The fee Of
the European dentist who attended him
was 100 ducats.

A MOST unfattering view OF New York
is taken editorially by the Philadelphia
Times, which AYERS that even New York
ers "are beginning to recognize that
Manhattan island is the poorest apology
for great city to be seen in the civil
lied world" From the same source it
is learned that there is not among the
races of men more squalid, ignoble,
uninviting stretch of indulgence and in
dustry than the water fronts of Manhat-
tan island, from Spuyten Duyvil to the
Battery, on both rivers" As for our
architecture, with the exception OF few
residence streets, it is "more repulsive
than the Ghettos of the old German
cities. Broadway itself does not COM
pare with hundreds of streets in Lon
don, Paris, Vienna, or Berlin. Its irreg-
ular attitudes, its piebald buildings and
tasteless architecture leave stranger
in doubt whether he is in the capital of
Morocco or the ruined cities of the
plain.

IMAGINATION,

The following story is told by an old
physician of Worcester county, Massachu-
sets:
was called into neighporing town to
visit patient. 1t being about the middle
of the day the old gentleman of the house
lover 60 years oldl invited me to stop and
dine. At dinner he says:
&c l don't know as you like my dinner. "
Why, yes" said l " l do l like it
very well it's very good.
. 1 guess you don't know what you are
eating ?"
Why, yes do" said sit is some
new corned beef"
"Ah, said the old gentleman, " it is
horse beef.

of my old mare"

that time l looked at him supposing him
to be Joking, but could not discover a
muscle of the face to alter or change. l
had just taken another piece on my plate
and mouthful of the second slice in my
mouth, and, in fact, it was horse-meat

the negro said, would not go. l at last

afterward tasted little sauce, but took
care not to put any more meat into my
mouth, and kept time with the family.
Glad was / when dinner was over. 1t being
cool weather the old gentleman went to
smoking and telling stories. At last he
says:
81 won't leave you in the dark about
your dinner. l told you we had horse
meat for dinner, and so it was. l told you
it was some of my old mare, and SO it was,
for l snapped her away for steer, and
that was some of the beef.

ABOUT OYSTERS.

"Among all the hundreds of persons
who open oysters in this city there is not
one who opens them ON the European plan, J"
reporter. 81 have lived in your country
twenty six years, and during all that time
have seen only one oyster opener who
knew his business. That man was at the
famous old Maison Doree, in Fourteenth
street. Here the Frenchman heaved a
sigh. Martinez, poor fellow, had to adver-
tise for weeks before ne got him, and I'm
not sure but the oyster opener at last had
to be imported. There is a correct way for
doing almost everything, and generally the
correct way is the easiest, as in this matter
of opening oysters. The way to open an
oyster so as to save all the liquor, which, to
connoisseurs, is valuable part, is not
to smash it and murder it, as most
of your oyster-openers do, nor to
stab it, as they do in Boston, Baltimore,
Washington, and other places. And then
your oyster-openers always lay out the
oyster on the fiat or convex shell, so that
by the time your plate of raw on the half
shell comes to you, what little juice that
was not spilled in the slaughtering has all
run away. The live oyster opens and
closes its shells at will by means OF tough
little membrane, or hinge, about quar-
ter or a third of an inch in length. This
hinge is at the small or narrow end of the
oyster. 1t follows that all that is needed
to be done to separate the two shells,
whether the oyster is alive or dead, is to
sever this little hinge. 1t is invisible when
the shells are closed, but those who under
stand the business land anyone can learn
it in five minutes) know exactly where and
how to find it. l have showed this little
trick to scores of oyster-openers, but, be-
cause it is little difficult at first, they
go on with their mauling and stabbing.
cured this French oyster opener, who
knew his business, he set him at work at
the side of the man who opened after the
barbarous fashion still in vogue in this
country. What was the result? Why, he
opened two oysters while the other man
was opening one, and every oyster that he
opened was laid out on the deep shell with
out drop of the fluid being lost. 1t is
one of the greatest pleasures in the world
to eat oysters opened in that way. But you
Americans always go in for appearances.
And when | ask an oyster opener why he
doesn't give me my oysters on the deep
shell, even if he must open them in the
wrong way, he always says he presents
them on the fiat or convex shells because
they look better so? An oyster is the only
thing that l know of that can be received
with IMMUNITY into collapsed stomach too
feeble to secrete the digestive fluids. Ply
siologists have discovered the singular fact
that the oyster contains these fluids in it.

selves. have eaten oysters with keen
relish when the mere sight or even the
thought of any other kind of food would
make me sick. > New York Sun.

SHIPPING LIVE Hoes TO EUROPE "A
curious experiment has been tried in Ger
many for some months past with success.
1t is the importation of live hogs from the
United States at the port of Bremerhaven,
from whence they are shipped to Hanover,
finding ready market at Brunswick,
Magdeburg, Cassel, and other North Ger
man cities. Last June decree was issued
forbidding the importation of American
chopped pork and sausage into Germany,
presumably on trichinatous grounds, and
some ingenious butchers hit upon this
method OF evading the act, which said
nothing about live hogs. 1t was at first
thought that so many hogs would die upon
the voyage as to make the experiment
rather unremunerative, a loss of ) per cent.
being the lowest that was thought proba.
BILE. Experience, however, has proved
that the loss is under % per cent, which
gave such an impetus to the undertaking
that company has been formed for the
purpose of building lairs for the arrivals at
Bremerhaven, which is to be the hog depot
for Germany, the animals being killed there
and dispatched into the interior by rail.
The American hog has more fat substance
and less meat than his German relative,
and suggestion has been made to import
number of German pigs into America for
breeding purposes.
