A Cry for More Oysters.

At the same time that the more
thoughtful and observant are uttering
protests against the extinction by whole
sale dredging, of the oysters Of the
Chesapeake and its tributaries, there
comes n cry from England for more
American oysters, The New York
Herald quotes from u private business
circular which has found its way into
the Office of that paper, The circular
in question is piteous appeal to be
furnished with more oysters, on the
grohnd that the supply in the English
market falls below the demand. The
trader in question states that nearly
twenty-eight million American biyalyes
were eaten In England between the mid
die of October and the day Of the new
year. Between March and May is the
season for planting, and when the de-
mand on this account is supplied IL is
estimated that no less than fifty millions
of our oysters will have been either de-
voured or naturalized in Great Britain.
This exhibit only makes it more appar'
ent that the oyster beds Of the Chesa.
peake and It's tributaries-the chief
source Of supply for the most succulent
bivalves-- must be protected from de-
pletion, II an industry promising such
large proportions and valuable returns
Is TO be- fostered. There is food IN this
English circular for the Maryland and
Virginia Legislatures.

more desiccated marine informa-
tom" squealed Mr.. Spoopendyke, ang-
ling for himself around in the bottom Of
the boat and wondering who had nailed
church across his back. That's your
notion Of sailing! Is'pose you've got
some kind of a dog house idea that this
packet goeSby steam! Well, it don't,
tell YER and his voice arose as he
found that it was athwart and not a
church. 1T goes by wind. when the
wind knows enough to blow! Hear
that? Ferry boat Oh, ferry boat"
At this point his voice sank into the bit
terest sarcasm. you've got it down
fine, You see through this business!
All you want is fog horn and State
Central Committee Endorsement to be
Secretary of the Navy! If | had your
Intelligence on maritime affairs, I'd buy
cooked hat, apply for pension and
advertise myself as an admiral in search
Of a respectable job and offer the best
city references! How are we going to
get ashoreP'
1--WE are ashore, DEAR" replied Mrs.
Spoopendyke.
Mr.. Spoopcndyke ducked under the
sail, which had all along prevented him
from seeing the situation, and discoy-
cred for the first time that his boat was
well up on the land.
"Dod CAST the shore" he Selled.
"Why didn't you tell me there had been
a land slide? Why didn't you let me
know that the channel had shifted?
WHY"
But we've been here all the timer
demonstrated Mrs. Spoopendyke.
Mr.. Spoopendyke looked at her help
lessy for moment. Then he stepped
ashore, and hauled his wife after him.
The next instant he sent the boat into
the stream with vigorous kick, and
iammng his hands into his pockets led
the way to the railroad bridge without
word.
Il don't care, painted Mrs, Spoopen-
dyke struggling along after him. I'VE
had real pleasant SAIL and the only
tisle the thing didn't 90 sideways was
when it was stuck in the mud"
That's the worst of them skiilsm
muttered the fisherman, who had
watched the sailing exploit with pro-
found interest, They amt got any
keel nor center board. and man may
sit all day on lee shore and think he's
maxim ninety knots an hour, till the
wind changes, jibes his sail and shows
him to himself half way up tree!'--

Naming a Lake.


Years ago, it was discovered that
certain lake which had long been con-
sidered the head of the Mississippi, had
no claim to that honor The explorers
found a new and smaller lake from
which the great river took its rise. A
discussion arose as TO what name would
be appropriate for it. The story is that
it was decided in this way:
Lets make a new name by coming
a word, ~ said an old yoyageur "Some
of you larned ones tell me what is the
Latin for true,
"YerttdS," answered a scholar,
"Wel, now, what is the Latin for
headF'
"Cdput"
Now write the two words together
by syllables,"
The scholar wrote on a strip Of birch
bark "cer-t-taS-ca-pW"
"Read il out"
The five sylIables were read,
"Now drop the first and last syllables,
and you'll have a good name for this
lake" And "Itasca' it was.
