Well, guess you've struck the truth this
time. have got an oyster-bed in No-Mouth
Lake. and they seem to be doing well. I'll

drag out some oysters and show you"
| No-Mouth Lake, should say, was 100 rods
| long and 60 rods wide. 1t is very deep at one
end-I suppose so feet-while at the other Il
is shallow. with gravel and sand bottom.
One peculiarly about the lake is that il has
no outlet. Two brooks run into it; but the
water either soaks into the sand or evaporates
Its depth never changes. The whole county
of Rescommon is situated on divide. From
the west side the waters run west into Lake
Michigan; from the south side they run
| southerly toward Saginaw Bay; and from the
north side they run toward Grand Traverse.
The county is on the summit. Mr.. Powell
and the men rowed out about 20 feet from the
shore at the mouth of one OF the brooks, in
water about five feet deep, and dragged UP
some oysters. They were as good.looking
oysters as had ever seen in Oyster Bay or
along the Shrewsbury river. They were fat
and healthful. Noticing the water was salt,
was filled with wonder

Shrewsbury river"
"Well, oysters won't live in fresh water.
will they?" asked Mr.. Powell, smiling.
"They say the ocean gets its salt from the
Goldfish; but this lake did not get its salt from
the oysters"
"Where did it come from?" asked
"Well, I'll tell you the history of my oys-
ter-raising in the centre Of Michigan. used
to live at South Oyster Bay, on Long Island.
We always used to plant the oysters at the
mouths of the f-esh water streams, where
they ran into the bay. An oyster wants half
fresh and half salt water. Now, found I

there is an outlet. it is through the sandy
bottom. Now, salt won't run through sand.

so. My cars, taking lumber to Saginaw, had
to come back empty. Salt costs nothing but
the pumping in Saginaw; so shipped back
so carloads of salt, and put it in No. Mouth
Lake. Then l sent to Smith Robinson, at
South Oyster Bay, and had him ship me 10
barrels of small oysters--little fellows no
larger than marbles, and some of them the
size of peas. | put them in the lake, at the
mouth of the two fresh-water brooks. They
have grown right along. Now I'm putting ia
some other saltwater fish like clans and
bluefsh, and they'll grow, too. If keep my
lake just as salty as Oyster Bay, know that
any fish living in Oyster Bay will live here"
On arriving at the honse, Mr.. Powell gave
us an oyster breakfast-raw oysters as good
as Blue Points, broied oysters on skewers,
and fried oysters-all from his lake in the
centre of Michigan.-Cor. Denrsv Tribune

be considered as great necessity in the

she did it would probably make no difference

ALL WORTH Remembering,
rgCUT THEM OUT.A

People take nauseating doses for every
pain and ache, which put their stomachs out
of order, and then a physician is called to
attend to them. This is all needless, for if
the Hop Plaster is used, it is absorbed into
the system IN just the way to cure without
bringing on other troubles.
medicine to be popular must be both
agreeable and efficacious the Hop Plaster is
rare union of vegetable agents combined
with safety. reliability and effectiveness. The
indiscriminate use of medicines taken inter-
nally is far more productive of injury than of
benefit.
The most powerfully medicated and effec-
tive plaster ever evented is the Hop Plaster;
it embodies all the medicinal and sedative
properties of the Hop in combination with
the most highly approved gums and balsams
known to modern pharmacy.
The Hop Plaster is made porous. thus
allowing the free evaporation of moisture,
stimulating the innumerable pores of the body
to a healthy action and giving tone and vigor
to the whole system. 1t is the discovery of a
Yankee chemist.
The medicinal virtues of the Hop have been
utilized for centuries; they are all concentra-
ted in the Hop Plaster, and do more real good
in relieving pain than any root, drug or herb
liquid medicine in the whole domain Of nature
Hop Pasteys are sold by all druggists in
the United States and Canada. (25 cents each

in the markets. Avoid cheap,w worthless goods

THE GUARDIAN


A great meeting was held In New
York recently to sympathize With
the Jews who have been 90 cruelty
prosecuted 10 Russia. There is a
society of Hebrews who are helping
the Russian and Polish Jews to
emigrate to this country. SO far
the Jews in the United States have
been 40 few in number as not to
have excited any national or race
antipathy. Their rivals in trade do
not like them Of course; but the
ruling classes in this country are
lawyers aud agriculturists, aud they
do not come in conflict with the
members Of the Jewish races. The
Hebrew ins,inctively avoids all pro.
ductive industries. There are those
who argue that 1t Is unwise to en-
courage Jewish emigration. They
do 10 on the ground that the He.
brews absorb the wealth of CON.
munity but add nothing to the gen.
eral welfare. They point to the
fact, apparent in all ages, that the
Jew when In sufficient numbers, al.
ways excite the keenest hostility in
the community where he lives.
1t is claimed that this is not due
merely to religious prejudice, but
to the ability of the descendants OF
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to out
lie and out cheat their Christian ri.
walls. But the Jewish race is a mar.
velous one. OF their ability there
can be no question. In finance,
craftsmanship, literature, philoso.
ply, the arts, especially music,
Jewish intellect and genius shines
pre- eminent. 1t is pity this
splendidly endowed race should
have moral short comings which
make him detestible in 80 many
communities. 1t will be Der.

Smallest Woman In the World.

Lucia Zarate, the smallest woman

then taken ont Of her box, and, ex
cept that she was wonderously

about like any other child. This is

The Queens Coachman.

The recent attempt upon the
handsome coupe Of Queen Victoria
by the tramp MacLean, brings the
robust Scotch gile, John Brown, to
the front again; although on this
occasion Brown evidenced q hurry
to get away from the scene of trou
BILE that shows suspicion of physi.
cal inertness growing from ap
preaching old age. In his Younger
days, the stauncb Scot could indi
vidually have lyuched MacLean.
The English John Brown is a man
whose name is more extensively
known in Great Britain aud on the
continent than that of old "Ossa.
watomie,' who parted this life at
the end of rope IN Harper's Ferry,
having failed to conquer the South,
a misguided and over sanguine AL
vance agent of the war. Queen
Victoria's John Brown is u well fed,
well.loosing, lusty Scotchman, who
serves As henchman to II. X. VI.
He rides behind her in her carriage,
sleeps on = mat or rug before her
door, and is her constant, consis.
tent, and continuous senesclal.-
Through long association in this pc.
sition, his name and the queens
have grown to be coupled together
by the street classes in London, and
it is no very unusual thing in the
streets of that city, when the royal
outfit passes, to hear the crowds
call out: "Here comes old Mother
