Some years later the Neither lands Steam Navigation company inaugurated regular trips between Rotterdam and Co., logne in 1927 the Cologne company began to send boats from Cologne to Mayence, and ten years later the Dusseldorf company was established, with regular trips from Rotter- dam to Mannheim At present the Rhine is navigated by fleet of nearly 300 steamers and about 2,sOO sailing vessels and freight barges.
 A notable trial has just ended at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on the suit of Stakeholder & Co.,, bankers, against the American Ex- press Company to recover the value of sealed package said to contain $5, 900 in bills. The maker-up of the package swore to the contents. He also swore that after he had sealed it the package was not out of bis possession until after he delivered it to the express company. Every clerk and messen- ger through whose hands the package after wards passed swore that it had not been tam pered with. There was nothing to show that the package had been opened: Nevertheless when it's destination reached the con- tents were found to consist of newspa- per slips cut to the size of bank bills and as carefully tied up as bank bills could have been. In these circumstances, and after the judge had charged that the plaintiff was bound to establish his case by 8 preponderance of evidence to the satisfaction of the jurors, the jurors had no alternative but to find for the express company Nothing appeared to i'm pugn the integrity or good faith of any wit ness
 The census shows that in 1880 the fisheries of this country were worth in the value of products the very handsome sum of $45, ,000,- 900. This was the price, moreover, that was paid to the producers simply. At wholesale prices the pecuniary return for the same products reached the neat little fortune of $9O,O ,OOO. The products included dried cod and pollock, smoked herring, halibut and mullet, pickled and spiced fish, salt mackerel, canned salmon, Holsters, clans, oysters, crabs shrimps, cod, and sardines. The con- sumption of these is constantly increasing abroad, and very profitable sale for them has been built up in England, France, and Ger many. AS yet it appears, however, the pick led fish of American waters are but seldom sent abroad, although great quantities ot piokled fish are consumed in Europe. It is recorded that since the Berlin exhibition of 1880 American fish have become popular on the Continent, and agencies for their sale have been established in very many of the leading cities of Europe. Another fact of interest is that the boneless American codfsh has been adopted as standard article of food by many regiments of the German army.

In & previous article having briefly de- scribed the generation of the oyster, the writer will, in the present one, give an &C., count of the cultivation of this favorite mollusk as practiced in France, and notably at the imperial, or model pdrcs in the e Ar Ctsch0n.
 rhis bay was apparently intended by na- ture for an oyster farm, and it's rich firm, muddy bottom has GIecdys yielded them in vast quantities until about 1S40, when, to the regret and astonishment of the fisher men (who had meroilessly dredged them up at all seasons, and had killed the goose that laid the golden eggs), their mine was found to be exnausted fine, full favored oysters that had been heretofore bought for three or four sous the hundred now readily sold for three francs and upwards, and even with these prices the oystermen were starving.
 In 1859 Professor Coste, by order of the Emperor, passed the summer at Arcachon, and studied the then unknown subject of oyster cultivation, located the now flourish ing and successful p0rcs, and addressed a re- port to the Emperor urging the immediate replanting of these exhausted beds The following year his suggestions and plans were carried out under the immediate supervision of this naturalist with surprising and satis- factory results Here are nearly two thou sand acres of excellent bottom for growing oysters, unc0gere1 by the tide for an average of two hours at each low water, and with the mild winter climate of the southerly coast of France, this circumstance is of priceless val ue as it enables the laborers to work among, and even handle the oysters at will, and rem

The census of 1880 ought to be worth something. Heretofore the largest census reports have been contained in four quarto volumes while the reports now in hand will require over thirty quarto volumes of 800 pages each. This is chiefly due to the large amount of special work upon which the most competent specialists in the country have written exhaustively. The Congressional committee on printing have decided to cut down the work from 1s. GOO pages to 15, 900, and to print limited editions. But for even this work an appropriation of some $780, 900 is required.

WOmen's Dress.

The poets idea that love, which is of
mans life a thing apart, is woman S
whole existence, is more esentimentalthan
true. There is only one thing which, if
it may not truly be said to be her whole
existence, is yet never very far from her
attention, and that is dress. This is
neither a hard nor a cynical saying.
From her first conscious hour to her
last, a woman takes interest in her gar
ments and the garments of her friends
The study of dress is like every other
study. 1t must be taken seriously if it
is to be taken successfully. A woman who
wants to be originally, beautifully and
becomingly dressed must either give her
self into the hands of an artist who will
do her thinking for her, or she must
give nearly the whole of her own time
and attention to the business. A great
many do neither the one nor the other,
hence the rarity of really well-dressed
women. The ideal of most English
women is to find a modiste, who will
take all trouble off their hands, and will
dress them. This can be easily enough
done; but it is an expensive process, and
in that direction again English women
set themselves a limit. The price an
American fashionable woman will read
lily give for a cOnfection of distinguished
taste would strike horror into the
breast of an English matrOn. American
women are unquestionably the best
dressed nowadays. Why it should be
so is a question too profound to enter
on here. Much and subtle analysis
would have to be expended on that
problem. One explanation which
seems to lie on the surface may be that
while deciding with authority on ques,
tions of taste, and fully competent tC
| judge them, they bring TO the business
a certain originality of conception anC
national freshness of idea which per.
vades the result, making it not only

generally the pull over English wOmer
in money matters, and, as we said be
fore, they not only have the money t
spend, but like spending it on dress
But, besides that there is a discernmen
of the fitting, a happiness of choice
which they bring to rather than find il
the studios Of high art in dress.-Lon

Effects OF Hunger on Animals.

Psychologists are agreed, says 81.
James Gazette, that the worst form of
cruelty to animals is to starve them.
From an insufiicncy of food they suffer
longer, and, there is good ground for
supposing, far more intensely, than
from wounds or broken bones, One
proof of this is that the severest injuries
will not prevent them eating-as wit
ness the frequently adduced instances
of horses after being wounded in bat
tie. A truly abOminable piece of cru
city to animals by starvation came be-
fore the magistrates at the Ainsty petty
sessions the other day, in which, taking
the foregoing circumstance into cOnsid-
Grafton, a very insufficient punishment
was inflicted A farmer named Bean
was prosecuted by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and it
was proved that he left his farm on
Monday, the 10th of January, and re-
NAMED away until the 22d, while no one
was left on his farm to look after the
stock. On the Tuesday between the
above dates the sOcietys inspectors at
tention was called to the state of the
animals, and on visiting the farm he

neglect, protruding through the skin,

they could not get He found a num-
Der of fowls with their heads protrud-
ing from beneath the door of a stable,
and breaking open the door, he discov.
cred them to be in a very emaciated
condition. He also found a drake on
another part of the farm in similar
state, and dog in a ferocious condition
from hunger. Bean, it seems, had been
previously convicted for offenses of a
similar kind, and the magistrates in
flieted a fine of E5 and costs in each
case on him.

Diseases Of the schOOl-ROom.

Parents cannot too strongly insist that
the school-rOOm shall be surrounded by
all possible safeguards against the dan
gers which there so often threaten health
and life. We give the substance of an
article on this subject, by DR.. G. A. l..
Reed, in the Herald Of Health. Among
the diseases having their origin in the
schOol-roOm are the following:
AR9miG. This is due to a deficiency
of red cOrpuscles in the blood. The
symptoms are paleness of the skin, lips,
gums and tongue, and blush tint to the
white of the eyes; a feeble, quick and
easily accelerated pulse; caprcious ap-
petite and intense thirst; a sluggish mem
tai action, variable mperand easily de-
pressed spirits. The causes are defective
ventilation, and studies beyond the ca
pacitv of the pupil. Our class system
% affords healthful exercise TO some pu-
pills, while it imposes destructive tasks
on others
Consumption. This perhaps is not
actually produced, but a latent faint is
called into active exercise. 1t has two
forms. The one (tubercular meningitis)
affects the coverings of the brain, and is
particularly due-aside from defective
ventilation, etc to intense mental activ-
ity. The other attacks the lungs and is
specially due to impaired respiratory aC-
ton, the result of prolonged sittings.
C0Htagi0lts Diseases. These on being
introduced from, abroad soon become
epidemic. No pupil should be allowed
to mingle among the scholars from a
house infected with smallpox, scarlet,
fever, diphtheria, etc. Even children
affected with pulmonary consumption
should be separated from the school,
room.
Near-sjgbtsdaess. ss.-This is caused by
the constant adjustment of the eye tC
near and small objects, before it has be-
come mature and firm. The light should
be ample and rightly adjusted.
SDi4al Diseases The child should al
ways be able to rest his feet on the llool
and the middle of his back against the
back of his seat. YOUTHS Companion.
