4 good illustration Of the i~nterdepen.

fact that an important branch of Cha

seQuently a great decline in the demand

PPM tired OF hearing about our fine
naval officers" said Admiral Porter the
other day. "What good are u officers
if they have not got anything to work
with. A navy composed of officers and
water don't amount to much. We might
have the finest carpenters in the world.
but if they did not have any tools to
work with Of what earthly use would
they be? The government has got all
this surplus revenue and they had bet
ter build a navy. We go about Dragging
about the American eagle. Some day
some fellow III take us up, and we'll get
licked Then we'll wish we had two
navies, and everybody will be blaming
everybody else because there isn't one.0
A Danish steamer which arrived at
New York a month ago with a fire in
her hold had among her cargo $50 boxes
containing 100000 eggs. The water
pumped into TIE vessel to quench the
flames became heated and boiled the
eggs hard. 4 Spectator bought the lot
Sor $3.50, intending to retail them to ho-
teia ami restaurants. He soon found,
hoM ever, that the fumes of the Swedish
matches, to the spontaneous combustion
of which the fire was due, had ilGprag-
mated the eggs with the odor Of sulphur,
and nobody would buy them. To add TO
his misfortune, the health authorities
refuse to take the 10000 eggs off his
hai. DIS as offal, and he will have to ira as-
port them to a suitable place of deposit
at his own expense. What puzzles him
is how the sample eggs VIII CHI he ate be-

1t was O common saying among thirsty
oystermen on the north shore of Long
Island Sound, in the days when stack
companies had not begun to cultivate
large plantations under water, that t%=s
acres Of good oyster ''land" were worth
as much as AN ordinary New England

growing oysters, but if the business is
more profitable it is also more risky
than farming ON dry land. The oysters
most deadly enemy is the star-fish.
Near Bridgeport, CT, about 1000 acres
of submerged land are now und9r cult
walton, and the star-fsh is rapidly de-
sTroying the crop. In three weeks the
oysters on atrack of 100 acres have been
killed by the "fve-fingers," as they are
sometimes called, and an old oyster
merchant has recently taken up 100000
Of the fish in seven hours by dredging.
This attack upon the oysters by their
enemy is not without precedent along
the Connecticut shore, but it seems 10
be the most destructive one that has
been made in many years.
Mr.. Seth Green recently said to a rep
resentative of the Rochester Post Ex-
press: my gang of men have returned
from the Western lakes and | am more

them about four mi lions of the finest

they are now at the ..hatching house at

due time. The party who were at work
on the lakes consisted of one mar on
Lake Michigan, one on Lake Superior
and two on Lake Huron. Jonathan Ma

Michigan, and Emmett Marks was on
