Euskin on Oourtshin,

Mr.. Ruskin lays down the following
ideal law of courtship, which has per-
haps even less chance of getting itself
practically realized than his canon that
a girl should tell all her love affairs to
her father:
When a youth is fully in love with .
Girl, and feels that he is wise in loving
her, he should at once tell her 50 plain
", and take his chance bravely with
other suitors. No lover should have the
insolence to think of being accepted at
once, nor should any girl have the cruel
tv to refuse at once, without severe
reasons. II she simply doesn't like him.
she may send him away for seven years
or su--he vowing to live on cresses'and
wear sackcloth meanwhile. or the like
penance; il she likes him little, or
thinks she might come to like him IN
time, she may let him stay near her.

quiring, figurstively, as many lion-skins
or giants heads as she thinks herself

OF true courtship is probation, and II

at least; seven is to my mind the
orthodox time. And these relations be-
tween the young people should be open

For years the waters OF Poquon0t
River, Conn, have been noted as pro-
tlncing the most delicious oysters known
in the world. The demand was far 10
excess OF the supply. On account OF
the thick, black mud that plastered the
he'd Of the river, and which il fatal to
Oyster-culture, only small margin OF
the bottom, a rocky strip far in shore,
could be utilized by the oyster-gl overs.
Ii was not until three or four years ago
that speculative inventive Yankee de.
yised q plan for extending the oyster
scfs stivation upon the mud bottoms. He
went into his woods and cut down a
forest Of tough, wiry white birches, drag.
gcd them to the bank, bore them to his
boat npon the river, and dumped them
soyerboard. taking care that they should
be left at proper intervals on the bot
tosn. He had nm idea that the oyster
spawn would come sailing along ID the
seas0n, catch hold Of the birch boughs,
I astsf grow into = fabulous fortune for him.
"a isiea WAS good one. but not per-
SsS1ett. He allowed the birch to lie I
suitable time and then pulled them up.
Every bouah and twig was thick with
ialf-gruwn hivalyes, but the weight Of
!, the growing shells had dragged the brush
down tato tie fatal mud, and the oysters
had perished by the million.
Enlightened by his failure he made
anothcr trial. He planted the birches
upright on The bottom. setting them al
an angle with the current The sub
merged trees were from fifteen to twen-
~ feet in length, and the butts, which
were three or four inches in diameter,
were thrust three or four feet into the
mud. Their tops just pricked through
the waves at low tide. Itwas just wha,
the oysters wanted, a readv-made home.
They drifted as thick as snow-nakes to
the bending boughs and plant twigs.
Singly they were 80 small as to be almost
invisible, but their legions spcckled the
trees with brownish patches. The trees
bowed under their load Of growing
shells, but the elastic wood kept the
fruit clear of the mud. At the end oi
a few months it was seen that the ovs-
ter orchards promised an astonishing
harvest. All the oystermen along the
river were anxious to try their hand al
the new style of oyster farming Under
the law Of the State the mud bottom or
each side of the 100-foot channel wa.
staked and set off in plants TO q dozer
or more applicants to be planted with
oyster trees. Soon both sides of Po
quonoc River, from its head for a lone
way toward the sea, was bristling witt
sunken birches. waving an ebbing ane
flowing welcome to the drifting spat. =
