lMr. Zones was writing a1etter: writ

who was sewing in the room, to help

.'Of course there isl answered Mrs

Jones, airily, and there was a spell of

'.Mercy, no. said Mrs. Jones, sharply
II should think you could spell a
little word like that, Jeptha-s-h-u- gar,

Then he folded his letter and set about
directing it.
''How many MS in Cincinnati"' he
asked. balancing apostage stamp on his

Foes Of the Oyster.

The '.ShelEFish'' Commissioners O.
Connecticut have just laid before the
Legislature of that State their annual
report 1t tells us that the ''star- fish,
iniiicts great loss upon oyster growers.
Thousands of bushels of oysters in
one patch have been destroyed in q
week by the star-tish." The report
says:
"A well-known firm recently lost
500, 900 worth of oysters in one bed
ate up by these marauders. Another
firm has in like manner in the last two
years lost 100000 worth in the same
neighborhood. ofCharles Island. These
creatures seem to mo in punches, and
when they reach bed they unfold and
proceed at once in every direction to
eat up the crop. The more intelligent
ovstermen claim that with proper
dredging these punches may be discov-
cred and the star-tish caught before
they spread out to feed. One of the
best-iniormed growers in the State
struck an immense bunch few days
ago while hunting for them on his
grounds, and in short time gathered
in seventy-five bushels OF stars. BY
careful hauling he pre- ented the rest
from spreading out, and so saved his
bed, which, he says, would have been
cleaned out in four weeks"
The Commissioners think that per-
sons owni- G these lands and planting
them with oysters. should be compelled
to keep them clear, as much rs possi-
BILE. from all noxious pests. Just how
this may be done it is not easy at pres
ent to show" But, curiously enough,
just at this juncture. new discovery
has been made. One species of the
harmless wild ducks that sportsmen on
the Sound make such war upon, are
found to destroy the star-fish. Says the
report:
1.-The commissioners are credibly in
formed that the coot (Fulica atra,)
which FREQUENT the waters of the Sound
in great numbers, feed upon the star
fish. AS many as twenty small stars
have been found in one CROP
If this fact is confirmed, the Commits
siOners saw law should be passed for
bidding the shooting of coots. These
ducks are ''fishy'' and almost worthless
for food

How to Treat Frosted Plants.

If any of your readers should at any
time be SO unfortunate as to have their
house plants frosted, the following care
will in most cases save them AS soon
as discovered, remove all plants that
show any signs of beng frozen to a cool
room where the temperature is just
above free >ing-if such a room can be
had. Dip each plant separately into a
pail of cold water, holding them there
about two minutes; those plants that
are too large to treat in this manner,
place in the sink and give copious
shower of cold water, which will usually
answer the same purpose. Keep the
plants in cool shaded place for tour or
five hours, till every particle of frost is
out. after which place them back in the
window where they belong. 1t is the
sudden exposure to heat and sun that
kills most plants after being frosted.
Should any of the le..ves or ends OF
branches wilt or curl up after few
days, trim them off and in short time
allsuch plants will seemingly take new
leae of life and bud and b ossom as be-

Rules for a Russian Club.

After much discussion, the committee
of a certain club in remote Russian

The code seems to be as Draconian as
it is original:
Q) No one shall enter the club with
dirty boots. (2) No one shall wear his
workaday clothes if they are impreg-
mated with unpleasant smells, such as q
scent of fish, leather, pit:h. etc. (3>
At the club dances black cloth is laid
down as the correct dress. AZ In bad
weather, when the streets are muddy,
all members of the club must wear slip

JAY G0ULDS YACHT.
Jay Gould is going to have a better yacht than
James Gordon Bennett, or die His vessel. though
not quite large as that OF the proprietor of the
edld is still nearly the size OF an ocean steamer
and would have ranked as a huge craft twenty
years ago. 1t will be fitted I'D in a style of mag

Russia, and every Invention available will be
thoroughly tested for use. AS in Mr.. Benefits
yacht, the cabins VIII all be situated forward,
with the crew and captain on the extreme stern,
where they viii seldom. or never be seen by the
owner and his guests. An odd feature of Mr.
Gould's yacht Is the fact that under
every stateroom floor is bath-tub OF
porcelain, which can be filled with fresh
or salt water either hot or cold at Will. Thus,
when man rises from his berth he has only TO
turn a cock and section OF the floor dfsappears
Leaving a beautiful bath tub so arranged that the
occupant may step right into 1t. The objection
common in all Sea-goinS vessels of lack OF VEN
tilation in the cabin is to be met by steam fans.
The upholstery will be tapestry OF embroid-rei
needle-wOrk, and the state rooms are to be fin
ished in distinct colors Besides there will be
gold, ruby and silver rooms. The yacht will
carry thirty men and coal for a trip OF eighteen
days duration. Probably the cost will exceed
$4,000. Mr.. Gould intends to start next July for
two years tour OF the world. He takes his wife
and George j., his only son, and a numerous
will leave him when he reaches the other side, as
he has too many ties Of close, warm and per-
