Oyster Eaters.

Prince, poets, pontiffs, orators.
statesmcn, and wits have gluttonized
over the uystcr-bed. Oysters were at
one tima. It is true, in danger of being
forgotten. From the fourth century to
about tie fifteenth they were not much
in use; but from that date to the pres
cnt time the demand has never slack
ened. Going back to the times which
we now regard as classic, we are told
that we owe the original idea of pisci-
culture 10 a certain Sergius Orata. who
invented an oyster-pond in which to
breed oysters, not for his own table, but
for pro.t.
Vitelius ate oysters all day long, and
some people insinuate that he could
eat as many as thousand at one sit
ting-a happiness too great for belief.
CallistheEes, the philosopher of Olyn-
thus, was also a passionate oyster
eater, ard SO was Caligula, the Roman
tyrant. The wise Seneca dallied over
his few hundreds every week, and the
great Cicero fed his eloquence with the
dainty. The Latin poets sang the
praises of the oyster, and the fast men
of ancient Rome enjoyed the poetry
during their carouse, just as modern
fellows, not at all classic, enjoy song
over their oysters in the parlor of a
London or provincial tavern.
In all countries there are records of
the excessive fondness of great men for
oysters. Cervantes was an oyster
lover, and he satirized the oyster-deal-
7rs of Spain. Louis TX, careful lest
scholarship should become deficient in
France, feasted the learned doctors of
the Sorbonne once year on oysters;
and another Louis invested his cook
with an order of nobility as a reward
for his oyster-cookery. Napoleon, also,
was an oyster-lover; so was Rousseau,
and Marshal Turgot used to eat hun
dred or two just to whet his appetite
for breakfast. Invitations to dish Of
oysters were common in the literary
and artistic circles of Paris at the latter
end of the last century. The ency-
clopedists were particularly fond OF
oysters Helyetius, Diderot, and the
Abbe Raynal, Voltaire, and others
were confirmed oyster-men.
Among British celebrities, Alexander
Pope was an oyster-eater of taste, and
so was Dean Swift. Thompson, of
"The Seasons" who knew all good
things, knew how good thing an
oyster was The Caterer.

They Improve With Age.

Having occasion the other day to
search for some copies of daily news
papers of certain date in 1875. l was
not surprised to find that at the offices
of the newspapers could buy no cop
les. Not one of the great dailies could
furnish a copy of the date which |
needed, but | was referred in every
case to n man named Robert Budd. for
merly boot-black, who made busi-
ness of dealing in back numbers of
newspapers. / found him, and in half
an hour had the papers.
Budd's history, or rather that of his
business, is peculiar. He is coal
black negro, with an intelligent face
and remarkable faculty for estimating
the value of his wares. Although he
has regular price-list, his prices vary
according to what he thinks may be
the value of the paper to the would-be
buyer. Some months ago there was a
law case which required the present
ment in court either of certain newspa-
pers or of certified copy of an article
covering several pages in small type.
Budd was the only man in the city who
could furnish the paper; he asked 500
Tor 1t, although it was not ten years
old, and had originally cost him but =
cents, and the sum was paid, for the
certified copy would have cost still
more.
Five years ago Budd had boot
blacking stand on Broadway, near
ThirtieIh street, and at the same time
sold old newspapers. He was struck
with the number of demands made up
on him fcc copies of newspapers two or
three days. or a week. or even a month,
old. and he had the idea of adding to
his business that of old newspapers.
That there is a demand for old news
papers is simply shown by the business
he has built mp. At present he occu-
pies large cellar, the walls of which
are lined with newspapers tied up in
bundles, each bundle containing the
copies of one month of each year.
There is Il tag attached to each bundle
giving the month and year.
As ne still keeps up his newspaper
stand he of course gets his papers at
cost price, and when a person really
wants a paper there is a fine chance
Tor profit. Every day Budd puts away
twenty copies of The Herald, twenty
copies of Ihe .>un, ten of The HOrld.
Times, and Tribune each, and five cop
les of each OF the evening newspapers.
His schedule of prices is supposed to
be as follows: For papers three days
old, double the price; for papers
week old, 10 cents; for papers month
old, 20 cents; for papers a year old. 81;
Tor papers more than year old, S1.25
additional for every year. But, as
said before, this schedule is no guide
in case Budd discovers that the paper
is OF great Importance. Soon after he
began business he bought up complete
files of several newspapers, running
back in some cases to 1850. That he
finds the business profitable one may
be inferred from his ability to keep two
assistants at work.
The n@nber of persons who wish to
buy back copies of the newspapers is
larger than most people might suppose.
Ia course of al half an hour, during
which | searched through an old file,
five persons came into Budd's place
and bouC ut papers varying in age from
2 days - s years.-Aea0 HaUaM NetOS.

Rules for Good Health.

Sleep, like any other appetite, can be
cultivated and pampered; and just as
any mouthful of food more than we
really want is waste, and something
worse, so every wink of sleep more
than we need is dead loss. and that
without the redeeming quality of over
eating and drinking. viz. pleasure.
says Rev II. l.. Haweis. For 10 be
asleep is not pleasure; simply dead loss.
To sleep from IL to 8 in the morning is
too much; from II till should be, and
is, for one averagely healthy and nor
mally constituted. quite enough. The
point l want to fix on especially is
those two precious hours before break
fast. How many people only begin
their day after breakfast, say about 10
o'clock! l myself lived for nearly forty
years without realizing tnat | had
thrown away about 2l.900 hours of
good working life. Of course, the
candle cannot be burned at both ends.
You must get your sleep. Ihave known
more than one professional man TO
succumb to the habit of retiring too
late and rising too early. That was the
beginning of my poor friend the late
Baron Amphlett's collapse. As Q. c.
he never should have gone into parlia-
ment, and when he retired from the
house on a judgeship the mischief was
done. He used to be up late with
briefs. or down at the house till or ),
rise at 6, light his own fire and work
till 9. All such overpressure is, of
course, bad. Young men NAV stand it
for few years-young men can stand
almost anything for few years-but
it is vicious principle. Give the body
its dues, or the body will revenge it
self. Still, to acquire the habit of
early rising is worth an effort. Irecom-
mend it for health and pleasure as well
as for profit. No one knows how ra-
diant and vigorous nature looks who
has not cared to assist her at early toi-
let, and seen her bathing herself in
crystal dew and de king herself with
opening blossoms between and
o'clock on a midsummer morning. So
much and how much more for the
pleasure-seeker? But the early-rising
worker all the year round is rewarded
by an increase of produce, an economy
OF time, ana an invigoration of mind
and body. Morning literary work is
usually characterized by freshness.
continuity, grasp, and vigor; night
work by fever, excitement, and less
condensation. This | believe to be the
rule, and with exceptions, in speaking
thus generally, it is, of course, impossi-
BILE to deal. OF one thing am certain,
that for all headworkers, especially
literary men, the following rules will
be found golden:
To bed before r.
To work before z.
As little liquid as possible, and no
smoking before breakfast.

Three days after Elsie's poor loving
heart was crushed into lifelong sor.

duty done by accepting and giving in
yitations? What do we bind ourselves
to in accepting tie hospitality OF a

her done when we nave entered the
portal of our hostess and have given
her greeting? Do We owe anything TO
her guests? If we are a man, do we do
our duty when we neglect speaking to
the ladies whom we know? Ii we see

and agreeable for her. is not that our
duty to be ready and happy to do her
bidding or even 10 anticipate 1t? Ii we

4 novel incident which occurred to a
stenographer of New York court the
other day will raise new point of law
for the Judges to decide. The steno-
grapher had taken the official notes of
case tried in court, transcribed them,
and placed the transcript and the notes
in his overcoat pocket. That night he
went to the theatre, threw his overcoat
over the back of the seat, and the
notes and transcript fell on the floor
and were lost. There is, therefore. no
record OF the testimony of the witnesses
from which TO make up an appeal, un-
less the parties can agree to make it up
from memory The case is unprece-
dented, and the unfortunate steno-
grapher is in trouble lest he can be
mulcted in the cost of a new trial,
should one be deemed necessary.
