There is one thing concerning oysters
worth remembering; that is, that those
taken from deep water will spoil sooner
than those taken from shoals. and the
shoal oysters will withstand more vari-
alton Of temperature. The amount Of
nitrogen in the oyster is augmented in
an inverse proportion to the distance
from the water; hence the shoal oys-
ters IS peculiarly adapted to long jour
neys and divers atmosphere.

. The winter rush to Florida has al
ready commenced in earnest, and the
indications are that the season will be
the most successful ever known. One
train from Savannah, Ca, last week
carried over 250 first-class passengers
for Florida. The hotels are rapidly
filling up. Millions of dollars have
been expended in hotels in Florida,
and it probably has more fine hotels
for the number of towns than any State

The summoning to Rome of the Rev.

The summoning to Rome of the Rev.
DR.. McGlynn for supporting Henry
Georges agitation against private own
ership in land will cause much COM
ment within and without the Roman
Catholic Church. Opinion is likely to
be much divided Catholics will of
course beinclined tOsupport the Church
authorities in whatever they do; but a
good many Protestants will find them
selves in a most unhappy position.
They are alarmed at the spread ofsuch
views as Henry George breaches; but
they also stand ready always to take
offence at anything like Roman Catho-
lie Church interference in our politics.
Possibly the end of it all will be a
broadening of their views in both direc-
tiOns.

Diagnosing a Dead Fly.

Guest" How comes this dead fly in
my sOup?" Waiter-"In fact, sir,
have no positive idea how the POOR
thing came by its death. Perhaps it
had not taken any food for a long time
and dashed upon the soup, ate too
much of it, contracted an Inflammation
of tho stomach that brought on death.
The fly must have had a weak consti-
tuition, for when l served up the soup
it was dancing merrily on the surface.
Perhaps-and the idea presented itself
only at this mOment-it endeavored to
swallow too large a piece of vegetable; !;
this remaining fast in its throat caused
a choking in the windpipe. These are
the only reasons I can give for the
death Of that insect !"-Boston Courier.

The Three Glasses of Fingers.

Hands are divided into three classes:
Pointed fingered, or spiritual; square fin
gered, or intellectual, and fiat or shovel
shaped fingered, or material. The first
class is characteristic of the people of
southern Europe, but more especially of
Orientals. The second is the hand of in
tellect, of practical gifts, of the power to
accomplish success in life. In this the
thumb ball is frequently large. The third
class is the hand of work-hard, manual
toll, with little besides the ideas of work,
food, and rest to animate its owner. The
joints are knobby and evince a slowness of
both thought and motion.-Inter Ocean
