The Holding OF Oyster Lots The
recent DECISION OF the Court of Appeals in the
case Of Hess vs. Muir and others Judge Ritchie
delivering the opinion disposes ofmany mpor-
the rights of owners o. land bounding on the
nlyigabe waters OF the State, and of those
also, who have been licensed to locate oyster
lots. The complaint claimed, as such land
ewner, the exclusive right of bedding oysters
and of all uses in the soil covered bY water in
front Of his Land short Of interfering with nav
igation. The Court of Appeals decides that
MS such riparian proprietor he has no rights
over such soil accept accretions when actually
formed, and the right to improvement actually
constructed and connected with the land. The
complaint purchased some thirty-fou oyste
lots in front of his land, which he bou sht o.
their alleged owner at the same time he bought
the land Of him. These lots were procured
originally by having them located by othe
persons and then assigned to him. The cour
holds that as the law restricts the same person

the purcharer took any title to the lot so pro

Good Advice for this Season

ing the hot weather great care should be taken
to have the body In good condition. Peo-
pie OF certain habits are far more liable to be
overcome by the heat than others who are
reasonably temperate. The greatest sin, per-
haps, is committed in drinking, though mis-
takes are made in eating Lamb or mutton
is the most digestible meat for summer. All
fats create heat. Fresh vegetables, properly
cooked, and good fruit not too ripe are whole
some. However dissgreeable it may be. the
body is safest from an attack of sunstroke
when it is wet with Precipitation. 1t does no
harm to drink plenty Of water If not too cold

Becaying Fruit.-lt is grief to go
through eur great fruit markets, says the
American Agricuturist, to see the enormous
waste and think of tbs disappointed shippers.
All over the country, people who send fruit
to the city markets expect the top prices
They often get bill of expenses Why The
fruit was picked carelessly, bruised IN the
handling aud packing, and worse than all,
great quantities picked too ripe. Thousands
of crates and baskets of peaches and pears,
tens OF thousands of crates OF tomatoes, thou
sands of barrels OF apples, and melons are
thrown away every year The lesson to be
drawn from this state of things ia, not ship
fully ripe fruit, to pack with great care,
handling every article separately, even though
they may be apparently hard Time thus ex-
pended is money saved Do not unjustly
blame the commission merchant for what is
your own fault. 1t matters not, if year after
year you have shipped in the same manner
and received good returns, In some condi-
tons of he market, anything that is fruit
will sell we'll In times of abundance, the
case is quite otherwise. The prime article
sells at a fairly good price, while inferior
goods bare pay expenses, and sometimes even
net loss.

thorough and rigid examination, in which

teacher and pupils and showed conclusively
that all had faithfully aud well performed their
duties, lemonade, cake and candy were

4 Chinese Millionaire.

Hu Hsuel! yen. the great Chinese
banker and millionaire Of Hangchow,
is dead. In some respects. says the
Shanghai INclcS he was one of the most
remarkable men in his country. His
father WAS 4 merchant, and he himself
began life from = pretty low rung on
the ladder, having been originally 4
simple clerk or 'purser, as the Chinese
sometimes say, in q commercial hong.
But by dint OF his extraordinary talents
for business he rose rapidly in wealth
and fame, and fo- some years past has
been recognized rs the leading mer-
chant of China-thc representative of
China's financial and commercial inter-
csts. To borrow q phrase made familiar
to us by Mr.. Edward Jenkins, Hu Tao
tai was, in no far-fetched sense, q true
Paladin Of finance. and when he died
had already been honorcd by the en-
pcror with button of the first grade
(tou pin t1ng-taD, 4 yellow riding
Jacket, and the rank of provincial judge.
His beautiful palace at Hangchow was
one of the show places of China. The
Chinese say that his career was scarcely
like one Of real life-it was q ''spring
dream" Advancement from so low q
degree to the high honors and unbound
ed wealth which he afterward attained
is phenomenon less common in China
than in Europe and America. There
have been many miners and gulch Ia
borcrs in the United States who have
risen to be bonanza kings. Mr.. Gilead
P. Beck does not stand alone in the an
mails of the fur west. But in China such
freaks of fortune are rare, and Hu Tao
tai may fairly claim 4 place as sue
cessful merchant beside Tzu Kung, the
disciple of Confucius, who, when en-
gagged in business, always made a
profit. In this, however, the sage was
more fortunate than the millionaire,
though he never amassed much wealth,
for the losses sustained by Hu in his
celebrated silk speculation were simply
fabulous, and there were probably few
merchants in the whole of China who
ever owned as much as was then sacri-
feed. Iu died at midnight a few days
ago at Hangchow, age something over
50 wears. He was not particularly
cultured man, but his influence was
great, and he was renowned for the ex-
tensivcness and libcrality of his chari-
ties. The liz Puo, in its obituary notice,
SAYS: He has saluted the world; and,
now that he has gone, having died in
Impoverished circumstances, who is
there who viii not look back upon his
career and accord him 4 sigh of regret?"
