Money the Key to London.

The season has come to an end, and the he aristocracy of birth, as entertainers of 'tsociety," has made further progress. The rich give parties, and thus pay their way in to society, and those alreadySin it honor these parties with their presence. Some of the entertainers are domestic, others e1- otic
 The first step is to have a large house, the seconn to be ready to spend. lavish ly in it, the third to find some one to bid society people to the feasts. So that the first two conditions are fulfilled and that the s:some one' be we'll selected, the aspiring snob soon blooms into society parsonage and his or her house becomes recognized ren- dezvous of fashion.
 Our aristocracy is not difficult in these matters. They want to be fed, and to be given balls and parties, and whether the entertainer be an ex-convict or an ex-cook matters very little to them, pro- vided that the best of everything is provid- ed.
 At the first party of the social aspirant the ''some one in society" must provide half a dozen grandes danes and half a dozen soceity beauties as decoys.
 At the second party the "Prince'' must by
  possible, the ''Princess," and this is easily done by getting hold of some lady of his set. Afterward there is trouble; the house be- comes a recognized for society. If there be any difficulty in getting decoy ducks, pre- sents iudiciously given are useful: while the "some one in society," who is secure to them may always be obtained by paying the price of the article.
 If there are any hitches, house at Ascot, or near Goodwood, at Cowes, with a beau tiful lady or two to stay during the week is a very catching bait. If at Cowes, it would be we'll to hire also yacht.
 I mention all this because Paris is not what it was, and there are many wealthy Americans who find it nowadays more difficult than heretofore to obtain a good footing there, no matter what they spend; and i can assure them that they will not find any capital in Europe so likely to respond to their society aspirations as London, while their presence here will greatly bene- fit our tradesmen, and be positive boon to our pleasure-loving but close listed arist- ocracy.
 They will, perhaps, be little laughed at and snubbed at the commencement of their career, but they have only to perserve, to spend freely, and to put themselves into good hands, in order to become stars of the first magnitude in the social Armament. Indeed, if the thing be properly managed, they may before long snub others themselves and give themselves out exclusives.

 A recently published return giving details of the progress of British merchant shipping shows that the tonnage of merchant navy of the British empire, which amounted in 1920
 to 2,649 592 tons, had increased in 1885 to 9,314, ,496 tons. The mercantile navy next in importance to that of England is the Norwe- gian, which in 1884 had increased to ,5S3,- ASA tons, being, in 1880, 169, 197 tons. After Norway follows the United States, with 576, ,475 tons in 1880 and 1,3O4, ,221 tons in 1884.
 There has been an interesting inquiry by Professor Virchon as to the relative number of blondes and brunettes in the German em- pire. The statistics embrace as many as 6, 758, ,927 school children. Of these more than one-half belong to the mixed type, and of the remainder about two-thirds belong to the pure blonde and one-third to the pure and dark hair is the commonest form. Among the Jewish children there are three times as many brunettes as blondes.
 Rev. S. l.. Baldwin of East Boston, in a letter to the Boston Journal, states that the Methodist missionaries who were stationed at Chung King in the province of Sze Chuen, China, left there in July after riot in which their property was dest royed, and were safe at Shanghai, August 6. Rev. I D. Game we'll, the superintendent of the mission, wrote, just before the riot broke out: 'I think the official here means to protect us, but it may be that the condition of affairs in Ameri ca may prevent his doing full justice There is price to be paid for everything, and we may have to foot some of the bills that are being run up in our western terri tories.'

Oysters fOt Indigestion.

1t is not generally understood as it
should be that oysters have medicinal
qualities of a high order. They are
not only nutritious, but wholesome, es-
pecially in cases of indigestion. 1t is
said, "there is no other almentary sub.
stance, not even excepting bread, that
does not produce indigestion under GER
tain circumstances but oysters never.
Oyster juice promotes digestion, BY
taking oysters daily, ind gestion, sup.
posed to be almost incurabIe, mas been
cured, in fact they are to be regarded
as one of the most beautiful articles of
food known to man. 1nvalids who
have found all other kinds of food dis,
agree with them, frequently discover
in the oyster the required ailiment.-
Raw oysters are highly recommended
for hoarseness. Many Of the leading
vocalists use them regularly before
concerts and operas, but their strong
eat recommendation is the remarkable
wholesome influence exerted upon the
digestive organs.

Early Chickens.

The greatest profit in poultry keep,
Ing is from the early chickens. By
good feeding and management, some
of the hens may be brooding in Janu-
nary, and all the chicks may be saved
by the use of artificial breeders. In
cubators are used by experts with sue.
cess. but farmers and ordinary poultry
keepers are rarely successful with these
machines. Breeders. however, may be
used by any person, even a boy or girl.
who will simply see that the heat is not
excessive, and when the chicks open
their mouths, give them fresh air
Eighty degrees is quite enough warmth
for newly Matched chickens, which are
taken from the nest as they come out,
when they may be removed to warm
glazed coop, with the hen. We have
had young chicks thus nursed until
they were strong, which ran about in
the snow in February with great COM
tort and pleasure, and lot one was lost
out of lot of ninety, which were all
hatchcd in January. All that is re
quired is to have warm part of the
building or an attic-room for the set
ting hens, an glazed coops set in sunny
place out Of doors for the chicks when
they come from the brooder.
