Artificial oyster culture is largely
practieed on the coast of Annoy, a bam-
boo oyster field being prepared far more
carefully than q Kentish hop garden.
Holes, Miss G. r. Gordon Cumming
tells us, are bored in old oyster shells,
and these are stuck into and on to pieces
of split bamboo about two feet in length,
which are then planted quite close to-
gether on mud fats between high and
low water mark, but subject to strong
tidal currents. This is supposed to
,bringthe ~oyster-spat, which adheres to
the old shells and shortly develops into
tiny oysters. Then the bamboos are
transpIanted and set sone inches apart,
until within six months Of the first
planting they are found to be covered
with weIlgroWn oysters, which are then
collected for the market. The oyster
shells are then turned to very good ac-
count, being scraped down until they
are as thin q average glass, when they
are neatly lifted together 50 al 10 form

Canine TnfeLEtaeuce,

Sir John Lubbock's dog that is learn
ing to read must look to his ~laurals; for a
dangerous rival has been discovered by
Monsieur Victor Meunier, who is writing
a book on the subject of the
capacity of animals for education.
Porthos, the rival in question, is a black
poodle, age 6 years, a Belgian by birth,
but an inhabitant of Paris, in which city
along with his wife and M. Porthos jeune,
age 6 weeks, he honors with his company
a worthy wine merchant. Like many
wise dogs, Porthos understands that
when a sou is given him he can exchange
it for a cake at the bakers. Having got
his cake, however, he does not eat it like
other dogs, but brings it home to his master
to divide it into three pieces for the ben
eft of himself and family. In fact, he
seems to do the whole of their catering;
for, if Master Porthos wants milk, the
father takes both the money and the
milk a and sets off to fetch it. He is,
for all this no teetotaller, but is ready to
deliver a bottle of Withholding the
neck in his mouth and his head high in
the air to a constant customer, and duly
to bring back its price. His most extra
ordinary accomplishment, however, is
that he can go down to the celler and
fetch a bottle of any kind of wine re-
quired. He distinguishes between white
wine, red wine with green seal, red wine
yellow seal, red wine in half bottles, and
several other kinds. Porthos, though
conscious of his talents, is said to be by
no means conceited or overbearing in his
demeanor in the presence Of interiors;

Il Fine Grapeufme.

vine growing in the open air at Month

known as ssDona Marcelina's grapevine

marvel of the neighborhood. traces its
origin to a slip brought by Dona Marco

It was nearly Withered from the effect of
the long journey, she determined to make
the trial to plant it. Notwithstanding
further delay, the slip took root, budded,

wrote Ill, and four he represented, not
by ~, which is a comparatively late
innovation, but by the good old clock
dial symbol, iii. These, in fact, are
nothing more than just the fingers of one
hand. But how about fvea Why
should it be represented by the APP
parently meaningless symbol w Simply
because " is not v, but a rude hero

while the narrow one stands for the ex-
tended thumb. v. in fact, is nothing
more than q very degenerate pictorial
symbol, Xix the ~ still used by print
ers in certain circumstances to call special

Whu Steam BofEers Era,lode,

A boiler explodes because it is not able
to withstand the pressure to which it is
at the time subjected. This condition
of weakness may be caused by any one of
a number of causes, as follows: 1. Bad
design, as when the boiler has not been
properly strengthened by stays and
braces; or a deficient water space pre-
vents the proper circulation of the water.
2. Bad Workmanship, the riveting or
other workmanship having been done
hastily, or by incompetent workmen. 8.
Bad material, blisters in the plate, etc.
Excessive pressure, caused by recklessness
of the engineer, or by defective steam
gauges or imperative safety valve. 8.
Oyerheating of the plates, caused by
carelessness of the engineer in allowing
the water supply to get low and then
pumping in upon the too greatly heated
plates. 9. Accumulation OF scale, mud,
or other deposit, which prevents the wa
ter gaining access to the iron. This
causes the cams to leak and the crown
sheet to bulge or come down, and when
this occurs the boiler is in a very danger
q condition, liable to explode at any
time. There Is really no mystery about
boiler explosions; they are always caused
by q or more Of the above causes. If
49,
all boilers were Of good design, Workman
sfip and material, and were managed by
% but sober, intelligent and expert
enced engineers, such o thing as a boiler
explosion would be almost unknown.-

how in thunder it got to be that shape?"
"Warren County, Tennessee" inquired
a passenger with a white SLOUGH hat;
ibid you say Warren County, TENNESSEE
I know all about that county. Years
ago there want no Warren County.
There was u little town called McMinn-
vile. In this town three or four men
from Ohio settled, bought land, started
stores, and became prominent citizens.
But McMinnville wasn't q county seat.
It lay in one corner of a county, and the
country around it was the corners and
ends of other counties. Under these cir
cumstances McMinnville didn't grow
very fast, and there was no politics there,
and men living in McMinnville stood no
show in county politics, anyway. These
Ohio men tried to rise in the political
world, but it was slow work. Finally
they got mad. and went to scheming.
Before anybody knew what they were
up to they had lobbied bill through the
Legislature creating a new county, War
rem by name, with McMinnville as the
county seat. When the surveyors come
to run the new county lint;s they found
that the law directed them to 60 west
twelve miles from Meanwhile, drive a
stake; go east twelve miles from McMinn-
vile and drive another stake; and north
twelve and south twelve two more stakes,
and then run a circular line connecting
those stakes. The result of course, was
a circle, and SO Warren County appeared
on the map as round as a dollar, and
with McMinnville right in the center.
Then the Ohio men were happy. They
started right in, run the politics of the
new county, filed most of the Offices,
and got rich on the rise in the value of
their real estate. "-CAicago Herald.
