listened to an address by John F. Madden,
of this city. In itsreport of his speech, the
Ind'7imes says Although but a young
man, with the privilege this coming cam

gave q very comprehensive view OF the
standing of the democratic and republican
parties at the present time, comparing the
head representatives of the democratic par
ty to the representatives Of the people, and
the leading republicans as the representa-
tives of the monopolists and railroad mag
mates. He gave very comprehensive
view of the tariff from 1861, when the e.
cessive demands of the war caused tax Of
10 per cent to be levied on the people OF
the United States. while in 1857 1t was
raised to nearly 40 per cent, and since that
under q republican form of government TO
Al per cent. In speaking of the tariff he
said that the democrats, by the Mills bill.
propose to give the citizens of this country
their lumber free, while the republicans
propose to give them free whisky; the
democrats propose giving the people wool
free, while the republicans still propose
to give whisky free, and 30 on. Hisspeech

OYSTER Culture in Europe,

Oyster lovers in Europe have had
many consultations of late years, the
consolation OF low prices always ex.
cepted. Ten or dozen years ago oys.
ters were growing scarce; but thanks to
timely legislation in England and to
the efforts which have been made by
other countries. they are now more
plentiful than they have ever been in
modern times. In France oyster-cul-
ture has enormously increased. Some
statistics which have just been pub.
lished show that, whereas the French
beds in 1876 produced only about
GO, 10000 OF oysters, during the last
twelve months they have produced
600, 100000 The exports OF oysters
from France have increased proper.
tionately. In 1883 she sent abroad
81, 100000 but this year the expor.
tations are expected to reach so, OOO,.
600. 1t is reassurlng to learn that
the quality OF the French bivalve has
not been deteriorated by this great
increase in production. but that it
has noticeably improved. Ten years
ago only welI-to.do Frenchmen could
afford to eat oysters, now they have
become the almost daily fare OF the
working classes. In England prices
do not come down SO rapidly.

The Ethics Oft.

A shoe clerk in St. Louis store
thusphilosophizes about feminine Gus
toners: "If woman asks for q
certain number of shoe the experienc.
ed clerk will not 60 away and get the
size. He will take off her shoe and
have u look ut her foot, from which
he can tell at q glance just what will
fit her. Get one that will make her
loot feel comfortable and that will
look nice, and she purchases at once.
II you take her word for the number
the chances are that you will be de.
ceived. for woman has an unaccount-
able objection to telling her exact
number, even it ii is in the threes.
A green clerk soon learns this little
popularity after he has shown every
thing in the store to several who will
not buy. Another rule with women
is not to show them too much. Let
them see several nice things and their
choice is easy, if they are suited, but
show them your whole stock and
they will want to see more. find
that ladies are not so given to cramp.
ing their feet as formerly, so as to
make them seem smaller. Young
misses still do that, but women OF
the world are not SO willing to ill.,
lure their feet. The introduction OF
English styles has done this, for En-
glish ladies always wear comfortable
shoes, regardless OF tight fit"

Advice to a Writer.

From McMillans Magazine.
AS to the form in which your work
should be cast. have often thought
that the great duke OF Wellington's
advice to a nervous friend on parli.
amentary speaking was no bad advice
to young critic: "say what you have
to say, don't quote Latin, and sit
down." DO not waste your time in
hunting for new words, or balancing
your sentences, but say what you
must, or may say, in the best English
you have. and the simplest. "There
are people" says Lander, "who think
they write and speak finely merely be.
cause they have forgotten the lam
cuage IN which their fathers and
mothers used to talk to them" DO
not be one OF these people; if for no
other reason, for this; there are so
many OF them about, that you will
really be nearest to attaining that
undiscovered originality by keeping
aloof from Them"

Encouraging to Bachelors.

social science attribute the decrease

called 'hi.h society," to the imposi-

Ben Franklin's Money.

From the Electrical World.
In 1890 will end the term OF 100
years during which the cities of Boston
and Philadelphia have each enjoyed
the revenue from bequest OF $1,000
made by Benjamin Franklin. The
money was to be loaned out to young
married artiiicers, and the trust has
been executed, although the lapse OF
the century requires Il new disposition
OF the funds. 1t is significant that,
while in Boston the $1,000 has grown
to nearly S32S,OOO, in Philadelphia
$4,000 has become only $40, 900, and
that i'll both cases the amount is less
than Franklin estimated it should be.
But, as the natural philosophers of
Franklin's day generally fell short OF
the sage in ingenuity. so, too. the
successive boards OF trustees have
been lar from equal to him in business
ability. 1t is interestin.t to note, how.
ever, that the two funds still exist,
and that part OF the Boston reserve
goes in the purchase OF a public re-.
creation ground to be known as
Franklin Park.

Value of Eggs.

Eggs are q meal in themselves.
Every element necessary to the support
OF man is contained within the limits
ofan egg shell, in the best proportions
and in the most palatable form. Plain
boiled. they are wholesome. The
masters OF French cookery, however,
affirm that it is easy to dress them in
more than 500 different ways. each
method not only economical, but sal.
utary in the highest degree. No hon.
est appetite ever yet rejected an egg in
some guise. 1t is nutriment in the
most portable form and in the most
concentrated shape. Whole nations
OF mankind rarely touch any other
animal food. Kings eat them plain
as readily as do the humble trades.
men. After the victory of Muhllorf,
when the Kaiser Ludwig sat ut q meal
he determined on piece of luxury
1.-TWO eggs to every man, and two to

which performs variety OF func-
tions i'll the economy. And they
are the best OF nutriment for
children, for. in u compact
form. they contain everything that is
necessary for the growth OF the youth
full frame. Eggs are. however, not on
ly tood-they are medicine, also. The

dies for burns, and the oil extractable

slams as an almost miraculous salve
for cuts, bruises and scratches. A
raw egg, If swallowed in time, will ef-
fectually detach fish bone fastened
i'll the throat. and the white OF two
eggs will render the deadly corrosive
sublimate as harmless as q dose Gallo

tive, invigorate the feeble, and render

in the shape of that "egg.tiip"

An English Lady In China.

You will remember that I could not
be prevailed upon to taste the three
aelicacies Of cnt. dog, and rat pro-
vided at the Chinese dinner, and served
up in dainty bowls. Well. when
Henry returned home that night he
said to MAX: Nov understand, your
missee must eat cat, dog, and rat;
you 60 catchee them, and ever morn
ing-time you give one piece to eat that
breakfast-time."
Two days passed, and Henry, think
ing the servant had forgotten all
about his order, sat down to break
last; and ! am glad to say that the
bitter was bitten, for he, as well as our
friend, partook OF a dish of mince,
which was served up with u wall Of
potatoes. This was according to
Henry's wish, us he thought the pc.
tatoes, served English fashion, would
be q good disguise. Having tasted
and not liking the flavor, Henry said,
sotto voce, to the waiting boy:
"What fashion chow.chow this
thing?"
The answer was; belongs one
piece dog"
ate my portion without comment,
thinking it Calls head minced, though
the idea did occur to me that it was
rather "high."
The following morning another
mince was served up, OF which Henry
did not partake, though l did not no.
tice this. He declares that l helped
myself twice. This mince, also, was
disguised by a wal! OF potatoes.
On the third morning another of
these choice dishes, ornamented again
with potatoes. was handed around,
and our friend, who had been let into
the secret, helped himself literally,
and declared the dish good.
l remained in ignorance OF what
had eaten until the middle of the
third day, when the gentlemen burst
into a fit of laughter, and told me of
the hoax that had been practiced up.
