Keeping the Oysters Month Shut.

Oysters cannot be kept without
thorough knowledge of their habits.
They feed twice in day of twenty four
hours-and then Just at that stiffness
preceding the turn Of the tide. At no
other time, except when feeding do
they open their mouths. When taken
out of the water they naturally attempt
to feed at regular intervals, and as soon
as their mouths are open the liquor is all
lost, the air takes its place, aud the
oyster IS covered with a thick coating
of slime. This is the first stage of de-
composition, after which the oy ter is
of no account. Just 50 long as its mouth
IS shut it is fit to eat, and a means by
which this can be accomplished has been
the study Of some enterprising men for
a considerable length of time. In 1884
Mr.. A. A. Freeman of Philadelphia
shipped to Denver, Col, some oysters
with their mouths fastened by means of
the patent wire spring Yankee clothes
pin. Upon their arrival in the latter
city the oysters were opened, and were
found to be in an excellent state of pres
ervatioa.
Mr.. Freeman Immediately set about
finding some device less cumbersome
than the Yankee c'othespia. He finally
hit upon practicable plan. When the
mouth Of the oyster is closed, it feeds
upon the liquor in the shell, and will
keep thus for considerable length of
time. Mr.. Fireman plan is to fasten
the oyster securely around the mouth
with a stout WIRE This is done by the
hand and pair Of pincers, and as it
can be done very rapidly, great quanti-
ties are wired every day. Mr. Free
man has established at Oxford, Talbot
county, the American Patent Lock
Oyster Company, with headquarters at
Oxtorl and office at Philadelphia. Al
ready he has Thippcd car loads to De-
troit, San Francisco, and other cities,
with satisfactory results, and some are
even on the way to London. lie is now
completing arrangements to send next
season shipments to laris, Rome, and
other cities, and if the attempt proves
successful, the American oyster will be
eaten in its natural condition and with
much gusto all over the worlI. = [BaIti-

Drawing oil again, he was about to
repeat the dose, and Roswell on his part
was just getting in blow, when the
supposed 'Indian" suddenly came
round on all fours and give vent to
growl which made the whole valley re-
echo.
1t was a grizzly and as he growled,
he rose on his hind legs and 'lunged
at Frank.
Prodigiously astonished, Frank gave
a long jump back ward-not 50 far, how
ever, but that one Of the ugly creatures
paws raked along his right side and sent
him rolling over and over again on the

Roswell, too, had executed an almost
equally long leap backward, and ran
plump into Miss Holden who with com

after her brothers, with the Winchester

into the bear, now in the very act OF

effect that the animal fell, roaring and
whining, unable to rise for another
lunge.

Ventilation Of Bedrooms.

DR.. Brown Scquarl, who has been
preaching that bad ventilation of sleep
ing rooms and poor and monotonous
food are the great causes of phthisis,
treated of that disease at the last meet
ing Of the Academy Of Sciences in Paris,
taking many of his examples from Eng
land. Wherever population is dense,
and sleeping rooms ill-aired or over
crowded, consumption prevails. DR..
Bailey reported that in the Millbank
Prison there were, out of one hundred
deaths, forty five from this disease.
According to the illustrious French
doctor room in which a consumptive
person sleeps is reeking with contagious
germs, if the air he exhales is not
carried off.
But how to get rid of it in ill-built
houses or very cold weather, when it is
as dangerous to open windows as to
keep them shut? To meet this difficulty
DR.. Brown Sequard showed the Acad-
emy an apparatus of his invention. A
reversed funnel, the shape of lamp
shade is placed at the end of tube, so
arranged in its curves and angles that
when it is placed beside bed the re-.
versed funnel will be above the sleeper
and draw up the air he breathes. The
other end runs into the chimney of .he
room. If there is none it Is TAX en-

CurIcss Esquimaux Games.

The Esqimaux have form Of the
cup and ball and make the game very
diliicnlt. One toy Of this kind in the
National Museum j. in the form of an
ivory bear that has on one side many
little holes and another hole on the end
of its nose. With it goes a slender
stick OF piece Of ivory. The game is to
keep tossing the bear and catching it on
the stick, taking each hole in success
sion and finally triumphautly catching
the bear by means Of the holes in the
end Of its nose. The professor calcu
lated that i would take ten years prac.
tice before the feat could be done.
There are other forms of this toy. One
of them is the skull Of small animal
ner grated with holes. Another similar
EsquimauS game requiring manual skill,
is played with eight little conical cups
made from the ankle bones Of deer.
They fit nice y, one over the other. The
game is to otoss one up after another,
catching them as they come down, let
ting the second fall into the first, the
third into the second, and so on, so
when the last Is caught they will be all
fitted together
~ think we might call this the game
Of goosey,'remarked the professor, as
he showed the reporter another Es-
quimaux game, The implements were
handful Of little ivory figures Of geese
Or other fowl, all f3t on the under side.
They are thOwn into the air and tai y
is kept of tie number that fall right
side up. Among the Esquimaux toys is
srudely a cavod and painted checker
b b)ard, witlcheckers. This idea they
got from vhito men. They have also
home mads dominoos, with most
wolderfulrray Of spots on them. One
o them ha forty spots on one half.
For the bcp, too, there are odd-looking
little nets, which are used as targets for

AYERS Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail.
ure' to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one Of Mr.. LELAND's fam
laborers bruised his leg Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rble itching of the skin, with burning and
Asrting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
diseharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was OF amy
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb TO use.
Mr.. LELAND has personally used
