while the Democrats only increased 8, 600,
the voting strength more than doubling.
The white voters in 1880 IN Tennessee
were $50, ,055, and the colored e0,25e.
But Tennessee gave some attention to the
ballot-box, and voters "had some show
for their white allcy."

will keep down cockleburs, and are the

strip of its lower leaves. Wild mustard
seems to be a special favorite with sheep,
and they thrive on it.

George Jennings, the Bismarck grocer,
whose store is on the corner of Main and
Fifth streets, is building up splendid
reputation for fair dealing among the
people of the Missouri Slope. And one
reason therefor is that he keeps fresh

are reasonable. The wellknown firm of
McCrory & Co., butchers and general
meat dealers, are in the same building,

this he the case, they can do no better
than to Cali on the firm of Webb Bros

their prices are as reasonable as can be
found at any furniture house in North

Ventilation of Bedrooms,

DR.. wn-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 tho 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-fiv from this disease.
According to the illustrious French
doctor room in which consumptive
person sleeps is reeking with contagious
germs, if the air he exhales i, 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 shut7 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 breathcs. The
other end runs into the chimney of the
room. II there is none it il taken
through heating apparatus to an air
hole. The heat is great enough to burn
tho disease germ.

Keeping the Oysters Mouth Shut.

Oysters cannot be kept without
thorough knowledge of their habits.
They feed twice in a 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, and the
oyster is covered with a thick coating
of slime. This is the first stage of de-
composition, after which the oyster is
of no account. Just so long a, its mouth
is shut it is fit to cat, and a means by
which this can be accomplished has been
the study OF somc cntcrprising men for
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
crvation. o
Mr.. Freeman Immediately set about
finding some device less cumbersome
than the Yankee clothcspin. He finally
hit upon practicable plan. When tho
mouth of the oyster is closed, it feeds
upon the liquor in the shell, and will
keep thus for considerable length of
time. Mr.. Freeman plan is to fastcn
the oyster securely around the mouth
with 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
Oxford and office at Philadelphia. AL
ready he has shipped car loads to De-
troit, San Francisco, and other cities,
with satisfactory results, and some arc
even on the way to London. He is now
completing arrangements to send next
season shipments to Paris, Rome, and
other cities, and if tho attempt proves
successful, the American oyster will be
eaten in its natural condition and with
much gusto all over the world. ---[Balti-

mendable foresight, had come quietly

in her hands.
"Here, quick, shoot~ she exclaimed,
thrusting the loaded piece into his
hands. Turning on the instant, Ros-

into the bear, now in the very act of
lunging again at Frank, and with such
effect that the animal fell, roaring and
whining, unable to rise for another
lunge. ... --..
A few moro shots finished it.
Frank, though considerably bruised
and shaken up, was not seriously in
jured.
'Ellen," exclaimed Roswell, turning
to his sister, when tho bear had been
fairly fioored and Frank had picked
himself up 'Ellen, you're brick! You

Distilling Gold.

1t has long been known that gold is
to some extent volatil, at high temper
atures; but it is evidently far moro
volatile than has hitherto been believed.
Mr.. Crooks mentioned incidentally at
the last meeting of the Chemical So
ciety that he had found gold to boil
violently when heated III the oxyhydro-
gen flame, and, in fact to be so volatile
that there would seem to be no doubt
that it might be distilled in an apparatus
similar to that employed by Stas in dis
tilling silver r.-[Athenaum.
