the knife had never been private prop
erty, but was bought by the college
from dealer who furnished the students
with ''sub iects.;' The difficulty in pro-
curing delicately nurtured animals had
caused DR.. Fetters, whose attention was
called to Dante by his broken leg two
years before, to urge Glynne's father
in the cause of science to sacrifice the
dog.
A very heated argument was the result
of which / was dimly conscious at the
time 1t had been his great care for his
daughters tender heart, and a fear lest
she should, in her uncomprehending
girlhood, misjudge him as cruel. should
she learn of his duties as bivisector in the
medical school, that Professor Morley
had used every innocent artifce to keep
the knowledge of his work from GIynne,
and now the blow had fallen in its most
shocking form. 1t is always darkest be-
fore the dawning; and so it proved to
the watchers about Glynne. Her piteous
cries for "Dante" were now answered by
the faithful dog himself, who would
spring from the rug at her side and
touch with his soft, caressing tongue her
hot, little restless hand, as it dropped
from the bed.
Finally came the crisis, and she grew
quiet in stupor The house was hushed-
4 great chair drawn to the bedside and
the dog called to spring into it, to raise
him to level with his mistress. ''Watch
her, Dante" was all they said, and with
drew beyond the curtains Of the dressing
room Accustomed to be left IN charge of
children who sometimes visited the house,
the dog, suppOsing he was left alone, sat
a short time with head erect looking at
the sleeping girl, and then, to our relief,
as we watched him furtively through
the hangings, laid his head softly on the
coverlet and dozed off comfortably.
So Glynne found him, when she at
length aroused. We did not venture in,
for this awakening meant health, or,
worse than death, insanity. She stirred
a little, but the dog slept on. A move
ment of her hand touched him. She
turned her eyes weakly toward the
beautiful slender head, touched one of
the silky ears wonderingly, and then,
as the ha?f-aroused greyhound responded
with his pink-tongued ''kisses," slow
tears gathered in the big, gray eyes.
''Such dreadful dream" she whis-
pered, and fell asleep once more.
''Saved,' | heard Glynn's father say,
with husky voice, in the hall to DR.. Fet-
te1s "And now some one must be
found to take my place. Glynne must
never know that it was not a dream. l

SEA-FOAM.

Upon the sand by zephyrs famed,
The ocean sleeps at noon,
The star-fish slumbers on the strand;
The grass upon the dune.
While near and nearer to the land
Revolves the dark simeon.
A bark is sailing to and fro
Upon the summer sea,
In golden glow the ripples flow
Or flash in sparkles free;
And slowly sinks the shore below
The turquoise tinted sea.
The surges thunder on the sand
Beneath the cloud-veiled moon;
The night winds Groom unto the strand
A dirge in doleful tune;
While swiftly to the farof land
Has sped the dread simeon.
A wreck is floating black and slow
Upon the sombre sea,
A corpse upon the undertow
Is tossed about the lee,
Then all is gone-as all shall go
Into eternity.

A Frightful Railroad Disaster.

1.-THE train ran over man today"
We heard the sad conductor say,
And every ear was turned to hear
His horrible tale of blood and fear,
And the maiden dropped a tender sigh and a
sympathetic tear.
s'Where where could this sad accident be?''
Fright here on this very bridge said he.
Then many a frame with terror shook,
There was many a horror-stricken look,
And the new reporter then took out his re-
portorial book.
"Was the man run over here" he cried,
The conductor nodded and deeply sighed.
Tell US all, and he waved his pencil slim,
The conductor answered, sad and grim,
He was under this bridge a-digging CLAIMS and
the train ran over him.

Floating Festive Oysters.

Connecticut oysters, when brought
from their beds, in the salt waters of
Long Island Sound, are seldom sent to
market before they have been subject to
more or less manipulation. AS soon as
possible after being gathered they are
deposited in shallow tide rivers, where
the water is more or less brackish, and
are left there from one to four days-the
time varying according to the tempera-
ture of the season, the sadness Of the
oysters and the freshen;ng quality of the
water Generally two tides are sufficient
for the two ''gOod drinks" which oyster
men say they should always have. This
''hoating," as it is called, results in
cleansing out and freshening the oysters
and increasing their bulk, Or, as some
oystermen confidently assert, fattening
them If the weather is warm they will
take a drink Immediately if not disturbed,
but if the weather is cold they will wait
sometimes ten or twelve hours before
opening their valves.
Good fat oysters generally yield five
quarts of solid meat to the bushel, but
after floating two tides or more they will
yield six quarts to the bushel After
they have been properly floated they are
taken from the shell, and as soon as the
liquor is strained off they are washed in
cold water. and are then packed for mar
ket. In warm weather they are put into
the water with ice, and are also packed
with ice for shipping. Water increases
their bulk with absorption, and by mix
ing with the liquor on the surface of the
oysters The more salty the oys-
ter the more water it absorbs. In
twelve hours one gallon of oysters. with
their Juices strained out, will take in a
pint of water but when very salt and
dry they have been known to absorb a
pint in three hours.
Water always thickens the natural
Juices that adhere to the surface of the
oysters and makes them Shiny. If too
much water is added the oyster losses its
plumpness and firmness and becomes
watery and fabby. Oysters that have
been tioated bear transportation in the
shell much better than when shipped
directly from their beds. Oysters, too,
that are taken from their shells and
packed IN all their native juices spoil
much sooner than when their juices are
strained out and the meats washed in
fresh, cold water.
Long clans are not fioated, but round
CLANS are. But both when shucked are
washed in fresh water. This cleanses
them of mud, sand and excess of salt,
increases their bulk and improves their
flavor. After washing they will keep
much longer without risk of spelling. If
the salt is left in them as they come from
their native beds their liquor will fer
ment and they will quickly spoil.
