About Oysters.

Opinions diEer as to whether rocky
bottoms are best for oyster beds.
Many experienced oystermen believe
that soft, sandy loan like the bed OF
the East river is the most fruitful
The eggs of the female oyster one
authority says, number 128, COO, Goo,
but Professor Rice says that so, eco, Geo
was as many as he cared to estimate.
In analyzing the contents OF the
stomach of an oyster nothing but veg
etable matter has ever been found.
The food Of an oyster consists OF
such microscopic organisms ana organ
ic particles as float freely in the water;
George Washington was very fond
of the little red oyster crab SO numer
Gus in southern oysters.
There are thirty oyster beds in Tan
gier sound, whose united area IS II, $40
square nautical miles, with twice as
much additional bottom where oysters
are occasionally caught.
Wherever the water Is fresh enough
to grow oysters and wherever the
marsh lands also exist, the construc
ton of ponds for oyster culture ls
feasible on Just as grand a scale as lG
now practiced on some parts OF the
coast of France.
What people call the eye OF the oy-
ster is scientifically known as the alb
ductor muscle.
Oysters will quickly freeze in cold
weather. ,
OYSTERS should be piled up or stacked
in heap, with the bottom shell or left
valve at the bottom, as the deep shell
holds the liquid on which the animal
lives. Good stock, if packed nicely
this way, will keep for long time.
You cannot feed oysters by any artl-
fetal means.
To cool shell oysters nicely for i'm
mediate use, or to serve parties at
restaurant or at home, cut a square
hole about six inches from the bot
tom end stave of -four barrel, fill the
barrel half full of oysters, place a
piece of old carpet or cloth over the
oysters, and set large lump Of ice on
the cloth. Then cover the top Of the
barrel securely viii, any other cloth
or wooden covering, and after little
while every oyster taken out from the
bottom of the barrel will be as cold as
you want it.
A glass of light Chablis hook or
Sauterne, Chambertin or white Bor-
deaux dry, Burgundy, Rhine, Hun
garian or Moselle, chilled colored
glasses, are all first rate to drink with
the luscious Oyster.-St. Louis Re

There is an amicable rivalry between
English and American engineers. The
skill which they exhibit is the same,
but its application differs in the two
countries. Where American engineers
have been compelled to build for the
day or the morrow, English engi-
neers have been able to build for
the next generation and the cen
trrv. But the c1tempOre skill Of the
American engineer has, in turn, mod
fled the massive conceptions Of his
English brethren, and English struc-
lures. such as the Forth bridge, are
largely influenced by American ideas
and experience. The cantiloyer prin
ciple is borrowed from the United
States, and is the product Of American
conditions Of work and American fer
tility of invention and audacity Of CON
struction. Thus the genius and skill
of each country supplements that OF
the other. The English borrow from
America and the Americans borrow
from the English, and both ere better
