seem to be reversible. The manner of feed
ing is to grasp fish by the tail and proceed
to climb over it with its jaws.

ABOUT OYSTERS.

Oysters will quickly freeze in cold weather.
You cannot feed oysters by any artificial
| means.
What people call the eye of the oyster is
scientifically known as the abductor muscle.
George Washington was very fond of the
little red oyster crab, so numerous in south
ern oysters.
The eggs of the female oyster, one author
ity says number l2S,OOO,00O, but Professor
Rice said that 5O,0OO,0OO was as many as he
cared to estimate
In analyzing the contents of the stomach of
an oyster nothing but vegetable matter has
ever been found.
The food of an oyster consists of such Nero
scopic organisms and organic particles as
float freely in the water.
There are thirty oyster beds in Tangier
sound, whose united area is l7,91Gsquare nau-
| tical miles, with twice as much additional
bottom where oysters are occasionally caught.
A glass OF light Chablis hook or Sauterne,
Chambertn or white Bordeaux dry, Bur
gundy, Rhine, Hungarian or Moselle, chilled
colored glasses, are all first rate to drink with
the luscious oyster.-St. Louis Republic.
Oysters should be piled up or stacked in a
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.
Wherever the water is fresh enough to
grow oysters and wherever the marsh lands
also exist, the construction of ponds for oyster
culture is feasible on just as grand u scale as
is now practiced on some parts Of the coast of
France
To cool shell oysters nicely for immediate
use, or to serve parties at restaurant o. Ut
home, cut square hole about six inches)
from the bottom end stave of II flour barrel,
fill the barrel half full of oysters, place 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 with any
other cloth or wooden covering, and after u
little while every oyster taken out from the
bottom of the barrel will be as cold as you
want il

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES.

A good method for making a quicksilver
print without toning is TO wash thoroughly
after printing, soak in a solution of common
salt, and then fix in hyposulphite of sodium,
as usual.
Capt. de Abney states that, out of $4,000
people who take photographs, scarcely per
cent. know or care anything for the "why
and wherefore" or investigate it as an ap-
piled science.
From a recent paper on fash light photog-
raphy by Mr. f. w. Hart, of London, the
following points OF interest are given: "In
photographing by magnesium light, the prin-
cipal object should be to produce breadth of
lighting, so as to give as near as possible the
effect of the parallel rays of daylight"
A correspondent of The British Journal of
Photography, having found by twenty
minutes exposure in photographing the moon,
that the image Travelled nearly the length of
his plate during the exposure, suggests that
photography might be madD a means of
measuring the movement of the heavenly
bodies

gentleman living near A)legan,
Mich. relates an interesting story of
feline sagacity Some person owning
cat with three kittens, and desiring to
be rid Of them, took them in bag to "A
wood near the gcntIalnan's house, and
dropped them.
In Il short time the mother cat was
seen to approach the house with kitten
in her mouth. Reaching the door, she
dropped the Kitten and retreated to the
woods. from whence she soon returned
with another kitten but instead of leav
ing it where the first was left, she took
it to n neighboring house. then return
ing to the woods brought out the third
and last kitten. and left it at still an
other neighbours
The old cat then disappeared. and was
not seen again until it was time for the
kittens to he fed, when she visited each
house, nursed the kittens, and then dis
appeared again.
This course Of procedure she followed
until the kittens were weaned, when she
disappeared, and has not been seen since.
Was it reason or instinct that caused the
mother cat to distribute the kittens to
different homes, so that all might be
adopted and the lives Of all spared?-

large, and in the latter case are used as orna-
ments.
A new feather trimming is known as
