About Oysters.

Opinions differ 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, ono
authority says, number 5000, 0S0,
but Professor Rice says that so, 900, OC0
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 and 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, 376
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 Is
feasible on just as grand scale as is
now practiced on some parts OF the
coast of France.
What people call the eye of the cy-
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 arti-
fetal means.
To cool shell oysters nicely for inn
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 q flour 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 with any other cloth
or wooden covering, and after little
while every oyster taken out from the
bottom of the barrel VII 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-
public.

We All Dress Alike.

1 have q friend who lives in New
York who thinks he can tell man
who didn't live in New York from
"New Yorker" without ever making
mistake. held that he couldn't, and
proposed trial of his ability. We
were standing ON the corner of Broad
way and Fourteenth street at the time.
Two gentlemen stood on the opposite
corner. One was natily dressed in the
latest style, with clothes that fitted like
a postage stamp, and patent leather
shoes that shone like new buggy;
the other had on an out of date straw
hat, a paper collar and shoes size too
big for him. WELL" said l to my
friend, "are those New Workers stand
ing over on the opposite corner2"
"Why, the one in the silk hat is" said
my friend; nobody could mistake
that. Look at his style and general
bearing and the at home way in
which he looks about him. I'll wager
every cent I have that he is New
Yorker born and bred" land the
other fellow in the straw hat9" "Why,
he is some jay from Podunk, just
getting the country dust rubbed from
his eyes. Where did he get that hate
do you suppose, and look at the dazed
way in which he looks around him"
Just then the two separated. The man
with the silk hat sauntered down
Broadway and the supposed Jay came
to our corner. Nov, ask him." said
my friend. I stepped up to the man
and said: 81 beg your pardon, but
where is the gentleman from to whom
you were talking just nowa" why,
he's from Greencastle, Ind" "And if
it's not too impertinent, might I ask if
you are from there, tooa" mo-" said
the man, II live in Brooklyn"
My friend was the most surprised
man 1 ever saw. In these days Of
steam and telegraph, people who live
in cities of any respectable size have
the same fashions, and pretty much
the same manners, as those who live in
the largest cities.-Springfeld Repub-

She Looked Distinguished.

The newsboy naturally develops a
quickness at reading faces as well as a
freedom in asking and answering
questions. One of this class was ped
ding his wares ON a railway train, and
in passing back and forth was struck
with the appearance of woman. She
looked distinguished, and as he dump,
ed his paper covered novels into the
laps of the other passengers, he passed
her by.
At last his curiosity got the better
of all other considerations. He found
among his books one by Mrs. Stowe,
and on his next trip he proffered it to
the very dignified lady, but she de-
clined it.
Excuse me-" said the boy, but
amt you Mrs. Stoves"
The stranger shook her head, and
disclaimed the compliment. The boy
went down the aisle, but on his return
he stopped again.
"Then perhaps you're Mrs Stanton2'
The woman smiled, and again SHOOK
her head. But the newsboy was moi
to be baffled.

New England Weather.

In its bulletin for the week ending June g.,
the New England branch of the United States

about the weather The average tempers-
ture was about norma, the departure from

ture during the early part of the week was
low over the whole district. 1t increased
gradually as the week advanced and was high
on Wednesday The greatest daily range
occurred on Friday, but the mean for the day
was ABOUT normal. There was slight frost,
causing no damage on Friday morning, in
that part of the Connecticut Valley included
ia southern Vermont and northwestern Mass

The mean precipitation was above the
normal. throughout the district, and was
well distributed. There was a slight def
cheney along the southern central coast of

southern New Ham pshire, Vermont and
Eastern Massachusetts,; on the I'd, 3d. 4th

daily showers in Central and North IN

dense fog prevailed until the 9Th. The
heavy rainfall in Connecticut caused the

A Blaine Victory

There l. something truly absurd in the
nttcmpt. Of Democratic and MugWump
organs to claim Mr. Blainc's first brilliant
diplomatic victory The Press ha4 re
pcucdv said that nothing short of the
restoration of King Malietoa to the throne
aud the recognition Of the autonomy Of
the Sanoan Government should be de
mandcd.
It was for this that Mr.. ScWall, our
Consul, commended, aud vet he was not
supported hy Mr. Bayard. ON the con
tlarv, the Young Democrat from Maine,
whose American instincts rose above
party and administration was shame
fully treated by the Secretary Of State

against German aggression. The settle

ScwAll ~ well ~ for Mr.. Blaine. Far
FROM being the result Of the Rayard
policy, 1t may more aptly be called the
result of the reversal Of the Bayard
policy T. Press.
The MugNumps and their allies show a
keen dislike to admitting the obvious fact
that the Harrison Administration is more
successful in conducting our foreign

There is reason in everything, but no,

There is plainly reaction in public sem

necessary work on the Sabbath. A few
years ago business began to follow pleasure
in eucroachments upon the day of rest, and
a vast amount of work has been done on
Sunday that has been called necessary, only
because habit had seemed to make il such
Within the last few months there has been
a manifest change in pubic feeling on this
s1tject The absolute Importance, from a
physicalif not religious, standpoint, of taking
one rest day in seven, is forcing itself upon
the public mind. Men are beginning TO see
that they can do better work themselves, and
can get better service from their employees
when they give the mind and body the regu-
lar relaxation of one days rest. The grow
in. tendency to rob the Sabbath of all its
reverential and sacred character has also
startled the public conscience, and made m en-
cry out for halt, As long as unnecessary
business and traffic are carried on upon the
Sabbath, the same as other days. it is hard
to restrain the desecrating tendencies of
amusement seekers. State Register.
