The growth Of the city made
many improvements necessary and
the municipal government has not
been slow to recognize this, and the
result has been that the city has
made tremendous strides in the line
of improvements within the past
four years. A breakwater was
built at a cost Of $40, 600. A fine
iron swinging bridge has been built
over the river on Grand Avenue at
a cost of ST., 600 The plans and
specifications for magnificent, new
High School building which will cost

future. A system of street lighting
has been put into use anew. These
improvements have all been made
not only without issuing dollar Of
bonds, but during that time the in
terest on the city debt has been
paid punctually and $25, 600 Of the
principal has been paid During
this time so pregnant with growth
for Kenosha, several very elegant

The population has increased within
that period from 5000 to nearly

ANr1poDEAN OYSTERS.
An Inviting Description of Their Virtues
and Attractions.

The chosen paradise of the oyster-eater
is the North Island of New Zealand, for
there the oysters are not only delicious but
ridiculously cheap. Along the sea shore,
| in the lonely sheltered friths and inlets
| about Auckland, every rock consists of a
mass of oysters clustered together in a
wonderful manner, but easily detached and
opened when you know how. The best
oyster-opening machine is Maori girl
with brad-awl. The Auckland rock oys-
tiers have long, deep, ragged shells, but the
oysters themselves are very small, plump
and beautifully shaped, very sweet and not
at all coppery or watery. They are equally
good raw, stewed, fried, frittered or in
pie or timbale. If you want to get them
in perfection, however, you should sail
down to the island of Waiheke, in the
Firth of Thames, fifteen miles from Auck-
land, a veritaple fairyland Have your
fairy on hand with her brad-awl, pick out
a rock Just awash at high tide, sit under a
tree fern or in the shade of the sail of your
boat; swallow the oysters alive as they
come from the nymph's def hands in their
pearly cup-like shell give each Just one
bite, to bring out all the flavor as it goes
down, and offer up peans of praise to the
Giver of all good things. Waiheke oysters
are the most ethereal of all food. From
time lmmemorial the Maoris have come
from all the neighboring parts, and even
from long distances, every summer TO feast
on oysters in particular bay at Waiheke.
In the middle of New Zealand there are
the famous Queen Charlotte Sound oysters,
round and fat, and very firm in flesh, with
just that sub-havor of copper which some
connoisseurs set such a value on. In the
far south, at Stewards Island-Proyidenc

superb oysters of quite different kind are
obtained in vast quantities, just when
Auckland rocks are out of season. Stew
arts Island oysters are large, round, fat
symmetrical oysters. which look simply
splendid on the half-shell and have a grand
flavor and plenty of it, which makes them
invaluable for cookery. A timbaie or
soufie of Stewart Island oysters is some
thing to make your hair curl. But moth
ing can shake my devotion to the Auck-
land oysters. 1t is founded on rock
am quite safe in saying that the biggest
edible oysters in the world are found at
Port Lincoln. in South Australia. They
are as large as dinner-plate and the same
shape. | have seen them more than a
foot across the shell, and the oyster fits his
shell so well he does not leave much mar
gin. 1t is new sensation, when a friend
asks you to lunch at the Adelaide, to have
one oyster set before you, fried in butter or
egg and tread-crumbs.-Oace Week.

Female Tenaoltr of Life.

1t appears from the gathered statistics
of the world that women have a greater
tenacity Of life than men. Nature wor-
ships the female in all its varieties.
Among insects the male perishes at a
relative earlier period. In plants the
seminate blossoms die earliest and are pro-
duced on the weaker limbs. Female
quadrupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, despite the
intellectual and physical strength of the
man, the woman endures the longest, and
will bear pain to which the strong man
succumbs. Zymotic diseases are more fatal
to males, and more male children die than
females.
Deyerga asserts that the proportion dy-
ing suddenly is about 100 women to $50
men; 1850 men in the United States in
1890 committed suicide, to 2S5 women.
Intemperance, apoplexy, govt, hydroeepha-
lus, affections of the heart and liver,
seroflla, and paralysis are far more fatal
to males than females. Pulmonary con-
sumption, on the other hand, is more
deadly to the latter. Females in cities
are more prone to consumption than in
the country. All old countries not dis
tHfDeu DY Immigration nave great ma
iority of females in the population. In
royal families the statistics show more
daughters than sons. The Hebrew woman
is exceptionally long-lived; the colored
man is exceptionally short-lived. The
married state is favorable to prolongation
of life among women. DR.. Hugh proclaims
that there are from to per cent. more
males horn than females in the living
population. From which statistics we
conclude that all women ought to marry,
and that as men are likely to become so
scarce, they cannot be sufficiently priced
BY the other sex.

One of the most interesting specimens on
exhibition at the Smithsonian $780," in
Washington, is monkey-faced owl, born
and bred in the district jail. Truly he is
genuine Jail bird. He first saw the light
of night in the caves of the big old build
ing, but was arrested for disturbing the
quiet of the establishment, and now ekes
out a miserable existence in a cage. His
face is almost an exact counterpart of
monkey, so much so, in fact, that were the
rest of his body covered itwould be difficult
to distinguish the difference. The bird
has cage all to himself, and is the only
one of the kind on exhibition. He sits all
day quiet and unblinking; but at night, so
the reporter was informed, he had high
old time, and makes the building resound
with his piercing shrieks.

COLOGNE DRuNKARDs.
How Some Women Get an Idea of
"whisky and Water"
rL,r,,r, tho Iosto, Clnha

"Did you notice that woman who just
went out?" asked clerk in Washington
street drug store of reporter yesterday.
"Yes,' was the reply, "and very pretty
woman she was, too"
ooh, as for that" said the clerk, "she's
pretty enough, but did you notice what she
bought?D
"Not particularly" was the reply, "but
| thought it was cologne or perfume of
some kind"
$50 it was" said the clerk, "but she does
not buy the cologne for pertaining pur-
poses, although she buys much more of it
than any other half-dozen persons who
trade at this store"
"What then does she do with it if she
does not use it for pertaining purposes%
ventured the reporter.
"To get drunk on" was the laconic an
swer.
ITO get drunk onw
"Yes, that's what l said You have
never heard of cologne drunkards, then?
Well, that woman is cologne drunkard,
and one of the worst of them, too. She
buys from one to two dozen of those long,
slim bottles of cologne every week, and
she takes it entirely herself"
"How does she take it?"
GAS ruleson humps of sugar; at least I
suppose she does, for that is the usual Gus
tom of cologne takers. They saturate
number of Jumps of sugar with the fluid
and carry them about with them. When
las is the case with whisky drunkard)
they feel as if they needed a drink, they
will take one or two Jumps of sugar and,
letting it dissolve in the mouth, they will
get sort of an imitation of perfumed
whisky and sugar and water You know,
of course, that the base of cologne is alco-
hol, and for most people alcohol is alto
gether too strong to be taken raw, and this
is one of the reasons why the sugar is used.
"Another reason, suppose, is because
it is easier to carry about, and can be
taken without detection when on the
sugar. Some of the cologne users, and
there are a great many, can drink their
liquid raw, and those who have arrived at
that stage can drink pure alcohol or
