Oyster Livers.

The liver of the oyster-if he will
forgive reference to such delicate
matter-is his most important feature.
So say the learned men. The liver
mass is very dark in color and can be
easily seen with the naked eye. The
size and importance of this tissue, says
Professor Rice, is what makes the
oyster SO grateful to delicate stomachs.
a diet Of raws will euro dyspepsia, lie
says, and he lays it to the liver. ST.
milia similibus curantur. Speaking
of livers, it is curious fact that, al
though intended by nature to lead a
sedentary life, the oyster thrives upon
exercise. If he becomes attached to
the hull Of vessel or the shell Of
some movable animal, like lobster.
for instance, he will be bigger and
healthier oyster in consequence. But
he can do great deal of ''settin' still'
and yet not suffer from enlargement
of the liver. st. Louis Globe Demo

Tie American Naval Officer,

One Of the best compliments which
have heard Of as paid to the officers
of the squadron of evolution" was
from an Englishman, who had long
been resident Of Boston. He said
he was struck by the gentlemanly and
modest demeanor of these wearers OF
uniforms, which impressed him as diff
fering greatly from the consequential,
not TO say arrogant, air Of officers of
British men-of-war This peculiarly,
he said, extended to the sailors, who
were as courteous as the officers in af
fordling information. "Why, that
squadron, he said, will furnish bet
ter argument for republicanism than
any number of South American reyo-
lutions. 1t seems to me that tribute
of this sort from a foreigner is exceed.
ingly satisfactory and it opens up con
siderations Of the relation of manners
to official life which have wide ap-
plication. The Englishmen said lie

British navy insulted by beardless
midshipmen, and no was much i'm.

The transition from long, lingering

larks an epoch in the life of the indi-

that so much is beard in praise of Flee
