n ! recent Interesting article upon
oyster culture. the fnnrQuis OF LOFt0
tery ccaentIy asked why oysters cost =
shillings Or 5 shillings . dozen u L0neQn
while they ! BE- purchased Ior eoous
half the price Id Paris? The explsns-
ton, as Lord L0rne pointed out. y !nas
our English oyster beds produce only =
fraction Of the consumption, u.
though our own shores, properly pre-
pared, could produce oysters in enor-
nous quantities. Hitherto British en-
terprise has not been directed toward
this rcmunerative industry says -,
James budget, but has left 1t In the
hands Of q few fishermen and ancient
corporations on the Essex and Kentish
coasts; who lack both capital and scion
tific knowledge. How profitable oyster
breeding may become wien well man
aged may be imagined frd m tae fact that
the only outlay consists in preparing 8
stretch of suitable foreshore with tiles,
bricks, shells, etc, to provide q resting
place for the spat or baby
oyster. 1t is estimated that one
oyster produces from one to three
million young. SO II only a very small
proportion be secured the labor expended
Is most bountifully repaid. The average
wholesale price Of native oysters this
year has been IL shillings per 100. TAX
ing the value Of the product Of one tile
1T the lowest figure the result would be
8 shillings, and, tho tiles being laid one
on the other in semblance Of al open
wall. 3OO. 600 tiles per acre Is not an ex-
a%ggerated number. 1t would thus seem
that with capital and enterprise the ma
tional production OF oysters would
largely increase, while the price would
naturally fall.

A doctor and 4 lawyer Of Ellsworth,
Me-, started on q fishing trip the other
day. Both prided themselves on their
knowledge of water craft, and thew de-
cided to try their skill with q handsome
birch canoe. s.Be careful how you board
the trail craft" said the cautious doc
tor. 20, you needn't caution ME" said
the confident lawyer; 81 guess I know
all about . canoe. It is as safe as q
Grand Bank dory!" The doctor entered
first, very carefully keeping his balance
and taking a safe position in the bottom
OF the canoe The lawyer boarded the
little craft as II II had been o scow for
the transportation Of rockweed or cord
wood. The canoe rocked fearfullv and
the lawyer, to save himself, reached out
to grasp a ledge on the shore. The per-
verse craft shot out in the opposite d.
rcction from under its inmates, capsizine
them both into the water and giving
them Us thorough a ducking as ever men
got. 1t relieves ones mind to be told by
the Ellsworth american that ..they were
both Baptists and SO made the best
OF It,"

years ago, wheh she m Gc1tcAly i'd
years of age, she len her h0nke m the
hope Of entering the salvation army.
She had lost her mother and wanted 10
60 into the work OF the army. and 10,
rather than enter the army 1t her hUtne,
which her father opposed, she went to
Oakland. That Wa why she went to
Oakland and began her work as 3 Lieu
tenant.
She did not have . pleasant time In
the army, and she tells q story OF pc
cnliar treatment that has placed her In i
very unhappy position. She Is . very
slight little lady, with a pathetic spirit
less way about her that threw a peculiar
shade Of sadness over the story she told.
II thought that the story might 60 IN
straight" she explained. in a funny lit
he a%pologetic way. This Ia how It oc-
Cured: ] was sent down TO Pomona,
ard while ! was there I met Fred Koc-
mig. and Ahc wanted to marry me. /
didn't want to get married, and | told
him so, but when I came up here / began
10 write 10 him. After awhile | got tired
OF writing to him and stopped. In tho
meantime ! met a young captain In San
Francisco, and we began to correspond.
Suddenly l stopped getting his letters,
and he stopped getting mine, and we
each thought that the other had thrown
of, but VIC hadn't.
Z" found that all II letters had been
sent 10 Brig. Gen. Fielding, and as he
had never approved Of IL We had never
received Il letters. You sec. Gen.
Fielding thought that a captain was too
high for me, and, as everything OF that
kind Is In his hands, he decided to break
II on.
"About the time they found out that
Koenig wanted to marry me, and, as the
army owed him 5000 or $500, they
thought that II would be a good scheme
to get him back into the work. You
see, when any one joins the army they
have to sell all they have and give the
proceeds to the army, II 10 kocnlg mar
ricd me the army would not have to pay
him what they owed and the army would
get a good bit besides. So they got down
and prayed with me and they got me to
say yes. He said he would kill himself
II | did not, and so we were married in
Pomona"
