A doctor and lawyer of Ellsworth,

knowledge of water craft, and they de-
cided to try their skill with a handsome
birch canoe. "Be careful how you board

Grand Bank dory!" The doctor entered
first, very carefully keeping his balance
and taking a safe position i'm the bottom
of the canoe. The lawyer boarded the
little craft as if it had been scow for
the transportation of r0ckweed or cord
wood. The canoe rocked fearfully and
the lawyer, to save himself, reached out
to grasp ledge ON the shore. The per-
verse craft shot out in the opposite di-
rection from under its inmates, capsizing
them both into the water and giving
them as thorough dueking 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."

Why They Are About Twice IS Dear Il.

They Are in Paris.
In recent interesting article upon
oyster culture, the marquis Of Lornc
very cogentlv asked why oysters cost IS
shillings or s shil lings d. dozen in london
while they can be purchased for about
half the price In Paris? The explana-
lion, as Lord Lofne pointed out, Is that
our English oyster bnds produce only a
fraction of the consumption. nj
though our own shores, properly pre-
pared, could produce oysters In enor-
nous quantities. Hitherto British en-
terprise has not been directed toward
this remuneratiye industry says ST..
James Budget, but has left It in the
hands of q few fishermen and ancient
corporations on the Essex and Kentish
coasts, who lack both capital and scien-
titic knowledge. How profitable oyster
breeding may become when well man
aged may be imagined from the fact that
the only outlay consists In preparing a
stretch OF suitable foreshore with tiles,
bricks, shells, etc, to provide resting
oyster. 1t is estimated that one
million young, SO ii only a very small

ing the value of the product of one tile
at the lowest figure the result would be

on the other in semblance Of an open
wall, 100000 tiles per acre is not an ex-
aggerated number. 1t would thus seem
that with capital and enterprise the ma
tional production OF oysters would
largely increase, while the price would

the leaves were growing yellow. Sallie

Turkey coming. He s1ouched into the

Hanniness.

Happiness is the great aim of all
mankind and for which all are forever
striving; and yet how few there are
who know when they have obtained il !!
The healthy, care-free boy longs for
the time when he will be grown man,
and pictures in his youthful mind the
happiness he will enjoy when he is for
ever free from parental control. When
the years have rolled past, and he
finds himself what he has SO ardently
wished for, he pauses, and, upon TAX
ing retrospective view, he as ardently
longs for the joys, the happiness and,
alas too often for the innocence of
childhood. Oil how many of us old,
care-worn, sin-scarred and tough
hearted specimens of the genus homo"
would give all we have toiled, sehemed
and sinned for, since We arrived at
mans estate, to be again innocent
children, and allowed the inestimable
pleasure of a good, all-night glorious
sleep, such as we used to enjoy when
we we're boys. Oh, for the days long
gone, in recollection so vivid, in which
we watched the gap all day long, sit
ting in the corner of the old wooden
fence under the shade of the old elder
bush, while we manufactured wonders
of whistles from green paw paw bark,
and cut our fingers with the new Bar
low knife which papa bought for us on
the Saturday before.
We can shut our eyes now and see
the old barn, the pump at the road
side, with the horse trough near by;
the wagon shed, granary and corn-crib
combined; the half-fnished wheat rick
and, beyond all these, the dwelling
with its log walls neatly painted and
whitewashed-the very personifcation
of that cleanliness which is next to
goodness. And last but not least, the
old ash hopper, under which we used
to play "house" with our little sister,
before we got big enough to go to
school and "mind the gap" And the
closing OF our eyes seems to have
opened our ears, for we can hear the
cackling of the hens, who seem to be
holding a convention over some newly
laid eggs in the barn, and the steady
"thud-thud. of the loom at the house
gives early promise of some new cop
peras-coIored pants. Now we hear the
chuck" "chuck" Of the wagon coming,
for the fourth time, well laden from
the wheat field, and, as it nears the
gap, there breaks forth from the house
that which to boys is the sweetest Of
all music-"the dinner horn.
Could we have but realized how
happy we were then, we surely would
have been contented; but such realiza
ton could not be, and the only differ
ence which time has wrought in our
thoughts on the subject is, that then
We looked forward to find happiness,
whereas now we look backward, and
our happiest moments now are spent
in retrospective contemplation of the
happiness which we enjoyed at q time
when we did not realize it.
How ii softens the heart to recall
those old days, and while i know that,
in this world, happiness always seems
to be either ahead OF behind us, / do
hope that in the world to come we may
be allowed the happiness of again 1iy-
ing over our boyhood days, and fully
realizing their pleasures at the time.
