One Oyster for Two,

We laugh at the innocent young
housewife who ordered "half a dozen
halibut'' for dinner. Had she lived in
the South Pacific Islands she might
have been equally laughed at for Or
dering half dozen oysters-not to
say a pint. The author Of "Oysters,
and All About Them" gives some ex-
amples that nearly match the giant
CLAIMS and abalones of the California
coast.
Pliny mentions that, according to
the historians OF Alexander's expedi-
dition, oysters afoot in diameter were
found in the Indian Seas, and Sir
James E. Tennent was unexpectedly
enabled to corroborate the correctness
OF this statement, for at Kottier, near
IrlncOmalee, enormous specimens of
edible oysters were brought to the
rest house. One measured more than
eleven inches in length by hall as many
in width.
But this extraordinary measure
nent is beaten by the oysters of Port
Lincoln in South Australia, which are
the largest edible ones in the world.
They are as large as q dinner-plate,
and Of much the same shape. They
are sometimes more than a foot
across the shell, and the oyster fits
his habitation so we'll that he does
not leave much margin.
1t is a new sensation when a friend
asks you to lunch, at Adelaide, to have
one oyster fried in butter, or in eggs
and bread crumbs, set before you, but
it is a very pleasant experience; for
the flavor and delicacy of the Port
Lincoln mammoth are proverbial,
even in that land of luxuries.

Makes the
Weak Strong

The way in which Hoods Sarsaparilla builds up
people in run down or weakened state OF health,
conclusivey proves the claim that this medicine
makes the weak strong" 1t does not act like a
stlmuant, imparting fictitious strength from
which there must follow reaction OF greater

way Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired
feeling creates an appetite. purifes the blood,
and in short, gives great bodily, nerve mental

Methods of Using Bi-Sulphide Car
bon.
Prof. A. H. Church, in a. recent
number of the Kew Bulletin, records
that he found that X pounds of the
bi-sulphide is enough to each ton Of
grain. He advises that it be applied
in the following way: A ball of tow is
tied to a stick of such a length that
it can reach the middle of a. vessel
containing the grain. The tow re-
ceives the charge of bi-sulphide, like a
sponge, and is then at once plunged in
to the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening OF the vessel then being
tightly closed. When necessary, the
stick may be withdrawn and the
charge(of one ounce to 100 pounds of
grain) may be renewed. The action of
carbon bi-sulphide lasts in ordinary
cases six weeks, after which period a
fresh charge is required. The BIZ
sulphide does no harm to the grain as
regards it's color, smell, or cooking
properties and the terminating power
OF most seeds is not appreciably
affected, provided that too large a
quantity is not used, nor it's action
continued for too long a period.
The assistant director of agriculture
at Burmah, is reported to have used
naphthalin instead Of bi-sulphide in
the following way; but insect life does
not expect anything like as good
results from the napthalin as from
the bi-sulplde: A hollow bamboo
cylinder 1 4 inches in diameter, with a
stick fitted into the cavity, is pushed
down to the bottom of the bin; the
stick is then withdrawn and few tea
spoonfuls of napthalin powder is
poured into the bamboo, which is
then drawn out leaving the napthalin
at the bottom of the bin. If the bins
are very large this should be done
once to every 10 feet square and the
application should be repeated every
Is or 20 days.
Constitutional Defects.
No calf ought to be reared from a
COW OF weak constitution or from one
suspected OF organic disease. I am as
Stunning that no one need be told that
the same rule applies to bull. It
seems, however, necessary to insist
more on the COW; because it frequent
ly happens that milking powers OF a
high order exist in animals from which
it is not wise to breed. Any COW liable
to garget, swelling in the throat, or
other tuberculols symptoms is unfit
to procreate her species. Scientists
are not agreed whether or not the
bacillus OF tuberculosis can actually
be handed down from parent to child
by the process Of heredity. But it is
at least q matter of common agree
ment that a sound body does not so
easily receive as it's guest any floating
germ as does an unsound body No
hospital for consumptive patients
among our domestic animals should
ever be established. Whether tuber-
culosis be hereditary or not, an ami
NAL which is subject to it should never
be allowed to furnish in the bodies of
it's offspring willing hosts ready to re-
ceive and foster it.-Colman's Rural
World.

The senate of the United States has
passed bill for the free coinage of sill
yer. The money question is one that it
understood but little, and one that is
more easily solved by trial than in any
other manner, but the first teachings of
common sense seem to rule against the
provisions of this measure. To compel
the government to buy. all the silver
bullion thatsis brought to its minis and
pay for it in silver coin of equal value,
means apparently that silver is to take
precedence of gold. The price of silver
is fixed at 81 20 an ounce. The market
value at present, as Senator Sherman
says, is only $1.05, so that in allowing
free coinage and in attempting to main
tain silver on a parity with gold, the
government offers a bounty of "a cents
to the mine owners for every ounce Of
silver bullion. If the government
could by an enactment or by Offering
to buy all the silver presented to it,
keep the market price Of that article at
fixed value on a parity with gold,
then all might be we'll, but the day for
such mandates as 'slet there be light
has passed, and the country has already
had sufficient experience with the fiat
business to know that it isn't success.
Silver is constantly depreciating in val
ue, and free coinage measure, such as
was passed by the senate, will simply
have the effect of demonetizing the
more-valuable coin; for, as Senator
Sherman stated in his speech, .swhat
sane man would pay any debt in gold
when he could take to the mint silver
bullion, costing less in the markets Of
the world, and receive for it treasury
notes which were legal tender for all
debts?'' Such legislation seems heal
thy for no one but the owners Of silver
mines. who by the way are the chief
hackers of the bill, and the inflated con.
dition Of the money market. that seems
sure to follow. is not at all q thing to
be desired. Every year, as the method
Of transacting business changes, the
need for money grows relatively less.
There is no stringency at present that
is the result Of too light coinage, and
the silver law that we now have on our
statute books is sufficient for present
demands. The necessity Of 4 free coin
age act, flooding the country with sill
yer and allowing the owners Of bullion
q large bounty on their product, is not
apparent and it is to be hoped that the:
lower house and the president will put
an end to the rash acts Of the silver
men and inflationists by stamping their
'yetoupon this bill.

The governors message was delivered
to the legislature on Wednesday. It is
concise, sensible, business document
and deals with numerous state questions
in q thoughtful and painstaking manner
that commends it TO the earnest and
and sober consideration of every mem
Der Of our law-making body. Through.
out there is repeated advice to the rep
resentatives to be careful, and good
business suggestions are made that they
will do well to heed. In the midst of
all the queer legislation that is being
suggested and proposed, the governors
message is a good deal like firm ground
surrounded BY quicksand.
In the senate last week, John j. In
gals, the eloquent gentleman from
Kansas, made speech in favor Of the
free coinage Of silver. As an oratorical
effort it was unusually fine. abounding
in fowery passages and pungent thrusts
at the millioniares; bit in argument,
that brings conviction with it, it was
lacking. Like some Of Ingersoll' S bril-
liant gems, it merely played upon the
surface, and sought not to disturb th
depths. T was not the effort Of q states
man, carefully endeavoring to right
wrongs and insure prosperity, but the
speech Of q politician, using honeyed
words, we'll set together, to catch tho
votes that might elect him senator.

| Donnelly was knocked out for the
first time in the senate last Wednesday,
while trying to prevent the publication,
as part of the records, of a protest from
the minority against the combines ac-
tion in depriving the president of the
power to appoint committees. John
Day Smith Of Minneapolis and 1t. Gov.
Ives were the principal actors on the
Republican side, and each acquitted
himself in worthy manner During
the time that the wild scene lasted, the |
stately president remained firm, and was
not a whit daunted by the bluffs and |
roars of the Sage of Nininger. He rem
dered his decisions with GOODNESS, and |
ordered the great Dakota county states
man to take his seat with display of |
nerve that would have done credit to
the present ruler Of the lower house of
congress. Smith, too, was always on
the lookout, interrupting the Sage and
flooring him at every turn. He proved
master of repArtee and laid the author
of Caesars column at his feet repeated
ly, humiliated and defeated. Donnelly
all the while foamed and raved, but it
was to no purpose. AS smooth a
tongue and as sharp q wit as his own
were ready at every moment to answer
him, and in John Day Smith he found
a man VINO was his equal in debate and
his superior in shrewdness and tact.
The Minneapolis Tribune in comment
ing on the tilt said: Senator Smith paid
his respects to the arrogant boss of
cryptogramic notoriety in manner
that excited the admiration of every
man who heard him. For once the fell
low who styles himself ''the brainiest
man in Minnesota was .outgeneraled,
outwltted and out-talked, and for once
he.received we'll deserved roasting, adj
ministered in most artistic style. In
John Day Smith, a quiet, unassuming
senator from Minneapolis, he had run
against 3 veritable buzz-saw, and it
ripped him fore and aft and amidships
| in manner that made him wonder if
he would eyer get out of the scrape
alive. Here's to John Day Smith, and
may he repeat the dose as often as the
bully from Dakota county shall need it.

Zach Taylor, the colored man, indicted
for illegal liquor selling in Sewiokley, was
convicted in Criminal Court yesterday. T.
H. B. Patterson, his counsel, has raised a
point that as Sewickley is a proh:bitory
district, and Taylor was convicted under q
general indictment, the proceeding is un-
just and he will take the case to the Su-
preme Court. He filed a motion for an ar
rest of judgment and asked that the ruling
of the court be put in writing. Taylor has
been employed by DR.. Murray, of Sewickley,
as coachman since the death of the late John
H. Hampton, for whom he worked in the
same capacity. He was charged with keep
ing a supply of liquors on hand in the barn,
and that he was in the habit of dispensing
this very generally. Taylor did not deny
having the liquor, but said he only gave it
away.

The Alton Introduces . Form Of Ticket
Proof Against Manipulation.
CHICAGO, Dec 24.-The Chicago and
Alton Railroad has given official notice, ad-
vising the public that the sale of funlimited
tickets will be discontinued January l.
On that date the company will put into use
a new form of ticket, and thereafter all
tickets presented for passage on Alton
trains will be taken up on first presentation
and continuous passage train checks given
in lieu thereof. These cheeks will be lin
tied to the train and date on which they are
issued. No stopover will be allowed on
any class of ticket. Single trip tickets
will be limited to expire one day after date
of sale. Round trip tickets will be limited
in the same way, except that the return
coupon will not expire until ten days after
date of sale.
The new ticket is duplex affair and, un-
der the restrictions adopted by the Alton,
is proof against manipulation. Scalpers
can have no use for it and dishonest con-
ductors will find that they can no longer
carry on the traffic in tickets by which
some of them have been realizing incomes
largely in excess of their salaries Of
course the Atoms action is an experiment,
but, now that the road has acted independ-
emily in the matter, it is believed the
movement will become popular and sue

of John G. Schafer against Annie r.
Schafer was filed yesterday They were
married in October, 1886, and lived in
McKeesport. In the testimony she is
charged with infidelity, and Peter Savinni,
a hotelkeeper, and Harry Wilson are in
dicated as correspondents Mrs Schafer
denies that she was unfaithful.
Judge Magee refused an application to
refer back to the commissioner the divorce
case of Adaline F. Michaels against David
M. Michaels. Desertion was the allegation,
and a divorce was refused because it had
not been sufficiently proven. Mrs. Michaels
wanted the case reopened to enable her to
produce more witnesses. The Court re-
fused the application, and said the best plan
was to commence new suit.
