Sarah Bernhardt was made present of
barrel of Lynn Haven oysters some time ago
by New York man who has business con-
nections at Norfolk, Va The barrel sent to
Sarah was filled with educated oysters. The
oysters were educated in this way: Each oys-
ter was set upon end, in layers, in small
tubs Care was of course taken to pack the
oysters with their mouths upward. Several
small tubs were filled in this way, at inter-
walls of several hours. They We're then trans
ferred to barrel which had a movable
head, and before they were placed on board
the steamer Guyandotte they were fed on
salt water and oat meal, made of such con-
sistency that it trielled slowly from one layer
of oysters to another on its way to the bottom
of the barrel.
Orders were given that the oysters should
be fed in this way on alternate days until
they reached their destination The man
who packed them promised that, if his direc-
tons were followed, the oysters would be
alive and in good condition at the end of two
weeks. The barrel, as it stood on the pier of
the Old Dominion Ste amssip lire at Nor
folk, cost S13 1t was brought to New York
on the Guyandotte, was at once transferred
to steamer of the French line, and by her
delivered at Marseiles. Thence it was
rel of as fine oysters were ever produced
at Lynn Haven reached its destination,
every oyster was large, fat and alive, and as
frisky in his subdued way as the Bernhard

Americans do not understand prac-
teal joking In the same sense that it
is understood in England. Practical
jokers who tried their pranks in the
United States would probably receive
a reception that might astonish them
In England practical joking seems TO
be the summum bonum of many mems
lives.
At a country house in England there
is certain to be good deal of practical
joking, particularly if there is one man
who is considered slow" In Kent,
not long ago, when cricket week was
in progress, guest had the bad luck
to incur the i'll will of the rest of the
men in the party. He declined to stay
up late in the smoking room. and re-
fused to join at game of cards One
night after he had gone to bed the
rest of the men gathered at his door,
and, finding he had retired, went in and
carried him and the bed bodily down
stairs and out of doors, where they
carefully made up his bed, with him in
it, in the middle of the cricket field. =

Horses with Bogus Ia Is.

horses drove out Walnut street the other

One New York woman has a clever scheme
on which she ought to be able to secure a
patent, or at any rate a copyright. When
she makes fancy work or other adornment
for her home she makes two of each article.
One she puts in her rooms and the other she
lays away. Then" she says, II notice
which particular thing each of my friends
seems to admire the most, and at Christmas
OF birthdays or times like that l present the
friend with the duplicate of the article she
has most admired OF course it isn't neces-
sary for me to mention that | had it made
all the time and laid away waiting for some
one to give it to, but never tell any one
that made it especially for her. Almost
every one has a different taste, so that it is
rare that two persons admire the same
thing, and my set of duplicates generally
goes around pretty well among my friends

An Onyx Vein in the ozark..

Large deposits of onyx have been
found in the Ozark mountains, only a
short distance from st. Louis. The
only onyx in the market has hitherto
come from Puebla, Mexico, so the dis
covery of this new vein is of consider
able commercial Importance Onyx
is very valuable, selling for from
three dollars to fifteen dollars per
cubic foot, the buyer taking the risk
of possible flaws below the surface.
In mining it no powder can be used, SO
holes are drilled in rows and wooden
plugs inserted. These are then caused
to swell by soaking in warm water, and
solid mass of the desired size is thus
separated without danger. The onyx
is reached through a wide mouthed
cave in the mountain side, so it can be
marketed at very slight expense. New

How Tombstone Got Its Name.
"Mr. Warner, of Tombstone, be-
lever
Right you are said man with a
big mustache and a broad brimmed
hat in the office of the Brunswick.
Yes, I'll tell you how Tombstone got
its name. In the early days, when the
Apaehes were pretty bad around our
part of the country, prospector came
along by the name of Ed Schifiin. He
had been prospecting for good while
without finding much of anything. and
when he announced his intention OF
trying his luck around our camp (Which
was then totally without white popula-
toni he was warned that he would not
get back, and his friends would have
to go up and build tombstone on his
grave.
He went, though, and the first day
he found a rich piece of float which
assayed g, $50. The man is now worth
s., 900, 900, and the place has had the
name of Tombstone ever since. In APP
pearance he is a common miner yet,
wears a red flannel shirt, top boots
and broad hat, and doesn't care a fig
for his personal appearance. Rocky

Stars for the Restaurants.

The popularity of diaries down town is
increasing every day, and the gay end fes-
tive patrons of these lunch rooms remain
blissfully ignorant of the inside workings of
these institutions The walters are usually
young women, and these pretty dairymaids
have an easy time of it after all. AS rule
they command good salaries. In dairy a
maids face is her fortune, and the attend
ants are divided into three classes Stars
are the very pretty girls, seconds" the pass
ably pretty ones, and thirds the maidens
whom nature has endowed with sweet tenn
pers but homely faces. The proprietor of .
prosperous down town restaurant Of tho
dairy type, during confidential chat with .
reporter the other day, made known some
inside facts about his business Of which the
public has for years remained in ignorance.
'.It is very difficult to secure the services
of very pretty young ladies' said he, land,
of course, they command good salaries.
Every dairy has two or three stars that are
handsome attendants and they rarely work
more than three hours day. As for salary,
they command about SIS week, and have
known dairynlen to pay as high as S25 TO a
star dairymaid. These fortunate beings
commence their duties about Ii O'Clock in
the morning and finish as sson as the rush is
over, about ESQ or 3 O'Clock. You go into a
dairy late in the afternoon and you won't
see any of the very pretty girls, but at
lunch time they are always on hand. Ordi-
narily dairymaids get from s. to 50 a
week according to their qualifications. Some
of them are very jealous of the stars aud dc
all sorts OF womanly things to make their
lives unhappy, but, bless you, the pretty
girls don't mind little things like that Fol
young women who have to provide for them
selves the dairy is a good place, and many
prefer wor2lng as dairymaids to manipulat
ing tyINs They get fairly good salaries and
the work is comparatively easy.-New YorE

A Mistaken Father.

Many father directs all his affection and
anxiety for his children into the one channel
of accommodating wealth, in the face of the
fact that golden doors do not shut out death
and sickness, nor do they shut in cheerful
ness and contentment. Poverty is sorrow,
but wealth is not happiness. Moreover, in
America fortunes are made so rapidly and
lost SO unexpectedly that man cannot be
sure of competency for even few years,
and none can be confident of securing wealth
to his children throughout the whole of their
lives. But it is possible for every man of
means to give his children an equivalent of
wealth which no change of fortune can
affect, and which shall guarantee to girl or
boy certain competency.
To educate child SO that she can, if neces-
sary, be self supporting, is the plain duty of
every parent, rich or poor A woman who
can face the world and feel herself equal to
any fate that may befall her, is richer than
If she possess, instead, fortune in govern
ment bonds-Frances Fisher Wood
