English Oysters.

The English system Of oyster cultiva-
ton is still what it has been for hun
dreds Of years in that country, and there
are two parts to it. The dredging Of the
small oysters, or brood, on the open
grounds near shore, and the subsequent
planting Of them on the fattening beds
of Essex and the Thames estuary. and
the culture Of larger beds in deeper wa
tiers beyond the ordinary fore stages.
On the southern coasts of England the
first system prevails, and the Thames
oysters, which are the product Of il. are
by Englishmen esteemed the best in the
world They are, at any rate, rare and
costly. The shell is delicate and the
flesh plump. The Thames beds are for
fattening and for breeding, and re-
ceive great care. Fsttening oysters do
not really yield much spat; and If any
fails it is left TO its natural fate Ia these
beds. The nourishment the oyster gets
there is largely from diortomaciB and
minute spores Of conferre, the latter
giving that prevailing delicate green
tint which the English connoisseurs de-
light in. Bushels Of perriwinkles are
scattered over the beds TO keep back a
too excessive growth.-Joel Benton In

falo, the experiment being preliminary to
the establishment of what will be known
as the Fast State train" He consulted
with Mr. William Buchanan, the superin-
tendent of motive power, who has designed
all the company's locomotives for years,
and the result was the swiftest journey
ever made by mortal man.
The day came for Mr.. Webb 10 start on
his monthly inspection tour. In his pre-
vious talk with Mr. Buchanan he had
asked, What do you think of a mile a
minute ali the way from New York TO
Buffalos" and the superintendent had re-
piled, 1T can be done with an average
train equal to five coaches" So the trip
began with this purpose in view. At 7:3o
A. m Engineer Kirk pulled out Of the sta
tion in charge of Buchanan's pet locomO-
tive, So which has driving wheels 614 feet
in diameter. Three palace cars equal in
weight TO five standard coaches made up
the train. Albany, I43 miles distant, was
reached in 40 minutes. There Engineer

lowing for stops. one being of nearly eight
minutes because of hot box, the train
had raced across the state at the rate OF
nearly 61 4 miles per hourI
Speaking of the event afterward Mr..
Webb said: "In order that this trip might
be one upon which calculations could b
based for practical service, no unusu
preparations were made for it. Not mo
than three or four men besides myself kne
that there was to be an attempt to max
such fast time. The trainmen did not
know it, the fireman did not know it, and
the engineers had no other orders than
were given them from point to point.
Consequently, the train started out just as
any train of equal length and weight
would start out. The result of the trip
practically demonstrates that an ordinary
passenger train can be run over our road
comfortably and safely at higher rate Of
speed than has yet been maintained in pas

just Out of Great Men.

The country is always "just OUT OF
great Iaen. The death of the poet Lowell,
the perpetual invalidism of Whitman
and the great age of Whittier have led
many papers of late L lament the decay
OF American poetry. These great mas
ters OF their art, we are told, will leave
no successors behind them. But great
men, from the standpoint of their con-
temporaries, never leave any successors
behind This is due to the fact that a
great man is not visible until he has re-
ceded to a great distance. He is usually
measured pretty accurately after he is
dead After Washington, Hamilton,
Jay and jefferson died the lament was
raised that the age of statesmen had
passed. The great heroic figures of our
history had passed off the stage of action
and left no successors. This lament was
raised. too. when Webster, Clay, Cal
houn and Jackson were in the full flush
Of their remarkable powers.
After these great men had left the
stage Of action the lament was again
rarsed that the age of great men had
passed To be sure, the presidential
chair was occupied by an awkward
backwoodsman from Illinois. But Lin
:oln was called vulgar story teller, an
rresolute, vacillating, good natured
nan, well meaning enough, but with no
executive ability Charles Sumner was
h the United States senate, but he was
called a visionary bookworm, full of
tanatical theories. but possessing no
practical craftsmanship. Now we look
back TO the time of Lincoln and Sumner
and say, There were giants on the
earth in those days" So the world is
always lust out" of great men, simply
because it does not appreciate a good
thing when it sees it-Or it must see a
good thing a long while before it can
properly estimate its qualities.-Yankee

spiracy against his life, he refused to
take medicines, hiding himself on the
roof or in the cellar of the hotel at the
hour the doctor was expected. Three
days before his death he was to have

tural Communities.
Pioneering is in the blood of c. Wood
Davis, the writer on economic subjects,
and particularly on the food supply OF the
earth. He was born in New Bedford,
Mass, of Plymouth colony line of ances-
tors, followed the sea, then sought wealth
In the mines of California, was in the serv-
Ice of the Michigan Central railway until
1863, when, with General Fremont. he
went to Kansas and began service with
the old Kansas Pacific. In 1865 nervous
prostration drove him to his farm near
Solomon City, Kan, where he sank the
first salt well west of the Missouri river,
as in his railway connection he had made
the first freight and passenger tariff and
time card used in tho same territory. He
moved from Saline county to Sedgwick in
1870, where he built the first house south
of the Arkansas river in Kansas, outside OF
what is now the city of Wichita. The
lumber was hauled 125 miles by wagon,
and he still resides in that house.
Railroading. cattle handling and coal
mine development at intervals occupied
his time until 1883, when he returned to
his ranch, and was led by the Improbable
ness of his farming operations to investi-
gate the question OF the worlds food sup
ply, present and prospective, relatively to
population, without any other object than
that of determining whether or not he
should continue his business or seek some
pursuit more profitable than farming. At
