The Sandy Hook pilot feetis composed Of
twenty-five boats mailing from New York and
eight from New Jersey. Each boat carries It's
number in huge black figures on both sides
of it's mainsail, and some OF the New \ rk
boats carry in addition the letters n. Y. on
their foresails These are the boats that
cruise 20 the southwark from Sandy Hook
and they carry these letters in order that they
may be distinguished from the Delaware
river or Chesapeake bay boats. IN whose COM
pany they are often seen. These numbers
and letters are not painted on the sails, but are
cut out of black canvas and sewn on.
The moral for ladies is. says Longman's
Magazine. Don't marry literary men," The
marriages Of authors have been wretched out
Of all proportion TO the common lot. The rea-
son IS not only that authors are vain and
irritable but Eighty and absorbed like artists
in their work. The true OF chief cause OF
married misery among writer's IA probably
this: They do their work at home. Now.
bricklayers soldiers, doctors. barristers,
clerks, and most men do their work away
from home. Domestic troubles about SER

ponent Of the sub-1reasury, the con-
ventiOn which nominated Mr. Carmichael
unanimously adopted a resolution instructing
him TO vote for neither Georgen or l}arksdale,
and also not TO vote for or against any propO-

Il like them best fried singly" said the
man who sat next at the oyster counter Pm
having some cooked that way now. You
know the way in some restaurants is 20 put
two or three rather small oysters together.
roll them in cracker dust and then fry them.
Unless they are very carefully fried the out
side may be oyerdone am tho inside I'M
derdone The better way is 10 take
good oysters Of pretty fair size, but not
too big. and give them the thinnest
possible coat Of very fine cracker dust:
what you want to taste is the oyster,
not the cracker Then you fry them singy.
and you are careful not 70 cook them too
much. You don't want 10 dry up the juices
of the oyster. You want 70 eat them from
plate that is just hot enough 10 melt the but
ter that you use. How much of the freshly
melted butter you shall eat upon each oyster
is matter Of taste For myself if the butter
is good like 20 turn tho oyster in il once
lightly. Sometimes like q little mustard on
fried oysters French mustard but the
ordinary kind. You want but very little Of il.
and some folks don't like it at all.
