Homemade Oysters.

Years ago a family lived on a farm
in little country, where there was
no railroad, and the nearest city was
a number Of miles distant, says Har-
per's Young People. The father was
very fond Of oysters, and how do you
suppose he managed to have some al
ways "at hand?" He would drive to
the nearest city, buy Eushel of real
live" ones, and bring them back home
with him. But that was not all.
They were then carefully placed in
rows along the cellar floor, where it
was rather dark and cold and little
damp.
The most interesting part, how
ever, was to keep them alive. Every
little while some one would 60 down
cellar" and feed them by sprinkling
them with meal and with water. One
of the little girls in the family, who
is now grown up, says she can remem-
Der how the oysters closed their
shells with snap after they were
fed, but perhaps that was only in
her imagination. Anyway if they
happened to be forgotten for time
they would be found patiently wait
ing with their shells open ready to
receive their next meal.

A LiIliputian Naval Battle.

The amusing experiment of lilli-
putian naval battle can be made with
white chalk and the ordinary table
vinegar. Model, say a dozen, chunks
Of chalk to the resemblance of ships,
planning the bottoms evenly and using
matches for masts, smoke stacks, and
turrets. The rival forces you can
distinguish by coloring the enemy's
ships with black ink, leaving your
own white. Having placed them in
a pan or plate close to an imaginary
dividing line, pour good quantity
of vinegar between the chalk sticks.
Instantly you will hear an audible
seething like the Kissing of shells in
actual warfare, while ships as if
putting steam will begin to move for
ward in slow evolutions, leaving be-
hind them streaks of foam such as
are observed in the wake of moving
vessels. When meeting at the divid-
ing line they will have attained quite
a respectable speed, humping and
cutting together in the endeavor to
push one another farthest from the
cividing line. The engagement often
proves an exciting one. OF course
the side has won which has the larger
number of ships nearest the center
after the ARRAY. The chemical solu-
ton of this seeming mystery is quite
simple. Chalk, being largely carbon,
