THE SUCoULENT OYSTER.

At First it is Infinitesimal, But as 1t
Grows, Shoots Out.
On beginning Its career the oyster is so
small that 100000 oysters would only
occupy a square inch. In six months each
individual oyster is large enough to cover
a nickel. q In twelve months q quarter.
The oyster is its own architect, and the
shell grows as the fish inside grows, being
never too small. 1t also bears its age upon
its back, for on its shell are successive
layers overlapping one another, techni-
cafly termed shots" and each one makes
a years growth.
BY counting them the age of the oyster
can be determined. Up to the time OF It's
maturity-that is. when four years of age
the shots are regular and successive;
but after that time they become irregular
and piled one upon another, so that the
shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossiloysters have been seen OF which each
she'll was nine inches thick. whence they
may be Judged to be more than nine hun
dred years old.
One to W million oysters are produced
from a single parent, and their scarcity
IS accounted for by the fact that man is
not the only oyster eating animal. The
startish loves the oyster, and preys upon
1t increasingly. A variety of whelk is
also very fond Of young oysters, TO get at
Which it bores right through the shell
and sucks the fish up through the hole
thus made.-Ibe NeW York Ledqer.

A WORD TO OFFICE SEEKERS.
From Harper's Weekly.

AAdi pcf o VCChtus
70 all young men who contemplate a
journey to Washington for the purpose
of securing employ ment, the best advice
is. don't. The humblest situation In a
mercantile house, where the peculiarly
reward is small. where the hours are
long, n where the labor is hard, Is bet
ter in the end than a government clerk
ship. One way lies opportunities for adj
vancement, for the utilization and final
reward OF every talent and all the energy
that the young man possesses. The other
way lie hopelessness. drudgery, stagna-
tion.
Many a poor young man seeks q gov
clerkship in order that he may
earn his support while he is studying his
profession. He is playing with fire. He
is taxing up as a staff that which is
likely to become necessary to him as a
crutch He is in danger of discovering.
when his profession is learned, that he
has not the moral courage to drop his
government stipend. 1t would have been
Infinitely better-l5 might have been his
making-if he had toiled for scantier
dollars in q manlier way.
The government clerk drags tout a
monotonous existence. dreary, unpromis-
Ing of advancement. and if he is not
turned out in his old age, to llnger on
through his few remaining wears in
poverty, he is one of the most fortunate
of his kind.
There is no service that so destroys the
latent energies and kills the hope as that
of a government clerk. Young men who
think they have the ele ments of success
in them should avoid it as they would

to general expectation. Mayor Willard
Wright at last nights session of City
Council presented the ordinance for the
purchase of the Atlantic CITY water
works with his signature appended, which
he said he affixed under protest. In a
short address he said that, while he was
in favor of municipal conlrol of the city's
water supply, he believed that the price
paid. $500, 000, was exorbitant. In his
opinion it WAS more important for the
city to obtain control of the Sewerage
system. aud to inaugurate the paving of
streets, which were absolutely necessary

Immediately after the nnouncement
OF the Mayors approval, an ordinance
was presented and adopted creating a
salaried Board of Water Commissioners,
five in number, to be appointed by City
Council.
