OYSTERS AND SEEDS

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell worth
less oyster on opening it. The value of
seed must be determined by its growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability of
the firm from which you buy.

A Lawyers Little Joke.

The humor of the legal mind is some
times trifie subtle. There is just now
to be seen in the window of famous
secondhand book shop in the Strand a
complete set of "Voltaire" in fifty vol
umes. The s is bound in what is tech
nically known as Flaw calf" 1t has
evidently belonged to lawyer who hesi-
tated to let h. clients perceive that he
was given to reading anything SO mis-
chievously frivolous as the philosopher
of Ferney, or who could not resist his
own little joke. Instead, therefore, Of
lettering the volume "Voltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed "Arouet's Reports" ="
The joke would Of course be lost upon
those who happened to have forgotten
that the great philosophers proper name
was Arouet de Voltaire. London Cor.

Fond Of simple Diet.

The Astor House has among its regu.
lar patrons Of the lunch counter in the
rotunda one gentleman who for period
Of ten years, summer and winter, has
scarcely varied his diet for his MONDAY
meal.
He is tall, athletic man, always well
dressed and appears to be, if not
wealthy, n man in excellent circum-
stances. II must be from choice then
and not pecuniary reasons that each day
in the year he orders regularly bowl Of
milk and plate of crackers and con-
cludes the repast with chocolate eclair
in winter and dish of berries in sum
mer.
The gentleman for fully a half score
of years has not altered this order.
Whether he is interested in dairy and
desires to popularize milk diet no one
seems TO know. That the food agrees
with him is evident from his appearance,
and mere glance only is conclusive
evidence that he most thoroughly en-
joys the refreshing repast.-New York

And once again II came and thrilled me there

And saw the star fields and the giant birth

And all the chords of being greatly stirred;
But tongue and pen fell mute; alone there
spoke

Area and Formulation of the World.

The data given in "Die Bevolkcrung

world is 2,299, ,431 square miles and the
population i,479,729, 15l, an average Of
twenty-eight to the square mile. Raven
STEMS revised estimate for 1890 gives
the area at 81 25O,sOO, the population at
1,467 100000, and twenty-nine to the
square mile, and estimates the increase
of the worlds population in decade
1SS0-90) at 8 per cent.
In computations of this kind several
totals, particularly in Asia and Africa,
have TO be obtained by estimate. It is
quite possible that the total population
reaches more nearly 1,500,0O0,0 900 than
the figures given. In any event the lat

A Pope with the Evil Eye"

In the early years Of his papacy, when
he was adored by the Roman people,
Plus TX was driving through the streets
Of Rome and chanced to look up to an
open window, where nurse was stand
ing with a child. A few minutes after
ward the nurse let the child drop to the
pavement below and IL was killed. In
stead Of laying the blame to the care
lessness Of the nurse II was laid to the
malevolent influence Of the evil eye.
and the fancy became universal among
the lower classes in Italy that the pope
had the evil eye, and II lasted until his
death. Travellers who knew Of the be-
lief were often amused to see people
kneeling to receive the pope's blessing,
and at the same time holding the fingers
forked TO break the malefcent power of
his glance. When Plus TX gave up his
liberal theories and fell back to the old
accustomed methods of government
there were an abundance of liberals who
took it as proof positive that he was
possessed of an evil spirit. Chicago

When we stop to think, we wonder
how real the silly superstitions, in which
nobody believes, are in their influence
upon our actions. We hesitate to start
on journey on Friday; we walk out in
the mud rather than go under a ladder;
we don't give knives or sharp instru-
ments to our friends, and we don't do a
hundred things that we might, all be-
cause, though we are not superstitious,
we would rather not do what suggests
anything disagreeable.-Harper's Bazaar.

Is the entrance, as it were, upon an
active life. Tho education of many Of
them will stop right here, SO far as
going to school is concerned, but so

ing and harvest, and they are as de-
serving of credit, and more SO, than

review, or the leader or novel of later
years. These orations anu essays are
evidences of an unfolding mind, and
it is only the unthinking who can loo h
upon the fruit blossom OF intellectual
harvest with doubt or disdaln.
