THE sUCCULENT OYSTER.
How to Eat Him and What to Drink
With Him.


To the pure lover of oysters it is always
can be considered as having any longer a
claim to his name. America is the only
country in the world where oysters can be
cooked 80 as to retain any portion of their
original grace. The French cook can cun-
ningly distribute one oyster over twelve
pates. so that each pate Will taste as If
whole oyster had been cooked in it, but
this is merely the flavor of oysters. The
chief use which the English cook makes of
oysters is to add them to white soup as a
variant The common methods Of cooking
oysters in this country are by stewing,
frying and roasting them; and 1t must be
admitted that the average cook in an oys-
ter restaurant is exceedingly skillful in
heating the oyster through without forcing
him to coagulate. Those who want to
absorb oysters without eating them raw
should try them roasted. as this method of
cooking best preserves the original form
and taste. The word Boston" prefxed TO
certain preparations of oysters on bills of
fare indicates that toast or tomato ketchup
or some other compatible or Incompatible
is added to give the oyster Back Bay
flavor.
The true way to enjoy an oyster is to
| eat him raw, on his half shell, fresh from
IL.
If the oyster is fresh and in good cOndi-
ton he will need no additions. There be
barbarians who cover him with ketchup,
of whom we take no account. Others
there are who sprinkle him with white
pepper for their stOmachs' sake, and with
these we have no quarrel il they acknowl-
edge their COMPLAINT Some add ayenne
pepper OF tabasco sauce so that they may
destroy their sense OF taste until they have
swallowed their oyster. A squeeze OF
lemon is sometimes necessary when the
oyster has been soj0urDlng in fresh water
and has not his proper salty flavor. But
your right oyster, engulfed by the right
man. needs no condiments; he stands alone
on his merits and finds comfortable home
wherever he goes.
still a matter of doubt II the oyster be
u OF too salt then il is bes. to drink nothing
with him, or before him, or after him. Yet
is well to provide for those who have a
sinking feeling after swallowing a dozen
raw oysters; for these we should advise a
gentle dose OF sauterne or chablis, or some
light native or foreign white wine. Any
form Of spirits is not recommended. though
there is great Irish Judge living to-day
whose chief diet is neat brandy and oys-
ters. A very dry champagne agrees excel
lently with oysters. The stouts of Dublin
and London are much vauntei by their
respective cities as the true accompanist
to the oyster and there Is much to be said
in favor of this liquor, because 1t forms a
gradual and impalpable union with the
oyster when they meet. New York City is
without any distinctive beverage as an ad-
juvant for oysters, which is perhaps as
we'll for everyb body, as we need no encOur-
agem6ut to eat oysters.

THE BICYCLE GIRL.

Maud Muller on summer day
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
But when she looked to the far-off town.
Her hopes went up and her feet went down.
And her speed increased till the dust arose
And filed her hair and throat and nose.
Thus real estate sho had not known
She carried away and called her own.
The Judge walked slowly down the lane,
swinging his great gold-headed cane.
And looked at the grass and flowers and trees,
The singing blr1s and humming bees;
And watched the swallows skim and dip,
Till the bicycle struck him amidship,
When he stopped where the cool spring bubbed up
A little disfgured and doubled up.
And when he came to, he wondered whether
The lightning had struck him In such fair weather
His clothes were torn and his brand-new cane
Was found next day at the end OF the lane.
He held his shin while he danced reel
In q may whirl with the maden's wheel.
And something he said about he'd be blowed
IL he didn't wish she'd staid out OF the road
He spoke of the things which the preachers say
Are the sinners doom on the judgment day.
And Maud forgot her much-torn gown,
And her promised trip TO the far-off town,
And listened while sad surprise
Looked out from her beautiful hazel eyes.
At last. like one who couldn't stay,
She mounted her wheel to ride away.
But alas for maiden! Alas for Judgei
She found the bicycle wouldn't bulge.
Her wheel In vain to spin it she turned,
While her cheeks like a tallow- candle burned.
For the tire was of and the chain was broke,
One treadle was wound around q spoke
The Judge looke ed back as he climbed the hill
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
The proud man sighed with secret pain
For fear the thing would hit him again,
But the lawyers smiled that afternoon
o see him sadly out OF tune.
For they could not guess by mile or so
The pictures he saw come and CO.
And when the maiden drew her draft,
For damage done the Judge he laughed.
And drew his check and n OF his rein.
Saying, Far worse 1t might have been"
But 1t filed his heart and soul with awe
When he tried to explain to his mother-in.law,
And when she spoke OF the squsndered gold
HI grew hot and she grew cold.
All well for us all that husbands lies
Arc as good as tho truth In a womans eyes,
And in the hereafter angels may
Quit riding bfcy cies on the hig hway.

poor work, but as most of it was done
four years ago it will bs hard 10 locate the
guilty parties. The architect was in

BOTTLED BEER SEIZED.
Tempting Sight in the City Prison
Courtyard.

The loafers who frequent the old City
Hall hung around the iron railing that
surrounds the courtyard yesterday and
gazed longipgly down upon the rows Of
bottled beer. Some of them under the i'm
preston that the prison authorltie s
were to treat the priso ners to an unlimited
supply of beer were debating in their
minds whether it would not be a good
scheme to get run in. while others cudgeed
their brains to devise some method of
lassoing the bottles and imbibing their
contents.
The bottled beer had been seized
from groceries throughout the city on
search warrants issued at the instance of
the Fredericksburg Brewing Company.
The bottles of the company are marked
by blowing the name on them when made.
The company had learned that a large
number of grncerymeE instead Of return
ing their bottles filled them with keg beer
and sold it for Fredericksburg. Hence the
seizures.

in the country parts of Hungary,
where there is often no church within
many miles, the christening of child
IS momentouS event. which people
look forward to with joyful anticipation
as to gay festival, says the London
Telegraph. 1t includes long drive to
the town or village where the church is

banquet, with the usual accompaniment
of singing, drinking and dane

This was what John and Magdalen Bat
ter, of KessineZ. did when New Years
day they took their child from their
house to Traunau, where the priest was
awaiting its arrival to perform the bap-
tismal ceremony. They had a nice
hamper of provisions for the road, in
which home-dstilled spirits to keep the
cold out occupied Il prominent place.
The child was carefully wrapped up in
SWaddling clothes and envelOped in
further wraps and shawls till it
became bulkier than it was long,
after which it was duly deposited on the
floor of the sleigh. which was thickly
streWn with straw. 1t was a cold day,
and the occupants of the sleigh were
obliged to swallow large quantities Of
alcohol TO keep the cold out, so that
when they reached the parish church
and were met by the priest they were
all in a state of hilarious good humor.
