An OYSTER salad.

An oyster salad, tested and vouched
for by a correspondent of the New
York Times, is made as follows: Allow
six oysters to each person, parboil
them in their own liquor and drain i'm
mediately. When cool, cut each into
four bits. Break the tender young
leaves of lettuce, never using knife,
as emitting destroys the freshness. and
mix in equal parts with the oysters.
Pour over the whole the following
dressing: Allow an egg to every two
persons. Boil 20 minutes. and when
cold cut the whites intp dice and mix
with the oysters and lettuce. Put the
yolks in deep dish, mash or pound
fine, and add a raw yolk. Stir olive
oil in slowly until the mixture is a
smooth paste. Season with lemon juice,
English mustard and salt. Then add
more oil Until the quantity desired is
reached

The Virginia building is certainly
an admirable repro luction of the his
toric house overlooking the Potomac.
The piazza, the low ceiling, and the
dormer windows are all there, and,
but for the ebb and flow of he throngs
of visitors, you would hardly be sur
prised to see the Father of his Country
and his estimable but somewhat domi-
neering wife step to the threshold to
bid you welcome However, if they
do not, Mrs Beale, the commissioner,
does and charming representative OF
the Virginia matron she is. You are
made to feel that all there is to be
seen and lie rned is placed freely at
y-= disposal.
OE5 important parsonage is Sarah
Washington. Mrs. Beale's colored at
tendant-a rect descendant of the
old Washington house servants, proud
of her name and of the worthy ances-
tors who adopted it. She is grave,
dignified, and courteous as becomes
her place and name, and in her one
may behold typical survival of the
servant of the old school.
The daily increasing crowds made
it extremely difficult to see anything
like these Virginia relics, shown as
they are in a somewhat restricted
space. One must patiently wait his
turn u1tii the throngs collected be-
fore some historic jug or platter make
up their minds to move on Or he may
stand on tiptoe. if he be short of stat
ure. or peep over the shoulders of
some interposing giant; or peer this
| way or that around the p0nderous
figure of some woman whose back is
nearly as broad as the mantle of
| charity.

Same Thing.

An Irishman went to a lawyer with
a case, but the attorney wanted re-
tainer The Irishman was poor, and
finally the lawyer said he would take
the case on a contingent fee. 1t was
settled, says an exchange, but the con-
tingent-fee part of the agreement
bothered the client. He confided his
ignorance to his friend, Paddy, and
asked for an explanation. can it is

contingent fee means that if ye lose
the case the lawyer gifts nothin'; if ye
win YOU git nothin'.''

1t Is often Microscopic and More
Acute Than Mans.
Birds have very acute vision, per-
haps the most acute of any creature,
and the sense is also more widely diff
fused c~~er the retina than is the case
with MAJ. consequently bird can see
sideways as well as objects in front of
it. A bird sees-showing great uneasi-
ness in consequence hawk long be-
fore it IS visible to man; SO, too fowls
and pigeons find minute scraps of food,
distinguishing them from what appear
to us exactly similar pieces of earth or
gravel.
Young chickens are also able to find
their OWE Hood-knowing its position
and how distinct it is-as soon as they
are Matched, whereas child only very
gradually learns either to see or under
stand the distance of objects. Several
birds-apparently the young of all
those that nest on the ground-can see
quite well directly they come out of the

nest in trees or on rocks are born blind.
