heard counsel at further length.
The Court reminded counst that a

that the breach only occurred when ont

HOW 10 EAT OYSTERS.
Raw by All Weaus--If. You Must Cook
Them, Try Roast.

Raw by All Neaus--If You Must Cook
Them, Try n Roast.
To the pure lover Of oysters it is
always an open question whether q
cooked oyster 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 so as to retain any portion of
their original grace The French
cook can cunningly distribute one
oyster over l2 pates, SO that each
pate will taste as If a 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 variant.
The common methods Of cooking
oysters in this country. are by stew
ing, frying and roasting them, and
it must be admitted that the average
cook in an oyster restaurant is ex-
ceedingly skillful in heating the oys-
ter through without forcing him to
coagulate. Those who want to alb
sorb oysters without eating them
raw should try them roasted, as this
method of cooking best preserves the
original, form and taste. ag
The true way to enjoy an oyster is
to eat him raw on his half shell,
fresh from the hands of the man
who opens his shell. II the oyster
is fresh and in good condition, he
will need no additions. There be
barbarians who cover him with
catchup, of whom we take no ac-
count. Others there are who sprin-
kle him with white pepper for their
stomachs' sake, and with these we
have no quarrel if they acknowledge
their complaint. Some add cayenne
pepper or tabasco sauce, so that they
may destroy their sense of taste un'
til they have swallowed their oyster
A squeeze of lemon is sometimes
necessary when the oyster has beer
sojourning in fresh water and has
not his proper salty flavor. But you

He had been wicked man. He

was coy and bashful.

lay the bounty jumper, the pallor OF
death on his face, but fighting the
specter away, she paused and stared

Sir George Tryon Is the fourth British

wreck or disaster unconnected with war
fare since the beginning Of the last cen
