LONDON, April AT Hull to-day the
striking union dock laborers by threats

~ a MAN MISJUDGED.

The world goes by, and fancies he is cold,
Self-wraptin coils of ogotistic thought
Fettered with links of subtle cobweb,
wrought
BY selfish meditation. Men have told
Each other laughingly that once he sold
His heart for love OF knowledge-that >
bought
calm content $50 oft and vainly sought)
BY breaking every dear affections hold.
They read him lightly he has never known
The loose emotions that can weep at will,
The void that makes each passing wind It's
own;
Yet in his breast are caverns hard TO fill
Not to be fathomed by tho careless stone
OF those that cast to show their petty
skill.
Heis OF alien character to theirs
Who brand him with their foolish, worth
less scorn;
His careless seeming Is a vesture worn
To hide the troubled front of many cares
Beneath the cloak OF callousness he bears
a beating heart, with sorrow often torn;
He has burden heavy to be borne
or love and sympathy; his thoughts are
pray'rs.
When most he seems unhco3ful no is sad
For that vast trouble which is lirc's below
Longing to teach the fearful TO be glad,
Tho helpless hoperul-wearying to know
What food for famshod spirits may be had
What solacc for the mass of human woe.

AN ENEMY TO THE OYSTER.
Great Destruction I'm the Delaware
Bay Beds by the &" Borcr."

The "borer," Il pest Of about the size
of q small strawberry, is working great
havoc among the oyster beds in Delaware
Bay aud tributary streams.
Capt Moses Vcale, Of The oyster
schooner White Lily, says that the de-
structive powers of the "borer" have
been known to oystcrmcn only few
years. He has followed oyster dredging
nearly thirty-fiyc years, and the first
"borer he saw was about ten years ago,
but their ravagcs in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticcd until last year.
Capt. Veale said that "last year the
number Of dead oysters With holes made
by borers in the she'll became so great
that oystermen were alarmed. The year
the work of the borcrs has become grave
matter, and il it continues n any bays will
be depopulatcd OF oysters. From one
bed we dredgtd on this trip VIC got 200
baskets of oysters, but out of these only
zoo were good, the dead oysters having
been killed by borcrs. A peculiar thing
about the ravagCs Of the bOrcIs is their
apparent selection OF the best oyster-beds
We have found this to be true several
times this season. We have found a bed
of small oysters almost entirely free from
'borcrs' This bed will be separated
from another bed of larger oysters, by
200 feet, but this latter bed will lo So
badly affected by the creatures that it
will hardly pay to work it.
From what ! can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought 10y borcrs is
much more sc>c in Delaware Bay than
in other places.
"Thc work Of tho borcr this year
makes double misfortune, for the oyster

storms in August and September. Very

methods Of the bor"r. When first took

Various cities in Germany have es.

sity OF accepting food given in charity
Our Consul at Chemnitz, Jan es G..
Monaghan, in report to the State De.

count of an institution of this kind in
that city, as the result of visit. "The
food is substantial, he declares. "To

excellent. The meats, vegetables, etc. -,

the list of the food given, observes the
Boston Herald, it appears TO be sub
stantial and excellent in kind and
variety, and that tho institution is ap.
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
last year 435, 800 dinners were sold.
The food is sold 10y the portion, and

municipal lodging house here in Bos.
ton, meals and lodging are paid for in

soup at the police stations through tho
winter has little to commend il. II is
demoralizing and encourages vagrancy
and pauperism. The bounty often goes
to unworthy recipients, and instances
have been related of keepers of cheap
boarding houses obtaining supplies for
their tables regularly in this way. On
the other hand, many who may really
need the food are too sensitive TO re.
ceive it in charity. IL would be much
better 10 sell the soup at cost, together
with bread and perhaps other simple
kinds Of food.

design being Gothic, but it has been so

PerlumaI IrSiS.

On certain parts of the coast of
France, including tho channel, mists
occasionally appear which are gcncr-
ally called "perfumed mists." They
come in the morning, especially duy-
ing the spring, and, strangely enough,
only when .hc Wind IL In the north
east. Sometimes they only last for n
few minutes, Mt others they hang
about all day. They have character
istic smell, similar to that of a lime
kiln.
The origin of these mists is n mys-
tory. In one district the inhabitants
thought TIE smell came from some
lime kilns some miles to the northeast,
and they may have been right; but
that was not an explanation of the
phenomenon, because tho smell from
those limo kiIns could not have been
carried 10y northeast wind to all tho
other places where the mists were seen
and the smell noticed.
In one Of these places the northeast
wind comes from the sea, in another
il comes from overland the smell
does not, therefore, necessarily como
from tho ground. During tho past
few weeks the northeast wind has been
very prevalent and the mists frequent.
The best explanation given is that
tho clustering northeast and enst winds
sweep up the dust, gases aud germs of
the ground over which they pass and
drive them toward the sea. When
this wind has continued Cor some tins
