who has opened 1900 oysters in day of
twelve hours, and he can now average
1900 IN day OF twelve or thirteen
hours work.
Mike Foley, who may well be termed
q lightning operator. and is now In his
hfties, has opened as many as $500
oysters in one day, and on ordinary days.
II he pushes himself, he can easily get
away with 5000 oysters. OF course the
oysters opened are large and small, Just
as they come. ms IL they were all small

John Lahey is good for an average OF
5000 day, and 50 Is an opener known
among the oystermen as Deaf George. 4"

be a knack about it that every oyster.
man cannot acquire. Some men, for in
stance, can only open 1900 oysters day
and they will nos go much above that
after years of work in this line.
The twenty-seyen men employed by
Alex Frazer on the North river will
average 5000 oysters a day. which is q
much higher average than is reached by
the majority Of the crews around New
York. These men also can turn out,
when required. 100000 oysters day In
all, which Is $4,000 oysters above the
average of 5000 man. There are very
few oyster scows in the market can
equal this average from week To week
II must also be considered that on some
days work begins ut o o'clock in the

A French scheme for House Heating.

The teachings OF NJ Trelat, the practical
experiments of NJ. Somesco, suggest that
the natural porosity OF our walls, especially
the outer walls, should not be destroyed.
These walls should be decorated, not with
paper and paint, but with porous, non.
conducting substances, such as wooden
drapery. The outer walls on the side
nearest to the inner surface should be
followed throughout. thus constituting a
double wall, with space OF about four
inches between the two walls.
a heating eontrivancc Of whatever de-
scriptinn may be found most expedicnt or
economical sHould be placed In the base
ment OF the house. A warm air chamber
or shaft travelling round the base Of the
outer walls should supply 10 the hollow IN
the walls air taken from the outside and
warmed ut the point nf admissiors nto the.
wall 70 a temperature Of from l00iegs. TO
10 degs, Fair. This should maintain the
temperature Of the inner wall at from 80
degs to so dogs Fair. Then the walls
will radiate sufficient heat through the
rooms to enable the inhabitants To con
stantly open the doors and windows, and
to breathe cold. fresh. outer air without
Inconvenience.
As a rule fires will be unnecessary,
dampness will be completely banished from
the house and To maintain some moisture
In the air IL would be expcdient To decorate
the house with numerous evergreen plants
The inhabitants should then b. able to
benefit by unlimited ventilation, and could
breathe pure, cold and fresh air coming

Direct State Indirect State

No comment can DO made upon this statement
so far as II concerns the year 1891, because OF
the fact that the Legislature was divided polti-
cally, the Senate being Republican and the AS
sembly Democratic, and moreover. the United
States Government paid into the State Treas
ury that year the sum OF s2,200,000 from the
Direct Tax Fund. and thus paid part Of the
bills Of the Legislature The last two years,
however, rs Is evident, Governor Flower and
the Democratic Legislature have largely In
creased the States expenses.
Mr.. Flower was imprudent in calling aften-
ton to the cost Of his administration One has
