HALF dozen of the phenOmenally
successful novels of the year are al
ready selling for cents apiece upon
the secondhand book carts. To this
complexion do they come 50 fast.
Soon ripe, soon rotten, they spring
up like the flowers that bloom in the
spring, and fade aS soon. AS the
grass withereth so withers away the
popular story. To awake some morn
ing and find yourself famous is fol.
lowed so often by an awakening a
few weeks later, when you find your
self forgotten. Here is a young
woman, an invalid, who tried to quiet
shattered nerves by writing a story
To her intense wonder ridiculous
critics praised it in terms which
wanted in nothing but discrimina
tion. Here was possible successor,
oh. sacrilege of George Sand, and
George Eliot and Jane Austen. Now
the volume is on the cart, as typical
of literary execution as any death
wagon that ever trundled the con.
demned to the Place de la COncorde.
Here is young man, one of the
cleverest living. He wrote a novel,
too. 1t was the analysis of woman
in humble life, brilliantly well done
But the foolish got after him, too,
and how he must laugh at his silly
admirers, because he is a born cynit
and has the culture which involve,
knowledge Of the best things writ
ten. Some had the daring to com
pare his gamblers wife to the
women whose souls have been turned
inside out by the masters like Balzac.

hope that respite will snatch him

IF farmer wants to try nitrate of

Under her direction the work of

and thereafter the society welded an
immense power in the nation. In the

campments and at fairs, in the halls
of Congress and in the dives of great
cities the influence of these indefati-

into culture depth as great as forty
| feet. The ropes forming network
between the corner posts must sup
port the weight of the collecting de-
vices. The Cordage must therefore
be strong and durable in water. A
wire-grass rope an inch in diameter
is manufactured in Naples for this
purpose. 1t lasts for one or two sea-
sons, and costs about &c per yard.
Loose bundles of hazel or goose
boughs, termed fascines are suspend
ed by the ropes in the water. They
become quickly watersoaked and form
the most convenient collectors.
These, when covered with young oys-
ters, are broken into twigs and woven
into ropes, which, when suspended
from the network above, utilize the
water volume from surface to bot
tom. Oysters that have become dc
tached and fallen to the bottom, to-
gether with grown oysters, are placed
in a peculiarly constructed basket
and suspended precisely as are the
twig ropes.
Preparing the Fnscines.
The fascines gather the spat from
the oysters suspended on the ropes.
The spawning season is greatest be-
tween April and October, but expert
ments show that spawning occurs
during the whole year. The fascines
freshly prepared during the winter
are taken out of the shallow water
in the spring and anchored in deeper
water In May the fascines are
taken up, well rinsed, and suspended
in the shallower water in the
parks, Here they get their second
coating of spats. In the next spring
the fascines are taken ashore and
deposited in huge banks as prelim-
mary to weaving the ropes, The at
tendants now proceed to take them
apart, chopping each bough with its
attached oysters into twigs about
eight inches long. The oyster twigs
are now deposited in baskets and are
carried to the next attendant, who
spices them ingen lously between the
strands of rope, so that when com
pleted the twist of the rope. together
with increased weight, keeps the
twigs firmly in place Thus arranged
the rope bristles symmetrically with
its oyster bearing burden. Cargoes
of these ropes are then rowed to the
parks and put in place, The growing
conditions of the oyster now become
especially favorable The heavily
burdened ropes swing and vibrate in
the currents, allowing each oyster tC
escape the accumulatng sediment
and to secure an equal share OF the
volume of floating food. TheiI
growth is certainly rapid: an oyster
three-fourths of an inch in diameter
in March, when suspended to the
rope, has attained by October about
four times its original diameter, and
has thus become marketable. Two
years and half, however, is gen
orally allowed to produce an oyster OF
first grade in the Tarentine market
A rope fourteen feet in length will
rear about 1000 marketable oysters.
Another device used in giving oyster.
their final growth is net covered
ring, which often supports 400 or 500
oysters.
Fusano and Lucrine Lake, neal
Naples, are also oyster bearing loca
tions, but decidedly unimportant a.
compared with Tarente. The method
of culture is the same as at Tarente
1t may be added that dredging is ex
ceptionallY or never INDUCED.

SOME QUEER LAWS.

'Bunco'' Kelley's trial at Portland is
dragging slowly along. Yesterday Pros
ecuting Attorney Hume and Judge
Caples, who is conducting the defense,
had lively little row. After considera-
BILE back talk Judge Caples said he was
sorry; exceedingly sorry that he spoke.
Mr.. Hume erected himself and said he
too was sorry; sorry beyond expression.
The judge, with tears in his judicial
eyes, murmured his regrets, and Kelley
even looked lugu brious and wiped away
q tear. And then "Bunco" Kelley's
written confession was offered in evil
dence, but the defense proved by the
prosecuting attorney that the confession
was lie, and 1t was not permitted to be
read in evidence. From all of which it
will be seen that "they have some queer
lows down in Multnomah.''

Trvinr the nIind Cnre.

A New York merchant is reported by
the Tribune to have found his office boy
weathering one of the terribly hot days
of last summer in a manner highly
philosophical, and therefore worthy
in its spirit, at least-of general imita-
tion. 1t was dull day, with nothing
going on. The boy had taken off his
coat and vest, and would have taken
off his collar, but that his employer OBJ
jected. BY and by the merchant saw
him writing putting down a word or
two and looking out of the window al
ternately. The merchants curiosity
was excited, and he stepped up behind
the boy and looked over his shoulder.
In front of him lay a foolscap sheet
half-flled with words like these: ''Ice-
cream, icebergs, ice-cold soda, north
pole, Greenland, Iceland" and so on.
The merchant took the hint, and be-
gan to feel more comfortable immedi-
ately.

INTRINSIC KALUE.

Men talk about the intrinsic value of
gold. The word intrinsic has gol
den sound about it. The intrinsic value
of anything is what it will do for you in
your hour of peril. What is the intrin-
sic value of a piece of plank twenty-four
feet long, one foot wide and two inches
thick? Its intrinsic value is million
dollars TO the man who is drowning, but
at any other time it would not be worth
great deal. Mr.. Silbey, in his great
silver speech gives his ideas of intrinsic
value in this way:
sMen talk about the intrinsic value
of gold. A banker told me the other
day that he could not assent to my prop
osition, because he believed the time
had come when we should join hands
with the other great nations and come
down to the use of a metal which had
intrinsic value about it. I said to this
gentleman: I do not know that l can
raise the funds at present: I have seri-
GUS doubts if I can raise percentage
of the amount; but suppose can get
$4,000 of gold bullion. You pay three
per cent on the deposits, do you not?'
Yes, sir well, now, will get $10,-
900 worth of gold bullion and bring it to
you as deposit. You would rather
have that than paper, because paper has
no intrinsic value, while gold bullion
has. will deposit this bullion for six
months, and draw per cent interest on
this time deposit 'Oh!' he said, Il
cannot give you per cent on that
sWhy not,' said I. We'll then,' said I,
Il will take the bullion down to the
mint at Philadelphia, and 1 will get the
people there to put upon it the stamp
and superscription of the United Ststes,
Will you take it then?' He said: 'Oh,
yes; would be glad to- We'll, then,'
said 1, what has the intrinsic value got
to do with this matter? What is it that
gives this metal power as money SO that
you are willing to pay me 8 per cent in
terest upon it. Is it the intrinsic value
of the metal2 No; it is the image and
superscription of Caesar that makes it
money Baker City Democrat.

bonds covering the improvements are

perhaps, to the idea, unless it is that
the issue of bonds secured by faith are
all right, while those secured by real
estate are all wrong. We see no differ

paid, whether it is secured by pledge of
real estate or not. We agree with our
