Farming and Feeding Young
Oysters.

MIR. Charles Z. Sigerfoos, of the
Johns Hopkins University. who, last
summer, conducted experiments in oys-
ter culture at Beaufort. y. C., under
the direction of Prot. W. X. Brooks,
told last Thursday the experiments.
which demonstrated that young o, sters
could be fed artiicially. 1T has for
some time been known said Mr.
Siger:oos, that the food of the oyster
is purely vegetable. The only diff
Guilty was to find something of vege-
table nature minute enough to be eaten
by the young oysters when but a few
days old. The egg of the oyster is
exceedingly small, in fact, it can bare
ly be seen with the naked eye. In a
season an oyster is supposed 10 lay
several millions eggs. At Beaufort.
where the experiments were conducted
this year, the oysters lay their eggs
about the 18th of May. A large quan-
tity of eggs which had just been taken
from the. oysters were placed in a glass
aquarium. where their growth could
be easily watched. For a few DAYS
after being hatched the young oysters
can live without food. In order to get
food that would be sufficiently minute
tor the young oysters, we took the
leaves of the sea lettuce and crushed
ii as fine as possible, and put it into
the aquarium. On this the oysters
seemed to thrive, and we watched
their growth for eighteen days. They
grew much faster than they would il
lett 10 themselves in the water. For
the first month or so after the oyster
is hatched, il flnats around in the wa
ter in whatever direction the tide NAV
carry il. When it grows to he about
one fourth the size Of clover seed, it
attaches itself to some stationary sub.
stance, and there remains. Ii is not
known Just at what age an oyster
arrives before it attaches itself II is
probably between one AMI two months.
In Europe. in artiticially propagating
oysters, they are allowed 10 attach
themselves TO twigs. and in this man
ner they can easily be transported for
planting.

Well sir the 9th inst. You know,
when the Republican cholera was max
ing such general sweep throughout
the country killing out so many of the
Democratic chickens from the greatest

folks down here was whether the Wor-

hiding place. or would he also fall rs
victim to the enemy? But bless your
soul when the MESSENGER was coming
into the household we were notified of
its coming by the growing of the rooster

nothing short of the Asiatic Cholera

Malibran and Sontag, the two famous
singers, were rivals and once cast to sing
in Romeo and Juliet" Sontag was a
German, very sweet and gentle, but not SO
quick as Malibran, who was II Spaniard
The latter, who played Romeo, did her
best to puzzle and torment poor Juliet ut
rehcarsals, and when begged by her to say
on what part of the stage she was going
to fall in the last scene always replied she
really did not know, really could not tell;
sometimes she died in one place, some
times in another, just as it happened. On
the night Of the performance, Sontag meek

So deep was it that he did not hear
the heavy breathing Of the English serv-
ing maid i'll the other room, still less the
low voice that called her name twice,
Living over the long dead past, full resur-
rected now, he did not note the light
rustling of woman's garments, the fluff
of the curtain softly pushed aside, the
slender, white clad form that showed
beneath it, swept by glorious masses of
long, lOosened hair.
For one brief instant Edith Martindale
gazed on the motionless form before her,
with the soft, warm flush creeping be-
meath her pallid skin, and eyes filled
with tender light. Suddenly that light
died in them, replaced by the dull, cold
CLEAN Of horror; the olive face grew
CHASTITY white, and q gasping sob shiv-
cred from her heaving bosom to her lips
Then the man started up. His eyes
met hers. In their cold, hard glitter
not flashing in anger, not even lightened
with scorn, but calm and relentless-the
woman read her doom!
Adrien Latour rose to his feet quietly
on his face the same evil look it had
worn under the orange trees of the old
Spanish garden. But now it scared not
only her who felt it through the awful
stiffness, but it blistered equally his own
soul-black, unjust, hideOus in his sight!
For seconds the two stood thus, word
less, motionless-he with the past of
generations shamed upon his face, hers
with the ghost of dead hope making
its olive ashen.
Then she stretched forth those gleam-
ing, rounded arms, with pitiful, despair.
ing observation, her voice wall for that
hope her own hands had slain.
"Adrien, all my sin-God knows! =
was through my mad love!"
There was no passion in the mans
voice; it went to her soul, memorable
freezing.
GAS a boy l loved true woman; how
well never knew before. Fool that
was! lost her and shamed myself, A
word from you had saved us then
Knowing that you ruined three lives
and one other yOu"-
With low cry the woman sank upon
her knees.
"Man! have you no pity? God may
forgive me, if you will!'
The same dull voice answered her cry
81 am not your judge, AS you have
sinned, what have l not done? But new

woman still kneeling, with the deac

PART III-CHAPTER VIII.
EXPIATION

Latour-Bey strobe rapidly to his quar-
ters. Scarce half hour before he had
left that gateway; but he had lived years
in that interim. He penned hasty tel
egram to the minister of war that he
would report at Alexandria by the next
mornings train; then brief note to the
governor of Cairo requesting congo.
Summoning his orderly, he gave direc-
tions for packing some clothing and a
few designated papers; then sat down
and wrote full instructions for the Turk
ish colonel next in rank and for Capt.
Ahmed Mustafa.
All this Latour did with the method
ical quiet of his regular life before it had
been broken in upon by the Martindales.
Indeed, the memory of the past ten days
seemed literally blOtted out from his
life, or as an episode of the far past, with
no bearing upon the present.
Finishing his writing he lighted his Chi
bougue, unfolded Dale Everett's letter,
and carefully read once more every word
of its well remembered pages. Dated
at Paris, six weeks before, the letter
began:
"Constantly of late, here and at Lon
don, Lady Martindale and | have talked
of you, and of those dear old days, be-
fore war separated us, and some later
cause, never since explicable to me,

ing her, am now convinced that Edith

secrets which another's command and
my own sense of honor locked behlnC
my lips.

WINGED she visits Egypt now to test OF
the man that wonderful fascination o
hers which failed with the boy.
"Another reason this that | SHOULD
break my word and my silence now
that [ should reproach myself for no
having done so in the past"
Then the letter went on to explain
very delicately the story of that cottag
on the Hudson. and how it CHANGED tina

keeping. 1t further told how the youn
