A Mode1 Housekeeper.

The oyster is a particularly cleanly creature so far as his own person is concerned. His notions of housekeep- ing, however, are not such as would be likely to commend him to the favor of New England housewife. He does not like dirt but his way of cleaning house is to paint the dirt over instead of sweeping it out However he is not to blame for that, He does the best he can to keep clean with the resources at com mand
 An illustration of this method, which is rather remarkable, may be seen at some of the oyster counters just now. It is found particularly in Rockaway oysters. In the hollow of the shells in many instances are dark blotches the size of finger nail, which look not un- like a blood blister. These spots seem to be a decoloration in the she'll The nacreous surface is unbroken over them, though the dark and blue places bulge slightly above the surrounding white shell, Touch these spots with fork and they are easily broken into, showing layer of shell of tissue paper thinness covering small masses of mud, which may be scraped away until, be- heath, the ordinary white oyster shell is reached.
 The explanation of this phenomena is found in the weather of the last winter. There was a great storm off the south shore of Long Island, which destroyed many of the Rockaway oyster beds by filling them in with mud until the oysters were smothered and by tearing
 
 ings. Many other beds which were not destroyed were somewhat disturbed by the waves. That is the trouble with some of the Rockaways seen now in the mral1et The mud forced itself into their mouths and between the shell and their delicate membranes. If there is anything an oyster dislikes it is sand and grit irritating his tender skin. It makes him feel as badly as a man does with a cinder under his eyelid. He ig utterly unable to eject the troublesome so he builds over it a smooth layer of shell, and if left long enough undisturbed he will have buried it be- yond sight in the wall of his house. The mishap of last season is too recent for him to have done that, so he is found with the mud just covered with coating of nacreous paint.
 His method in this case is exactly the same as that followed by him in mak- ing pearl. A bit of sand gets in the folds of his body where he cannot get it out and he covers it with an ever layer of nacre that it may not cut and annoy him. If it is not in contact with the shell it is found in spherical body; if it touches the shell it is gradually covered in with it's growth and is so rendered harmless New York Tribune.

Spring Dresses from Paris.

The first French dresses imported for
 spring are charmingly light and at
 tractive. They are made of Scotch
 tweeds, crepons, and new mixtures of
 silk and wool that will serve not only
 during the demi-season, but in summer
 also, In style they have the graceful
 easy effect now so popular, and which
 is more easily carried out in light fla
 brics than in heavier winter stuffs, To
 give this effect belted waists reappear
 with dropping fronts, with box pleats,
 and with yokes, but with novel varia- tions from those now worn. The open ing of the round waist is concealed eith- CT under the front pleat or the trimming or on the left side, and the lining is fit- ted by darts and side forms in the usual way. The end of the waist goes inside the belt which is attached to the skirt, and modistes claim that putting the skirt belt outside permits them to regu- late the apparent length of the waist, making it long or short by placing loops on the dress waist to meet hooks inside the skirt belt.
 Satin or changeable taffeta silk yokes are on crepon and tweed gowns. Some are very shallow, others reach low on the bust and many are overlaid with lace vines or ecru embroidery, the vine patterns in rows around, and the ap- plique embroidery in lengthwise points. White satin is according to French taste, not too elegant for the yoke of a light tweed gown, and plain shot taffeta is good enough for that of a crepon waist, as in fact, they merely form a foundation for the embroidered or lace 
 A triple box pleat dropping over the belt remains in favor, and may begin at the throat or below D narrow yoke. The back usually repeats the front in peats that are not allowed to droop ruf1les of doubled silk ex- tend up each side of the pleats, widen ing toward the shoulders and made very full there Two boy pleats outside of wide band ~ embroidery are excellent trimmings both in front and back of wool dresses, or of silk as well.
 A short circular basque five or six inches deep is now seem with belted and box pleated waists, the basque being sewed to the top of the skirt with the belt which goes on outside the waist. As the skirt fastens in the back, the little basque is open in front and back alike. It is unlined, and is trimmed all around with a border matching the waist trimming.
 Mutton-leg sleeves remain in favor, but are more trimmed than they have been. They have lengthwise rows of milliner's folds or lace vines, or straight edged insertions reaching from armhole to elbow or even to the wrist. Elbow sleeves of single draped puff are seen again, while others are formed of ruff les all around A new fancy is that of cutting the sleeves of wool gowns to Hare at the wrist and inserting close satin under-sleeves, thus preparing for warm or cold weather, whichever may come.

EXPERIMENT IN SHELLS.
Harvard Crew VIII Beat Yale if Try Hard
 Can Do It.

Can Do It.
 Davey, the Cambridge boat builder, is busy on an experimental craft for the Harvard class of '97. The boat is being built on lines gotten up by Yacht De- signer Bryant of Boston and Coach Watson of Cambridge. She has been christened the Rainbow, and will be ready to wet about April 10th. As soon as the boat Is launched the varsity crew will be put into her for work in a series of trials, and if she proves to be the smooth article' expected all hands at Davey's will be put to work on du- phcate for the varsity crew to take to New London with them. Harvard is, however, taking no chances, for the new paper shells have already been or dered from Waters.
 An expert in racing craft who saw the new boat said the lines from the midship section all the way aft are as full as a working boat, and to knock all racing craft dizzy she. has a square stern. She is fifty-eight feet over all, twenty-three inches beam, eight and one-half inches depth amidships, two and one-half inches depth at stern; camber of keel five inches. It is ex- pected that with a full crew the boat will draw about three and one-half inches of water amidships and the stern is so worked away that it will barely touch the water when the crew is not in action. The boat Is cigar shaped, andldiffers from the regulation shell from bow to midships by being fuller.
 The points that Messrs. Bryant and Watson wish to gain are apparent When a crew slides up for stroke, the stern of the shell settles deep and re- tards the. onward motion of the boat The Yale crews in past years have in a measure overcome this by slowing down the slide when on the full reach. There is no doubt about the new boat floating the crew prettily, but the square stern will be watched with great anxiety.
 The usual shells run to nothing at the stern, but this one is finishing up after the fashion of a yacht with an over hang. Here are few of the boats Three feet from the bow or stern she measures five and inches, ten feet from the bow she measures eleven and seven eighth inches, and thirteen feet from the bow the measurement is thirteen and one-half inches. Four feet two inches from the stern the measurement is fifteen and seven-eighth inches and ten feet from the stern ten and one fourth inches.
 The coxswain's seat is ten feet from the sternpost. The racing shell tapers on the gunwale from the midship sec ton, which is usually from twenty-two to twenty-four inches wide to thrce- eighfhs of an inch at the sternposti but the Rainbow, when fioated, will look like practice barge, for she loses but thirteen inches from the midship sec ton to the stern.
 A drop rudder about four inches be- low the keel will probably be used. | With view to making changes in the nboard rigging, MT. Watson has or 1ered a set of Meaney seats and slides The tracks are to be shortened one inch rom the usual length. This means hat the coach will pay considerable at- ,ention to the power applied before the pins.

People of the Western Rivers
 From Harper's Weeklyl

bs
 From Harpers Weekly.l
 Shanty- ting is not necessarily in- born; individuals may drop into and out of it, as with other experiences. A workman in river Bank factory buys or builds shanty-boat because it is cheaper than paying rent; then, losing his job, he slips away on the current, seeking new work, and almost insensi- bly, sinks into the human drift, until perhaps an equally fortuitous event casts him ashore again; but more of ten, like the Romany, he has the in stinct in his blood, and the shanty- boat people spend their lives moving at ran- dom and by impulse, now driving along lashed to a tow pushed by some great snorting steamer, now floating on the current with a square of old sacking for a sail or a pair of sweeps to propel and guide, now beached by the falling river and left hidden far up in the cotton woods, like sleeping amphibians on the shore.
 For they are not always on the move; while essentially and necessarily in the main company of rovers, many of them, like the birds, migrate, if at all, only at certain seasons. The favorite time is the late winter, when the ice has disappeared and the highest floods are over, but the waters are still we'll up on the banks Then the boatman buys or begs a friendly tow up stream, or drops down with the current until, hav- ing found a landing to his taste, he pulls well up to the bank, blocks up under the outer 'Sunnel' to keep his craft level as the water falls, and grounds out" con tentedly for a shore residence of months or even years.
 His boat thus becomes not so much a means of navigation as a dwelling adapted to the peculiar conditions of his environment. As his abode is more fixed, he generally becomes a better citizen and a more substantial one, and with increasing means he surrounds himself by a flotilla where his land dwelling brother would add rooms or sheds to his building; chicken-eoop boats, wood-shed boats, out-house boats, gather around the main craft are moor ed to it when the river rises, and float away with it in the migrations.

The Folding Bed. From Harper's Weekly.


 The sea is not without it's hazards, but. after all, an ocean steamer is a safer place in which to repose ones self than folding bed. To be swallow ed up by the mighty sea is at least a dignified fate which great and good people have met in all ages, but there is no dignity at all, no decorum no eX- tenuating circumstances of any sort about being smothered in a folding bed. There is a tinge of contemptuousness in one's very pity for the victims of such a disaster. There is an excuse for be- ing in the upper berth of a sleeping car; the exigencies of travel explain that; but is there any good and valid excuse for heinz Cat home, or in one's own hired fiat) in a folding bed? Is the folding bed a legitimate contrivance? A cot is respectable; the simplest iron bedstead is perfectly decent; but the folding bed--is it not a subterfuge, a hypocrisy, an unairable pretence which honest people should blush to look upon, and scorn to be in?
 Perhaps it is not all these things. Perhaps cramped quarters justify it. Last month it killed the mother of a family in Brooklyn; it shuts up on folks often enough to make the folding bed accident item one of the most familiar in the newspapers; but it may have friends who have invested money in it, and like it, and are ready to explain that there is as much difference in fold ing beds as there is in the people who sleep in them, and that not all of them deserve to be condemned.
