have been studying carefully all phases

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

The law French term "vendue," colloq-
tally pronounced ''vahndoo," is still used
in ordinary speech by country folk in
many parts Of the United States, though
it is now very seldom seen in print tho
word 'sale." or auction" having taken
its place. 1t is noticeable that young per-
sons use the more modern terms, and the
old word is likely to soon disappear from
the mouths of the people.

the other day as senior officer of the Naval

years, and he had been unemployed just
four years. Several men much below him
in rank have far exceeded his sea service

have been as short a time unemployed
One gets a notion of the possbiliti es of
oyster culture from tho calculation of o
German student, who believes that an
oyster egg has only II, l45 000th of q chance
to reach maturity when exposed to natural
conditions. A pinch of sand may destroy
the tiny life of the young oyster, and the
possibility of bringing to maturity larger
proportion Of the eggs lies in the ability Of
the oyster planter to modify natural con.
ditions SO as to protect the puny oyster
from the dangers that surround it.

in the same year that the mark first APP
peared in the ledger of the firm. Many
private account books of the period still
kept the records in pounds, shillings and
pence, and the dollar mark was scarce in
many such books even after the beginning
of she present century. OF course the
shilling still has vogue in the speech of the
shop in several parts of this country.
