Urging the use of oysters as food, an
exchange says: Speaking roughly,
quart of oysters contains, on the aver
age, about the same quantity of actual
nutritive substance as quart of milk,
or a pound of very lean beef, or a
pound and half of fresh Goldfish, or
two-thirds of pound of bread. But
while the weight of actual nutriment
in the different quantities of food ma
terial named is widely different, that
of the very lean meat or Goldfish con-
sists mostly of what are called in chem
ical Language, protein compounds. or
flesh formersr-the substances which
make blood, muscle, tendon, bone,
brain and other nitrogenous tissues.
That of the bread contains but little OF
these, and consists chiefly of starch,
with little fat and other compounds,
which serve the body as fuel and SUI
ply it with heat and muscular power.
The nutritive sui sance of oysters con-
tains considerable of both the flesh
forming and the more especially heat
and force giving ingredients.

A Rare Instance OF Refusing the Con-
ferred Title or Nobility.
It'll common thing in Europe for
kings and queens to reward such of
their subjects as may become famous
in war; ntpotitic==, or in literature, by
,.lsRMEowing titles upon them. Occason-
ally however, says the Golden Days,
this honor is refused, but the instances
are so rare that when they do occur
they are always thought worthy of

Krupp, the inventor of the
cannon, at whose mandatory
lhteen Thousand men are regularly

fore, but his son had succeeded to his
business, and the young mans name
was placed by the emperor upon the
role of honor.
When he heard OF this, he at once
took train to Berlin and secured an
audience of Prince Bismarck, who was
then chancellor. He insisted that the
prince should ask the emperor to strike
his name from the list, but this Bis
marck refused to do. Then. the iron
master made q special plea.

Several years ago. when Judge
Francis j. Reinhard, the well-lsnown
German lawyer Of indianapolis, was a
young but enthusiastic attorney
practicing at Crown Point says the
indianapolis Sentinel, he was called in
to defend man charged with cireu-
lating counterfeit money. He talked
with the accused several times in Jail
and became impressed with the idea
that the man was honest and was
literally being outraged by the
authorities. Mr.. Reinhard entered
into the case with characteristic earn
estness and prepared himself thorough
ly to make the defense. When the
case came TO preliminary hearing the
lawyer made a terrific fight and se-
cured the discharge of his client Out
side the courtroom, after the trial. the
client buttonholed Lawyer Reinhard
and, leading him into an alley out of
sight of the gaping crowd, paid him
his fee with ten silver dollars Then
with tears in his eyes he thanked the
lawyer and went his way. Mr.. Rein

How q Scientific Gent Was Deapoiled OF
Five Thousand Dollars.
One of the most curious expeditions
ever planned by man was that once
undertaken by DR.. ]. G. Bunting, of
Portland, says the Lewiston (Me.)
journal. During all his life he had
been close student of the philosophy
of digestion, and for the purpose ofhis
investigations he had that remarkable
Canadian, Alexis st. Martin, in his
care for twenty years. In order to
clinch matters and provide facts for
some of the doubling Thomases DIR.
Bunting cast about for some one else
upon whom he might continue to ex-
pertinent.
He could think of but one plan, and
that was to go into Africa, buy two
slaves, and operate upon their stom-
achs. BY opening the body near the
fifth rib and perforating the stomach
condition could be produced similar
to that existing in the person of st.
Martin. Therefore the doctor pur-
chased his supplies and sailed across
to Tunis in the north of Africa. There
he hired native chief with forty of
his followers, paying them q liberal
retaining fee and promising them al
Turing largess when the trip should be
ended. They set forth. The doctor
carried one thousand pounds in his in
side pocket, and the chief probably lay
awake four nights thinking about the
matter.
at any rate, on the fifth night he
snealScd into the doctors tent and de-
livered q little address over the muz-
zles of two pistols When he had con-
cluded the doctor passed over his
,lucats and the chief passed over the
border along with his renegade band.
rhey helped themselves to such sup
plies as suited their artless and unen-
lightcncd tastes. The doctor camc
back without a retinue and with deal
of experience that will never appear
in q medical work.
A pathetic incident occurred in the
waits school in Pittsburgh q few
weeks ago. One of the teachers
brought beautiful red rose to schooN
which, holding up before the scholars,
she asked: ''Now children, how many

every little one shook his head,
to indicate ignorance. One small
boy and couple of little girls
piped out. with great Importance;
''Its posie, please, ma'am.
But no one had ever heard Of rose.
Most Of the children had never seen
one before. The teacher put it in q
glass of water to preserve it, and when
school was dismissed each child was
rendered supremely blissful by the
gift of tiny pedal. AS they filed out
of the door, each little waif clutched
his treasure tightly in his small hand,
while he murmured softly to himself

The Piano Tuner.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

The Boston Conservatory of Music has
established a school for piano tuning. and a
young woman of this town Is taking a
course. This comprises book study up to a
point, followed by practical work in a
factory. This young woman is going to be
a missionary, and in missionarying the
piano takes an important part. She wants
to be able to tune her own piano. Some
women. she says, do study piano tuning as
a livelihood. A first-class piano tuner can
tune not over four pianos a day. For
these he gets from 81 to So a day. After ten
years every piano tuner, it is said, is a
crank. These statistics refer to men:
women have not been in the business long
enough. The explanation OF this peryerSion
is the incessant strain on the nerves.
The piano tuner is a man who has not
learned from books. He has grown up with
the piano in a factory. and knows it at
every stage. His ear is attuned to those fine
differences that are essential to the best
sort of piano tuning, and his appreciation
of them is like an instinct. To catch these
he is always on the alert. Every sound
distracts him-a car bells t,nkle, a child's
cry. This constant wear and tear engen-
ders nervous irritability. he becomes a
bundle of nerves, and the distance from
thence to crankiness is not far. 1t is this
strain on the nerves that makes the mus
cular strength required that makes piano
tuning a doubtful occupation for women.
The muscular strength required in holding
up the strings is considerable. but women
could endure Il better than the strain on
the nerves. Piano tuners. moreover, have
to be mechanics. The tuner must treat the
cracking pedal and remedy all its diseases
that do not require hospital treatment at
the shop. This his previous experiences
enables the man piano tuner to do.
