dering what sort of an experience wa,
in store for them. In the center of the
big table there were grouped a half
dozen bottles Of sauces or condiments
There was a chair for each person. on
the back Of which there was bingham
apron. On the stove there was a biz
oyster steamer. large enough to hold
about forty oysters at a time. Each
one Of the party was directed to don
one OF the aprons, and each one was
assigned to perform some little duty
toward getting things ready. While
these minor preparations were being
iaughingly attended to, the host was
engaged in dragging in from the yard
big bag of oysters. the contents Of
which had, the day before, been revel-
ing In salt water on the Jersey coast.
A batch of these was thrown into the
steamer, and in a few minutes one
by one they opened their mouths. This
is sign that the merry bivalve is
cooked. and then they are lifted cut of
the steamer, the top shell knocked Off
and the oyster served on its lower shell
at once. The oyster must be eaten d.
rectly. Pepper and salt may be put
on them, but an oyster epicure allows
nothing of the kind to touch them.
He swallows them right from the shell
In their natural juices, and if the oysters
are fresh there is no daintier morsel
The bag of oysters disappeared quick

The order was obeyed and in a few
minutes the kitchen had resumed its
usual orderly appearance, even the cook
smiling approval on the work done.
Then adjournment was had to the
music room, where, after formal thanks
had been voted to the hostess, the re-
mainder of the evening was passed In
most enjoyable fashion.

time there are no more schools and
lectures. that the Volapuk language is
inferred forever. II it were so, one
would have some cause for saying that
it has become a dead language before
ever having been a living one. But
such is not the case.
Many French people at the present
day, who know no other language but
their own, are corresponding in VIOLA
puk with Americans, japanese, Rus
SLAMS and Turks. Its practical results
are sufficiently conclusive in the I'M
mense correspondence exchanged inter-
nationally The partisans Of Esperanto
may possibly obtain the same results.
But that only goes to prove that the
very principle of universal language
has rothing chimerical about 1t.

their nationality. Let any foreign snip
arrive outside a French port and the
captain see the inverted cone, he Will

In his study of the language Of sema-
phores and lighthouses he never aban-
dOned his own tongue. With Volapuk
and Esperanto matters are much the
same. A man may study both and be
fluent with both without dropping his
own natural language"
1t seems at present that Volapuk or
Esperanto may be utilized extensively
In commercial, scientific and other COM

Like all artificial universal languages
the roots of Esperanto are derived from
the best known of modern tongues
English, French and German-these Of
1ering the least difficulty to students.

ing the syllable IAN" has been adopt

substantive and obtain the word
love- in French amour, one has but
to add the letter Co." thus obtaining the
word "amo" This is an absolute rule
to obtain substantive from a given
root add the letter 20" Nothing is
easier
In similar manner, to obtain an ad-
5ective from a given root. one has but
to add an "a" instead of an Co." and
thus the word "amorous' lin French
"amoureux") becomes anna" in Esper-
anto. And this rule for forming adj
jectives has no exceptions. Add the
let "a" to the root and the adjective Is
formed.
Verbs are obtained in quite as easy
a fashion. The present tense demands
but the addition of two letters to the
root. AS" The past is formed by plac-
ing the letters lis" after the root, and
the future by the addition of "os."
These Examinations are invariable. The
present. past, future and other lenses
are always obtainable in the same easy
fashion by the addition of a couple of
letters to the root.
The grammar of the new language is
easy and almost as simple as the forma-
ton OF the vocabulary. There are very
few rules in the entire book of gram
mar. and what is most important, there
are no exceptions to any of the rules.
