IMITATION OYSTERS IN PARIS.
A Perfect Counterfeit In Appearance, bat
the Taste Is Ear From Genuine.

the Taste Is Far From Genuine.
"Thc most singular thing l saw while
in Paris, said gentleman who has just
returned from Europe, was artificial oys-
terS. l don't mean what are called mock
uystcrS-thnt is, meat done up in a. patty
or Il pot piC-but the real bivalvc intended
to serve raw. And as far as looks 20 you
would say at a glance that they We're gCnu-
inc American oysters, bus when you came
to eat one che difference would be percepti-
BILE at once. How they are made and what
materials are used III their manufacture arc
a mystery which did not solve, but il is
certain that great deal Of money is made
by the producers. The usual price paid
for these artificial oysters lie cents each,
or 80 cents a dozen, and sometimes, in
the second class restaurants, they are to
be had for . cents each, though they are
not apt to be very fresh at that price. You
order Il plate on the half she'll, and when
the waiter brings them to you they lock
as nice as the real oyster that you get in
the best New York oyster house. II You
are not good judge of oysters, you will
cat them with your wine and go away
without asking any questions.
THE only really genuine thing about
them is the shells. The manufacturers,
l was sold, buy secondhand shells from
the restaurant keepers at a small expense,
and with q harmless and tastelcss paste
fasten the spurious oyster in its place.
Only one-half a she'll is used for the pur-
pose, and in that shape the fraud oysters
are packed in tiers III boxes and baskets,
which are displayed in windows, on coun-
tiers or on shelves. Others, to be served
without the shells, are put up in cans or
in glass Jars, containing from % TO 100.
The limitations" are consumed in such
large quantities that the dealers in real
oysters are urging tho restaurant and no
tel keepers to break up their shells as fast
as their contents are eaten, and even pay
the cooks and walters literally to pound
them to pieces, so that the makers of the
artificial article will have limited supply
of shells. "-Exchange.

his recall have gotten him into con-

Spain. He attributed his dismissal

This charge of Weyler's was a tribute
