these oysters may have been fattened
The dsh commission combats th
popular prejudice against green
oysters. notwithstanding that al
most every recent writer upon tn
subject has insisted upon the harm
fulncss Of the green col0ration wlicl
is frequently observed in certain
portions of the oyster, there Is still
considerable misapprehcnsion OF tn,
subject by consumers and Oystermer
alike. The prejudice is confined u
America, in Europe such oysters being
considered superior to all Others, and
much trouble being taken to impart
20 them their peculiar viridity. In
our waters the grccning is liable to
occur in certain localities and ut
irregular times. Rather shallow
waters appear to be more susceptible
to the production of this effect than
the greater depths, but it has recently
appeared in the deep water beds OF
Long Island sound"
When oysters become % c0lored,
Oystermcn find great difficulty In dis
posing OF them, owing to the popular
belief that they are unit for food, or
even poisonous. They often have
what is called Il coppcry taste, and un.
Informed persons assume that the
green color Is due to the presence Of
copper. A number OF careful investi-
cations show that such oysters con
tain no copper whatever, but that the
green color is derived from Il harmless
bluc-green substance, phyco-cynnin,
which is fOand in certain Of the lower
plants.
Under proper conditions, these
vegetable organisms multiply IN
brackish or saline water with great
rapidity, and provide m important
item OF food for the oyster. The green
matter is soluble in the juices OF the
oyster, and passes into the tissues,
affecting principally the blood corpus
clcs. An oyster usually shows the
first indication OF "greening" in the
gills and palps. but when the supply
Of greenihg food is long and abundant
the whole organism, with the exccp-
ton Of the muclcs, acquires IA deep
green hue. Such oysters are usually,
but not always, fat and well fed, the
result Of the abundance Of nutritious
food, and such Il condition could hard
ly obtain were the dye "A copper pro-
duct, as has been generally supposed.
The color may be removed from the
oysters by transferring them for Il
time to waters in which the green
food is deficient.
In a concluding paragraph, devoted
to the transportation OF oysters, an
instance is cited where marketable
oysters survived for over ten weeks
while hung up in the window OF a
shop, during December, January and
February. 1t is suggested that in
transporting oysters perfect shells
should be selected, and they should be
with the front edge downward, |
and kept moderately cool, in Il crate
some receptacle which allows Il free
Of air. Selected oysters
thus packed would keep from eight to
twelve weeks.

FOUND 1T OUT AT LAST.

New Orleans Item.
A majority Of the good citizens OF
this community have been convinced
from the beginning of the ~so-called
epidemic, which the board Of health
yesterday found out at last did not
longer prevail, that, whatever the
character of the fever, which, to such
Il limited extent "atiicted' US, il was
not yellow fever, or, II it was, then
its modification in results had reached
such Il stage as to no longer class it
among either the dangerous or deadly
diseases which distress and destroy
the human family.
Nor was this alone the opinion OF
laymcn. Experienced physicians,
skilled in the treatment Of yellow
fever and familiar with it from con
tact and practice in more than one
epidemic, agree In the main with
popular belief. In fact, it has been
and Is this opinion OF the skilled
and experienced medicO which has
strengthened and fortified public sent.
iment in this city in the firm convict
ion that the fever which prevailed was
not yellow fever such as we are famil.
lar with, and the result of its seventy
eight days with us is sufficient to
justify that conclusion.
The board Of health discovered SO
late as yesterday that, at least, the
local public could no longer be faxed
with their attempt To create Il pesti.
lcnce out OF this beggarly fever, with
its paucity OF cases and its insignih-
cant death roll. AS the Item has had
occasion to observe, it requires only u
plain and u%nvarnished statement of
the whole situation to confirm all we
have said about the fraud, called an
epidemic OF yellow fever, with which
we declined to be made Il party.
The population OF this city approx.
mates BOO, 900. Or this number, ut
least 0nc-third are subjects for yellow
fever, and yet only 1876 had the pre-.
vailing disease and but 2Sl OF that
number died. And this Is the mole
hill called a mountain, and which, on.
ly yesterday. the board OF health dis.
covered was no longer worthy OF at.
tcntion-a belated discovery indeed,
for the great mass OF New Orleans
people who did not run away were
convinced of that fact from the very
beginning.

Most women make the mistake when
they are having dress fitted of wear
ing new corsets. A Psrisian dress
maker or frst-class tailor will never
fit over d new corset if there is a particle
of starch in it. Why? Simply because
a corset that is starched keeps its
shape on account of the stiffening af-
fcrded by the starch, which after few
wearings lessons. and such shapehness
as the corset had leaves it, with the
result that the bodice which was fitted
over it has at the end of a few times
wearing a different figure to fit. Not
being automatically adjustable, the
waist bags and wrinkles in places, and
the dreSsm aker gets the blame for poor
fttipg.-Wonan's Home Companion.

She is quite ambitious, and decidedly

It was while in New York, just before

that time Miss McLean's tastes had led
her in literary and classic paths, but she
had no definite aim in her preparation.
