following method: About the beginning
OF the seventh century Roman knight,
Sergius Orata, undertook the artificial
breeding of oysters in Lake Lucrie.
The enterprise was successful. and its
author in short time became very
rich. The following method is still en-
ployed in that region, and we may pre-
sumo that it is practically the same as
that invented by Sergius. Upon the
blackish mud are constructed here and
there rockeries of rough stones. thrown
into heaps sufficiently elevated to be
protected from deposits OF mud or
slime. Each rockery is surrounded by
circle of stakes. The stakes are
united by a cord passing from one to
another, to which are suspended be-
tween each two stakes a small, bundle
of twigs floating in the water at q
short distance from the bottom. When
the fishing season arrives the stakes
and bundles Of fagots are taken up.
those oysters are used which are suit
able for market, and then the stakes
are replaced. The discovery of few
very interesting ancient Roman pic
lures of the industry indicates that this
method was used SO long ago as the
days of Augustus.-Calyin Dill Wilson,

price for the lads" prefaced, perhaps
by few lines Of descriptive matter re-
markable only for inaccuracies. Thus,
these ''enterprising Journals" secure
double pay for their space, while the
home seeker, if he wishes to learn any
thing Of a section in which he may be
interested will write to the local papers
for sample copies, which are always
cheerfully furnished.
Write-ups in foreign journals very Sell
dom accomplish anything, for their
publishers have no interest in the sue
cess of the section further than to Sc
cure all the money they can from 1t.
With the home paper it is different. 1t
is known that it's interests are in the
community in which it is published. 1t
will prosper if it's home prospers, and
the descriptive matter published in its
columns can be accepted as nearly ac-
curate. Realizing this the home seeker
looks to the local papers for information
While he regards the paid Write-upS in

If it is true, as is now reported, that
the Greek invaders of Turkish terri
tory are backed by officers of the Greek
Government, and that the invasion is
really a part of the plan of Greece to
bring on war, then the Grecian nation
has done a scurvy trick. While all our
sympathy is with Greece, we cannot
permit that sentiment to blind us to
goes to war it must do so openly and
without deceit. If Greece has really
sent in the invaders while disclaiming
responsibility for their acts, she has
done a vulgarly mean thing. Of course
it does not change the situation regard
ing right a particle. Macedonia ought
to be redeemed from Turkish rule. 1t
belongs of right to Greece. That is to
say, it is Greek in sentiment, tradition
and lineage of the mass of the people. 1t

unquestionably prefer to cast it's lot
with Greece if given choice. But Mace
donia should be taken from the Turk
according to the ethics of civilized war

justice to hold the unspeakable Turk

MISERABLE OBJECTING.

This journal was never guilty of
sneering at, or rebuking any President
of the United States for using the Dol
phin," or any other small boat Of the
Government, in which to take a few
days run upon salt water. We see no
impropriety in such use. The Presi-
dent is Commander-in-Ch of the
Army and the Navy. Why then may
he not use such boats to transport
him?
The dignity of his position demands
that he shall travel decently and well
when he does travel, that he shall
the greatest of republics at all times
and to these ends why may he not use
such arms of the service of either Army
CT Navy as are at his command, so
long as he neglects no official duty and
runs the country into no extraordinary
expense.
The people greatly prefer that the
President shall run away from the
horde Of office-seekers and the weary
ing round of three -times-a- week hand
shaking receptions, than that he shall
work himself sick and be rendered ner-
yous and i'll by the pressure of official
duty. We want a clear headed, phys
ically sound and robust man in the
Presidential chair, and not a tied-down
worn clerk, who cannot even take a
half holiday without consent.
No sooner did Mr. Mckinley propose
to run to fresh air and salty breezes
for two days rest and building than
small souls and jealous wits along with
partisan slaves and echoes began to
sneer, and to ask why the President
should leave his post, why he should
put the people TO expense to furnish
him free transportation on a Govern
ment six-bynine yacht? Even so
generally just and gentlemanly a pa
per as the New York Post" has ad-
mitted some of these snarleyows to its
columns
These miserable criticisms have eei-
IDENTIFY angered President Mckinley, and
he has accordingly paid his share of
the expense Of a short trip Of rest on
the Dolphin and it amounts to the
enormous sum of S24 What a pitiful
spectacle it is, to be sure, to see the
Chief Magistrate of the country sub
jected to such insults as these sneers
and pitiful objections amount to. The
chief regret is, however. that President
Mckinley should have beeen moved by
them to pay for use of the Dolphin in
any part whatever. The United States
is not in'the business of renting out her
boats, or their cabins, or their lard
ers. When the President wishes to
transport himself anywhere, either for
need ed rest or on duty. he ought to
take any dispatch boat that is handy.

MAKING HISTORICAL RECORDS.

Western Grand Army men some time
ago arranged to employ historians to
prepare a school history of the United
States that shall be satisfactory to the
men who fought in the army of the
Union in the war of the rebellion. A
good many of these old soldiers hold
that the histories of the United States
used in schools of the South falsify his
tory by an excusative tone and by
evasive treatment.
On the other hand, Southern men have
claimed that it would be insulting to
their manhood to permit histories to go
into the hands of their children in which
they are denounced as traitors. treason
able conspirators, and the like.
No doubt there have been wrong and
undue heat on both sides in this school
history matter. Old soldiers in the
North section have, perhaps, insisted
too strongly upon detailed recital, while
after-the-war patriots have been over
enthusiastic in demanding that South

The Sutter Lyceum.

Eds. Record Union: Assured of
your friendly interest in any movement
that tends to promote the moral and
intellectual welfare of the young men
Of this city, l take pleasure in COM
mending the Suffer Lyceum to the at
tentioh of our business men who have
sons of their own and other fathers
sons in their employ.
This lyeeum was organized about
three months ago by fifteen or twenty
young men, who We're animated by the
laudable purpose of mutual improve
ment by weekly debates, recttations
and musical exercises They came to-
gether from the store, the law office
and the shop. To the end that they
might derive the greater benefit from
their weekly proceedings, they have
each week invited a gentleman outside
the club to act as a critic. not only of
their debates but of the entire pro-
gramme, and have made special re-
quests that the critic would tell them
plainly of their faults and errors, and
make any suggestions shat he thought
might help them in future.
There can be no question but that
such a ailyceum has a high educational
value. To its helpful influence III the
past many men in public life
to-day can bear cordial and grateful
Testimony.
In the discussion of live topics which
are engaging the attention of the peo-
pie, subjects Of political economy, civil
government, philanthropy and reform,
and in the study and practice of par
liamentary rules, these young men are
taking right steps toward becoming
true American citizens. They even
have good opportunity to improve
upon the examples set them in some Of
our State Legislatures, not to say the
National House Of Representatives
itself.
/ would bespeak for the young men
in the Sutter Lyceum the cordial favor
and friendly aid of cur merchants, law
yers, physicians, public school teachers
and ministers. Let fathers and moth
ers who have the best interests Of their
sons at heart, and employers-many Of
whose younger clerks are living away
from their own homes, and who need
all the more the helps and aids toward
manly and useful ives-give their en-
couragement and lend a hand" to this
excellent movement.
And when a committee from the ly-
ceum calls upon you to come and say a
word at their meeting or to act as a
critic accept the invitation so cordially
as to make the young men feel that you
regard it as a genuine pleasure no less
than a citizens duty.
Depend upon it, we shall have wiser
and better municipal government, purer
manners and higher social life If We
do our part in fostering such organiza-
tions as this Very truly yours,

What. the farmers of the good old
Bay State! the land of steady habits
and high moral planes? The farmers of
Massachusetts, crowned with the mem
ories of Plymouth Rock and the Pill
grims? Can it be that these men of
communities we have been taught to
look upon as exemplars, have been
cheating the State? But here we have
it from first authority, that commit
tee of the Legislature of the Bay State
is conducting an inquiry into the NOR
ais of Massachusetts, farmers, on the
charge or suspicion, that a good num-
ber of them have been milking dis
eaSed COWS all winter, and then report
ing them for condemnation as afflicted
with tuberculosis and having them
killed, whereby they receive high COM
pensation in money of the land drawn
from the strong box of the Common
wealth, with which they may buy new
mich COWS. We do not wish to be-
lleve this story; but it is true that the
neighbors of the farmers have gone so
far as to erect a committee to investi-
gate the matter. For the honor Of old
Massachusetts, let us hope that the re-
port will exonerate the accused and do
it on a firm basis of truth.
