-Ine best oyster experts that know

Iue besr oyster experts that know of, " said the captain of an oyster boat,
 judge an oyster by the smell ,.instead of by the taste. There is something about the smell of any oyster that indi- cates its condition to me much plainer than does the taste. People buy them and eat them probably on account of their taste. So also do they buy tea, coffee and the various grades of whisky and brandy for their taste, but all ex- perts on those things pass upon them entirely by their smell. The professional tea taster or whisky taster, so called, never tastes them, but simply arrives at their taste by their peculiarities of fa- vor. or. to speak plainly. smell.
 ''I can tell what price a load of oys- ters will be rated at when they arrive at the wharf here by opening up the hold of the boat and smelling. In eight cases out of ten I am right. It strikes oyster men as strange when they see persons going about from boat to boat, as they lie at the wharf, tasting oysters before they conclude to buy. Taste is all right, but if they don't smell right they will never taste right '-Washington Star.
