When the yellow flag of quarantine
Is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is saIlow

trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depepd
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If YOU are

FASHION IN INSTRUMENTS.
Beautiful Irish Harps to Be the Vogue


This Season.
There is a fashion in musical instru.
ments so far as the English young wom-
an is concerned which compels changes
as sudden and sweeping as those which
take place in.regard to the same young
women's bonnets and hats. Of course
all of them who have pretensions to be-
ing considered what is vaguely termed
musical reckon among their accom-
plishments the ability to play the
piano, and they do not disdain to de-
vote the surplus of their musical ability
to instruments of a more portable kind.
For a time it was the banjo. then the
mandolin, then, taking flight upward,
the violin itself was degraded into the
position of fashionable" instrument,
dividing its claims with the violoncello.
We are said to be now on the eve of
another change. According to Music,
the instrument which is to be in vogue
this winter is the Irish harp, which
many young women belonging to the
very smartest society are said to be al
ready industriously practicing. 1t is
not the large and rather unwieldy thing
we are wont to see in the street orches-
tras, but beautifully finished and dec
GRATED little instrument, some 80 inch
es in height, and about the weight of
banjo. 1t IS, in fact, the article which
the minstrel boy slung behind him
when, with his fathers sword girded
on, he set forth on that bellicose expe-
dition of which the ballads tell us.
The tone of the Irish harp is said to be
particularly sweet, though little thin.

THE GIDDY OYSTER.
Its Home Now Sold to Road Makers
and Gas Works,

The waters of Maryland produce one
third of the total oyster supply of the
world. 1t yields twice as many of these
luscious bivalves as are grown in all for
eign countries combined. During the
present century it has put on the mar
ket 400, ,0O0,0 900 bushels of the toothsome
mollusks. These have sold for the
enormous sum of S25O,OOO,OOO. Almost
all of this country is dependent for the
abundance and cheapness of this edible
on the supply of the Chesapeake. From
here also come very nearly all of the
oysters used for canning. In fact, the
output of this industry in Maryland is
equal to one-sixth of all the fisheries of
the United States put together.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century has been reckoned at
100000 tons. Until lately the can
ming firms have had much trouble in
getting rid of the shells, having to pay,
in fact, for the removal of all they could
not give away. Recently, however,
they have been able to sell them. They

of It Is Beautiful.
There are two jewellers in Chinatown,
but their establishments do not re-
semble the ordinary places known as
jewelry shops, says the New York
Times. The Chinese jeweler is a man
nfactnrcr as well as a shopkeeper. His
establishment is Il tiny room up one
or two flights of stairs. The room in
one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and coun-
ter near the window, where lie jeweler
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
over tiny fire in the window. All his
work is done by hand, and some of it is
beautiful. There are heavy silver
bracelets which open with q hinge
and fasten with an odd little staple.
The fine raised pattern is cut out, every
bit of it, b. hand. There are gold rings
made in the same way. There are fine
rings, made of 24-carat gold. Almost
nothing is kept in stock. There may
chance to be few rings and bracelets,
which are taken from q small safe.
Most of the goods are made to order.
When the manufacturer is asked the
price of ring he weighs it before he
answers. His scales consist of slen-
der stick of ivory, perhaps third of
yard long, covered with Chinese char
acters. At one end is a small brass plate
suspended from the stick by fine
threads and very small weight, also
hanging by a thread. is moved along to
