UnleEs the Bivalves Get a Greater Growth in
the Next Two Months the Crop Will Be Short.
From N, PhiLadsIDhia Led1sr.

UnIeSs the Bivalves Get a Greater Growth in
the Next Two Months the Crop Will BE Short.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The question of whether or not the sea-
sons oyster crop will be n good and abundant
one-a question of much interest and i'm
~portance alike to dealers and consumers-is
one that is surrounded by some uncer-
tainty. A Ledger reporter who went among
some large firms in the trade yesterday was
told that the crop may be an extra fine one or
a comparatively poor one. 1t will altogether de-
pend on how the oysters thrive during septem-
Der and October. This observation has ref
erence to the bivalves with which the Phila-
delphia trade is supplied.
Mr.. Rogers. OF a firm forty years in the bus
mess, and one OF the most extensive dealers In
this city. said: Unless the oysters get q
greater growth proportionately In the weeks
yet to come than they enjoyed during the sum-
mer; the crop vii viii 6 be below N the average @Gn;6 beth eth

| growing month for them. / returned recently
house is interested. twenty-five or thirty OF
them, In all parts Of the Delaware Bay, and
the beds may be said to have been promising
no dead oysters or anything OF that sort. but
what is the matter with them2 2" the re-
''"That Is something We cannot get at pre-
the excessively hot weather warming the
water, and either in that way or from some
other cause depriving the oysters Of the nutri-
ment on which they feed to the Disadvantage.
The matter is not accurately understood.
Sometimes, they take on an extra2rdinary
mer has been the reverse with them"
DO you think there Is still a fair prospect
for q good crop?' was the next question.
Yes. With the growth they now have there
is n fair prospect. I should say. at least an even
chance. OF the crop averaging UP next season.
In fact II has been within my observation that.
like the weather. oysters are likely TO average
up 10 a pretty well recognized standard"
How will prices rule the coming season 4"
quoried the reporter.
f"They will be mostly contingent upon how
the crop comes out, replied Mr.. Rogers; OF
than ifthey were more plentiful. but even with
an abundant crop prices for good. fat stock will
be well maintained. as they were last year.
| when, however. the oysters fell off somewhat
from the excellent promise they gave at the
opening OF the season."

THE HOTEL OF EXPLANATIONS.
A Summer Resort Whose Guests III Tell
the Same Story.

A summe Resort Whose Guests All Tell
the Same Story.
The tone OF the house is the highest. 1t
even has pretensions to q certain quiet fash
Condolences. OF its eXclusiveness anybody can
tell who applies for rooms and fails to mention
the name Of some former guest in good stand
ing. Such an omission sends the letter into
the waste basket along with similar docu-
ments that lack the credentials necessary
when one would enter this establishment
which has been perched in the hills OF Connec-
ticut for seventy years.
In the earlier days. when New York families
emigrated there with their children and SER
wants and remained to enjoy the plenty and
simplicity of its life until late in the autumn.
the customs at the old house were somewhat
different from those that prevail there to-day.
This difference is rather In the guests than In
the establishment itself. That Is still con-
trolled by the son of the man who first opened
1t to the world. He defers to the traditions OF
torty years ago and the standard he recognizes
is that established then. But the guests have
changed. One of the most striking features
of this change is a semi-apologetio strain
which makes itself heard in their conversation.
They used to be there as children. many OF
them. and they could not have learned that
tone from their parents. But it is interesting
to listen to 1t to-day.

DRINKS IN OTHER DAYS.

The earliest mention Of wine in the
Bible is a reference to Noah planting
a vineyard and getting drunk with
the wine. -.
The Roman lover, when drinking to
his lady, often drank as many cups Of
wine as there were letters il her lame
Warm water was sometimes regarded
Ivy the Romans as al agreeable drink,
the conclusion of the chief meal.
Famous among drinkers were the
Vikings, whose liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. QuGGlug ale from the
skulls of their enemies formed one
of the chief attractions of the prom
ised Valhalla.
The Egyptians, who have been I'M
gallant enough to leave behind them
delineations of the fair sex in u state
of intoXication, had several kinds of
wine more than 5000 years ago.in ad-
dition to a beer called hega, made from
barley.
A drink much in demand in the time
of Chaucer was bracket, made of the
wort of ale, honey and spices. By the
time of Edward w. drinking had be-
come so productive of crime kat few
places were allowed more than two
taverns. London had to be content
with 40. " 90.
The drinks of antiquity were some
times. to say the least, peculiar. The
Greeks and Romans, whose customary
drink was wine,' often mixed it with
sea water. Other ancient beverages
were honey and rainwater; honey,
salt water and vinegar. and a mixture
of honey and myrtle seed.
Under the Stuarts drunkenness was
at its height. Thirst ~provokers were
largely taken, and q mans claim to
distinction was largely due to his
bottle capacity, while ladies of the
court thought it no shame to become
inebriated. The three or five-bottle
man was an object of envy to his fell
lows.
