on TO PORTO RICO.

Prompt action is now the word.
According to our press dispatches
Gen. Miles has already started for
Porto Rico with four batteries of
artillery and a body of regulars.
Two brigades at Charleston were
embarking for Porto Rico Tues
day, and two divisions from Chick
amauga and all the forces at
Tampa, $1,000 strong, will soon be
under way.
The force with Gen. Miles will
arrive first, and will no doubt be
strong enough to effect a landing
at some favorable point and hold
it. A body of $50 marines, with
out artillery, effected the first land
ing in Cuba, and held it.
The country will rejoice to see
this prompt action. Now that we
are ready the people wish to see
the war pushed as energetically as
possible. They do not care to see
our splendid troops rushed up
against the yellow fever in Havana
during the sickly season; but Por-
to Rico is believed to be compara-
lively healthy-even more so than
Santiago, which has not proven to
be so bad as might have been ex-
pected. With the ample forces on
the way landed, Porto Rico ought
to be ours within few weeks.

When the whole world turns over new
leaf, it seems timely to remind our readers
OF one habit which we can commend: IL
Is the reading OF The Boston Herald.
Some OF our patrons read The Daily Her
aid aud some OF them The Sunday Herald.
We would that all OF them read both The
Sunday aud The Daily Herald. This pre-
eminently great newspaper, the greatest
In New England, has made the greatest
record OF its record breaking career. In
every department it has made unmistak-
able advancement. 10 its makeup it meets
every requirement OF the reading public.
From the smallest item of local news to
the greatest events OF the day 1t omits
nothing, and yet in its great pages finds
room for stories, incidents and anecdotes,
which seems marvellous when one con-
sirers the demands upon its columns. The
Sunday herald Is greater and. broader
than ever before. and every page Is bright
ened by timely, well-drawn illustrations.
During the past year The Boston Herald
in its various editions has published near
ly 10000 Illustrations. Certainly the read
ing OF The Boston Herald is to be CON-
mended. Are you a Herald reader? IL
not, why not become one during 1893 7

A COIN WORTH $4,000.
nnipes Men own a piece of Money

Winnipeg Men Own n Piece of Money
Made 140 II. c.
Charles Lunn and j. j. Schragge, of
Winnipeg, are the possessors of rare
coin. Numismatists say that it is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000. The coin
is Jewish silver shekel worth in
trinsically about SO cents, and about
as large as an American or Canadian
half dollar. 1t appears to be very an
cient. On the one side is a representa-
ton of Aarons rod, with the words,
Jerusalem the Holy" in Hebrew char
acters and on the other pot of mama
and the inscription in the same charac-
ters, "Shekel Israel"
Above the pot of mama there is sup
posed to be sort of effulgence or scroll.
bearing in the middle Hebrew char
acter. Upon the presence Of this mark,
which experts can detect by heating
the coin, depends its genuineness. Ex-
coined by Simon Maccabeus, high priest
and ruler of the Jews, $40 B. c. He
was famous in Jewish history. The
coin was obtained by its present hold
crs from a person in whose possession
it had been for over 20 years. The pres
ent holders have each a half interest in
it. The coin is in safety deposit vault,
whence it can only be taken by the two
jointly. The Numismatic bank of Bos-
ton places the value of the piece at from
$4,000 to $4,000. The owners are now
waiting for replies from Great Britain.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.

Biscuits should be opened with the
fingers. In extreme cases an AK is ad-
missible.
Never pick your teeth at the table.
You will find better assortment at the
dentists.
Don't Iattle your knife and fork. The
napkin ring will be found much more
musical.
Always eat soup from the side of
your spoon. The inside is considered
the proper one.
Game should never be taken in the
fingers-unless of course it is a card
game.
Do not rest your arms on the table.
Stack all your weapons in corner be-
fore dinner.
Never leave the table until the others
are through. If in hurry take it with
you.
Never eat pie with knife. It's ali
right to eat cheese with pie, but knives
should be eaten alone.
Cigarette smoking is permissible at
the table-if you are dining alone and
have grudge against yourself.
Don't ask your hostess if she let's the
sugar bowl with the butter balls. She
might mistake you for humorist or a

"GREEN GILLS" UNSAlABLE.
Seaweed Crippies an important Vir-
ginia Industry.

seaweed Crippses an Important Vir-
ginia Industry.
A peculiar condition Of affairs pre-
walls down on Lynnhaven (Va.) bay,
where they raise the finest oysters in
the world. These bivalves are now af-
flicted with the green gills,'' as are
also those, or very nearly all OF those,
on the eastern shore, and numerous
other places. AS matter of fact,
green gills' is more terrible in name
than in effect, but it is spelling the sale
of the oysters. The high tides have
drifted seaweed in large quantities up
the rivers and creeks. Owing to recent
droughts there is not enough, water
flowing into the river to wash it out,
and the oysters feeding on it have be-
come green gilled." One firm which
has been shipping 25 or 80 barrels day
is now shipping none at all.
The people of Lynnhaven river and
bay are more or less dependent upon
their oyster beds, and this misfortune
has fallen heavily upon them Not
only is the source of revenue cut off,
but taxes on the beds still go on, and a
petition to the legislature asking to be
released from this taxation is being cir
culated.
