The oyster has just been the sub
feet of an elaborate communication to
the British Royal Society by Profes-
sor Herdman and Mr.. r. Boyce. They
say that they did not find the typhoid
bacillus in any oysters obtained from
the sea or market-that would only
have happened if they had got them
(which was not their purpose) from
tainted spot. But for experiment they
infected clean oysters with germs, and
the two principal results were emin-
emily satisfactory. One was that,
while the typhoid bacilli could be de-
tected in the body Of the infected oys.
ter for ten days, or even more, after
introduction, they showed no signs Of
increase, and in the intestine actually
perished. The other showed that by
washing infected oysters i9 stream
of clean sea water the typebid bacilli,
in from one to seven days, uniformly
and invariably either greatly dimin-
ished or totally disappeared. 1t is
clear, therefore, that sea water is hos.
tile to the development of these nox-
ious germs. OF the green'oysters, the
investigators say that some are per-
fectly wholesome, while others are not,
The reasan is sMpie one. The
greenness in the former case is due TO
the presence of a harmless vegetable
pigment. There may be also small
quantity of an iron salt associated with
it; but this has no connection with the
coloring matter. In the other kinds
Of green oysters the color is due to a
deleterious salt of copper. The epi-
cure, therefore, will do we'll not to eat
green oysters unless he knows where
they comb from.

der at the cheapness OF the hat and
speak of it in a way that would make
her silence equal to falsehood. She
had never told her mother an untruth.
Then she remembered how happily she
had tripped away to Miss Prim's yester-
day. 1t did not seem to her that she
could be the same little girl.
But Mrs. Thorne said less than
Nellie had expected. She was tired
and only kissed her pretty daughter.
"Why, Nell," she smiled, II don't

trimming than that. l think a good

With O sigh of relief Nellie took her
purchase to her room. That night she
dreamed again. Over and over she
thought Miss PRINTS niece had come
to see her and brought the gold dollar.
Her mother had seen it and said,
"Why, that is Nellie's gold dollar that
her Uncle Henry Thorne gave her. "
And then the little girl had said,
"No, it isn't; it's mine, that my Aunt
Hester Prim sent me on Easter"
When she was dressed in her pretty
new gown and ready to go to church
next morning she certainly looked
very sweet, though she was SO pale
that her mother said, "I'm afraid
you are not well, Nellie. The excite
ment has been too much for you.
Easter isn't only for pretty things, my
dear"
Flakes cold was no better, and
Mrs. Thorne did not go to church.
By and by she prepared dinner, think
ing Nellie would be home presently
and be hungry. Somewhat before she
expected her the door suddenly flew
open and the little girl burst into the
room. The new hat she flung on the
table, and rushing to her mother she
burst into q torrent of tears and
sobs.

Just as Miss Prim had said. She had
not thought of this before, and it was
of no use to think of itnow, for though
she had never been told not to spend
tho dollar, it was only because her
mother believed she would never even
dream of doing so.
But Nellie did dream of it, over and
over, and each time she woke with q
start and lay awake long time. She
was pale and silent next morning, and
when she set out for Miss Prim's the
money that her mother had given her
she carried in her little purse, while
deep down in her pocket was Uncle
Henry Thorne's gold dollar. She had
not fully decided yet that she was GO

where she kept it in little ring box

she got up that morning and the little
ring box had been pushed back under

to breakfast.

Easter morning in Washington sees
all the children marching to the
White House. 1t looks as if Kate

President. Each child has basket
of eggs. The south lawn is their des-
tination. Here is a slight hill. The

interest in the game, roll the eggs
down the hill. Mrs. Cleveland always

The Mohammcdan Easter.

Bairam is the name of the Moham-
medan Easter. 1t follows Ramadan,
which corresponds to Lent, and lasts
three days. During this time visits
are exchanged and presents made in
much the same spirit as that which
characterizes our Christmas. At Con.
stantinoplo the streets are thronged
and bands of music parade day and
night. The decorations of the boat:
in the ,Bosphorus are striking and
beautiful. The Sultan celebrates the
day by worshipping in the mosque, Of
ter which he gives an informal recep
tion to his friends in the palace O.
Dolma- -baktche. During this recep
ton the Sultan occupies throne o
great splendor placed in the midst o
the vast and beautifully decorated au
dience hall.

"Sit you down, Mrs. O'Brien," said
she, "and wait till 1 can get me

"And what's the matter with you,

Mrs. Finn, wiping her eyes. "a

Women show genius Of high order
whenever they attempt to explain the
causes Of the ills which afflict most Of
mankind. A woman, one of those in
tellectual, up-to-date women, who
would rather discuss the nebularhy-
pothesis and account for psychological
phenomena than cook or attend tc
wifely duties, has stated that the
colors of the dresses which women
wear are responsible for their nervous
complaints. Green, for instance, pro
duces indigestion, while ball gowns Of
the same color cause headaches; o
royal purple dress is sovereign rem
edy for sore threat; black, that dig
nided color which adorns most women
so gracefully and bewitchingly, is re.

of perhaps 100 persons were found in

At first Mrs. Thorne thought it best
not to do this, but after rejecting
few moments, decided that it would
be too severe on Nellie to make her

little Leghorn that Nellie had first
chosen. Nellie herself returned @

II you wake up Sunday morning when It's

And you hear the church bells Ginning

And hats Of every fashion, hue and ray.

FLOWERS IN OUR CHURCHES,
In No Other Country Are They Used 60
Such an Extent at Easter.

In No Other Country Are They Used Co
Such an Extent at Easter.
AS long as the high festival of Easter
has been celebrated the custom has
prevailed of removing all signs of
mourning from the church, relighting
the candles and unvelling the statues
and crosses. The use OF flowers as
decorations is much more recent GUS
tom. In England it is first mentioned
by writer in the Gentleman's Maya
zine in July, 1888, who conjectures
that "the flowers with which many
churches are ornamented on Easter
day are most probably intended as en-
blems of the resurrection, having just
risen from the earth in which during
the severity of the winter they seem
to have been buried"
In the early days Of this country
flowers were seldom seen as decora
tions, and it is only within the las
quarter of q century that they have
been used with reckless extravaganza
In fact, the first attempt to decorate
old Trinity Church in Ne York City
for Easter is still within the memory
of those living. A sweet smelling, in
offensive little bunch of blossoms, tha
had been carefully chosen. was placed
in the font on Easter morning. Blu
such Juror was raised by the mem
bers of the church against the innova
ton that it was thought best to re
move the intruder before the afternoon
service. To-day the church is always
decorated on Easter Sunday. In NJ
country in the orld are flowers use'
in such abundance at Easter as il

Easter In OIden Time.

Easter was at one time celebrated
by feasts and games held in the
churches. These at first were decor
Gus and useful in bringing the con-
gregations together in rejoicing after
the seven duties imposed upon them
during Lent. The custom was aban-
doned because of the excesses, which
became q scandal to the Church.

The ingenuity of the counterfeiters
now appears to be chiefly devoted to
the turning out of bogus copper and

large denominations. According to
