crly speaking, every oyster gathered
out of salt water should be allowed to
drink for at least night-that IS,
he must be thrown into fresh-Water
tank How an oyster drinks" science
has never yet explained, and the oys-
termen themselves do not know. But
it is undeniable that he does drink"
and extensively in proportion to his
size for the oyster that has been given
this bath has totally different flavor
from one which has not, the slightly
acrid, pungent taste being replaced by
a sweet, fresh one.
Bareled and sent by fast freight or
express as BELTS an oyster of the upper
class, these fashionable oysters are
shipped direct to the market in New
York, or dispatched out West by rail.
These are the aristocrats of the trade.
The oysters one sees arriving in open
oyster boats at the foot of Perry street
"a wonderful display. indeed-are the
hoi polloi of oysterdom. 1t is only the
oysters on which society has set her
seal of approval that travel in the way
described above.
Once in New York the fashionable
oyster is basketed again, or perhaps
interior of one of the boats" the float
ing houses on the North River, where
buyers and sellers come together, is a
strange scene. On low stools expert
oyster handlers sit, sorting, opening for
the Western trade, for points to the
South and North Besides this there
is the question of export, this trade
having grown beyond all anticipations.
Between September 1st and March
1st an average of 1000 barrels week
is exported to Liverpool, the chief port
of receipt. At times much greater
quantities go over. Last March, re-
example, saw $4,000 barrels exported
These oysters are transplanted in Eng
lish waters, grow well there, and sell
for a good price.
There are some interesting bivalve
facts that we who eat these shellfish
should know briefly. First of all, the
price has dropped enormously in the
past fifteen years. Nowadays oysters
cost, roughly, about a third of a cent
each. Fifteen years ago their price
was not far from 3 cents apiece. Then
the Treble x Saddle Rocks cost $50
thousand, the Xxx $50. and the x
S22.50 Now Box oysters (thesc titles
corresponding to the old bring only SlO
the thousand. Half Shells &c. and
Culleens $3.50. 1t is only the planters
of the oyster that is fashionable that
continue to make money.
Blue Points is still name to conjure
with. But Blue Points no longer signi-
fies a definite locality, as it did years
ago. Any oyster of the south shore
of Long Island is a Blue Point these
days, and this oyster is bit out Of date.
OF recent years the Southern oyster
has come into use, especially during the
summer months. Maryland and Vir-
ginia furnish the most famous.
A great business has sprung up in
the oyster trade, of scooping them out
of the mud and mire by steam dredges.
But this method does not concern the
present writing. No oyster hoisted to
the surface by steam could ever figure
in society as an Oyster de Luxe

HOW MIRRORS ARE MADE.

The mirror-making industry in the
United States employs more than q
600 persons, and the product is valued
at about $S,000,000 a year. Tue first
step in the manufacture Is the ad.
justment OF smooth stone table.
Around this table, which can be can't
ed to one side by the means of screw
set beneath, is a groove, in which
mercury may flow from one corner into
bowls. The table is made perfectly
level; then tinfoll is carefully laid over
il, covering greater space than the
glass to be coated. The metal is then
poured upon the foil till it is nearly a
quarter of an inch deep, being pre-
vented from flowing off by strips of
glass placed along three sides OF the
foil. From the open side is slid on the
plate Of glass, whose advancing edge
is kept in the mercury SO that no air,
floating oxide Of the metal or other
impurities can work in between the
glass and the clean surface Of the
mercury. When its desired position
has been reached it Is held until one
edge OF the table has been raised and
the superhuous mercury has run of.
1t Is left for several hours and then
placed upon a frame, the "back" by
this time being covered with the
amalgam, which adhercs to it. After
the amalgam becomes hard the plate
is ready for use. Mirr0r-makiDg Is
generally thought to he dangerous, on
account OF the injury to the health OF
the operators from the fumes OF the
quicksilver, but the figures collatcd
by the insurance companies do not ap.
pear to sustain this belief.

Up to June 30, 1898, the government
had expended s26l0,92l in printing
the official records of the Union and
Confederate armies, and it is estimat-
ed Public Printer Palmer that before
the work is completed the total ex-
penditure will probably exceed $1,000
600. This is 81 ,OOO,O more than the
total amount appropriated by Con-
gress for the erection Of a new print
ing Office, work on which will begin IN
a few days. The work is probably the
most stupenduus publication ever at
tempted, the series comprising ~
volumes, averaging 1000 pages eacn,
aud tile final edition will be i 2so' soo
sepcratc volumes. The ilrst CODY was
sent to the public printer Aug -
1850. and IL is doubtful II the work
Will be entirely completed BY the same
date next year.
