ated in the spring of 1898. Desiring |
a more complete education he went
10 Oskaloosa in the fall of the same |

Oysters Abroad.

Every year In Colchester. England.
they have an October feast of oysters
to celebrate the return of the season.
This has gone OH for so many years
that, while Colchester people do lot
claim the custom dates back to the
Roman occupation, 1t reaches very
nearly that far back in antiquity.
tn Romans liked oysters and knew
where to And the choicest No better
proof of this Is needed than the oyster
shells in the kitchep-m iddens in the
vicinity of old Roman remains in En-
gland, and even In Italy shells are
found bearing the special Characters
tics of the England oysters.
Such marvellous quantities of oysters
disappear at the Colchester oyster
feast that the question naturally sug-
gets itself, How many oysters would
q hungry man in good health have to
eat to feel satisfied" Brillat-sayarin,
the great French authority on dining,
tells the story that in 170S, exactly 100
years ago, he invited TO private oys-
ter feast a friend who had declared
that he had never been able to eat all
he wanted Of oysters. I'm an hour,
said Savarin, "the man had consumed
thirty-two dozen, and seemed then only
Ia full swing. 'Moncher, 1t is not your
fate | said, to eat your eli of oysters
to-day. Let us dine We did so, and
he made as heavy a meal as if he had
been fasting"
Probably that accounts for the fash
lon that once obtained Of beginning
every dinner with oysters, by way OF
giving the diners an appetite.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ana Grades.


1t is often mistake of young breed
ers to suppose that the fine appearing
grade stock which they have secured
by crossing pure bred animals with ma
tive stock will prove as good as it looks
when put to the test of breeding. This
in the nature of things cannot be the
case, says the Boston Cultivator. All
the excellencies of the pure bred stock
have been fixed in it by more or less
close breeding, or, in other words, breed
ing to nearly related stock. The prod
uce of this in and in breeding is quite
likely to be somewhat delicate in con-
stitutional vigor, and it requires that
there be bred several strains of the same
breed so as to perpetuate its excellences
in lines not too closely related. By
breeding two animals Of these different
strains together, enough new blood is
introduced to maintain the stamina OF
the breed and yet without lessening its
special value for the purposes for which
it has been bred. Crossing to wholly
unrelated stock produces a mongrel that
is more than likely to perpetuate the
worst qualities of both dam and sire if
carried beyond the first cross, which as
an individual may be better than Ell
ther. The grade males should always
be emasculated while young. The fe-
males may be kept as breeders if they
are always bred to pure bred males of
the same breed which produced the
grade.

Supporting the Az Had FALLEN!


Some years ago an inquisitive med
lotine in big waxworks exhibition in
London, took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal to hold him
In his. place would not be sufficient to
c0nfiIse a person who struggled.
HIS curiosity on that point led him
70 watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in, let
ting down the yoke He soon found,
however that he was quite unable to
lift it, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp ak sus ,ended over
his neck might not be firmly ixed, or it
would fall, as it should, with touch.
He was afraid TO struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and at
once deposit his head in the basket Of
sawdust below him, into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having staid some time in this
plight, he was overjoyed to hear the
approach of a visitor. whom he inn
plored to release him. 1t was In vain.
I'm thinking" said the gentleman,
Scottish visitor to the metropolis,
to his wife. ''that he must be hired to
show how the thing acts. and | think
we'd better not Interfere.
So the luckless student was left till
one of the attendants came In and
made fast the ak before releasing him
from hts predicament. The ak was
afterward removed and laid by the
side Of the structure to prevent future
accidents

Argentine Live stock.

A very elaborate series of statistics
with regard to the number of live stock
in the Argentine Republic has just been
issued, says the London Live Stock
Journal, which it may be of interest to
recapitulate. AS regards cattle, the
latest returns gave the total at 81,
roe, 048, as against 81, 961, 657 in 1888
(the date of the last census), so that
there would appear to have been de-
crease in numbers, though against this
has to be set the fact that the average
weight of the cattle is nearly double
what it was ten years ago. Horses are
estimated at a, 446, $50, as against
4,234, 0S2 in 1883, and of these A, 016,-
297 were draft horses, Ala, $50 of native
breeds and 10, 577 thoroughbreds. With
its A, 500, 900 horses the Argentine Re-
public comes next to Russia and the
United States, and has III horses to
every 100 inhabitants. The total for
sheep is "A, $40, 5o2, as against 60, 70o,-
097 in 1888, and the Argentine is only
exceeded by Australia with its 99,000,
900, having 1850 head for 100 inhab-
itants. The number of animals of other
kinds and of poultry is as under:
