It appears that in the matter of
spreading typhoid, the oyster has been
unjustly maligned. Some experiments
carried out under the direction of the
British Royal society show that sea
water is iniu1ical to the growth Of the
typhoid bacilli. Bacilli were placed in
oysters, and, although their presence
was demonstrated in one case on the
twenty-frst day following. there stIll
appeared to be no initial or subsequent
multiplication OF the germs. As to
green oysters, the Investigators say
that some are wholesome and some are
not. The greenness in the former case
is due to the presence Of a harmless
vegetable pigment, with which, also,
there may be associated small guam
tfty Of an iron salt, but this has no
connection with the coloring matter.
In the other kind of green oysters the
color is due to a deleterious salt Of
copper. The epicure is therefore rec
commended not to eat green oysters IN
less he knows where they came from.

A SOUTHERN COURTROOM.

Some Amusing Impressions Gained BY
Lawyer John Callahan.
Lawyer John Callahan of Morristown,
who is spending part of the winter at
Asheville, North Carolina, for his health,
writes that he never felt better in his
life; has been climbing mountains for
exercise and interviewing lawyers for
pastime. Mr.. Callahan's impression Of
the profession in the South is, if not
favorable, certainly very amusing. His
observations in a courtroom are best
illustrated by the following extract from
letter received by local disciple of
Blackstone:
To-day attended court. The lawyers
here are uncouth-looking and poor dress
ers, but their speeches are very fiowery.
The court room Is very crude. A wooden
pail filled with water sets on the bench
beside the judge. A lawyer will take q
dipper of water, drink little Of it, and
throw the balance on the floor anywhere
The lawyers all chew tobacco and they
spit all over the floor; even the Judge
leans over the bench and squirts tobacco
juice out amongst the lawyers.
Inside the railing are placed some little
plain pine tables for desks, without paint
or varnish, and the lawyers spend their
time whiting the tables with pocket
knives. The tables are cut into all con-
ceivable shapes. But the autocrat Of the
whole outfit Is the the court crier, q
dirty looking fellow, with tobacco juice
running down both sides of his mouth.
The room is heated with two large
stoves placed inside the railing. Just as
regular as a lawyer grows eloquent
and this is often-the crier will take q
scuttle Of coal and fill the stove. Coun-
sci will stop until he gets through and
then go on again, without showing the
slightest annoyance. The judge will be-
gin to give ruling on some point, when
up will get the crier and rake the stove.
The Judge will wait until he is through
and start again. Everybody must wait
until the crier attends to the stove.
don't know when have seen anything
30 amusing. The lawyers refer to one
another as brother so and so.
An attorney was making a red-hot
speech this afternoon, when the judge
suddenly broke out with hal hal and
said: 0That reminds me of Brother
. He made about the same
proposition in case the other day." and
then went on to tell story on one of the
lawyers. When he finished everybody
in the courtroom laughed, and then the
attorney went on with his argument. ]
wonder Bill Nye never struck this place
He would have seen enough funny
things to write about for year.
