HOT SLASH.
A Delicary That Is Priced by New

only yesterday through chance visit

81 supposed he was addressing him
self to me. but before l could think up
some graceful and appropriate bit of
repartee at least dozen other strap

behind pile of barrels, where crap

alleyway.
"None of them had asked any ques-

Of the alley found the whole crowd,
with numerous additions, clustered
about small covered wagon from
which a mulatto was selling smoking
hot loaves of bread at a nickel apiece
AS each loaf was called for he split it
open and saturated the interior with
molasses from can in the vehicle.
That was hot slash. 1t seemed to be
a local substitute for the merchants
lunch. which appears about the same
hour in the retail district up town.
81 asked one of the darkies whether
it was good. and his reply, while word
less, was extremely eloquent. The
lower half Of his countenance was
buried in fresh section of hot slash
at the moment. and nothing was visi-

Something About These Aristocrats
of the Biva1ve Family.
A newborn oyster is a tiny fleck of
creamy substance, not much larger
than the point of a pin. Its advent in
countless numbers from the middle of
July to the middle of Angus: is to the
oysterman of Connecticut, where are
located probably the largest seed oyster
plants in the world. an event of the
utmost interest. Long Island sound
has some popularity Of thewater which
renders it especially favorable for the
raising of the choicest and most widely
sought oysters. Not only are here To-
Gated thousands of oyster plantations,
but also immense natural oyster beds.
And here and there only is raised the
famous Blue Point oyster. the most
delicately favored of its kind and in de-
mand the world over. f@ n.

A EnslEn's Marrow Escape.

When Commodore Decatur, in 1915,
dictated to the dey Of Alglers the terms
OF a treaty with the United States,
Lieut.. John Subrick was dispatched to
Washington with copy for the ap-
prevail Of our Government. The brig
Epervier was detailed for his transpor-
cation, and he was accompanied by
Captain Lewis and Lieutenant Neill
of the navy, who had married sisters
a few days before sailing with Com
modore Decatur for the Mediterranean,
and by Lieutenant Drury and Lieuten-
ant Yarnell, who had fought with
Perry in the battle of Lake Erie. Just
before the brig sailed Ensign Josiah
Tattnell, who was a watch officer on
the Epervier, succeeded in inducing an
officer on one of the other ships to ex-
change places with him, as he pre-
ferred to remain with the feet. A few
days Later, as the Epervier passed out
of the Straits Of Gibraltar, she sig
nailed Cali well on board" Since then
she has not been heard from. It Is an
interesting fact that Ensign Tattnell,
who escaped the fate Of his comrades,
lived to command the ram Merrimac OF
the confederate navy. Since the Eper-
\vier went down we have lost a mum.
