FACTS ABOUT OYSTERS.
Spoken By Kings and Sung f

Spoken By Kings and Sung BY
Poets.
oysters. said Fuller. are the only
meat which men eat alive, and yet ac-
count 1t no cruelty. King James said
he was a very valiant man who first
ventured on eating oysters. The poet
Gay sung OF the first raw oyster eaten:
The man had sure a palate DER.
With brass, or steel. that on the rocky
shore
First broke the cozy oysters pearly
And rislsed the living morsel down his
throat.
Referring to the ~Pythagorean doc
trine of the transmigration of souls. ii
has been said that the soul is fettered
to the body like the oyster to It's shell.
The oyster Is possessed of mouth, stom-
ach and intestines for the purpose OF
taking and assimilatlng food A pins
head is the size OF an oyster n month
olo-a pea at three months old. At the
age of five years the oyster is in its
prime It's average duration OF life Is
ten years. The age OF an oyster can
be told by the successive layers, or
plates overlapping each other on the
backs OF the shell, each OF which marks
a years growth. The star fish or devil
fish is the most serious foe he has. Oys-
ters in their natural beds produce myr-
lads of minute young ones. which swim
about by means of their "ciliated pads.
and If these young ones do not find
place to he attached they will be car
ried away by the waves and become
Frey to other creatures.
To enjoy an oyster. In Its full flavor,
1t must be eaten the moment it Is OPEN
ed with Its own gravy. in the under
shell. Many people try to keep their
oysters. in a live and healthy condition.
by putting them In vessels Of salt and
water. and putting In them oatmeal.
Salt water Is very different from sea
water. and on no account should oat-
meal. -four or any such dead stuff be
given them. which only makes the
water foul, and the oysters sick The
following receipt for the preparation OF
artificial sea water. which when oysters
are laid down in a large trough and
covered with the water, will continue
to live and thrive for months: For
ten gallons it requires sulphate OF
magnesia, ~ ounces; sulphate of lime.
2A ounces: common salt, Az ounces:
chloride of magnesia. 6 ounces; chic
ride of potash, ~ ounces; bromide OF
magnitesia. grains: carbonate of lime,
2 grains. 1t should stand exposed to
air. in strong sunlight for two weeks
before used. during which time few
plants of alva should be introduced to
throw off spores.

ARMIES OF THE NORTH.
The armies of the North had q large
proportion of men of alien birth. The
Confederates were almost entirely OF
American birth and OF line OF AmerI-
can ancestry. One reason why the
South to-day exerts such force in Con-
gress Is that she sends her best men
to the front. and they possess the her
itage of American descent" Shall Vir-
glnia, the two Carolinas and Georgia be
as indlstinct on the map OF the Union
as Alaskan Ice fields? Shame upon
such thought! 1t Is a disgrace to
American descent! Valley Forge and
yorktown could not hide 1t.
The Southerners will never blot out
Slate lines, nor let them fade under the
sun OF the South!
Give us back the ties of Yorktown,
Perish all the modern hates!
Let us stand together, brothers,
In defiance of the fates;
For the safety of the Union
Is the safety of the States"

"OH, THE SHAMROCK"
4


The Irish soldiers OF the Queen re-
joiced that upon st. Patricks Day they,
as Il distinction, wore a sprig of sham
rock to commemorate their gallantry
during the recent battles in South
Africa
As Thomas Moore is not so much
read now as he used to be it may not be
out of place to remind the English and
Scotch readers that this triple grass"
was claimed by Valor, Love and Wit.
as appears from one of the Irish meio-
dies:
Says valor: "see,
They spring for me,
Those leafy gems of mornng!"
Says Love: mo. no.
For me they grow.
My fragrant path adorning!"
But Wit perceives
The triple leaves,
And cries: "Oh! do not sever =
a type that blends
Three god-like friends.
Love. Valor, Wit. forever!"
The last three lines contain a splen-
did allegory. which far outshines every
thing else that has been written on
the green. immortal shamrock"
