Smith have his antagonist on his back

the winter are taken out of the shah
low water and anchored in deep
water. In May they are placed in the
shallower water of the park and get
their second coating of spats. The
next spring they are taken up and
taken ashore, the boughs are chopped
off into twigs about eight inches long
and the twigs are spliced into strands
of ropes. These ropes are then placed
in the parks attached to the corner
stakes, and swing and vibrate in the
currents so that the oyster escapes
the sediments, but gets his full
hare of the ever floating food. In
this second, year the oyster often
grows four times its original size
from March to October, although it
generally takes two and a half years
to produce Tarantine oyster of the
first grade. 1t is estimated that a
rope fourteen feet long will rear
about 1000 oysters.

IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Scouts Killing Mountain Lions Who
Become Too Aggressive.

There is strong regulation regard
ing the absolute letting alone of wild
things in the park. It is a proper in
tention to let nature take is course.
but still when the superintendent
clearly sees that band of mountain
lions will surely eat up all the noun
tain sheep in very short time it be-
comes necessary for the Aforesaid Of
fetal to thwart the law of the noun
tain; also when big grizzly gets to
mixing up socially VI tn the tourists
Captain Brown has I'd step in in favor
of the latter. though Fam not sure of
the wisdom of this.
When these contingencies arise the
two scouts Whitaker and Morrison
grid themselves with rifle and ski and
proceed to equalize things, during
which these two young men have
some very exciting experiences. Last
winter they killed five mountain lions
at one time. So far this year Whit
taker has bagged three, and is still
hunting. As he has written: 81 had
a very narrow escape with these three
mountain lions. / was trailing tine

Just about twenty feet from him were
three more. When l fired they ran
away. Lieutenant Yates and myself
tracked the third one to cave in the
rocks. He jumped at us, and we shot
him in the air while he was springing
at us. He measured 7 feet inches"
This is the simple story OF the man
who did the thing. This is the way
the soldiers are working to keep the
Yellowstone Park for posterity. 1t is
a pity the lions can't be allowed to
live, but they are too expensive.
Now and then the death sentence
goes forth against some overconfident
grizzly-always with great reluctance.
When one has borne down the forth
fications of the hotel meat-houses time
and again, he, too, becomes aggressive
and his pelt comes in. 1t would be
better to trap these, however, and sell
them alive for the benefit of the park.

coon NIGHT, SWEETHEART.

In the dusk of the Swallowed garden
The listening flowers are still;
The wind is asleep in the meadows,
And softly croons the rill
A song of love and longing,
OF dreamland fair and bright.
And It seems to sigh, as it ripples by,
"Good night, sweetheart; good
night"
Wherever you fare tomorrow,
Whether by land or sea,
The stars watch over you, love,
AS they look down on me.
They will shine in the midnight
heaven
With the same unchanging light
We used to know in the long ago
Good night, sweetheart; good
night"
The clover-scent in the grasses
Is sweet as the breath of May,
In the hush of the silver starlight
All pain is lulled away,
And into the worlds great silence,
Like dove in airy fight,
This message true takes wing to you
Good night, sweetheart; good
night"

from Virginia, at Hampton and Rap
there have arrived in New Jersey and
Connecticut waters with cargoes of
three and four-year-old seed for which
higher price was paid than at any
time in the past fifteen years. Last
spring the prices of seed oysters were
from forty to sixty cents per bushel;
this spring they are from sixty-five to
ninety cents. The reason given is
that times are more prosperous and
people can afford to pay more, but
the real reason is found in the in
creased use of oysters.
There is a popular error that Ser
gius Orator, a wealthy citizen Of
ancient Rome, invented oyster cul-
ture. but the best evidence is that II
originated in the Tarantine gulf on
the southern coast Of Italy-that body
of water which separates the So
called "heel" of the peninsula from
the toe" laramie has been famous
for its fisheries as far back as there
are any records. At the head Of the
gulf is a bay called the Mare Piccolo
and there is the ancient home Of the
oyster. 1t is filed with small oyster
parks which are made by driving four
corner posts into the bottom Of the
bay and connecting them by net
work OF wire grass ropes. From these
ropes are suspended loose bundles Of
hazel, or goose boughs. called fascines.
The fascines gather the spat from the
oysters suspended on the ropes. The
spawning season is greatest be-
tween April and October. but expert
ments show that spawning occurs
during the whole year. In the early
spring the fascines prepared during
