Persons who are disposed to grumble
at the length of time required to finish
public buildings should take heart
from the example of the Cathedral of
st. Peter, in Cologne. That structure
was go years in building. 1t was be-
gun in 1249 and was pronounced COM
pleted in 1880. The great Cathedral
Of Milan was begun in 1886 and was
not completed until 1905, 419 years lat
err. Rostermel castle, in Cornwall, took
ninety years to build, and one-third
of that time was employed in eXcavat-
ing for the foundation. The late Lord
Butte was engaged for over twenty
years in building his great palace in
the isle of Butte, and his successor is
still at work on it. The palace of the
Dukes of Atholl, in Scotland, has been
building since 1880, and the work Is
still going on. In the cases of the 9TH
er buildings mentioned, however, the
money for their construction did not
come entirely out of the pockets OF the
taxpayers, which, after all, makes a
considerable difference as to the mat
ter of looking at it.

Snnils.

The popularity of the snail as an ar
ticle of food is not confined to Paris,
but extends throughout southern Eu-
rope and some parts of Africa. DR..
Edrard, a French writer, in pam
phlet says that 10000 pounds of snails
are sent daily to Paris from the gar
dens Of Poitou, Burgundy, Champagne
and Provence. Those reared in gar
dens are fed on aromatic herbs to i'm
prove their flavor. Their market price
Is from francs 80 centimes to francs
30 centimes a hundred, while those
from the hedges, woods and forests
bring only 2 francs to francs 80
centimes. The proprietor of one snail
cry in the vicinity of Dion nets over
1000 francs annually.
The snail is reared and fattened with
great care in some cantons of Swift
zerland as an article of luxury and is
exported in picked state. 1t is also
eaten as a relish and nutritious article
Of food in Austria, Spain, Italy and in
some sections of the United States.
The Ashantees and other African
tribes smoke them and eat them as
daily food all the year around. In
Algeria in the markets large heaps of
snais are sold by the bushel and the
hundred as an article of food. Vendors
hawk them in the streets Of Cairo. In
modern Rome fresh gathered snails
are hawked by women from door to

Barnegat, N. j., July 22.-The people
who live along the shores of Barnegat
bay are almost entirely dependent fol
a livelihood upon the oyster industry
which is now menaced by the drum
fish. So grave is the danger that the
New Jersey state oyster commission
and the authorities of the various
towns adjacent to the bay have begun
a systematic warfare against the de
stroyers that have descended in myri
ads upon the oyster beds, or lots, as
they are called hereabout, devastating
all before them.
In recent years the oystermen Of this
section have expended many hundred
thousand dollars on seed oysters
which have been planted all over the
bay, and until now they have had q
plentiful yield. Last year the scouts OF
the drumfish discovered that there was
good feeding here, and this year they
have come by the millions. The fish
are from three to five feet long, and
each manages to get away with from
twenty to thirty oysters at a sitting. A
school of drums will settle down over
a lot of, say, hundred acres that has
been carefully planted and reseeded
for years. When the school rises from
the lot, there is not an oyster left to
tell the tale of the visitation. They
make clean sweep.
The average drumfsh weighs from
100 to $50 pounds. Two hundred and
even 800 Founders are by no means I'm.
usual. When they feed, they sink to
the bottom of the bay and seek nice
hard bed Of oysters, clans or mussels.
The drum is a sinister and repulsiye
fish. With it's horrible mouth, small,
wicked looking eyes and the Shiny,
lead colored appearance of its head
and shoulders it might without any
great stretch of the imagination, b
taken for the tabled sea serpent which
we are told disports itself in the bill
lows along the Jersey coast.
Despite its responsiveness and vicious
character the flesh of the fish is good
to eat
Until last year the bay where the
oystermen have their beds had beer
comparatively free from drumfish
Last spring they began to appear il
serious numbers. One or two bic
schools came in and apparently looked
the place over and then went to sec
again to tell all the other drumfish il
creation what a good thing Barnega
would be for them this year. So will
the arrival of spring and the growth o.
the young seed oyster the fish began t.
arrive in great quantities.

the drumfsh by setting gill nets simi

q Sheehan made contract with DR..
Webb and Mr.. Clement to build
railroad bed across from Burlington to
Alburgh. across the islands of Lake Cham
plain. The contract was ratified by the
dill ectors of the Rutland railroad and
two allied companies, the Rutland Cana
dian company and the Lake Champlain
transportation company.
After the work had proceeded several
months large gang OF the employees of
the Rutland railroad company, at the
instigation, it was alleged, of President
Clement, torcibly seized the entire plant
of O'Brien & Shtehan, including steam
shovels, engines, derricks and other valu-
able machinery, the whole valued by the
owners at over halfa million dollars, and
themselves pushed the work to compile
ton. The suit OF O'Brien & Sheehan
was to recover for the damage done to
their road building plant while it was
being operated by the Rutland railroads
employees and also tor part of the money
due them on the original contract.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Every virtue attained in the Christian
life is stepping stone to higher virtue;
the Christian is always ascending.
All substantial physical life reaches ma
turity by gradual growth, though even
the germ may be perfect as a germ.
Christian character goes toward pertec-
ton in the same way.
All progress that is not toward God is
growing to decay.
SELECTIONS.
Il d
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies,
And we mount to its summit round by round.
God never means that his disciples
shall take backward step. If we cease
to advance, it is in spite of God. None
of the disappointment Heterogeneous,
failures, or circumstances that life holds
for us are meant to be setbacks. Every
thing, absolutely everything, that God
sends into our lives is sent to bel p us
onward. All of Gods providences are
stepping-stones.
Soul of mine,
Wouldst thou choose for life a motto half
divine?
Let this by thy guard and guide,
Through the future reaching wide,
Whether good or i'll betide,
Rise higher.
A little child stood on the floor of
great cathedral, looking up at the dome,
one hundred and fifty feet above him.
He saw men and women walking around
the gallery just inside the dome, and
wondered how they could have got up
there. But his father opened a door,
and he saw a flight of stone steps. He
went up the steps one at time, until,
before he realized what he was doing, he,
too, stood within the great dome and
looked on the marble floor beneath. So
it is we climb to heaven, a step at time.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Blessed Saviour, ever nearer
Nothing but leaves.
Nearer, my God to thee.
More love to thee, o Christ.
More of Jesus.
AS lives the flower within the seed.

YEAR-OLD BOY.

take its place. One firm caught 175
fish in four days, but the schools that
settled on its lots grew to be greater
than ever before.
1t soon became apparent that this
method was entirely insufficient to
stay the impending ruin. Then the
oyster commission and the local au-
thorities decided to try more heroic
remedy The plan nor is to drive the
drumfiSh into a narrow channel called
the inlet and then, after combining them
with huge nets, to destroy them with
dynamite. Thousands of dollars will
be expended in this work. The labor
will be of the most arduous and dam
gerous character. This operation will
be continued until the oyster destroy
ers are completely scared away from
Barnegat bay or the breed is entirely
eXterminated 1t is fight to the finish
between the oystermen and the drums,
for should the latter continue their
devastating work for three or -four
years there would be an end of the
oyster business in this section. The
public is with the oystermen in the
fight for a selfish if for no other rea,
son, since considerable portion of the
delectable bivalves which please the
public palate comes from Barnegat
