Oyster Tax Income.

It now looks very much like the
tax imposed on the oyster industry
by the last Legislature will yield
about what was expected, according
TO Auditor Cole. It was predicted
that the State would receive about
100000 per annum from this source,
of which $4,000 was to be used for
the improvement of the oyster beds
under the direction of the oyster
commission, and the indications are
that this was not far wrong. The
season has just started and the treas
ury has already received $2,155.75
from this source. It has disbursed
81 ,O55, the same being for salaries
and the incidental expenses neces-

its respective name.
The club was organized with seven
teen charter members and has grown
: to number nearly i've hundred. The
membership is confined exclusively to
business women. Married women who
are in business are refused member
ship IL they do not work from neces-
sity. In case Of a wife supporting an
invalid husband or some similar con-
dition, this objection is waived.
While the Interior object of the club
is the broadening and bettering Of the
conditions surrounding young working
women. the organization fills an
immediate want in giving its members
an exclusive rendezvous for women
near their places Of business. But men
are by no means debarred from par
ticipating In the pleasures Of the or
ganization. as members are at liberty
to bring their men friends to luncheon
or dinner. And, of course. men are a
necessary evil' in the dances and
other public functions of the organiza-
ton. But the members do like to
boast that there Is not man employed
about the place.
In addition to the business meetings
OF the club. the women have sewing
and quilting bees. at which they pro-
vide bedding for the club. Then they
have athletic classes. Delsarte and
dancing lessons. One Of the things

The club is In a prosperous condition

dues are so reasonable that they debar
no one from Joining. The most dimcult
condition for would-be members to
meet lies in satisfying the member
ship committee regarding their creden-
tials. The strongest kind of references
have to be given, and these receive
vigilant scrutiny.
The active management Of the club

DIR. Hodge. the eminent naturalist,
carried a pet bird into several of the
sohoolrooms of the city Of Worcester,
Mass. The masters readily gave him
permission TO let the scholars see the
bird, while he talked to them about
birds. and the interest they would find
In watching them and studying their
ways. He contrasted such study with
whatever pleasure they derived from
stoning or shooting birds. I suppose
he touched on the business of taking
their eggs or their nests.
As q consequence Of such visits. it
proved that the next year he could
count up seventy birds Of different spe-

fore only thirty-six. The next year.
