the fair goddess. Fortune has rot yet
beckoned, may be disposed to conclude
that 1t is impossible to start business I'm
this age. There is something in that
1t Is, no doubt, infinitely more difficult to-
start new business Of any kind to-day
than it was. But it is only difference
In form, not in substance. 1t is infinitely
easier for a young practical man II ex-
perience to obtain an interest in existing
firms than it has ever been. The doors
have not closed upon ability; on the con-
trary, they swing easier upon their
hinges. Capital is not requisite. Family
influence, as before, passes for nothing
Real ability, the capacity for doing
things, never was so eagerly searched for
! as now, and never commanded such re-
wards.
The law which concentrates the lead

ness Of any kind can score an unusually
brilliant and permanent success which is

niarily interested in its results. 1t has:

Clock Made of Bread.

There exists at Milan, Italy, clock
which may Justly be said to be one
Of the most wonderful in the world.
This masterpiece of human ingenuity
is made entirely Of bread crumbs, and
has naturally a history.
About hundred years ago an ltal-
ian workman wished to try his hand
at making a clock, but had not the
means to buy the metal necessary for
the construction of the works, and was
at loss what to do.
Determined not to be beaten, he con-
ceiyed the ingenious idea OF saving
his bread crumbs from day to day,
and solidifying them with the aid OF
strong salts. At length, by these means,
he managed to obtain very hard mat
ter, which could not be dissolved IN
water, with which he constructed the
clock. 1t was a perfect one In every
way, a d is now one of the curiositles
of the capital OF Lombardy.-Chimes.

TO SHORTEN OYSTER SEASON.

A recent interview in the Dispatch
with one of the most prominent oys.
ter planters at West Point discloses
the fact that the planters are very
much concerned about the future
supply of seed oysters. They believe
that despite the promising reports of
a very favorable strike of seed oysters
In James river, that river can no
longer be depended upon for their
supply as it has in the past. They
complain that the oyster laws.
adequate as they may be, are openly
violated during the close season, and
are not enforced as they should be.
They believe the oyster navy to be
altogether incapable of coping with
the situation, in giving the great
natural seed beds that protection
which is absolutely necessary. The
Associated Oyster Planters of Vir-
ginia will petition the coming Leeis-
lature to amend the oyster laws SO as
to exclude the month of April from
the open season, making the season
from September 1st to March 3lst.
OYSTER EXPERIMENT FAILS.
The experiment for the propsga
ton of oysters in deep water under
taken last winter by +. w. Darling
and j. Q. Robinson, of Hampton, in
the vicinity of Back River and near
Iynnhaven bay, appears to have
been unsuccessful, say the newspaper
reports. "Not a single strike has
been made this season in the areas
planted. Oystermen consider this
conclusive, though as this has been
an unusually bad season, better
things may develop next year. Dar-
ling aud Robinson got special act
through the legislature giving them
a twenty-year lease of deep water
land for 12s cents the first five years,
25 cents the second five years and so
cents the next ten. The usual price
for ordinary rock is 81. A great deal
of money and labor has been ex-
pended on the experiment"
We do not view the matter in the
light, There has been no
strike of seed oysters anywhere this
year. Hundreds of thousands of
bushels of shells have been planted
in the tributaries of the bay and not
q young oyster has caught on them.
Each year for the past two or three,
seed have caught in abundance, but
80 far this year has proved total
failure.
