The oriolnsl skeptlc.

Jonah" said his wife, you've been
away three days and three nights.
Give an account Of yourself. Where
have you been?'
1--WE been on a whaling trip" said
Jonah.
Don't tell me any fish stories. l
want the truth-the bitter TRUTH" his
wife said sternly.
That's right, my dear. 1 was swal-
lowed by a whale, and just have been
released after serving a three days
sentence"
II don't believe any such nonsense
Why should a whale swallow you?
You don't look good enough to eat"
81 can't help that; it's a fact. If you
had only been on hand with your X
rays you could have seen me in that
fishy prison"
Jonah, you weren't swallowed by
a whale. You've been out swallowing
things yourself, and you know it. That
will do. No more lies, please"
And then Jonah stopped talking, be-
cause he knew that Mrs. ]. wouldn't
believe his tale, even if she afterwsrd
read it in the Bible.

do not wish me to assert that 1 do not
believe what you say?'
Then may | ask you a few ques-
tions from a different standpoint"
With all my heart"
For what do you go to the bank
meetings?"
Because / am a director, and it is
necessary for me to look after its in
t%erests, so that l can make money
for o to spend"
"And why do you go to the lodge?"
Because I carry a heavy insurance
in the order, and it is needful for me
to see that it is managed properly, so
that if anything should happen to me,
you will be certain to get the insur-
ance."
"But-but the chamber Of com
merce doesn't help you to do anything
for me, does it?"
Il have a number Of investments,
the value Of which depends on the
amount of business done in the city,
and the chamber of commerce is for
the purpose of keeping business in a
good condition. OF course. l assist in
looking after things. so that my in
come will be larger"
And the really, truly reason for
your being out so many evenings is
that l may have more money!"
This is the really. truly reason"
Then o do love me as much as
you used TOT"
Certainly"
20, you dear, good, bad. cold, warm
hearted, old hubby, youl To think
that l was the first cause for your
being out so many evenings. and l
didn't know it! I'm going to put my
arms right around your neck and give
you a dozen kisses. There. now! You
do love ne know you do. Oh, l am
so happy"

The daily press, as / look It it,
is a wonderful detective. Il can run
down public opinion and report it mar
velously. In tbs respect 1t has an
Overwhelming outlook. AS 8 news
gatherer, its facilities perpetually as
tonish me. The weapon Of publicity it
often Yields with undoubted power.
But, when all is said, 1t is much more
than a gigantic reporter? Does 1t real
ly instruct and guide? Or does 1t sim
ply furnish by the myriad page the
stun out of which the people CON
struet their own independent iudg-
ment? confess that newspapers
seem to me more and more to exem-
plify Gladstone's definition Of the ora
tor-they receive from the public as
mist what they give back as shower"

The Rev. Donald Sage Mackay. at
the dinner of the SILK Association of
America the other night. told a story
of a Scotch couple who lived in a con-
slant state of pickering. One night
the minister called and found them
qu~arreling as usual. In front Of the
fireplace lay a cat and a dog peace
fully sleeping.
You should be ashamed Of your
selves" he cried, Indignantly; "even
the dumb animals rebuke you"

CULTURE OF THE OYSTER.

After many years of persistent effort
science seems to have conquered TIE
art of p~ropagating %artifcially the do
licious oyster. What part of the mon
ey usually coined from propagating
trusts has been diverted into this use
full channel is not known, but certain
ly New Jersey deserves praise for the
innovation.
Professor julius Nelson. biologist for
the State Bureau Of Shell Fisheries,
which has only been in existence a
few months, has worked out a method
Of producing and propagating oyster
germs or seeds, and the process seems
to be quite simple as well as very in
teresting.
After preparing a sufficient quanti-
ty of spermatized water, a few min
utes suffice to complete the fertiliza-
tion. The water is then drawn on
and put into clear water, the opera
ton being repeated several times. The
zone occupied by the eggs Is Don see
and in about an hour, at a temperature
of eighty degrees, the development of
the eggs begins.
In a few hours the eggs have so de-
Veloped that they show positive signs
Of life, and then they are let into a
tank, covered with sand, and exposed
to every high tide. Thus, step by step,
through processes known to fish hatch
ers, a young oyster bed Is formed,
which may be extended indefinitely.
One bucketful Of spawn, 1t Is said,
would supply all the material a man
could use for extensive planting, and
If Professor Nelson can turn the tide
Of New Jersey enterprise so as to
raise oysters artiicially instead OF
trusts, he will have done the world
a great service.-Boston Globe.

About a week after l arrived in
Porto Rico said he. 81 took a trip
along the beautiful military road from
San Juan into the interior of the
island. The tropical vegetation was
luxurlant and my attention was drawn
most particularly to some tall trees
with slender stems and towering
stalks that grew along the read in
the greatest profusion.
What kind Of trees are those?' l
asked an army man who accompanied
me.
Those are royal palms
"'And why do you call them royal
palms9'
Wei you see, all the rest Of the
trees down here are good for some
thing, but as these just stand around
and look pretty, and are otherwise
absolutely useless, the title royal
seems to fit 'em exactly. New

AL Sheehan was departing from the
theater after a matinee during a spell
when the streets were q glare of ice,
with occasional patches of sand to
Keep n from slipping, and the wind
was blowing keenly. At the corner of
Boylston and fremont streets a man
ahead Of him miscalculated the quality
Of the istful of sand that had been
put over the ice and came to the
sidewalk with a crash, and his, hat
few off into the gutter. AS he regain
ed his shattered equilibrium and his
jolted dignity, evidently not being a
Bostonian, he exclaimed:
This is the blankety-blank-blankes
spot on this blankety-blank town,

Two women just from the theater
were ahead Of Mr.. Sheehan, and he
was undecided whether to demonstrate
with the profane man or chuckle at
the righteousness Of the affair, when
n of the ladies. reaching the same
spot, nearly came to grief, a wild
clutch at her companion being the
only thing to save her from a bad
toss. Then she said, slowly:

I met the ragged coat beside the chancel
rail,
The stained n hardened fingers clasped
in prayer,
And cheeks that seemed as pallid as the
taper frail-
The spirit called and God was there.
And then I heard the laughter Of a little
child,
A suniit glimpse Of golden. tumbled
hair,
The plunging of a frightened steed, a
mother shrieking wildi
The danger past, and God was there.
I saw the lantern CLEAN above the mis-
sion door,
The little band of Christians by the
stair,
The weeping one who knelt upon the
mission floor
A soul awoke, and God was there.
