SEASON BACKWARD.
Difficult to Determine What Oyster Set
 WAL Be.

W1Il Be.
 Bridgeport, Aug. 11.-Just what the oyster "set" will be this year Is difi- cult of determination at present for the very good reason that the oysters have not spawned yet. The oyster planters, who keep very close tabs on the pro- gress of their crops, much the same as the land farmer does on his, state that the season is backward and that. they are still dumping material on their grounds for the reception of the "spat."
 There Is plenty of time for the spawning before the open season be- gins, September 20, but the older the "set" gets before that date the more hardy 1t Is likely to be. At best the 'set" is not very tenacious of life and it is usually planted as soon after be- ing taken out of the water as possible as better results are thus obtained.
 Many of the natural growthers," i" who take the set off the natural beds, particularly the great Bridgeport kJlAAlLO1Q .pCub HlctNC 5OtAClH ft4ACAL tackle in shape for the coming season, spruced up their boats, but in new lines where necessary and otherwise refurnished their outfits so as to be ready when the season opens to get all they can out of the set, if it proves to be a good one
 The weather so far has been ideal for good set and if 1t continues hot and stormless there will be good pros- poets of fine set. Only some unfor- seen untoward circumstance can pre- vent a good set. A heavy storm with a strong land swell which will pound | the shore and disturb the sand in such a way as to smother the oysters or the set would be disastrous, JAS the tobacco farmer anxiously watches black clouds and thunder storms, fear. ing hail, so does the natural growth. err look with fearful eye upon any kind of indication of a heavy storm which will stir up the waters of tht Sound.

Men Like to Be appreciated.

There never yet lived man, dul! or
brilliant, failure or success, who did
not appreciate the fiattery of having a
girl with him who is giving the crowd
the impression that she is having a tip
top time. II somehow SAYS to the
world that your partner is most attract
i've; that you couldn't be dull when
you are with him.
Men, young and old, are chiIdlike in

The Boy Who Will Be In Demand.

One Of the finest qualities in a work.
man is his quality. One Of the rarest
in servant in the house is the doing
of things tbatneed to be done without
being told. Young men working their
way through college are invaluable if
they have this quality. A tool is left
out on the lawn; there is rail off the
fence; there is lock broken from the
door; there is a window pane gone
somewhere, The boys who attend to
these things because they need attend
ing to without specific directions is the
boy who, other things being equal, is
going to be in demand when he gets
out into the great world, and it is the
attention to little things and the habit
of observation, which sees what needs
to be done and then does it, which
makes exceedingly useful men and wo-
men. There will always be position
for such persons. There will always
be a call to come higher. 1t is in one
sense small thing to do these little
things without orders but it is the do
ing of them that makes great captains,
great engineers, great artists, great ar
Chitects, great workers in any depar t.
ment, and it is the absenceof this quail.
ity that makes commonplace men and
women, who will always have to live
under the dominion Of petty orders,
men and women who dc nothing I'M
less they are told to do it. 1t is this
quality which makes volunteers in
church work, and the invaluable men
and women who do not have to stood
over. They are the Joy of the pastors
heart; they are the ones who do MOI
have to be watched.

Necessities.

There can be no doubt about the fact
that necessities are going up Havana
cigars are much higher than they were
Good whisky ls dearer
The price of champaign apparently
remains the same, but this is only ap.
parent. The corkage is more, tha tips
are more, aud anything that goes with
it is much higher than it was.
High living has almost doubled. II
costs twice as much to 60 ON even the
simplest bat as it did. An ordinary
filtration, leading to nothing at all, has
increased nearly so per cent. in cost.
Speculation is higher than it was. II
is getting beyond the means of all ex-
cept ulti-millionaires to gamble in
Wall street.
Divorces are higher. Even the COM
monest kind of divorce is more than
the average man can afford.
Appendicitis which at first was
possible to people in moderate circum-
tances-is now something we can only
dream of.
Hothouse violets and grapes, other
mems wives, desirable scrndalp, French
chauffeurs and in fact all necessities
recognized as such, will soon be out OF
the reach of all.
Indeed, if we keep on we shall soon
all be reduced to leading respectable
