French Oyster Gatherers.

The work Of oyster collecting and
culture is most unsuitable for women
but in France, owing to its tedious ma
ture, it does not appeal to men. Often
from an early hour in the morning till
late into the evening the women are
standing up to the knees in water,
with strong sun beating down on
them. The result is that never a year
passes without some of them going
mad and having to be hurried away to
the asylums. The work is well paid,
as, indeed, It ought to be, while in the
case of the few who own beds the
profits are large, and small fortunes
are quickly amassed.

BUYING The WIND.



to Superstitious Mariners
In the old days of. sailing ships 1t
was a common thing for sea captain
to buy the wind for his voyage,
though, strangely enough. the only peo-
pie supposed to deal In it were the
Icelanders. When a constant success

had persistently followed ship for
more than one cruise, it was not at all
unusual for the skipper of big wind
TANNER to pay visit to Iceland for
The sole purpose Of purchasing wind
enough to last him on his next voyage
or two.
In every port in Iceland one or more
wind wizards" were to be found, who
were ready to sell favorable wind for
the next six months or year to any
sea captain willing to invest In some
thing he could not see. The sailor, bav-
ing found his way to the magicians
house, first proceeded to spread out
upon the floor the articles offered in
payment for the wind-tallow candles.
cloth. beads, knives, powder and lead.
After good deal of haggling and
many times adding to or taking away
from the little pile Of merchandise be-
tween them the price was finally
agreed upon, and the captain passed
over his handkerchief to the Icelander.
The wind merchant muttered certain
words into it, tying a knot In the hand
kerchief at the end of each incanta-
ton. This was done to keep the magic
words from evaporating. When a GER
tain number of knots had been tied.
the handkerchief was returned to its
owner, with strict charge to keep it
knotted and guard it with extraordi-
nary care until he arrived at the de-
sired port, and at each port knot was

One old captain had been so bothered
with head winds that be kept crying
out to the Icelander to tie another knot
in the handkerchief and another and
another, so as to be sure of plenty Of

there was no room for any more knots
and three knives and thirty candles
had been added to the heap on the
floor. But when the wind greedy cap

ever increasing in fury, until she
plunged along under bare poles, with
her nose deep in the brine and tons Of
water washing her decks. Darker and
darker grew the sky, and higher and
higher rose the racing, foam crested
waves, hammering the laboring vessel
with ceaseless blows until her seams

kind that comes by chance.-New York

The Younu Idea.

'THow many seed compartments are
there in an apple?" he asked. No one
answered And yet" continued the
school inspector, "all of you eat many
an apple in the course of a year and
see the fruit every day, probably. You
must learn to notice the little things
in nature"
The talk of the inspector impressed
the children, and at recess the teach
er overheard them discussing it. A
little girl. getting her companions
around her, gravely said:
Now, children. just suppose l am

POTATO scAB.
some Suggestions for the Treatment
of the Disease.

The true potato scab is skin dis
ease, and develops from germ. A
picture of scabby seed is shown. There
will be no scab on the crop unless
these germs are either in the soil
when the crop is planted or on the
seed. Prevention therefore depends
upon two things. We should avoid
planting in soil where the germs are
found. If this is impossible we should
handle the soil so that the germs
will not be active. 1t seems to be
settled that sulphur acts to destroy
the germs. Some potato growers in
places where scab is bad put sulphur
in the hill or drill. When potato
planters are used the sulphur is mixed
in the hopper and dropped with the
seed into the furrow. 1t helps destroy
the scab and prevents the seed pieces
from rotting, especially in a damp
season. The scab germs develop best
in an alkaline soil. Lime, wood ashes
and manure are all alkaline, and will
usually cause trouble when the soil
is known to be well supplied with the
germs When a green crop Is plowed
under the soil is soured more or less,
and this condition is best for scabby
