Green Oysters.

In Europe green. oysters, called
groenbarden or marennes, are espe-
cially priced, and to meet the de-
mand oysters are greened by placing
them as soon as captured in sea wa
ter. where they are kept for months
and fed on species of seaweed
which imparts the coloring matter
TO the gills.
From carefully conducted lnvesti-
cations it appears that in some cases
green oysters owe their color TO the
presence of copper. Such oysters
are not generally considered desir-
able as food.
Green oysters containing copper
differ in appearance from those ow-
ing their green tint to vegetable col
oring matter, being grass green and
not dark green in color and having
. verdigris-like slimy secretion on
the folds of the mantle. 1t is said
that after the addition Of vinegar 9
steel fork stuck into such oysters
becomes coated with copper and
tAat if ammonia is added the oyster,
become dark blue.-New York Sun

Less Year prepssaIs.

What woman has ever availed
Asrself of the privilege of proposing
n leap year? Nevertheless, it is
interesting to discover whence the
idea arose. "Her maist blessit mai
sstie Margaret" decreed in the year
1888 that during her reign every
maid of Scotland, whether Of high
or low degree, should speak to the
man she loved. If he were not be-
trothed already he must marry the
maid or pay flo0. Queen Margaret
died, and the women were then
clamorous for this strange privilege
to continue. To appease them an
act of parliament was passed allow
ing the maidens to make their pro-
posals every fourth year.--London

Suicide Weather.

George Kennan's article on 'sThe Prob lems of Suicide in spite of it's gruesome title, is a collection of extraordinary sta- tistics which are full of interesting sug- gestions. MT. Kennan finds that the clear, dry days show the greatest num- Der of suicides, and the wet, partly cloudy days the least; and with differ ences too great to be attributed to acci- dent or chance. In fact, as a rule, the tendency to suicide, throughout the civ ilized world, is greatest in the pleasantest season of the year; that it Is everywhere greatest in the pleasantest month of the pleasantest season; and that in New York City it is greatest on the dearest and sunniest days of the pleasantest month. From the point of view of science, therefore, it is perfectly reason able and absolutely accurate to say on a beautiful, sunny day in early June, This is regular suicide weather
 When, however, investigators began to study the subject in the light of ac- curate statistics. when they grouped su- cides by months and compared one month with another, they were surprised to find that the tendency to suicide was greatest, not in the gloomy and depress- ing months of November and December. but in the bright and cheerful month of June. In 1898 Dr. Oscar Geek, of Stras- burg published statistics of about 100000
 
 suicides that took place in Prussia in the 20-year period between 1876 and 1896. They showed that, so far at least as Prussia was concerned, suicides invaria- bly, attained their maximum in June and their minimum in December. There was a constant rise in the suicide curve from January to the end of June, and a con- stant decline from June to the end of the first winter month.
 Durkheim of Paris, and Dr. Gubsi<i, of St. Petersburg, who are among the most recent investigators of the subject, assert that, so far as the seasonal distri- button of suicides is concerned, the fig ures for Prussia hold good throughout Europe. June is everywhere the suicide month and December is everywhere the month in which self-destruction is least frequent
 The article gives satisfies showing how war, religion and occupation influence suicide.

BAUGH NOTIFIED
 THAT DIRECTORS
 MEET THURSDAY

R. H. Baugh, president of the local base ball association, and director in the Southern league, was notified yesterday that he would be expected at directors meeting in Memphis. June 1s-next Thurs day,
 At this directors meeting, inquiry will be made into the charges that are said to have been made by Otis stoclxdale, former Memphis pitcher, against Manager Babb of Memphis, These charges, which 1t is said that Stockdale made were to the eff feet that Babb, for financial reasons. re- fused to win the pennant last season.
 From what can be learned, the directors will have nothing but rumor to act upon.
 It Is learned that Manager Babb en- deavored to have Walter Taylor sporting editor of the Atlanta Journal, make af- fidavt to the effect that Stoekdale made the statements which were alleged by the Journal that he made.
 It Is said that Taylor refused
 In this case, before action can be taken, 1t will be necessary to have Taylor on hand. It is learned that the directors have signified a willingness sthat he attend, but have said nothing about paying his ex- penses
 No official action can be taken on newspaper report.
 It begins to appear as if someone IS getting a whole lot of advertisement out of the controversy, and that this will be the only result of the matter.

Bryan, the democrats of Utah, in state convention today did not forget the most recent democratic President of the United States. The chairman was in structed to mall this letter to Grover Cleveland.
