Bio Oysters.

Pliny mentions that, according to the
historians of AleXander's expedition,
oysters a foot in diameter were found
in the Indian seas. And Sir James
Tenant was unexpectedly enabled to
corroborate the correctness of this
statement for near Trincomai enor-
nous specimens of edible oysters were
brought before him. One of these was
found to measure more than eleven
inches in length by half as many in
width.
But this extraordinary measurement
is beaten by the oysters Of Port Lin
coin. South Australia, which are the
largest edible ones in the world They
are as large as dinner plate and of
much the same shape. They are some
times more than a foot across the
shell. and the oyster fits its habitation
so well that it does not leave much If
any margin.
1t is no uncommon experience in
that quarter for a person who is hun
CRY to have one oyster, fried in butter
or in eggs and breadcrumbs, set be-
fore him. The delicacy of flavor of
the Port Lincoln mammoth is famous,
even in that land of luxuries, and one
is ample even for hearty appetite.

QUEER ENGLISH TAXES.
Babies as Well as Windows Used te
Help Swell the Revenues

Babies as Well as Windows Used to
Help Swell the Revenues.
In 1895 tax of Q shillings had to be
paid by the parents Of every little
stranger born in England except by
people in receipt of aims Curiously
enough, measure proposing tax on
babies was introduced some time ago
in the local parliament Of the German
princedom Of Reuss by which it was
proposed that the parents or mother
when registering the birth Of child
should in each case contribute a sum
amounting to 10 cents.
Some time ago a good deal of merri-
ment was aroused by a measure in
troduced in the legislature of New
tax boards, but even this is not an
original proposal. Queen Elizabeth put
a tax on every beard Of a fortnight's
growth, while a couple of centuries
ago Peter the Great insisted that all
mobiles who wore boards should pay
100 rubles for the privilege.
AS chancellor of the English ex-
chequer Pitt rendered himself very un-
popular by the extraordinary means
to which he resorted in order to i'm
prove the state of the country's eX-
chequer. He it was who first intro
duced the income tax, and he also
levied tax upon horses, which caused
a certain farmer to use a COW for the
purpose Of riding to and from market.
Even more dissatisfaction, however,
was caused by Pitts increase Of the
window tax, first imposed in the year
that the tax on babies was enforced.
This window tax caused property own
ers to wall up as many windows as
possible, in order to reduce the amount
for which they were liable.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

strolling along toward his home in
Cambridge one unusually beautiful
night. Slowly. with serene. queenly
majesty, full moon was ascending

light over all things and softening into
semblances of beauty even the ugly
outlines of the conventional domestic
architecture around about. Duly flu

his fence and gazing up in a kind of
rapt way.
1t pleased Lowell to think that the
butchers immortal soul was bathing
itself in the food of semispiritual
moonlight, and, pausing. he remarked,
"What a beautiful night it is, neigh

poet, beating hasty retreat.

his appreciat ton of brown hair with

For as many moons Ida Pawling
had assured herself that without the

office life would be impossible, and she
had not recognized in this feeling any
thing but an appreciation of his court
eSy.
Even the fact that Billy took to 60

sitting where he could catch the same
glimpse of brown hair that was his to
enjoy in the office, did not open his
eyes, and this story might have ended
as it had begun-in polite nothings-

There were two of them, and the

fitness of things, propped them up on

they were being admired by the early
