OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Assurance of
an abundant supply of wholesome oys-
tiers during the season just opened is
given by DR.. Fl. F. Moore, expert on
oysters and assistant Of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, who has
returned from an extended and ex-
haustive investigation of the oyster
beds of Maryland and Virginia. '"The
State Boards of Health are taking ac-
tive interest in the supervision of the
beds to insure cleanliness" said DR..
Moore, "and the pure food bureau of
the Department of Agriculture is main
tanning strict supervision on all inter
state shipments. Many cases of ty-
phoid fever are unfairly charged to
the oyster. While some cases may be
traced to the mollusk, the oyster is
not responsible for as many cases of
the fever with which it is credited
Every precaution is being taken
though, and the Boards of Health of
the several states in the east are pro-
hibiting the planting and replanting
of oyster beds in impure waters. u
The natural beds of Maryland and Vir
ginia are well stocked with the oys.
ter growth and the planters of these
states have considerable supply of the
biyalves.

ENGLAND AND, ARGENTINE.

LONDON.-A shortage in the meat
supplies of the country and fear lest
the American beef combine obtain COM
plete control of the Argentine trade
have induced the British government
to reconsider the possibility of remov-
ing the existing prohibition against the
importation to Great Britain of Ar.
gentine cattle.
The matter is still in a tentative
stage, but in response to Argentine Is
late request for the removal of the
present restrictions, Great Britain has
asked Argentina to furnish detailed In
formation Of the steps taken by the
federal and provincial governments in
suppressing the foot and mouth dis
ease in order that the matter may be
considered.

A number of Smyrna fig trees have
found their way into Honolulu during
the past decade, and while they grew
thriftily, and bore fruit, none of it
remained on the tree long enough to
attain an edible stage. The cause for
this was made clear during the pres
ent summer in the entomologist Is
monthly reports, viz, the lack in many
cases of the male trees (eapris), and
where these were present, the insect
agent for the transportation of the
pollen from these to the receptive
smyrnas was absent.
In a recent report the entomologist
announced that the introduction of this
insect, the fig wasp, had advanced so
far that colony was breeding in the
capri or male fruit at Moanalua. Yes
terday Mr.. Kotinsky escorted Mr..
Ehrhorn to Moanalua and was elated
to discover that some of the Smyrna
figs there were caprifed (fertilized)
and big, luscious fruit was to be found
on all the trees in the vicinity of the
capris- the first smyrna figs produced
on these islands. Many of the capri
figs have also set, thus betraying the
presence of the wasp within them. The
insect promises to stay here and the
development of the industry henceforth
will depend solely upon the number of
trees planted. Climate and soil are en-
couraging, and the initial outlay is in
considerable.

THE EVILS OF EXCESS.

Max Morris, the head Of the Clerks
International Protective Association,
deplored in his Denver Office, apropos of
Labor day, the long hours of too many
clerks.
"Too much work. said Mr.. Morris,
''is as harmful as too much play. Too
much of the finest and best thing is
harmful. You've heard Of the spring in
the Vale. of Avoca9
'Well, old Michael O'Hoolahan was
walking in the Vale Of Avoca one hot
afternoon, and he came to a spring. It
was crystal pure. The sand it bubbled
out of was as white as snow. Rainbow
mists hung over it in the sunshine.
cold Michael knelt down and took a
drink, and then, feeling remarkably re-
freshed, he turned homeward. Though
he didn It know it, the spring in the
Vale of Avoca was the real fountain of
youth, and it had lifted thirty years
from his bent shoulders and he was an
outstepping, handsome lad again. So,
of course, when he got in the house his
wife didn't know him. He looked in
the glass at himself, cut a caper, and
then he said:
Shure, Kathleen, twas the blessed
spring dhrunk from in the Vale OF
Avoca. Glory be, it S made me young
again. Run, darlint, run for yer life
Ye can It miss it for the rainbow mists
that float above it. TIN take yer fat
away and yer lameness, and when ye
come back you II be the Kathleen ]
knowed back in the SEVENTIES
$50 Kathleen ran, and Michael lii
his pipe and waited for her But she
didn t come back. He waited and
waited. Then on towards dusk he hur-
ried to the vale.
"No Kathleen did he see anywhere
but the wall of babe s voice weeping
brought him through the dark to the
spring, and sitting there on the grass
was a little baby girl crying as if hel
heart would break.
What s happened We, acushla9
says Michael.
Don't We know me9' says the
child, wringing her hands.
80 Faith an do not, says Michael
who are yea
g Il m yer wife, sobs the baby.

Yes says the baby. I'm afthe,

CHICAGO, Sept. 15,-More progress
has been made in China in the past
five years than in any, century pre-
vious, and it is this country's duty to
see that the phenomenal advancement
is continued.
Charles II. Crane, envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary of
the United States to China, thus sum-
med up his view Of the country in
which he viii represent the United
States, in an address to $50 statesmen
and business men at a luncheon given
by the Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation in the gold room of the Con-
gress Hotel.
Crane, in a short address,, said:
tAnything for the welfare of China
is for our welfare. This is the thought
we must keep in mind in our relations
with China.
cit will be my endeavor to keep the
trade door open. We must help her
and keep her from being imposed on,
