TINY SEED OYSTERS
 ACROSS TO PACIFIC WATERS
LATEST PHASE OF GREAT INDUS. TRY FOR BRIDGEPORT AND
 VICINITY.

The shipment of oyster set across the continent to California for culti- vation in the waters of the Pacific has come to be one of the most inn portant features of the oystermen of this vicinity.
 Transferring the seed oysters from the place of spawning to new waters has been found to result benef1cially, but it is only lately that such long shipments as those across the contin- ent have been undertaken. Oystermen have devised a new scheme for the supplanting of the oyster shells on which the spawn or set fastens itself, and are using trap rock with satisfac- tory results.
 The set now being gathered from the immense natural beds off Long Beach, and from the private beds hereabouts is one of the finest in years. Work will continue until we'll into the summer, when the law causes all work to be stopped to pro- tect the tiny oysters. Excellent prices are reported among the oystermen, the season having been highly successful since its opening last Septembe,.

Correct Time In Eaypt.

The working of the oriental mind was delightfully."- illustrated in story which Professor Turner told the Math- ematical association. He had been spending the Christmas vacation in Egypt to supervise the erection of a telescope at HelOuan. Captain Lyons, who was in charge of the instrument, said that he had found that at noon every day a gun was fired and was anxious to know how the system worked. Accordingly he interviewed the gunner and asked how he knew when to fire the signal. "Oh, look at my watch said the official. And how do you correct your watch?" ask
 ed the captain. "I take it to the mak
 CT in Cairo and he tells me the error" Forthwith Captain Lyons interviewed the watchmaker and asked him how he checked the error of the watch. T get the correct time from the gun," said that simple craftsman. And thus time was told in Egypt. - London Standard

VETERAN PEDESTRIAN TELLS HOW HE KEEPS HIS FEET IN CONDITION fills Description of Their Care May be of Benefit to Sore Footed PeopIe--He Wears Stout Shoes and UncO0red
 Socks

would not go a week before erysipelas would set in. But I knew how to care for my feet and I didn't have serious trouble. Twice a week, when I come in from walking. I dip my feet in wa ter that is not cold or warm. About the temperature of the atmosphere is right. Afterward I wipe them again softly and dry them well.
 I do not wash them oftener than that, unless to keep them clean when I have come in after a particularly hot and dusty day. I always keep the whole body clean by bathing, and the feet especially.
 The shoe is very important part of walking-in fact, the shoe does the walking and the foot guides it as 1t walks My shoes are of stout leather and made to fit the foot perfectly. and are not the light, holiday footwear of the giddy youths. They are not heavy, though, possibly weighing two end half pounds each.
 I have two pains, for they wear out rapidly in walking across country. and one pair is tapped every week. On the line of the railroad from Los An geles to Chicago the ballast is of vol canfc cinders, which cut the leather so fast that one would think he had been walking over broken glass.
 My own feet after a thirty-five hun dred mile walk are my best proof of the good in my method. Aside from my injured ankle, they are as perfect as when started and a whole lot stronger.

Mrs. Sarah Simons, aged 50, wife of a New York merchant, was found drowned in a pond near the MacFar- land sanitarium in Westport, Friday She was suffering from melancholia for long time, and made repeated threats and attempts to end her life, but through the vigilance of attend ants she was thwarted until Friday.
 She managed to steal out of her room while nurse who was as- signed to sleep in the same room as a precaution, remained sleeping. Mrs. Simons escaped through a window opening on the porch, and walked to the pond which is only waist deep. Here her body was found when the nurse awoke and discovered the patti ent gone.

For the Heather Only,

A collectionf was being taken up tn a Scotch church one Sunday on be- half of the heather. The minister made stirring appeal, and the ward en started his round with the box. One of the first members of the con gregation to whom he offered it, says a writer in the Church Family News paper, was evidently ill disposed to the cause
 In a stage whisper, heard alike by congregation and pastor, this man said in blank vernacular:
 "Tak' it awa', lad. Pm not going to give out"
 At that period the collection boxes were taken direct into the vestry. Down came the preacher from the pull pit, went into the ivestry, brought out one of the boxes and marched straight toward the gentleman, all the congre- gation imagining that the minister was going to sham the unbeliever into giving something.
 The clergyman offered the box to the heretic with the naive remark:
 'eTak' what thou wantest, lad. It has been gathered for the heathen."

 TTONC

The Rev. Morgan Millar's views on amusen1ents held the attention of his congregation last evening when he told his flock that in determining up- on the forms of recreation they en- joy, they should ask themselves whether Christ would approve them. He said he believed the Savior was rot the gloomy man he was often pictured but if he were on earth to- day would take an active part in many Of the amusements to which everyday people are given.
 Dancing, card playing, theatre go- ing, he said, he believed, were proper recreations, but he protested against in1moderate indulgence in any of the three. Speaking of the theatre, he urged upon the managers the neces- sity of exercising strict supervision in the selection of attractions for he said the theatre manager exercises a pot ent influence for good or evil espec- ially upon the younger mind.

Springfield, Waterbury, New Haven and Bridgeport enjoy vacations to- day.
 Skipper" Eley's injured digit bothered him so. much yesterday that he requested Manager McCann that he be given a berth on the bench, but Gene could not see where such a valued player could stay out of the game.
 Some size to the crowds at the Connecticut league games. Bridge port reported $500 Saturday, while Waterbury turned in $500 paid yes terday. New Haven at Lighthouse point with Springfield had an attend ance of 4,500.
 Waterbury played great ball in the field yesterday against the Me chanics. In the first inning Hoover robbed Eley of a hit, by sticking his glove in front of fast line drive over third. In the third Tuckey made a great one handed stab of a drive by Stowe, which was on it's way over second base, while in the fourth, Connaughton got in brilliant stop of a hit off Ladd's bat.
 Many of the spectators at yester- terdays game remarked in the way the balls were coming at both short stops Rogers had an easy time of it none of his chances being real hard. every ball coming his way. be- ing on the left side toward second base. On the other hand Jimmy Hall had a very difficult day, most every grounder coming between him. self and sMiller.. He got in front of two drives in this manner. which were beaten out at first.
 Secretary Jack McGuiness was a very much surprised young man Sat urday when he was called from the ticket office to accept present of a gold watch and charm. Jacks friends at the City Hall had gotten together during the week and de- cided to make him a substantial pres ent, realizing that a secretary is also one of the important assets to a base ball team. When the excitement was over Jack doffed his hat to the epplauding multitude.
 Riff" Bailey's hit in the seventh yesterday was most timely. Manager McCann made great fight with the ump that he be entitled to third, but Iawton could not see it. The ground rules stated that 9 hit into the crowd was good for two sacks, and an eX- tra sack was granted on an over throwinto the crowd. As Baileys wallop went through Boland's pins to the fence where there happened to be no throng, McCann made the kick.

 Clunn. the twirler secured from the New York Americans, pitched his first game for the Mechanics, and al- though he was touched up in the last two innings hard enough to win, he showed himself a twirler of class and pitched a brand of sball which, with proper support, would have held Waterbury to a smaller score.

 New York, May 2-The efforts of District Attorney Whitman of New York, backed up by John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., and J. B. Reynolds. in breaking up the white slave traffic promise to bring out a sensation in political circles in many parts of the country. Agents acting under the di- rection of Attorney Whitman bought four slaves in the open market. the girls being under seventeen years of age in each case and were contracted to be sent to Alaska. While a na- tional crusade has been tried again and again to break up the selling of girls into slavery, not until John D.. Rockefeller, IT,, with his millions, took up the matter could the officials se- cure the proper evidence. Four men and women have been arrested so far, and it is announced that the trial will lead into the very center of political circles of some of the larger cities in the United States.
