PREPARING FOR BIG OYSTER SET
 THIS SEASON
Million Bushels of Shells Will Be Distributed on the Beds in
 This Section

stratford, June 2S-The work of re- moving the big piles of shells on Knell's Island has begun. Several schooners have already been loaded and shipped to the growers fin this section. On Saturday the schooners Florence and Howard Russell, both of New York, loaded from the piles bought by the Ellsworth Oyster Com T.any of South Norwa1k. This morn ing the work of loading for the Seal shipt. Company began. Capt. John GoodseI has bought for this firm 300, 600 bushels and the work of planting will be begun at once. The "shellers'' shells from the river during the past year. This is one of the largest catches ever made. The eoeu winter allowed the shelters to work later than during any season for many years.
 It is evident that the cu1tivators are preparing to catch a large Set this season. All of the shells will be in the Sound, and if the ordinary per oentage of set catches there will some time be about i've million bushels Of oysters as the result of the CT ter prise. Examina ton of the beds in this vicinity has disclosed most bril- liant prospect for a large set The oysters are filled with spawn which is developing very early this season. Experts say that the prospects are brighter than at any time in many years. Spawning will begin earlier than usual and will be continued longer.
 The Seaashfpt Company will load i've schooners and a big scow this week and every available man along the shore will find plenty of work. The shells are to be distributed on the beds immediately and the vessels which are to carry them will immediately return for another load. This will be repeated until the enormous piles are distributed.

The aaron's Order.

i A worthy Welsh baronet, member of one of the par1iaments of William ", was asked by one of his constitu- ents who chanced to be in town at the time for an order of admission into the house. With his characteristic dispo- sition to oblige, Sir - immediately compiled with the request and wrote an order in the usual terms and ad dressed it thus: 'sTo the Door. Ceeper of the House of Kommons.'' The per- son for whom it was intended discov- cred the errors in the spelling after he had gone ten or twelve yards from the worthy baronet and, turning back and running up to him, said: t'Oh, Sir -, there is a slight mistake in your order. Two letters have been transposed. You have spelled keeper with e in stead of a sk' and commons with a K instead of a e. That's all right was the answer. 'SThe doorkeeper will see to it. He is sure to know which is which,

 are lettered from A to I. The upper, or sun deck, known aboard ship as A deck, is ninety feet above the water. It has a great prom enade and one of the most ornate smoking rooms ever built in a transatlantic liner. AL though many of the Imperator's eighty-three Iifeboats are kept upon this deck, there is an abundance of room for deck sports of all kinds. Ev- cry device known in steamship con struction has been used in making the Imperator unsuitable. She has tH1ir- ty-six water tight compartments, sew era of which could be flooded with out affecting the floating capacity of the vessel. Her quadrup1e turbine engines, representing 62,0OO horse power, are sufficient to develop an av- craze speed of 22.5 knots.

 Value of Foods,

 i A well meaning meal containing the proper combination of foods is not diff dcult to prepare. The essential ingre- dient, a repairing material, is protein. found abundantly in meat, eggs, cheese and nuts. The starches and sugars, technically known as carbohyd ydrates, are required also, together with fats for fuel for effort. These two fuel furnishing foods can be used alternate 1y, thus securing a variation. Scien- lists who have given the question of food values special attention report that diet of protein, fat and carbo- hyfrates alone would cause starva- tion more quickly than if all food were withheld. There IS the necessity of in- troducing some mineral salts that yield iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium.
 A supply of iron is obtained from raisins, whole wheat, dried beans, prunes and meats or the yolks of eggs. Calcium Is contributed by milk, dried peas and beans, celery and citrus fruits In meat, peas. beans, milk and prunes there is magnesium. Phosphorus forms a quality in meat, milk, egg yolks, whole wheat, dried peas and beans. Potassium is furnished in potatoes pargnips, cabbage, turnips and apples. -Leslie's.

A Leaend of the Foraetmenot.

! The blue bloom of the forgetmenot was christened on the banks of the beautiful Danube. There is a legend that two lovers once walked there. The girl admired some flowers, blue as her eyes, that grew upon an is1et in the stream. The boy promised that she should have them, sprang into the river and swan to the island. Re turning with the blooms, he had nearly reached the shore when the chill of the water and the strength of the current overcame him. With eyes fixed on the white face of his beloved, he flung the blooms at her feet, cried Forget me notT' and was swept away beneath the icy waters to his doom. The legend says the girl, in memory of him, wore iforgetmenots in her hair until she, too, died of a broken heart. Henry ". of England in his exile translated the for getmenot to his friends to mean "Re- member me. e.''-Boston- Post

A Surprise Eor Ioaauin Miller.

When London society after the pub ncation of Songs of the Sierras'' be gan to Honize Joaquin Miller he was much puzzled at receiving three let ters in quick succession from an ad-- mirer who signed himself Dublin" without any initials. One of these con- tained an invitation to breakfast which he accepted, and then discover ed that his host was, the archbishop of Dublin. After his return to America Miller wrote: "At, DubIfnss breakfast met Robert Browning, Lady Augusta, a lot more ladies and a duke or two. After breakfast Dublin read poetry to me, with his five beautiful daughters grouped about him. When went away he promised to send me his books. He did so. put them in my trunk and did not open them till I got to America.

AIMS TO MAKE ANNUAL
 REPORT INTERESTING

Washington, June 23.-In the be- lief that the average government re- port is too dry and uninteresting to command much attention, Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioners of Education, has edited and issued his annual report along radically diff ferent lines.
 Unlike some government docu- ments,'' says 3. statement issued, to- day, this report has been issued with the idea that the information in it is to be read by the general public which is interested in education. Special ef- forts have been made to have the material concise and readable as well as accurate.
 The report covers wide@range and sketches the advancement of educa- ttonal methods during the past year. A second volume devoted entirely to statistics will follow in the immediate future.

New York, June 21.-The 5O,OO0' ton Hamburg American liner Impera- tor. the biggest steamship af1oat, was visited, by thousands after her arrival from her maiden voyage, from Ham burg, The Imperator averaged twen- ty-two knots an hour and her time was announced as 6 days hours and
 55 minutes from Cherbourg breakwa- ter to Ambrose Channel lightship. The total distance of 5,153 miles from Hamburg was divided into daily runs ranging from 229 to 556, made on Friday, the 18th, notwithstanding it was 8 day of strong gales and heavy seas. No attempt was made to speed the vessel, but during her fast est going she proved very steady, ac- cording to reports from shipboard. Captain Hans Ruser, her commander, said he was delighted with her be- havior. The Imperator is 91s feet long To accommodate this length an extension of 100 feet has been built out into the North river from two of the Hamburg piers on the Hoboken side. Her unusual height also has called for the same changes in the pier construction, and passen- gers landed from the promenade deck

DR. ALSBERG WOULD FIRE THE THERMOMETER
 IN HOT WATER DON'TS

washington, June 2S.-The last word in hot weather F'don'ts'' was is- sued in brief form, today, by'Tr. Carl -AIsberg, chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry Dr. AIsberg, it developed. would abolish the thermo- meter because of it's dispiriting inf1u- ence on the minds of perspiring men and women Here are his don ts': Don't eat to excess
 Don't wear too many clothes.
 Don't drink ice cold beverages.
 Don't look at the thermometer and keep thinking how hot it is.''
 Iced drinks are one of Dr. A1sberg' s abomiuations for he says they not only disorder the stomach but they also interfere with digestion. The secret of keeping cool in the dog days, according to Dr. A1sberg, lies largely in temperate eating, taking just enough sustenance to keep of the bangs of hunger.
 seButsr says the doctor, ''above all things keep your eyes from the ther- mometer.''
