THE DAY OF THE OYSTER.
Concluded from Page ~

to the protection of the consumer
against all impure and a%dulterated

employee of the United States to ex-
plot himself and secure a prominent
place in the yellow press by indiscrim-
mate and unjustifiable attacks upon

The prejudice against oysters has
had its day, and is TO- regarded by
scientific men and by thinking men in
general as having very little founda-
ton in fact. This incident in the life
of the oyster industry is only one of
the many examples of the mutability
of human opinion and notion. 1t is
easy to recall hundreds of instances in
which the opinions and beliefs of fiji

ago, are completely changed and ex-
ploded. Many of us a remember

All observers of human events can
cite a multitude of instances in which
the opinions of mankind have in a
short period completely changed, and
it is easy to see that the so-called
public sentiment moves in tides and
waves, so that it is necessary for
thinking men to apply the test of reas-

which yearly spring into existence.
The prejudice against oysters has
been, with many people, a thousand
times greater than the very slight evil

crocheting. She had just designed a

When the gate clicked, she started,
and glanced quickly about her as If
she meant to conceal her work, but
it was too late. She drew forward a
chair, and began to talk nervously
about the church picnic. But Miss
