SALUTED BY A SONG.
Jenny Lind's Graceful Tribute to Our
National Flag.


National Flag.
There is a pretty story told of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. II was when she was
in New York, more than sixty years
ago The frigate st, Lawrence had
just returned from a cruise, and the
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden the
alter, and the next day they called on
her in body. Their enthusiasm and
her graciousness soon brought about
a visit to the ship and the acceptance
of luncheon rendered her. When she
was about to leave the ship she looked
up at the stars and stripes and said
II wish to salute your flag"
So. standing on the gangway, she
sang THE Star Spangled Banner" ST.
lently from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads until the
ships family were all assembled on
deck. Nor were they her only audi
ence, for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by many other
vessels near by, and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and exultant cheers rose from
all sides, filling the harbor with their
tribute of applause for the beloved
artist and of loyal reverence for the
nag she had so beautifully saluted.-

OYSTER SHELLS.
Once Little Valued, They Are Now a
Boon to Oyster Growers.

Once Little Valued, They Are Now a
Boon to Oyster Growers.
Ten years ago any stranger could
spot the shore location of an oyster
fishery by means of the mammoth
| piles of oyster shells. These were
heaped up on the shore in great stacks
sometimes from thirty to forty feet in
height. These shells were considered
of little value. In many places they
were actually given away and they
were used to be crushed up and spread
over road beds and they were also
burned in order to get the lime from
them.
Today these piles have disappeared
and IL you wanted ton or so of them
you would have to pay a pretty good
price, simply because the owners want
to dump them back into the sea.
There used to be great deal of
difficulty In preparing oyster beds for
breeding purposes Then it was dis
covered that the best possible breed
ing place for the embryo oysters was
on the smooth inside surface of the
adult oyster shells, and so every year
the shells from the shucked oysters are
taken out and scattered over the beds.
The baby oysters attach themselves
to these surfaces and thrive nightly.
There are experts today who know
nothing of fishing for oysters or mar
ketiug them. but who devote all their
time to the preparation Of artificial
oyster beds This has become rec
ognized part OF the industry. After the
shells have been properly spread over
the bottom of the water the spawn
is liberated upon them and they are
left to fight their own battles with the
crabs, periwinkles, starfish and other
enemies Boston Herald.

C. A. PRoUTY'S POLITICS.
His Alleged Validating Attitude Com
mented on by Ludlow Tribune.

/ The senatorship looks good to the
| Honorable Charles A. Prouty. His orig
inally avowed attitude of indifference
/ to that sort OF preferment has been
abandoned and to the Vermont people
he now presents the spectacle of man
who is willing to accept nomination by
any party, and by every party, If only
he can be assured of attaining the goal.
| As indicated in the news columns of
| The Tribune last week, Mr.. Prouty has
told the Progressive managers that he
would accept a nomination at the hands
of that party; and as recently as the
first dav of August he announced that
he would accept the same honor from
the Republican party. Whether or not
he would accept straight nomination
by the democracy remains to be seen.
An interesting feature of this Prouty
situation is that the Progressive Adj
vance, into the open arms of whose
party this candidate has thrown him
self, told us in its last issue that MIR.
Prouty is not 4 Republican" All of
which. to our mind, greatly simplifies
the situation ard makes it fairly GER
tain that this Kaleidoscope candidate
will lose many votes that he had an
ticipsted receiving For if Mr.. Prouty
is not a Republican, he can hardly ex-
pect the loyal adherents of that great
party to assist in furnishing him the
figures that would carry him into the
senatorship.
The Barton Monitor and some other
supporters OF the Prouty boom have
been bit worried over the impression
prevailing in some quarters that their
candidate would not accept the regular
Republican nomination; and The Mont
tor said that if the report of Mr..
Prouty's refusal to consider n Republic
can nomination were true, MIR. Prouty
has made a mistake that will cost him
many votes and possibly the election
But The Monitor knows by this time
that it need not worry on that score.
Charles A. Prcuty has held high po-
sition in national councils by the grace
Of Republican administrations. and the
ability with which he has fulfilled the
duties Of that position has been appre
ciated throughout the nation. When it
comes to seeking preferment at the
