Ovsters, This explains why oyster- | men transfer the oysters by ship loads from the bays along the Atlantic coast, where they multiply rapidly, but where, in consequence of the lack of food, they are stunted in growth, to to the estuaries of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. It is believed, however, by many of the oyster- growers that if the bivalves could be fattened in pure sea water they would be of better flavor, well as more wholesome, The difficulty has been to provide the proper food. After seven years of experiment these oyster-grow- ers have hopes that the difficulty has been The new method, which aims to supply the requirements of pure water and the necessary food, as overcome, of Eastern Virginia. Situated, as it is, near the end of the peninsula, there are no streams of any size Howing into the bay, and the water is as unpolluted as that of the itself. In the low marshy greund that fringes the bay a number of ! canals are to be ocean parallel excavated, the sea water being admit- ted into them bysluice gates. In these canals the oyster will be grown. The molluska will find there their natural food, which consists of diatoms and other minute algae, which are repro- duced in prodigious quantities under ? the conditions existing of the mixture of salt water with a smali fresh The percentage of practicability of the l ady been shown on a small seale.

In Havana. he houses are mainly broad and low, three-story buildings being rare, and one-story structures quite common. You notice that everything is made to serve comfort and coolness. Instead of having panes of the windows by light iron guarded railings, and the heavy wooden doors glass, are open and are left ajar. You see into many houses as you pass along, and very cool andclean they look. There are marble tloors, cane-seated chairs and thin lace curtains, and glimp- urts in the center of each build- ing, often with green plants or gaudy tlowers growing in them between the parlor and the kitchen.

The destruction of Bank Building in New iron and supposed to brought forth the declaration from Chief Bonner of the Fire Department that there is not a fireproof building in the Manhattan York, made of he fireproof, has the city. The fire broke out in the Kemp Building, the heat of which acted directly on the exposed iron- work of the Manhattan Building. The iron resisted the fire—that is, it did not blaze, but, so far as the safety of the building is concerned, it did something ifinitely worse, It expanded under the heat, and forced out the ends of icon beams and girders from their resting places on the supporting piers. The result inevitable. Without the support which the builders gave the floors. down they came and brought with them the mass of fire-brick used as flooring. The roof was brought down by the pulling of the other floor columns, and the destruction was com plete. It demonstrated anew thal like a chain, the strength of a fire-proot building is only that of the weakest ligk. Chief Bonner said ¢ “Iam prepared ts declare, from my experience, that a building of brick and yellow pire, in case of fire, is easier to manage, and the contents have more chance of being saved than the modern fire-proof building. In the former structure the fire burns more slowly and has no chance to concen- trate its heat, asim the iron and steel] structures,” mot WHAT WE ors oe BX what Hood's Sarsaparilla 8, that tells the story of its merit and suc- sess.

Miss Lilian Bell, the clever Chicago authoress, prints rather a caustic view of “The Man Under Thirty-Five” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. She asserts that conversation witha man under thirty-five is inipossible, because the man under thirty-five never converses; he only talks.

RAYNE, In Florence, so long ago that centur- ies intervene, a woman was performing her eventide duties in a humble, un- pretending house on the Via San Gallo, where later a famous and exquisite palace raised its noble proportions. She was a woman of the people, and as she worked she sang a Venetian lullaby, that sounded as sad and sweet as the tinkAng of a lute. She wasalone. and when a sudden knock came to her door started and ceased singing, not knowing that she had told her story of sorrow in her tender ballad. Hut with the confidence of good citizenship she ope ned the door, and saw by the swinging lamp’s red light a youth with a remarkable counten- ance, SO sweet and sincere in its ex- pression, and hj graceful > ene of a slight, figure, clad ina Roman tunic, open at his white throat, around which tend- rils of long wavy hair clung with pie- turesque effect, _ A cap of gray velvet covered his head. The woman noticed. that hands were white, the fingers supple, also that he was a little shabby, and had not the patrician air which dis- tinguished even the nobles of Florentine birth. was that in his speech and manner which indicated a reserve of power not common to one who belonged to the people. “Can I sleep under this roof to-night?” he inquired in the musical Tuscan syllables of his native tongue. ‘Nay, sir, we keep not an inn for travelers and strangers,” the woman said, his yx or “T have ducats to pay for my lodg- ing, but [have lost my way, and am weary—besides all the inns are full for the carnival.” The woman hesitated a moment be- fore answering, then she said: ‘For the sake of my little Raphael, who is but now an angel in heaven. you may My hus- when the music You are hungry, and must eat, but I will take no pay, nothing but your good word.” sleép in our spare chamber. band will be home ceases in the streets. “My name is Raphael, too, and I thank you,” said the youth, and he entered the house where the walls were hare, save for a crucifix, and where a child’s cradle with angels carved” in rude upon it the most luxurious piece of furnitue. scrolls was A supper of figs and brown bread, with red wine was before the stranger guest, and the woman watch- ed him eat with that were red with weeping, as she waited on him, for she kept saying to herself: ‘Such a youth would my Raphael have been if the angels had not needed him more than I,” and then she feil to crying as if her heart would break. “Ts it to God y# give with tears?” asked the youth. ‘‘ Where is your por- trait of the little one ?” “T have none, my good sir. He had eyes like mine, and a chin like his father’s. His hair was honey-yellow, and as fine as silk. And his smile— oh, sir, it was like an angel’s: and, though it be wicked, I do say he looked like the picture of the Holy Ghost.” When Giovanni returned to his home, his wife Lucia explained to him the presence of the stranger, and told hire how she had refused money for a sup- per and a night’s lodging. ‘“You did weil, mia,” he said, ‘for thatthe saints may comfort our little Raphael, who must miss us sorely. What sayest? The same name? Who knows that he was not sent by the Blessed Virgin for this very purpose ? I will take a at him and hear what he has to say.” The youth had that insignia of bear- ing which his host recognized as know!l- edge, but in what line he could not tell even when he had asked the question, “What dost thou to earn thy bread ?” “T am an artizan.” the youth replied, and there the question rested. He was not noble—they were, both these plain people, familiar with the air of nobility —if their guest would not*talk of him- self, their hospitality forbade them the discourtesy of compelling him ; and he was interested in their little angel, his namesake—a passport to their regard. He toldthem that he would be up and away in the morning before it was light, and he took the box that he car- ried with him to his room that he might not disturb them on going, but he did not seek rest on the rough but clean pallet provided for him. All night thev heard him moving a little, and a curious noise attended his movements, so that a great fear oppressed them lest he might burn down their dwelling, or do some damage of a strange, mysteri- ous nature. And before morning they had made up their ignorant minds that this youth with the sweet face was none other than the evil one in disguise. They prayed loudly to the Virgin for aid, and, when it grew light, and they heard the street di set eves look r close, they Waited until certain that he had gone, then stole hand in hand to his room. And then they saw what see med to them a part of that heaven where tions were. ‘@iere was a great picture on the wall that had bleak and bare when last they saw it. The Virgin was depicted there in all her majesty of motherhood, with her infant son leaning against her knees. too, was the little of the infant St. John, bringing his loy- ing gift ofa bird. But the little St. John had the exact expression, the eyes and smile of their dear boy Raphael. The husband and wife dropped on theia knees and thanked their gracious lady for this signal instance of her favor, for now they never for a moment doubt- ed that they had entertained an angel unawares. And the splendor of th« paints, yet undried, on the wall, th. colors that were blended with such ex- guisite harmony that they their affec- t bee li serene There, comrade Jesus, resembled fabrics of silk or velvet, filled them with ecstatic admiration of this diving work of art. Even the hore,-yellow “To My Life’s End,’ Old age brings many aches and pains which must be luoked after if healti is to be maintained.
