RAW OYSTERS.
A Mora Relished Preprandial Dlah of she
Athenian, and Romans.
Raw oysters were eaten at Athens
and Rome as a predrandial whet. The
Romans coated their oysters with
honey und kept them until they were
slightly putrid. The simple and clumsy
methodsof Apieius.the third celebrated
glutton of the name, for preserving
oysters was to wash them in vinegar
and pack them in vessels coated with
pitch. The oysters thus prepared, says
the National Grocer, were sent from
Britain to Kmperor Trajan when
in rarthia were considered "fresh"
and have been suflk-ient to entitle this
man's name to be handed down through
twenty centuries. If he is to be
emed famous in direct proportion to
the Hastiness of his invention, he
should be famous' indeed. Jlrillat Sa
varin s preprandial whet consisted of
three or four dozen ov iters. Sieui
Laderte. whom he used to entertain
tete-u-U-te at dinner, is aaid to have

BEFORE THE BU03SC
In the tassel time of spring
Love's tlie only song to sing: '
Ere the ranks of solid shade -Hide
the blnebird's flitting wing.
While in open forest glade
No mysterious sound or thing
Haunt of green has found or mad,
Love's the only song to slug.
Though iu May each bush be dressed
Like a bride, and every nest
Learn Love's Joyous repetend.
Vet the half told talc is beat
At the budding-with Its ead
Much too secret to be guessed.
And Its fancies that attend
April's pasaion unexpressed.
Love and Nature communing
Gave as A ready, tjtlli ring
Vales across and groves among
Wlstfnl memories, echoing
fan's faroff and fluty song.
Poet, nothing harsher sing;
be, like Love and Nature, young
In the tasseltime of spring.
Robert N. Johnson.

ther was simply unlucky, an mither an
me offen suffered i consequence. 8ae
little o' beuk learnin full to my share,
nor did I blame my parents fcr'it. But
1 had my ain way to mak'. an I sune re
solved that I wad gae to Edinburgh to i
mak' it. But puir mither wasna willin.
"Better bide at hamo, laddie," she wad
whisper again an again. "Stay wi' fay
ther an mo, an dinna fret."
But we'll a' be starvin ." I wad a.rm.
i' turn. "Better let me gang awa' i'
search o' siller."
No, Jockie! Dinna think aboot it!
Edinburgh is a braw town an a wicked
one! Dunblane an the Allan aro far
better."
Sae, though 1 Becretly rebelled. I still
staid i' the auld home, wi' little to eat
save waterbrose, which mither made o"
meal an water, wi'oot the pleasant addi
tion o' milk an butter.
An then cam' the struggle of which 1
maun tell, recht there i' Dunblane. I
warked wi' fayther at any day's labor
that cam' to his diligent hand, an one au
tumn moruin it chanced to be oot Kip
penross .way. We walked alang the
Allan i' silence, niver ance lookin up at
the grand auld beeches owreheid, for
we were baith thinkin an thinkin hard.
My een were on the groun, or I wadna
hae foun w'at I did. It was something
brecht an shinin directly i' mv nath. an
I stoopt an'pockited it i' a flash.
"W at was it? askt fayther carelessly.
"A braw bit o' a pebble." I answered.
"It can gae on mither's shelf." An wi'
that we hurried on to the wark that
waited us.
But mony times that day I drew forth
the stane an leukt it owre. That it was
mair than a pebble I had kenned at first
glance. If it was really a diamond, who
was its owner? There were lairdB an
ladies na sue far awa', an they often com'
to walk alang thebonnie Allan. Perhans
a hue and cry wad be raised aboot the
lost jewel. Or it might hae lain for
weeks, juist where I foun it, and there
wad be na further question. I the latter
case I could gae to Edinburgh an sell mv
lucky nnd. an sae get a start i' life, such
as I had lang hoped for. I didna stop to
think how wrang it wad a' be, for I had
but my ain selfish advancemen' in view.
"Where's the pebble vou foun for
mither, Jock?" askt fayther that nicht.
l maun hae lost it again." I stam
mered, for it was my first lie to either
him or mither. I wanted to tell them
the trowth then an' there, bnt yet I kep'
it back because I was sae plackless, for
they wad baith say, "Your pebble may
prove a diamond, an yon maun find its
rightm owner, .lockie Blacklock!" But
that wasna at a' to my notion, an I stole
out nuder the moon an stars instead.
to be alane wi' my struggle 'tween recht
and wrang. An ivry ance an awhile I I
wad leuk the stane in my pockit owre,
w ata sparkle it had! Perhaps it was
worth a hundred pounds or mair! An
whose was itf Weel. ( honed then that
I might never ken.
But the vera next nicht. as 1 cam'
slow from work along the Allsn, I saw
man l a braw velvet plaid seerchin'
the spot where I had foun my stane.
ne nad a blackthorn stick i' his han.
an he was scatterin the beech leaves
recht an lef. A second glance tauld
me it was auld Laird Kinross, o' Edin
burgh, who had a shootvn box near by.
He didna leuk np ut mv approach, an I
juist stood an watched hira i' silence. 1
wanted to pass on. but somehow I
couldna do it. for the brecht thing he
seercht for was iu my pockit. Conscience
whisper. "Lie honest an true, Jock
Blacklock!" But satan shontit: "Keep
the auld laird's stane! lie has many
anither. an this ane will gie you a stert
i' Edinburgh." Bae I hesitated for a
spell.
Bnt Laird Kinroas leukt up at las'.
"My gude lad," he said kindly, "I hae
lost a diamond o' mooch value. It was
yestermorn when we cam' through to the
hunt, an it was recht here by the Allan.
Perhans vou hae heard o' its findin."
An the gude buu ulwu .uU tne
strength to answer, "I hae, my laird."
His keen gray een quickly leukt me
owre. "You may hae foun it your ain
sel'." An I answered again: "I did that, my
laird, an here is your precious stane. It
has been a load on my heart an con
science, though licht as a bit feather 1
my pockit."
"You wanted to keep it?" he speirt as
he tuj it frae my tremblin han."
"Yes, my laird."
"But yon hao been an honest lad for a'
that, an I shall reward you as you de
serve. Wat is your name?"
"Jock Llucklock, my laird."
"Aye, mayhap a detjdant ' the puir
I poet Bums' gud6 friend, Dr. JJiokloeK.
"I uinua ken. I fear na," I returned.
; "I am juifit the son o' my faytlier, James
; Blacklock. mi ho is Dunblane born."
"How wad you like to gae to Edin
! burgh?'' ho Kpeirt neit.
My heert gied a meat boun. "It's the
! ane wish o' my life!" I cried,
i The old laird smiled. "Ane o' my
j friens there is a banker. Ho needs an
honest lad o' yonr ain age, an yon shall
' hae the place as sune as yon wish."
I fail on my knees i' gratitude, but he
bid me rise at ance. "Hae you a mither,
i joch.' ne speirt again.
"Aye, my laird."
"Then tak' me to her an we'll arrange
sboot the Edinburgh matter."
I led the way to oor cottage wi' falter
I ing footstep. I hud lied to fayther aboot
; the "pebble," an how could I confess it
a' to mither? She met ns at the door
stane wi' wouii'rin een, courtesyin low,
as was her humble fashion.
"1 am Laird Kinross," the auld noble
; man began. "Your son Jock foun an re-
J Fayther leukt at mither, mither lonkt
at fayther. an then they baith leukt at
Laird Kinross. But I couldna leuk ane
o' them i" the een. because o' yestreen's
falsehood.
"Ye want Jock?" he stammered. "Oor
puir, weak Jock. Ye wad trust him
! nifter a'?'
Yes," said Laird Kinross, "a eude

"That we will, mither!" cried fayther.
"Jock's a steady goin lad, but the findin
o' the diamond turned his heid. It was
his first lie, an"
"It shall be my las'!" I cried, wi'
burst o' tears.

mse hi tne laocne deserves it a i an on
the morrow he shall gae wi' me to Edin
burgh."
Sae fayther an mither thanked him
heartily, but I couldna say a word.
Laird Kinross pit his ungloved han on
1 my worthless held at parting "Puir
laddie," he said. "It will be a gude les
son to you, an one you will niver forget.
Ood keep you a till the morrow!" An
wi' that he ganged awa', his braw plaid

Then I turned me quick to dear fay-

occur again 1 I promise to be true an
honest to the day o' my death an ne'er
disgrace the name you hae given mo!"
"You hae our blessing to tak' wi' yoa
to Ldinlmrgh," said fayther. "Mither
an me will forgie an try to forget if we
can. but it was a lie you told me, Jock;
always remember that. When you are
tempted again say to yoursel', 'I told
fayther my first and las' lie. I canua
tell anither!'"
"Nor will I," I cried sadly, as mither
kinst mo ance mair.
'
I went to Edinburgh the next day wi'
Laird Kinross, as agreed upon. Mr.
Brayham, the banker, proved a gude
maister. My position at the first was a
lowly ane, but step by step I rose, as
any ither laddie can an will. Laird
Kinross' generous handfu' o' gowd kopt
fayther and mither free frae want till I
was' able to help them my ainsel'. I
cam' to America ot las', and they didna
hesitate to come wi' me. I prospered
nt!re olso an oin noo called a mon o'
means. But tho foundation o' my suc
cess was laid the autumn mornin I re
stored to Laird Kinross his braw dia
mond against my own selfish desire.
Fayther and mither died five years
apart, an they baith died blessing me.
"You have been a gude son," they said
i' tnrn, "honest on truo, as you pro.nist.
God keep you, Jockie, to the end!"
An their loving blessing follows me
still like a constant benediction. Surely
they are watchin and waitin aboon. An
I maun meet them there. Mrs. Finley

Proper Ventllivtlon ot Rooms.
There aro various, contrivances foi
ventilating rooms, all of which are more
w less expensive and a large majority of
'hem quite worthless. The best way to
ventilate a room is by means of open
Tires. However, open fires are not suf
.iciently wisrm in winter, and there are
few houses that are provided with the
ideal hejiting arrangement of modified
steam heat with grates. Lacking this
and indeed under any circumstances, a
deeping rm or a sitting room should
be, so to put it, washed out with pure
air every d-.y-
Whatever the temperature outside,
evury window should be opened, and the
outer air allowed to pour tlirough it
from W to twenty minutes each day.
As u rule rooms are kcirt too warm. No
roi.m should 1 kept heated beyond a

"Were you ever troubled with the
thought while you walked along Borne.
street, said Uharlos Ebert. "that some.
how you ought not to step on the cracks
that separate the flagstones of the pave
ment or the boards of the walk? You
have been th well, then you know,
That is the meanest habit to form.
Cigarette smoking is bad, and cigars are
expensive and so bad also. Tobacco
chewing is abominable and drinking Is
killing, but the crack dodging habit is
the worst of all. If I could exchange
this miserable feeling that possesses me
when I walk along the streets for any
one of those habits providing I didn't
possess all of them already I would do
it instantly.
"I will start out of a morning for A
pleasant stroll, just to see the beauty of
nature, and unconsciously I will begin
to step over all cracks. Then I will ac
cidentally step on one, and all my pros
pective pleasure Is gone simply dis
pelled and driven away by that one mis
erable thought of utter uselessness that
I have stepped on a crack. I have start
ed for home of a nighttime fairly tired
and conscious of duties well done, pur
posing to enloy a long, sound sleep.
Agiin I fall iuto the desire to avoid step
ping on those miserable partition lines.
"If I succeed in avoiding aU of them, I
rest beautifully, but if not then I go
nome and have a restless, nervous sleep
in which there is no satisfaction what
ever. Of all the diabolical mental in
ventions that go to break up a man's
happiness and peace of mind this one
mental status of avoiding cracks is the
most consummate that any evil genius
could afflict a mon with." St. Louis

Bandwleh Islanders and Tbelr Ills.
When a Kanaka feels a bit out of sorts
he imagines that he has not been diligent
enougn m ms devotions to some partieu
lor god. He immediately procures i
bunch of awa or something in the nature
of a comforting drink, and after a short
prayer to his mountain or river deity he
murmurs apologetically, "Heres Tour
food" or "Here's your drink," as the
case may be. Then he devours the sol
Ids or liquids himself. If the Kanaka's
health improves, the god Is appeased. If
sickness still creeps over him, he turns
to the Kahuna. One of the guild is im
mediately hunted up and opproached
with a bunch of awa or a pig. Then the
Konaka dilates upon his infirmities, and
the Kahuno begins preparing to drive
out the sickness or the evil spirit.
The patient is stripped and laid flat,
and with a bunch of ti leaves the Ka
huna rubs him oil over, murmuring
meaningless words the whilo. If the
Kanaka ge ts well, the Kahuna's influ
ence is increased. If the Kanaka dies, he
was a doomed man anyhow, and the Ka
huna did his best, finch of the Kanakas
as patronize a Kahuna nowadays do it
covertly, and the Kahunas keep under
cover. Honolulu Cor. Chicago Tribune.
An Kagllah Duke Receives a Tip.
The English journals mention an
amusing epilogue of a pilgrimage to
Borne. Just after the last train which
brought the pilgrims back to London
had entered the Victoria station on old
lady bnrdened with packages was with
difficulty trying to find a carriage when
a middle aged man, simply dressed, ap
proached and offered his services.
Thinking she had to do with one of
the employes, the good woman gave him
her bundles, which the obliging man
carried to the end of the station and
then, hailing a cab, placed the old lady
and her impedimenta within, and giving
the driver the address she had indicated.
called to him to drive on. As the car
riage was about to roll off the woman
placed a fee of twopence in tbe hand of
the man who had rendered her the serv
ice.
He was simply th Duke of Norfolk.
The duke pocketed the twopence, think
ing the adventure very original. More
over, it was the first time in his life that
he had ever earned any money by his
own labor.
Model City to Be Balls.
A "City of the Future," such as Bel
lamy dreamed of, will be shown at the
World's fair of Paris, which is planned
for the year 1900.
The Inventions Nouvelles proposes a
departure from the usual toy arrange
ment of miniature models, Eiffel towers,
etc., and advocates the erection of a city
on a site sufficiently lorge to illustrate
practically all the most prominent new
Inventions, as well as the fruits of mod
ern electro technique. The cost of erect
ing this future model city is to be cov
ered by renting out the bouses, hotels,
etc., as well as all the stores to the ex
hibitors. At the close of the exposition
the entire site, with buildings, etc., will
be utilized as the nucleus for a new i

I have not much time to think of
dress," said Mrs. Bentham Edwards in
an interview, "and I was greatly amused
by the remark of a former old landlady.
who, anxious that I should look my best
at some social gathering, remarked aus
terely to tne, 'Really, madam, you do
not dress according to your talentsP
Upon which I replied, 'My good woman.
if all folks dressed according to their
talents, two-thirds, I fear, would go but

KNOCKED THE BRIDE SENSELESS
Only an Unfortunate Incident Growing;
Out of a Bridal Cuatoui.
A well-known New York drummer
returning from a southern trip relates
the following story as of actual oc
currence at a negro wedding in Char
leston, S. C:
After the ceremony had been con
cluded in the most approved style th
groom, who was employed at one oE
the phosphate mines, a few miles from
the city, bundled his bride into a rude
cart, loaded some household effects
into it and prepared, among salvos of
cheers and best wishes, to take her
home.
At this stage in the proceedings ono
darky, who had traveled and been
present as a waiter at the wedding o
some white folks, suggested that tha
proper thing to do was to throw shoes
after the departing couple as they
drove away.
The idea took immensely, and sucli
a scrambling as followed when the col
ored belles and beaux began to divest,
their feet of boots and shoes of various
sizes and weights! Many of the meu
had no stockings on beneath their
shoes, but that made no difference.
They all hung back, suppressing"
their enthusiasm until the happy
groom brought a bale stick down on
the back of the mule and started his
bridal trip. Then with a howl of joy
the guests burst forth and began a '
fusillade which was by no means rel
ished by the happy pair.
The air waB filled with flying mis- '
siles. One gigantic boot struck the
groom in the small of the back and
drew from him a wild yell of agony.
Another hurtling through the air with
unerring aim struck the bride full oa
the head and knocked her senseless.
This was too much for the groom.
Leaping from' his cart, with his bale,
stick in hand, he set about to thrash
every one of the guests. As might be
inferred, a wild riot ensued, or was
abont to, when a policeman came up
and put a stop to it. Nothing, how
ever, could appease the dusky groom,
until the officer assured him that hu
was not the victim of an indignity, but
merely the object of a bridal custom
such as white folks always observed.

A friend relates to me an Incident.
that occurred on tho evening of the,
day when the news of the doiith of
Preston S. Brooks came to .Massa
chusetts, says the Hostoti Herald. It
was at a spiritualistic exhibition held

now the city of Drockton. A com
mittee of citizens had been chosen
from the audience to sit at the table
on the platform with the medium to
ask questions and otherwise represent
the audience in the interest of candid
investigation. Jacob VV. Crosbv. a.
well-known citizen, was one of tho
committee, lie was to do the question-:

quirics, to which replies were made by
the regulation one, two y three nips,
mr. iTonny astounded the snirit, word
by the query: "Is the spirit of Prustou
S. Brooks present?"
There was no reply and the question
was repeated. Then there were some
hesitating raps at the table, but it
could not be determined whether the
answer was in the aftirinotive or tho
negative.
Vou know that he is dead, don't
you?" shouted tho committeeman.
.Tho answer by raps was now dis
tinctly "no."
'Well, he is, thank God!" veiled

to great excitement, as he struck tho
table with his ponderous fist; "and you
had better make a note of It."

Another true story showed how far
tho little candle of a wise and loving

"Whatever it may be," she said, "our

of what we prize most."
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confided her offering to the
teacher; it was a carefully tied pack

This was her most precious and per
