The opinion of a celebrated writer on
medicinal subjects is that the oyster

fuel reasonably secure of his health.
The writer gxM*s on to show ttot more
thrvn 30 yearn ago, while he was pursu­
ing a post-graduate course of study m
biology, he discovered that a drop of

offal of the ocean, dining upon material
so filthy and noxious in character that
it requires unceasing activity of a liver
constituting nearly one-half of the bull:
of its body to protect it from i in (»rnf lit /
death, can under no circumsLiiwcs lie
fit for use as a human aliment. In tlx
article referred to it is shown how a
case of typhoid fever in the f.itnily of
the prince of Walt* «eve»nU years ag >
was traced directly to the us? of the
oynter as a food. The health officer of
1 >ubl in about ten years ago truoed an
epidemic of typhoid fever to t: •• aan
source.
The Brit.ah Medical «1 jurnaJ
has given much attention to th s hi
jectand reaches Uie conclusion to w hich
nearly aJl bar ter iol £ Sts have com«*,
that where shell fish have been aul -
jt*cud to contamination those partok
ir.p of such shell fish are exposed to th«-
grave daj.gcrof infection.
Two or three years ago an epidemic
cf typhoid fever in W caleyan university
st Middletown, Conn., was trured direct
I. to the use of oyrtera that had I «•*
l.ittened at the mouth of a drain, wlii<
drain came from a house where a • uf
fcrer from typho <1 fever had «lied. A
fact worth repeating in connection with
this incident is that among those stu
dents who eschewed raw oyster«, ?nt-
ir.gcsily those that had been thoroughly
cooked, there was no typhoid. Nearly
all those, however, who partook of the
rnw material suffered and several di<-d.
In answer to the suggestion thiit un-
wlfuleeoote oysters can be prevented bv
SfM'ing to it that oyster beds are n.ain-
tained where there is no •rwvq.'c, the
wnuv insists that to l»e atioceaflful oy­
ster beds must generally be ks ated
about tlm mouths of rivers und near
some large city so that contamination is
tlu* rule, not the exception- Tlir Inn-
gtmge of the British Medical Journal
in treating of th si subject is:
"The oyster is fond of typhoid bacilli

censured for ita activity in collecting
tyfihoid twilli and other gvmia.”
The concl uakm of t he « hole matter na
draw n by% the writer is that Uie only
safety is to discard tlx* oyster from our
bill of fare altogether, that it may b**

BECOMING POPULAR IN EUROPE.
Demand for American Hardwoods
Steadily Growing on thr Continent.
A significant fact in the industrial
world of Europe is the steadily increas­
ing dranaiid fen- hard woods that are in­
digenous to the soil of America. As
may be supposed, oak leads the foreign
shipments, although tulip, poplar, ash,
gum and black walnut, w henever a good
quality can tie secured, are in some de­
mand.
European consumers like the
quality of American oak, and, since it
io known to lie plentiful here, it will
protiably he bn increasing demand. Cot­
tonwood han been shipped to Germany
in considerable quantities, where cheap
wood is required for furniture, a rut
other us»**«. Much of this lumlier is
forwarded from New Orleans, and since
iigivut part of the oak, ash, poplar, cot-
tonvood and other timbers demanded
by the foreign market is in the south­
ern states, it is not improbable that
lumlier for foreign markets will I m *
largely shipped in future from the gulf
porta. In sjieaking of thus matter the
Northwestern Lumberman says that
the European market requires lumber
cut of exact thickness, and of accurate
length, trimmed so as to have the butts
«quart* and true, Sjiace for piling in the
yards of t he old world is an object, so
that random, uneven lengths are objec-
tionaliie, and, since the foreign buyer
insists that he shall have just what he
bargains for, quality should be strictly
attended to.
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SALARY
<«n Hr Live nt F.nae on the Income
from Ilia “RtlnKa!
“I shall not attempt to answer the
question: How much of his salary does
the president expend?” writes ex-Presi-
drnt Harrison in an article in the
1/adies’ Home Journal, on “The Social
Life of th»k President.” ‘‘But those who
think he «-an live at hia vtu*e afu*r his le-
tireiuent on the income from hia sav­
ings ahoukl take account of several
things: First, that the net income
from safe investment* does not exceed
four per cent.; second, t hat the amount
invested in a home yields no income,
and third, that- he must have a private
Mcretary, for hia mail will be so large
that he cannot, deal with it himself. A
son of one of our moat eminent presi­
dents «ho hail lost all of his means told
me that it was pathetic to see his father,
who was in ill health, laboring beyond
hia strength to answer the letters that
came to him. But. if the president re­
tains a fair measure of health he will
take ca re of hima<*lf. If he was ever
capable of directing the affairs of the
nation he may l>e trusted to administer
bis own buaineaa; and if he has won the
esteem of hia fellow-citizens, and has
rightly valued it, he will not barter it
for riches. To any vocation from which
a man may be. suitably called to the
presidency he may suitably return.’’
