Here he encountered # family of strangers, who, not recognizing the King, walked ap to him and asked if they were per- mitted to visit the castle. “Certainly,” replied the King, “be to good sto follow me.” And he conducted them from hall to ball, explaining everything in a manner to do credit to the most yoluble cicerone.

Edacated Oysters. Before the rsiiroad days our oyster growers used early in the tall to canvass the villages on tue Hudson River for oysters, to be filled just betore the river should be closed with ice. 1 d themelves to supply oysters in the shell, with the guarantee that the bivalves thas sapplied should not die before their time came. Tne oysters were actually kept alive daring the greater part of the long winter. The fat bi- | valves were handled with some care, and were spread on the cellar floor, the rounder lower tide down, 20 43 not to allow the liquor to es. cape. That such a life requireda great change of capacity or habit in the bivalveis evident; | and it needed a training, yes, an education, ere the oyster attained to such ability. And this was the way it was done: Beginuing early in 1, the cultivator of the oyster took up the shore, so that for a short time each day they were exposed out of the water. After a fow days of this exposure by the retreating tite, | they were moved a little higher stillon the | shore line, which gave them little longer ex- posure to the air at each low tide. And this pro- cesstwas continued, each remove resulting in & longer exposure. And with what re- | sults’ Two very curions ones—inurement to exposure, and the incalcation ot a providen habit of making preparation for the same. What! prov.dence ip anoyster! Yes, when he's ant, ere the tide retires, the oyster takes a good fall drink, and retains the same until the tide re- turns. Once, while waiting for the stage at a country hostelry, We Overheard the folowing between two rustic practitioners at the bar. “Come, Swill, let's take adrink.” “Well, I don’t Know. ‘Ain't dry myself. Hows'ever, guers I will take a drink, for fear I mizut get dry.” With better philosophy on their side, these educated oysters twice in every tw: four bours took their precautionary drink. The #reuch method of oyster training is much more laborious. The adult bivalves are caretally spread out in the water, and periodical jes«ons are given to each one individually. Each oys- ter on this occasion receives a tap, not with ferule, but with a small iron instrument. ‘This caures the bivalve to close tightly. Finally the last day comes with i's last premonitory tap. its education thus finished, it takes passage with its fellow-graduates for Paris. As a result of Ite education, it knows how to keep its mouth shut when it enters society.—Prof. Lookwood in Popular Science Monthly for November.

A Taxory or Brown’s “Minp-RBADING.”’ Dr. George M. Beard, a well-known New York —- bas written a letter to the New ven Kegister, declari - 4 that next to the “'materialization” of the Eddy family of Chit- tenden, Vt., the pretended mind reading of J. KR. Brown, at New Haven, is the “, ab- surdity of the age.” The doctor says that last summer he ex; these operations in the = ence of weil: wh physicians of New York and Brooklyn, and that he is now ing an essay on the subject. The whole mystery is ex- plained, he says, by the unconscious movement or lunpulse or agitation of the band or arm of the subject when he arzives at or near the bidden article. If the subject sees to it that the arm resting on the forehead of Brown ts per- fectly motionless, the ‘*mind-reader” will fail. He failed not only with Dr. Beard but with everyone whom the doctor instructed in the philosophy of the thing. Dr. Beard offers to render bis assistance in exposing him again. Beard thinks that the power of thougtt-reading was never givento man. He is inclined to be- Neve that Brown is self-decelved, but thinks that the Yale faculty owe it to themee! ves to in- vestigate the matter with the testshe has sug- geeted.
