The main diffisrenee between tiie oyster industry ef America and that of Europe Uea in the et -that in Europe the native beds have long unce been practically destroyed, perhaps not more than 6 or 7 per cent of the oysters of Europe passing from the native beds directly into the hands of the consumer. It is probable that from 60 to 76 per cent, are raised from the seed in attifial parks, the remainder having been laid down for a time to increase in size and flavor in the shoal waters along, the coasts. In the United States.on the other hand, from 30 to 40 per cent, of all the oysters consumed are carried from the native beds directly to market. The oyster fish- ery is everywhere carried on in the most reckless manner, and in all directions oyster grounds are becoming deteriorated, and in some caves have been entirely de- stroyed. It remaies to be seen whether the govbrnments of the States will regu- late the oyster fisheries before it is too late, or will permit the destruction of these vast reservoirs of food. At present the ojster is one of the cheapest articles of diet In the United States, while in Eng- land, as has been well said, an oyster is usually worth as much as, or more, than a new laid egg. It can hardly be expect- ed that the price of American oysters will always remain so low as at present but, taking into consideration the great wealth of the natural beds along the entire At- lantic coast, it seems probable that a moderate amount of protection will keep the price of seed oysters far below the European rates, and that the immense stretches of submerged land along our coasts especially suited for oyster plant- ing may be utilised and may be made to produce an abundant harvest at a much less cost than that whicb accumpanies tiie complicated system of culture in France and Holland. Elizabethan Medicine. The housewife was the great alley of the doc' or In the days of good Queen Bess in tbe still room the lady with the ruff and farthingale was ever busy in the preparation of cordials, conserves, cooling waters and simples. " All the herbs and flowers of field and garden passed through her fair white hands." Poppy- water was good for weak stomachs mint and rue- water was efficacious for the head and brain and even walnuts yielded a cor- dial. Then there was cinnamon-water, and the essence of cloves, gilly-flowers, anrl lemon-water, sweet marjoram-water, aarf spirits of ambersrris. Some of the remedies gravely believed in in those days will make the reader smile. Who would suppose now-a-days that the herb called shepherd's pouch held in tbe hand would stop the bleeding of a severe sword v ound, or a dram of scrapings from a human skull taken daily in white wine stay h%morhage Lady Macbeth's doctor â€" one though, of Shake- speare's time â€" would have composed a poultice of pounded garden snails, while ^a quart of ale, dram of treacle, handful of rue, and a spoonful of tin shavings, boiled together, composed a remedy against the bite of a mad dog. The plague medicines were very numerous, and in all proba- bility never effectual if the patient re- covered at all, he had to thank his own constitution. One of the plague wateln Is composed of rue, agrimony, wormwood, sage, ringwort, dragon's root, pimpernel, marig-'ld, fever-few, bnmet, sorrel, wood betony, brown ring-wort, tormentil, rose- mary, angelica, burdocks, green walnuts, shredded into a kind of salad, and mixed with roots these were infused for three da,y8, covered close, and then distilled. "Some think," says old Burton, "phy- sicians kill as many as they save, and who can tell how many murders they make in a year, that may freely kill man and have a reward for it?" Who, indeed, especially if allowed to prescribe as above But Burton, who wroueht over sixty years after the death of Elizabeth, recommends as infallable a human skull ground to powder, the corns in a horse's legs, and a wolf's liver. The whole system of medicine in the days under review was founded on a series of curious theoretical views, partly those of Paracelsus. This physician divided the body into humours and spirits; the humours were blood, phlegm, choler, and melancholy. Courage was supposed to have its seat in the heart and stomach, reason in the head, and passion in the liver a white livered man was a cowud, and he wlio would not fight had no stomach for fighting.

Balisher that no steps have established the devel- opment of electridty during the conver- sion of water Into steam, and that even upon electrifieI surfaces the steam which arises is electrically neutral. He also statea that it can be experimentally dem- monstrated that no electricity results from the condensation of the vapor of the at- mosphere. A first study on the parallax of the sun by M. Bouquet de la Grye has been submitted to the Academy of Sciences, Paris. This paper is founded on the calculations made in Mexico by the au- thor and If.. F. ijrago during the late transit of Venus. From the measure- ments then taken .there results a mean parallax of 8.76, with an apparent ap- proximations of one-hundreth of a se- cond. Professor Hellriegel has made special researches on the influence of heat and light upon the development of plants. At a constant temperature of 40o C. in the soil tiie roots of barley cannot devel- op .tiiemselves. A. constant tempraature of 30° is not destructive, but decidedly injurious. A constant temperature of 20^ is best adapted to the wants of the plants, but one of 10^ is not distinctly in- jurious. For the rapid preparation of standard solutions of carbon disnlphide, M. A. Livache takes a solution of soap, with which he incorporates a certain quantity of petroleum. In this solution he can dirsolve on stirring more than 300 hun- dred grams of 'disulphlde of carbon per liter for 150 grams of soap. The solution so prepared, after water is added, remains pe^ectly limpid, the disnlphide of carbon not separating out. It must be of importance to dyera to learn that Mr H. Koechlin has published a new metiiod of fixing chromium oxide, founded on tbe property of alkaline solu- tions of chrome of giving up their oxide to organic fibres on being left in contact for some houn. Thus, if cotton is steep- ed in a mixture of two parts acetate of chrome at 16f, (Beaume,) two parts caustic soda at 39S, and one part of water and after 12 hours' immersion the cotton iswashed, the mordanting is complete.

From the mode of life the half-wild bush hones of Australia lead, unaccus- tomed to the hand of man, and not depend- ent upon him for food, they learn to look upon him with alarm and suspidon, and it requires some manoeuvring to ap- proadi them without creating a prema- ture panic. On the approach of a horse- man one or two on the outbide sound an alarm and make off toward tbe rest, who tihereupen rush together, and a general concentration takes place. It is a fine sight to see a herd of these hones, of every size, age, and color, mustering in this manner from hill and vallcqr* as if by common consent. Though physically very powerful, they assume no tbreatenhig aa- pect their safety lies in their speed; and aa th^ eye the snspidous object their meaning is obvious.

"All women are alike in their fear of the can," said an Ulinofai Central conduc- tor. They carry their caution to absnid extremea. That reminda me of a littie atory. Down in the southern part of the State we have np at road crossings some of the dd-faihioned nga», **Look out for the can when the bell rings." **At one of the crossings the othor day two women came up, driving an old horse hitched to a buggy. Thoy looked all about and couldn't see any can, but hap- pened to read tbe sign. *Stop,' sdd one, *I hear abelL' 'They both listened, and sure enough, they heard a bell tinkling. One of the women got out. and amid considenble ex- oitemoit took hold of the horse's bridle. The other one tightened her grip on the lines, set her jaws, and prepared for the wont. They looked anxiously up tiie track for the train, but still couldn't see it, though they could hear the bell a littie plainer than before. They waited and waited. **Five minutes passed, then ten, and still no train. The old horse went to deep, while the women's nerves from long straining threatened to throw them into hjTsterics. Nearer and nearer came the bell i^inst which the sign warned them, and so they stood stsll. "In about a quarter of an hour an old brinole cow came walking down the paa- 'tnre by the aide of the track, chewing her cud and monotneudy jingling her bdl. One of the women cried from nervoua- ness, and the other one got mad at tiie railroad company, and sud they were nothing but mean old monopolies any- way."â€" Chicago Herdd. The Expansion of Ciermany. In Germany itself the foundation of a colonid empire has come to be one of the most prominent of nationd questions and, as is well-known, Prince Bismarck has placed himself, at the head of tUs new and irreaistible movement. The Ger- man nation haii two objects in view â€" fresh openings and opportunities for its commerce and new fields for its redund- ant ' population, without that nationd severance from, the mother country which is now the resnlt of Gsrman settie- ment in Australia or North America. The Germans are becoming anxious ultimate- ly to secure that emigration shall mean what it now means for Emrlishmen, not the loss of the national population, but merely its redistribution within the na- tiond boundaries, in the Fatherland these colonid aspirations are rapidUy tak- ing very practicd shape. "The commer- cial Geographicd Society of Berlin has for some years made a specid advocacy of colonial extension, and now we have an actual Association for the Acquidtion of Colonies, and among severd new periodi- cds specidly dealing with this subject, oneâ€" the Deutsche KoUmiaZ-Zeitung â€" whoUy devoted to securing a colonid em- pire for the German nation. German commercid energy is just now second only to that of England, and has estab- lished itself firmly on nearly every coast. But in regard to new fields for its redun- dant popmation no active measures have as yet been taken. It is true that until quite recently there was hardly any area of ter itory outside Germany that was German soil, and the consequence was that there was no predetermining causes of patriotism to direct the German emi- grant to any particular locality. Thus it is that the German patriot is now keenly regretting that there are 7 000,000 of Ger- man born citizens in the United States that much of the prosperity of Russia de- pends entirely on the German element in the population and that in the quondam revolution, it is said that he took up Provinces of the Turkish Empire in South- every cause that he was engaged it like a ' "" " fanatic and defended it like a philosopher. It may be said of the leadels of this par- ty, tiiat, dthongh fanatics in their cause tiiey display a wonderful amount of sa- gacity in the choice of means and meth- ods for compassing their ends. Their plana of operationa for eluding the liaw where resistance would be dangerous or hopeless are remarkable for coolness of judgment and thoroughness in execution. Mimsten, like von Puttkamer, defend the law against the Bodaliets on the ground that **6ocld Democracy, as far as it is of a revolutionary and anbvernve character, must hide its aetiona in dtA- ness." But the CCToedment does not decrease but rather inereaaea the effideiu^ of il s organization.
