Tho FuturofTh Oytr
As tho Chesapeake oystor crop has
grown annually less, tho gonoral de
mand has grown annually greater. Tho
oystor appetite prevails from tho Al
loghonles to tho Rockies, and the great
lntcrioi has in tho past looked to the
Chesapeake Bay to meet the demand
for tho savory mollusk. But in re
cent years this gonoral demand has
been supplied largely from the bayous
and estuaries of tho gulf coast. The
inlets from the Lond Island sound
and those that indent tho. coast of
Now Jorsoy are also producing an out
put of high-grade oysters that is in
creasing constantly from a caieful and
intelligent system of artificial culture.
Many of these northern beds arc sup
plied with young oysters from the low
er Chesapeake, especially from Vir
ginia waters. Original propagation
ha& beon adopted in many of tho
northern waters whore the natural sup
ply has become almost extinct. Not
withstanding the fact that tho oyster
product has been Increased vastly in
other sections by artificial breeding,
the present price of tho oyster is dou
ble that which prevailed a generation
back. It is to be feared that the oys
ter may in 'time become a high-priced
dainty instead of a general article of
diet. Baltimore American.

peace are
en-
grand armies of
camping afield,
There is no glint on the spear, no
blaze on the shield.
No flashing of helmet, nor the gleam

For the shaft of each weapon is pearl
inlaid.
Their standards are glist'ning with the
dew of the dawn,
And growing splendor with the grow
ing of morn,
And there's music far sweeter than
the clarion horn
'Tis tho life-giving music of the rust
ling corn.
How stately and majestic and graceful
in mien
Are tho soldiers of peace in their man
tles of green:
i'sft 'er e row of eacl1 soldier waves a

And there's music far sweeter than

et 'Tis tho llfe-glvlng music of tho rust
