The law prohibits the taking of oysters on Sunday or at ni;ht. and dur ing the close season not in- .re than live bushels per day are permitted t lie taken, and no oysters in the .shell are nllou-ed to lie sold out -ide the boundary of the state of Maryland. A park eoiisists of five acres of ma rine territory, which may be .selected bv any native first taking out a license for the i-uiuc. at any n veuicnt point., so as not to interfere v it It or obstruct navigation. The place usually selected is ill the .jnicsccnt waters of some core or ci'n'lt, anil, if for t 'n,;iny pun wises, in slnllovt waters and uiwii as hard a. bo) t. 'li as it is nvv; hie to secure.

A ritylrln Snjr It KU Mitinly In the I Ifhul 1t' I mn ic.iitt ion. "Many prsons wonder," said a house doctor of a well-known hospital to a New York Telegram reporter, "how physicians can watch unmoved tlie death of a person whose dissolution is seemingly accompanied by evidence of pro at sufferinir. and the remark is. n common one that doctors are heartless and unfeeling. This harsh" criticism is founded on a wronir idea of things. The fact is that what is known as the death npony is lar-rcly restricted to the imagination of the watcher at the 1ed sile of the dyiup person. The visible spasms and ilistorti.ins of the facial muscles which in many cases mark the endinpof life are not only painless, but take place unconsciously so far as the dj-in person is concerned. "Kven in case of death by hnnpinp. where the prolonged apony of the" suf ferer is feelinp'.y described by wit nesses, it is reasonably certain that in a few moments the person leeomes un conscious and dies in that condition. Such has been the experience of per sons accidentally or purposely hanped, but afterwards resuscitated. It is a fact that people who have leen nearly drowned aTee in the statement that after a few moments of painful strup ple a feelinpof tranquillity ensues. "The sulferinp is wiiili; the re suscitated ierson islieinp broupht back to consciousness. Then it is he often suffers ph-sical pain and mental misery. It is a merciful dispensation of (i.xl and nature that, when the hist moments of the dyinp man are at hand, vital forces pive out. ami the hmp-drawn-out pasps for breath come and po. the apparent sufferer is happily in a comatose condi tion, and so passes painlessly into the Other life." French Oin-er Stu.lv :-rman. Professorships of the Cerman lan puape were estabished in :dl the Krench military' schools immediately after the Franeo-lVussian war, and of late vears French ministers of war have been wont to tell how wonderfully well all reneh oflU-ers knew tlie tonlrne tf the nciphUir U-yond the 'os.res. f,.n weeksapo. however, when the Kussian Lieut.

Coroner Walley ami his partner, Mr. Kollins, p)ssoss at thoir plaee of busi ness a ilecideilly novel, weinl an.l ghastly ailvertisement. In the vomer of their laek nm stands an ordinary looking rinc ,K)X' s,,oh a one . as is used to place around caskets in the prave. It stands upon one end. and hint's nre at the sides. A lid is opened aiufsi startlinjr sij,rht is revealed. Stamlinff erect, with hands folded in front nnd dressed in no r-.iitnent except a siaiilar jrannent to the one used h.V the Yuma. Imlians (when they use one) stands the dead lnxly of a. Samoan tat tooel warrior, who was known during life as Ietunp:aifo. and who died of con sumption at St. Luke's hospital. The ImkIv. says the Denver Kepuhlican, was taken to Coroner WalleyVon the day of death, and he had it emhalmed. The eyes are open and the Mack hair and slight mustache bristle out with peculiar fierceness. From the waist to the knees it has leen tattooed with blue ink. so as to resemble a pair of knee pants, it ie the neculiar customs tf the country from whence he came to so dec orate the Ixxly of CV.T3- male as soon as he arrives at man's estate. From the peculiar history of this lon 1y Pacitio islander, who. it seems, risked liis life and assisted in saving the lives of many I'niU-d States man-of-wars-men dinin;.' the terrible cyclone that swept over the island in March. ISs'.l, it would seem that the government alone owed a debt of gratitude to Vim to at least put him in a proper resting plaee. Itungaifo was one of five Samo ans brought to this country by U. A. Cunningham. August-1'.. 1 '., and was to have exhibited with them in this city, but owing to his health he was sent to the hospital, and a few weeks after the departure of his countrymen he died. In obtaining these five Samoans Mr. Cunningham had great difficulty, as Mataafa Malietoa. the king of the islands, will not allow any of his sub jects to leave, claiming it contrary to their law and custom. In the terrible cyclone in March, Isst), when the American men of war Trenton and Vandalia were wrecked in the harlxir of Pago-Pago, in the island of Tutnila, the natives rescued the sail ors by making a human line out to reach them, thus enabling tliein to get to the shore. On this occasion Ictungaifo par ticularly distinguished himself for feats of bravery in saving the lives of several of the crew. It was after this . Cunningham at tempted to get the men away. They sailed from the island of I'polu in an open lMat. intending to intercept the Oceanic, steamer from Sidney to 'Fris co, but a terrible storm arose, mil after nearly leing capsized and suffer ing all manner of hardships they were compelled to put back in the harbor of I 'a go-1 'ago. This was on Saturday, and the next day le:ng Sunday till were released to attend church, as the authorities did not think anything would sail on that day. 'u"ningiiam, however, learned the Fnited States ship Alameda was short ly to sail with the sailors who were wrecked duringthe hurricane, and hast ily getting the men together, who were anxious to come on lnard. they were secreted and thus escaped to America, ln-ing the first of their race to leave their native country. A STRANGE STORY. The Ki line of Orpat Serpent No jetm Tl:in 111 V-r OIl. Early in January of the present year a woodman engaged in chopping some at the monster oaks in the northern part of the great "l'.laek Forest." Ger many, and who had built a fire against a large dead log. preparatory to partak ing of his middle meal, was surprised to see a serpent of gigantic proportions crawl from the log as soon as the rot-U-ii wood hnd got well wanned through. Tlie day was bitter cold, anil the snake only made a few yards over the frozen ground until his convolutions became smaller and smaller, until he finally ceased to wiggle und quietly coiled up near a large pile of brush. Tlie sturdy German chopper, who had Wen more surprised than scareL waited until the creature had become thoroughly Ik nuiubcd with the cold, -and then ap proached and dispatched him with his ax. Measurements bhowed the .limy creature to be twenty-seTen feet, f-ix inches in length, anil nearly fifteen inches through the body in the middle. 15ut the most curious part of the story is yet to be told. J ust back of the im mense bend, which was eleven inches in lougth and almost as broad, a little gohl ring had licea put through the .skin. It was in the fcrm of two rings rather than one, licing shaped not un like a figure S. One part of the ring was through the skin, whilo the other was through a hole in a small copper coin bearing date of 1712. . tine side" of the coin was perfectly . smooth, with the exception of these letters and fig ures, which had evidently been "cnt tin it with a pocketknife. the workmanship Wing very rough: "Louis "Krntzer, II. G. O. 1TM." Some. of the older inhaV itants of the "lltack Forest"' rememWr hearing their parents tell of '"Krutzer. the serpent charmer," and they all uaite in declaring that this vigantiii senent was formerly the property of the old ''charrapr," and that it was at least one hundred and fifteen years old when killed by the wtodchonper on that cold January day of ls.)l. DEADWOOD NICKNAMES." ' 4juer Title Worn l.y Somii ! th . Old Tiine Cltarcirter. The wild and woolly west is distin guished for many pecnliarites, hnt none so much as the singular names assumed by some of her people, in some crises thrust upon them." The late Johnny Swift kept a list of such from the early days of IVadwood that made, amusing and interesting reading after that poor fellow's death, says the Deadwood IVmeer. Among them prominently ap peared "Wild ' Bill," "t'-alamity Jane," 'Lobster Charley." "Big Shot Brown," "Bed Bock Tom," 'Smoky Jones," "Rattlesnake Jim." ""Colorado Char ley," and many others filled the long list that were familiar and well known to all the old settlers of the gulch. Each and every appellation was a dis tinct feature of the individuality of the bearer, and by these names they were known and addressed and no other. Tlie ledgers of the merchants possibly contain to this day many of these names. In sauntering down to the Elkhorn freight depot the other morn ing a reporter, of tlie Pioneer thought he recognized in a tall, fine-looking in dividual in front of Jim Allen's saloon, a Mr. Lark in. a merclumt -of Chadron, and saluted him as such lie drew him self up to his full heignt nnd said smil ingly: "I am not Mr. Larkin; my name is Hold-Out Johnson, this morning." Tlie reporter begged his pardon, passed on, wondering what it had been the night Wfore, and musing over the sin gularity of the name. . - Tha Graceful Japan?

The company may think it is 'etiii off all riht, when suddenly some aeei dent, some chance injury to property, or Koruethinjr f that kind, affords an excuse for a levy. When I was with Forepanirh I soon found thrtt the at taehment racket was drx-aded and cursed more by the veteran showman than any other evil. 'One time we wen' showing at Syra cuse. A drunken countryman had been wandering around and fooling with the animals. He finally ap proached Tip as the elephants were lined up to leave, pulled a lhtsk ol whisky from his pocket and tried to pour it in Tip's trunk. Tip resented this invitation to drink, and in about five seconds was wipinjf up the irrnund with his tormentor. I Jut for Han Tay lor and others the man would have I teen killed- "Old man Forepauph took it all in. He knew that the show would be de tained .Till probably miss t'ie next l.;te if we didn't -.-let off. so he told D in to throw t!.e man in a w;s;n and briny him nlony with t'.ie show. We didn't know whether he was dead or alive un til our doctor called it a case of drunk.

'You are discharged, sirl You are disehartred!" the old man thundered, and the fellow sneaked away, utterly collapsed." GRATIFIED CURIOSITY. The Young; Man I r-i 1 tlm Itntton ami I'nt Out the IJffhto. A pentleman recently rave a houe tvannin.'? party, haviny jut moved im.i a new dwelling. A lar' eomp:iny was invit4-l. anil the entire mansion was thrown open to the rruests. The house was modern in its appointment t the last lef!TH'. even to leinjr lighted bj electricity instead of ffas.. One younjf man aniony the pru-'sts saw much to arouse his curiosity and was on the alert for new discoveries. A celebrated sinvr had just taken her place at the piano, when this younir man, who was standing in the lowei hall near the pa nor door, caiifrlit sifrht of something" that looked like a black rubiier button in the center of a small marble d:'. What could that la' for? He was so snxious to know that he could not listen to the si i.'yer. says bni don Tid-Hits. The crowd was jrreat. and he f elt sure he c mid examine tie curi osity without lM-in- noticed. He passed his hands over it slyly, touched the rul ber or metal button with his finycrs. pressed it softly, and on the instant the parlors and hall were in total darkness. The sonfr of the soprano ended in a little shriek, and the air was full of ex clamations. "1'ray keep perfectly iu'-t." the voice of the host was heard sayinjr. "We will have lights in a moment." m Groping his way through the crowd, stepping on their t.'S striking ;!-rainst them and pnttinrhis outstretched hands into shrinkin-Lf faces, the chi'r in-d h st finally made his way into Cie hall, felt alon the wall until he touched the electric button, pressed it arid the rooms were apain flool-l with liyht. The inquisitive younjr man hadn't presence .of mind enough to hold his tonjrue. 'Oil, is that what t hat thinp is for?" he said. I didn't liiiow, or. wouldn't have touched it," DISEASE AND CONTAGION. The Period Unrtna; Which Contact la Dancrroan. Amon p the practical quest ions connect ed with t he subject of contagious diseases is one which relates to the lenpth of the period of special exposure. The llos ton Medical and Surjrical Journal says that the contagiousness of measles, mumps and whooping-couph disapjK'ars with the patient's recovery; that there is probably no danper of his conveyinp the disease to others for about a week after he himself was exposed to it that is to say, during the so-called period of incubation; and that the contagious ness of measles does not extend beyond a fortnipht. Some authorities affirm that the con tagiousness of whooping-cough ceases after six weeks, however lonp the cough ing may continue; others think it pru dent to isolate the patient until the paroxysms are over. In scarlet fever and diphtheria the peri oil of incubation is brief, a few days only; and during this period there is no contagion. It is very important to know that in scarlet fever the period of greatest danger is after the disappear ance of the fever, the period of des quamation or peeling. From ignorance of this fact many lives have liven lost. Persons have gone into society before the peelinp was completed, and almost of course have communicated the dis ease. The fact : is that every particle of the scales contains thousands of mi crobes. A lady who was recovering from scar let fever wrote a letter to a distant friend. As she wrote she blew from the paper the "dust" which peeled from her hand. The letter conveyed the disease to the friend and her little daughter, and the daughter died. A servant nursed a scarlet fever pa tient, and on leaving the place put her clothing into a trunk. A year after ward she unpacked the trunk, and a little girl who btood by took the dis ease. In diphtheria the virus resides in the false membrane, and for that reason is less likely to be carried to a distance; but the particles long retain their power of infection. The contagiousness of consumption lies in the patient's expec torations and discharges. If these are carefully received in a disinfecting fluid, there is almost no danger to attendants snd friends. nrreng-th of Mea and Women. A French scientist who exjerimented with fifty persons Gf both sexes, using a machine for compression as a test of strength, found that the strongest man was able to produce with his right hand a pressure equivalent to eighty-five kilograms (a kilogram is rather more than two pounds) and the weakest to forty kilograms, the average being fifty -six kilograms. One curious result was arrived at; the short men were all very nearly as strong as the tall men. the average difference between equal Croups of two sizes leini nnW tv,w. kilograms. The force of the st woman of the fifty who were selected amounted to only forty-four kilograms, and that of the weakest to sixteen kilo grams, while the average was thirty three kilograms. i j l!ISea.L.5lis I iwi.c COUT.
