Yet it is the usual practice for dealers, instead f selling the oyster in the condition in which they are taken from the salt water beds, to iirst place them for a time forty-eight hours, more cr less -in fresh or brackish water in order, as they say, to fatten" them, the opera tion being called "floating" or "l.iyine; out." l!y this process the iMKlyof the oyster acquires such a plumpness and rotundity and its bulk arid weight are so increased as to materia!!;, increase its selling value. The liclief is common among oyster- nicn, says the Chicago News, that, t t.i -w-itt..iiiri!" i, .hie tn an act i;al Vain.'!' lleshand fat audi hat the li.iTrithv value of the m.-llnsk is increased by the process. Such, however, is very far from being the truth. If a Madder ! tilled v. ith salt water and then pm it'M fresh water the salt wat.T will gradu ally work its way out through the jure-, of the bladder and at the same time the fresher waUr will enter the bladder, l'mthcrmoie. the frc-.h water will g in much more rapidly than the rait water goes out, owing to tlie fa. t that the latter is more dense. The resitll will he that the amount .f water in the bladder will bo increased and tlie 1. lad der will swell by ta'.i'iT up 1:1 e water than it loses, while ;.T the same lime it loses a portion of the r.alr.

Why make it so small that it requires unusual care and keen eyesight to read it? Why make it so complicated that no human l.eing but its maker can de cipher it? Why sprawl it all over a heck or letter sheet? This writing of a signature is not n small matter with those whose correspondence readies thousands of letters daily We have frequently seen all the force in an of fice spend half an hour to decipher a signature which should have been writ ten so as to be read at a glance. Some foolishly entertain the idea that an in tricate signature is less easily forged, when the truth is that one that is plain and bold is extremely hard to copy. As examples of what a signature should be, study those of George Washington, .John Hancock, Hon. Hamilton Fish, ff you want to be eccentric, take Hor ace l.reeley's signature for a model, but spare, oh, spare us your ideas of sprawl, complexity, novelty, under the mistaken notion that it insures safety. It robs others of time and patience, and is a nuisance to everyone who bandies it, unless thoroughly con versant w ith your abnormal sign man ual. These remarks are prompted by the receipt of :t .signature measuring fivc-i.teetiths of an inch, although it is composed of nine letters, and should occupy not less than one and one-half inches, and better if two.

"shoe sizesT Some Point of Interest by a Dealer iu Footwear. A third of an inch pnves us a full size in length of shoe: a sixth fuJnishes the intermediate point between two sizes, saving of which is desirable, if practi cable; a small fraction of breadth proes a good way in securing comfort and in eirth of ball or instep an infinitesimal part of an inch is sometimes an ell of freedom; a charter of an inch is a good deal of letting down or elevating at the heel, and the difference of a sixteenth is readily prrceptihle at the sole. For these reasons sudden and extreme changes in s,ze or weight of shoes are injudicious. Kven the "paper sole" (which might never to e worn in any place) shdvld be replaced by one only a little thicker at first. After the sum mer shoe, the proper thing is one of mediem we ight before the winter arti cle is in order, and even that doesn't now mean a thick, cumbersome shoe, as it once did. Very few shoe salesmen, says the Shot? and Leather Reporter, have a stock of patience that will hold out be yond the trying on of the sixth pair of shoes for a woman customer. The lac ing or buttoning of this numlier is con siderable labor of itself; then with eaeh new one tried there is the usual amount preliminary talk about style, price, etc. "Over there is a woman," says a dealer, "who has tried on nine pairs, und she feels worse than the clerk alniut it. She probably has a peculiar ly shaped foot and none of the shoes thus far feels comfortable to her. In such a ease if the clerk shows weari ness he loses his customer." The alleged preference of women in quest of shoes to le waited upon bv male rather than female clerks is prob ably due to the fact that the former can tell them more about shoes and leather than the latter. Many a pair of shoes is sold by the aid of a little ju dicious shoe lore, even if partly unin telligible to the buyer. In the' matter of patience there isn't much difference between the sexes.

Great Tart or in the. I.ove Making ol Sotitlt Anierira. All the lore making in South Ameriea inurt le carried on through a third it son. If a youth tlfbircs t-o marry lie dor s not speak of it to the firl whom he wishev for a wife, but to his own father. The latter, if he approves, roes to the father uf the younjr lady and the two discuss the m-tter together. I'aeh tells the other what he will do for the younpr folks, and lietween them a contract is drawn up respecting settlements and all such things. The intending bridep-room is not per mitted to see his fiancee for a moment before the wedding. As soon as that event has taken place there is a wed ding breakfast, and, usually without the formality of a preliminary tour, the couple settle down to living, either in an establishment of their own or more often in the house of the parents of the bride or the groom. One drawback about marriage in South America, saj-s the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette, is that in taking a girl to w ife it is apt to be considered a mat ter of course that the youn jj man mar ries her whole family also. He has no occasion for surprise or disgruntlement if, together with his bride, fifteen or twenty people come to Miarc his house hold and domestic comforts, including all her available relatives and their servants. These Latins are. a very clannish race, and a father is apt to be willing to adopt a raft of sisters and cousins and aunts, not to mention a mother-in-law, rather than have his on or daughter leave the family roof. It is due to the strength of family attachment among them that hotels in South America are only for strangers from afar; the na tives always find hospitable entertain ment among the kindred.
