Not fv. ry i. vi t r! th: ojM'r knows
that the mzc i.t.d I i.irnpncss which are
so highly prized iu the pout American
bivalve uiul which arc bo uUri'dive in
specimens on the half-shell or in skw
are not entirely natural. 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. The same
principle exactly applies to tlie oyster.

That signature of Yrnr.
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. American

"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.

THE MUTUAL FRItLND.
. 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.
Fair Shopper "What Is the differ
ence between thee two piece of
goods?" Clerk "One is marked high
er than the other." "Yes; but what is
the real difference between them?" "I
just told you a marked difference."
