This caviare was noarly all shipped to Germany,bul some of it will return lo lliis country iu small tin cans and be greatly increased in value on aocouut of tbe duties- and foreign reputation?
Tho sturgeons are pnt in large neis, and the ibe must be removed while the fish is still alive.or it is of no use. The roe is in large dark flakes. It is carer fully rubbed through sieves to separate ihu eggs, about the size of dnok shot from the film or membrane that holds tbem together. Great care is taken to prevent the crushing of the-eggs. They nro salted and'packed in koge. |
There is nothing wasted of lhe stur¬ geon. The meat is cut into steaks and kept cold, lator? in the season being shipped to New York and Philadelphia, where it is sold lrom 12 to 22 cents a pound. The hides are used, and tho refuse is seut New Jersey,; where it is converted iuto oil and compost.

'    ["Professor1! iu Barnwell People.]
Cunversalion is an nit and like the other useful arts should be taught in our Bchouls. Next to knowing a thing 'is tho art uf expressing it. well. Wo hear a vast deal oi 'twaddle nbout si- lonce, but who admires a taciturn man? Of courso gabble is simply talking vim mad, but he who has the facility of ex¬ pressing himself clearly, fliienily ami pleasantly possesses an iiivaliiablo ac¬ complishment. Talking is not entire- ly.a matter of original cnusiitution. Some persous have a talking endow- ineut uiiil some have not, and lliosoAyho have not may relieve lho infirmities of nature by judicious study and practice Women are born talkers, but they are not nlways the best talkers.. Gifted with delicato 'peiueplioiis,- chastened imaginations and musical voices, they soon acquire command of a raoy.spaik- liug, Sinewy English lhat men never attain. What the woiiieu lack in Vigor they make up in vivacity,, what they lack in 'solidity they make up in sprightlincss; what thoy lack in unity they make up in euphony.' :'
In"my scbool I have been experiment- ing.(with a Talking Class and the ven¬ ture has been crowned with such signal success that I-ivill outline my theory and nielliuds for tbe benefit of' otber teachers who may desire try the plan. Tlio class is composed of the advan¬ ced pupils aud study occupies-atniddle ground between Elocution andRhetoric, No text books are' used. - The teacher able at pilot and captain. The exer¬ cises vary. - One day-the teacher may read oue of _Esop'« (able., or a biogra¬ phical akelch fiom Lossiiig'e Lives, or sonlo. striking narrative, or lively de seription and then require one of ? the members of llio class lo reproduce in Ilia own language' what he heard.read. When tlio scholar has .finished reci¬ ting the teacher corrects alt the gram¬ matical aud orlhoepical errors.
'Such an exercise . will - benefit   the scholars iu six distinct:ways:    ^ _^l^it-*k«paHti«^etiol--*on*tHa.-iip.loo! of atlenlion and thereby cultivates con- conl ration of llie iniiial.
2. Il improves tlie memory.
3. If proper 6eleclions are lead it stores tho mind with an. interesting variety'of isolalod facts.
4. It leaches the children to lislon.and the negative part of convemaiion is of¬ ten as impbitant as the positive.
5. The oi'llinepical and grammatical collections will dp more lasting good .than memorizing fifty abstract rules iu grammar, j:
6. It teaches the children lo talk ex* tempoiahebusly, which; is the pi imary object of theexercise. -
Some days the exercises may be va¬ ried by gettiug Ibe.claBS to describe in their own words a ch'romo or an en-? graving or any other object that the teaoher can show thom.
It would be well occasionally to gel the class to express extemporaneous views on easy subjects such as musio, hunting, watermelons, earthquakes or picnics.
Tho children tako immense pleasure in such exercises. There are no dull lessons to learn by role and they bave a chance to show their o; iginalily and individuality. I am convinced.by ob servation that a olass of Ibis kind is highly .beneficial.
I ' Children ought to receive instruction of this kind at bume.but il is a lameut- blo fact that many pareuls are not com¬ petent to give it, and a still greater nnmber exercise very little personal wnlchcare in.thc education of their oB- spring. Indifferenlism has ruined mere sohools than interference.

Uow mistaken you are; Anybody can chatter. Anybody can exchange idle gossip. Anybody cau recapitulate the troubles ot the kitchen, the cost of the last new diess'and tbe probable .doings of the neighbors. But to talk wisely, instructively, freshly aud delightfully is an imraeuKO accomplisbmont. It im¬ plies exerlion, observation,' study of books and peoplo and receptivity of impression." ¦¦ ¦

A KewMethnil or Treatnient Tor Consump tlain—The  Process Sesciibeal*
(Charleston World.) A revolution is drawing uoar in tbo treatment of consumplion, and from the description of the cure that is now being used, which follows, it seems highly probable that there will have to be a revolution in religion, for it sub¬ jects tho patient to a heal of 480 de¬ grees. - "*-    .
The cure referred to is one invented by Dr. Louis Weigeit, of Berlin, and il consists simply of breathing air heat¬ ed lo such a degree that it kills the bacteria iu lho lungs.
It has been discovered that tbe lungs, even though weakened and waste*! by consumption, can not only bear a de¬ gree uf heat that will kill the germs, but be benefited greatly by it. It has long becu known that a man can stand in a furnace and hold a dressed chicken iu his hand until it is cooked, wiihout experiencing auy serious in** convenience, but it was never thought that a consumptive patient, who could not driuk water heated more than 100 degrees could inhale air heated to 480 degrees wiihout. much personal incon¬ venience. The reason lies in the fact lliat bot air is so very much ratified that it cannot heat anything else to the same degree as itself,., even though breathed in a continuous stream.
This cure, like Dr. BrbwtfSeqnard's "Elixir of Life," is a 60ft bf a novelty in physic. It has been oxpeiimeiilod with but littlo oven in Europe, and mucb less in America.
Oue of (he young physicians of Char leslou, who is mncb devoted to scien¬ tific research and experience, bas beeu trying the cure on a patient lately, and with, so far, perfectly satisfactory re¬ sults. A
The apparatus used .consists of-the following parts:    Astand, with burn¬ er, 'asbestos shield   and reading desk, j two   hollow   brass beating cylinders, and the inhaling tube. '
lis arrangement is very.simplo. The abost08 shield covers the brass cylind¬ ers, which" are: placed one within tbe blber.witb a Blight space betweeu_tbe? outer surface of the inner brie, aud the inner surface ot the outer one. The lamp is fixed below the inner cylinder, and two chimneys,which pierce through Ihe lop of llie outer cylinder, carry oil ibe smoke and gas. Tho inhaling tube draws the air, which has beeu heated by its passage over.tha inner cylinder, aud in thiB tube there iB a thermome¬ ter, wbioh?regisiei6-the degree ofthe heat of the air just bcfoie it enters tbe mouth.
There are two simple valves wliich regulate tbe passage of air in and out, ko that which is exhaled from the lungs cannot {.ass back iuto the cyl¬ inder. ¦   '   .
The.asbestos shield covors the two cylinders to protect lhe patient from the radiating heat.. The. reading desk is put on so that the patient may em¬ ploy his mind while taking his dose of hot air.
The life and development of tbe tn- bercle-bacilli are strictly confined lo a certain and very . restricted range of temperature.
Tbo lesults of experiments made by several, scientifio men proved in all cases that quiet raising of lhe tem pel- atiiro.considerably hindered their pow¬ erot development.._ At 101.8 degrees Ibey hardly grow at all, at 107.6 do grees tbeir development ceases alto¬ gether.

or Existence.
BinsiiNOHAM, Ala., August 19.—An article in an independent paper at Sel¬ ma, Ala., edited by a colored preacher named Bryan, has created a stir in Alabama. The editorial in tiro last issne abiised the whites for various al¬ leged injustices against the colored race, and concluded as follows:
"Were yon (tbo whites) lo leave this Southland in twenty yoars it would be one of the grandest sections of the globe. We would show you mossback crackers how to run a coun¬ try. . You would nover soo convicts half starved, depriving honest work¬ ingmen of an honest living. It is on¬ ly a matter of time when throughout this avholo State affairs will be changed and I hope to yonr sorrow. We were never destined to always be servants, but liko all other races will and must have our day. You now have yours. You have received your revolutionary and civil wars, and we here predict that are. no very, distant day we will have our war, and we hope, as Gud intends, lliat we will be strong enongh to wipe you out of existence and hardly leave enough of yon to tell the story. It.is bemud to come, und just such hot headed cranks as the editors of somo of onr Democrat journals are jnst the light set to hasten it. It is fate."
The whites iu Selma aro taking steps to prevent the Rev. Mr. Bryan, who is now absent from the city, from ever coming back. The executive commit¬ tee of the White Republican Protective Tariff League,- with headquarters at Birmingham, mel hero to-day and passed a resolution denouncing the ed. initial as incendiary aud dangerous, and tendering tlieir moral and, if ne¬ cessary, their physical aid tb stop such utterances.     -.'?'.-

When Mr. William N. Bycrs, the Colorado pioneer of journalism, first started in to print the Rocky Mountain News he bad a pretty lough time of it, and experiences lively enough lo Buit n Uio Indian agent.
News-was plentiful enough, and it was nol generally supposed that the press would make any editorial attacks upon the citizens of Auraria, as Den¬ ver was theu called; so one day when Byers lound fanlt editorially with (lie killing of a Mexican by Cbailes Har¬ rison, a gambler, the laller's friends, fully armed, gathered about and made an nitnck upon lho log house ocoupitid by the News. Tho oditor and hia re. porteis and lypesotteiu were so surprised at the suddenness of the attack (hat they did not havo lime to mako any resistance.
Editor Byers was taken a captive to Harrison's saloon, called lho "Cri terion." The crowd wanted to kill him on tlie spot, and knives and pis¬ tols were flourished in his face. Harri sou had onco been a Mason, and knew ihut Byers was a member of that fra¬ ternity, so, under the pretense of taking him into a side room to talk, he gut him out of the place altogether.
Byers was plucky onongh, for he rau for his office and, arming all hands, laid low fur lhe enemy, who oame fast enough, and a lively combat took place and one man was killed. . It was just about this lime that the Hon. Josoph Wolff, of Boulder, Col., who was a good printer and a handy man about au offico, arrived iu town from Omaha via a Ireight train.
Ho was dead broke, and made nl once* for the News office and asked for tbo boss. Byers, seated on a barrel, was pointed ont to bim.
"Want auy hands?"
"That depends," said Byere, with¬ out looking up.
- "Depends on wlial?" "Can you shoot?" "You bet." "Will you?" "Of course."
- "Well, llien,'!_aaiii the editor, get- ingolTtlii* barrell, "here's a rifle and there's a case—go to work."
"Wha.'U I do first," asked vVolff, "kill somebody or llirow iu a case?"
Byers went lo lho window, leaned well ont, looked up and down careful¬ ly, and then turning back said:
"I guess you'll have lime lo llirow iu a handful."'
Just about tbis time tbe office was in a state of siege and to write and print what Byers wrote and printed at that time required a greater amonnt of moral courage, or wbat'is moie com¬ monly calleal nerve, than is possessed by jiiniiialisls of the present day.
Many tlueata wero mado and more than one combat took place, but the edilor came onl ahead, and always stuck to the paragraph in his salutatory which read: "Our course is marked out.

How Crnne Sapped In Boston.
Comedian Crane was recently given a 6iipper by lho Electric Club, snys lhe New York Mail and Etpress. Invita¬ tions were sent to Orarte, Will Sey; inour, the Slago manager, Joseph Brooks, Crane's manager, and one ol* two other theatrical people, ami the scene of tbe symposium was a* private room in Young's hotel-. Pur several hours before tbe time sot fur repast, however, a couple of the hosts-, ono bf whom is the superintendent of a lead** ingelectiio light compauy, look pos¬ session of the dining room and were . busy witb vaiious mysterious prepara¬ tions which necessitated' the introduc¬ tion of some queer looking jars and coils, of silk covered wiro. Finally Craue, mbicuud, sunburned*, ami Bini- ling, made his appearance His hosts were wailing for him, and their greet¬ ings weie warm and affectionate.
"Supper will be served in a fe\v minutes," said*ono, "but in lhe mean¬ time have a little appetizer," and he handed a silver salver lo ibo actor ou which were two or three glasses of somethiug lhat looked like Vermouth. Crane reached out his hand and his ting ers closed on the stem of ono of the wine glasses, biit as they did so a startling expression of alarm and apprehension overspread his countenance, and bis fingers clung tenaciously to the glass. He tried to speak, but he could only gasp and glare at bis host, "What's the matter, Craue?" asked tbe taller, wilh a well-defined assumption of in¬ nocence. "Matter!" gusped the aclor.- "Tbe infernal thing's bewitched!" and his fingers still clung to (ho glass tenaciously. "Hear! doar!" said tlid other commiserating!)*. "I iorgol thnt you were not used to our binad of Veimuuth," and making a myslicpass over the glass be added: "Nuw it's all right."
The paiucd look left the comedian's face, and his fingers freed themselves from the glass, bul he could not be prevailed upon to repeat the experi¬ ment, though one afler another of his hosts stepped np and, lifting a glass from tho tray, drank its contents to show him nothing was wrong.
