A Washington special to the New
Haven Register says: Nearly all the
members of the Connecticut delegation
in Congress have received letters from
manufacturers in the state inquiring
as to the probable effect on their lllv
terests of the proposed French recl-
proclty treaty. Nearly all of these let-
ters have been answered with a definite
expression of opinion that the treaty
as it now stands will not be ratified.
inquiries from the tobacco growers
are also coming in as to the possible
elect of the President's recommenda-
tion that tariff duties between the
United States and Porto Rico be abol-
ished. Among these writers was one
whose letter was received by Repre-
sentative Henry yesterday. a tobaccc
grower of Hartford County. who has
been a Democrat, but who voted f0I
McKinley in 1898. He expresses anxiety
on account of the proposed tariff
change. but he ventures the hope that
the proposed action will not alert tht
Connecticut interests as seriously as
some persons suppose.

The annual report of the Fish Com-
ml ion has been mapped out. The re‘
po will show that there has been an
increase of about 1.000 acres in thr
amount of oyster grounds during the
year. The total output of oysters in
Long Island Sound last year is esti-
mated at 2.861.456 bushels. marketed at
an average of 81 per bushel. Ten years
ago the output was from 1.500.000 to
2,000,000 bushels per year. and 50 years
ago, the amount was about 200,000 bus-
hels a year. In the past ten years the
great increase in the output is due
largely to the increased plants.
A writer on the oyster business stat-
ed a few days ago. the belief that in
50 years the oyster business of the
country would be practically extinct.
Engineer Sanford of the commission.
said that such a statement. in his
opinion, was not true. While the in-
duatry in Chesapeake Bay had been
decreasing. he had no doubt that. in
Virginia and Maryland. laws would
be adopted similar to the commission
laws, protecting the oyster family. in
this way the oyster industry in that lo-
cality would be built up and re—eatab-
lished.

It is astonishing how many women of
mature years bite their finger nulls.
There is no mistaking nails that have
been bitten though you do not see It
done. And considering how many man-
lcurists are required to cater to these
who religiously attend to the grooming
of their fingers and the great stress
laid on beautiful hands, it is inexplica-
ble how any one can be guilty of doing
habitually what will injure both hands
and nails. One would consider that
mere neglect a sin of omission, would
be an offense grave enough.
I noticed a coat and skirt suit on the
street recently that was particularly
becoming to the wearer. I caught only
a glimpse of it and so could not give
a minute description. The skirt was
a plaid-a rich dark green and red. the
two colors about evenly divided, and
the cost was plain green with wide
revers that showed the entire length
of the front, but narrower of course
at the bottom of the closing. This plaid
front was a little out of the ordinary
and the colors were very becoming to
the wearer.
