OYSTERS are in perfection when from
five to seven years old. An oy8terman
can tell the age of bivalve by counting
the successive layers or plates overlap
ping each other, each Of which is termed
a shoot, and indicates a years growth.
Judging from the size and thickness
which some SHELLS attain, an oyster may
be capable of arriving at the respectable
age of three-score and not be the Methu-
saleh of his tribe then.

Signs, Tokens and Warnings

| believe in signs, warnings and tokcnG
| saw this knowing that many will criti-
else, but have had too many demonstra-
tons to allow me to doubt that certain
coming events cast their shadows before
you dropyeur dish-cloth 1t IS siga
that some one in the family is going ~
die. | have seen il tried. MY motaaer
dropped her dish-cloth one morning, and
Just seventeen years after, to an hour, my
grandmother fell dead.
If you break lookingg glass 1t is a Sign
that you are going to move soon, knew
q family once where the woman broke
looking-glass and said she detled the sign.
and that any one who beliesed in signs
was lacking something in the lead
What followed? Why, at midnight ths
very night her Louise took fire; the fire
men came, and the unbelieving woman
was tloated right out into the alley.
If the tea kettle sings it is sign Of
some accident. There was Jones; hc
didn't believe it; said he'd lick the hide
right off of any his children who enter
tanned any such belief Now, mark the
result Just eleven years, five months aua
twenty-six days afterwards, Jones fell
down stairs, drove his thumbs up broke
his knee, put his arm out OF joint and In
jured his spine for life.
If YOU happen to set three lights IN s.
row its a sign that present plans will turn
out as you hope for. had an uncle who
set three lights in row, and his plans
turned out all right He got the horse,
lust as he had planned, and was well out
of the neighborhood, but the sign could
not do any more and he was overhauled
by vigilance committee and left hang
ing to a tree to mediate. He WASN'T
worth much, except as q corpse, after ne
pOt through rr,oditatin@.
If you see a white horse and don't spit
over your shoulder and make wish, it is
another bad sign; you are going to meet
with great disappointment. A relative
of mine used to pooh pooh such things :
said he'd be busted if he'd spit over his
shoulder if he met forty white horses
But he caught it. He didn't get drawn
on the Circuit Court jury as he planned,
and was obliged to go to work and earn
his bread or starve. Since then he has al
ways spit over his shoulder at Nc sight
of white horse, and he is always on the
jury or gets big wages for being q
witness.
If load of hay tips over in front Of
your house, it is good sign; it is a token
that friends are coming with presents. /
didn't use to believe it, until on one oc-
casion, just as hard winter was setting
in, and wood was $l2 per cord, load OF
hay was upset at my gate, and three days
aiterward my brother-in-law and family,
uncle and family, motherin-law, two
aunts and a cousin arrived at nay house
to spend month, bringing me several
presents, among which were two pounds
of dried apples, a recipe for making a new
kind of soft soap, a pair of stockings for
the baby, and Il bunch of herbs. After
these seventeen persons had been in my
house whole month, | was ready to be-
lieve in almost any sign or anything. M.
