THE DIGESTIBILITY OF
CLANS.

While everybody is enjoying or pre-
pairing to enjoy oysters-roast, pan
ned broiied and served on toast, fricas,
seed, escalloped, stewed with celery,
the convenient common stew, or even
the not easily digestive fry-the Hard
ford Times has these good words to
say for the common clam "The sr'ali,
round, hard shell clam is by no means
driven out Of the market, or away
from the table, by that big, bloated
member OF the family, the oyster.
CLANS which are good in Summer are
even better through the Fall aid
Winter. There is common prejudice
against clans that they are indigesti-
bic If they are so, il is because they
are improperly cooked they are
stewed whole into tough leather, the
cook iancying she must serve soles, OF
other marine monstrosiiies, instead OF
clans. Or they are baked to cinders,
as at some OF the popular clam bakes,
where they arc only digested by such
mechanical means as by pouring into
the stomach whole pints Of strictly
prime Bourbon benzine, as the ostrich
swallows railroaa spikes and bits Of
Junk bottles to assist in cutting up its
tough food. CLANS should never be
slowed but cut up finely and gently
smmcred. But the royal way OF serv'
ing the clam is 10 roast il on bars or q
gridiron over bright CRATE fire--the
quicker the better--and the minute il
'sizzIes, open it, pan it and let it sim.
mcr n little in its own saved juice and
a bit of butter. The clam thus cooked
is grateful creature that will repay
all the attention shown it. And &c
served, far from being indigestible, il
is as tender as the swan song in Lo-
hengrin."

THE ORIGIN or THE TERN
GOTHAM.

The term Gotham, often applied in
mild derision to New York, was first en-
ployed. we believe. as a nickname TO
that city by Washington Irving.
The name is not an invention, as is of.
ten thought; it is an actual parish of
Nottingham, England, whose inhabi.
lants were formerly so proverbially
rustic and stupid that they gained the
ironical title of the Wise Men of Go.

ness have been put upon the Gotham
ties, ono OF which is that they Joined
hands on q certain occasion round
thorn-bush TO prevent the escape OF

the bush-of course, the identical bush
lis shown TO tourists in that neigh
borhood. 1t is said that King John,
of Magma Cbarta memory, intended
once upon time TO 20 though the
parish for the purpose OF buying a cas-.
tie and grounds. The Gothamltes,
knowing that the royal visit would
entail considerable expense on them,
pretended, when the monsrch's mes.
sengers appeared, to be occupied with
some silly, ridiculous pursuit, much to
the disgust of tho regal emissaries.
These reported to John what they had
seen, and he declared that he would
not have castle in q neighborhood
where such simpletons lived. There
upon the parishioncrs shrewdly re.
marked, "More fools, we wot, pass
through Gotham than remain in il"
Andrew Boyd, a native Gotbamite,
wrote the "Merrio Tales of the Wise
Men of Gotham" founded on a com.
mission, signed by Henry VIII, to the
magistrates OF the parish to prevent
poaching. All nations are aaTlhi6o sSsf

FLOWERS THAT NEVER wITHER

There ore flowers that never withcr,
There are skies that never faie,
There are trees that cast forever
Cooling bowers Of leafy shade.
There are silver wayelets flowing,
With n lulling sound Of rest.
Where the west wind, softly blowing,
Fans the far land Of the blest.
Tbhherward our steps are tending,
OFT through dim, oppressive fears,
More Of grief than pleasure blending
In the darkening woof Of years.
Often would our footsteps weary,
Sink upon the winding way,
But that whom all looks most dreary,
Der us beams cheering ray.
Thus the Father who hath made us
Tenants of this world Of care,
Knowe'h how to kindly aid us,
With the burdens we must bear;
knoweih how to cause tho tpirit
Hopefully to raise its eyes
Toward the home II doth inherit
Far beyond the azure skies.
rhero Is voice that whispers lowly
Down within this heart Of mine,
Where emotions the most holy
Ever make their sacred shrine,
And 1t tells a thrilling story
OF the great Redeemer's love,
And the all-bewilderng glory
OF the better land above.
oh. this life, withall It's sorrows,
Hasteth onward to a close;
In few more brief to-morrows
WIN have ended all our woes.
Then DER death the part immortal
Shall sublimely rise and soar,
Der the star resplepdent portal,
There to dwell forever more.

Nails AND TAcKs.--A contemporary
says Many persons are puzzled to
understand what the terms "four.
penny "sixpenny," and "tenpenny"
mean as applied to nails. "Fourpenny'
means four pounds to the thousand
nails, "sixpenny" means six pounds to
the thousand, and 30 on. IL is an old
English term, and meant at first "ten
pound" nails (the thousand being un.
derstood) but the old English clipped
Il to "tenpun," and from that IL de.
generated until "penny" was substitu.
ted for "pound." When q thousand
nails weigh less than one pound they
are called tackes, brads, etc, ard are
reckoned by ounces.
