Oysters.

The age of an oyster is not to be found
out by looking into its mouth. 1t bears
its years upon it's back. Everybody who
has handled an oyster shell must have
observed that it seems as if composed
of successive layers of plates overlap
ping each other.
These are technically termed
Shoots" and each of them marks a
years growth; so that by counting them
we can determine at a glance the year
when the creature came into the world.
Up to the time of its maturity the
shoots are regular and successive; but
after that time they become irregular,
and are piled one over the other, SO
that the shell becomes more thickened
and bulky.
Judging from the great thickness to
which some oyster shells have attained,
this mollusk is capable, if left to its
natural changes unmolested. of attain
ing patriarchal longevity.

officer of the law" The JOURNAL

A "merry go round" prize fight
and war dance are booked for next paw
week, to say nothing of the constant
round of attraction that besets us in
the ordinary routine. In the words
of the mellow Hibernian, it will be a
"grate wake wild u.s."
Brother Myers gave the JOURNAL a
long exhortation this week on the duty
of newspaper men belonging to the
church. 1t was a good talk and it
would have had immense effect but for
the consideration which has for years
come to the great paper DER and DER
that so many people already belong
to the church who think the church
belongs to them.

Water Works,

Men are out securing the country
for eXcavatOrs.
Meanwhile, the heavy sections of
pipe, six at load, go uptown with
monotonous regularity.
At the reservoir the excavation goes
on slowly and the walls rise apace.
Evans is thought to be too conserva-
tive as a mover of mountains, while
Williams, the mason, is considered as
running con time" AS matter of
prospect it looks much like the latter
will be through erelong.
Some digging in the neighborhood
of the 'Arnold Spring" last week de
veloped new and vigorous fountain
of soft water. In fact. the more
search is made for springs up there,
the more recruits will be found for the
reservoir.
The Water Board still believes we
can get along without the tax.

An Unfair Item.

The following item, published last
week down street, has aroused the ire
of the gentleman concerned:
A Frostburg constable is charged with hay
ing secured round in the night to find dead
man.
HIS name is Owen England, and he
states that his action in the matter
was thoroughly legitimate-in perfect
keeping with the duty of a civil Of
ficer. He cannot see why fraction
of the truth should be given to his
discredlt when the whole truth would
have made the idea of "charge" I'M
necessary. In language more en-
phatic than elegant he denounces the
statement in about the same terms

Retired from Business.

Philip Michael struck his last blow
on the anvil in business way Tues
day afternoon. Forty years ago he
began as al apprentice. Three years
later he arrived in Frostburg and
opened shop on the southern corner
of Water and Mechanic streets, in
which he has wrought uninter
mittingly ever since. Lately he
reached the conclusion that he had
labored long and hard enough, and
that, beginning with October LIST, he
would rest and enjoy somewhat the
fruits of his toll, Mr.. Michael is not
an old man. Both his father and
mother are yet living. But industry
and economical living haye enabled
him to lay by something for a day
which, so far, fortunately, has been
ralnless. May it continue so! Mr..
Michael is good, substantial citizen.
Were all like him, each in his sphere,
there would be peace in politics,
prosperity in the church and the wilder
ness generally would blossom.
Mayor Enoch elise was associated
in trade partnership with Mr.. Michael
for many years. He, too, goes out of
business for awhile. A younger man
than Mr.. Michael, and still stalwart,
it is not likely he will be long content
in an inactive role.
Messrs. r. F. and F. S. Winter have
leased the shop from Mr.. Michael, and
are the natural successors to its large
business. They began work Wednes.

Long Felt Want.

There is man in Morgantown, w.
Va, whom the Ne~ Dominion speaks
of as "Major Keener." He sells beef
and explains why he sells the best in
the market:
He sells only choice cattle, such as have
always heretofore been shipped east, thus
leaving the scrubs for our own use.
This means, of course, that the Major
does not use up the old cows that rattle
ticket ventures have left on the COM
mons, and palm them off at the prices
of firstclass beef, charging cash buyers
at the shop and self-deliverers the same
rates as those entered on passbooks
after hauling the beef from one to five
miles.
If we measure the Major exactly,
there is room for about six of him in
Frostburg.
