Pliny mentions that, according to the his
torians Of Alexander's expedition, oysters a
loot In diameter were found in the Indian
seas, and Sir James E. Tennent was unex-
pectedly enabled to corroborate the correct
ness of this statement, for at Kotter, near
Trinc0malee. enormous specimens of edible
oysters were brought to the rest-house.
One measured more than eleven inches in
length by half as many in width. But this
extraordinary measurement is beaten by
the oysters of Port Lincoln, in South Aus
tralia, which are the largest edible ones in
the world. They are as large as a din
ner plate, and CT much the same shape.
They are sometimes more than foot across
the shell, and the oyster hts his habitation

he Had a text to Fit Each Case.


A tired looking man applied to a
country clergyman for work. He was
sent to dig potatoes. At the end of two
hours the minister went out to see how
the work advanced. He found that the
man had uncovered at least two quarts
Of the tubers.
"Well," said the parson, ''you don't

"Oh," replied the laborer, Il work ac-

why this: Let your moderation be
known unto all men,"
The minister thought this rather witty,
and took him in to dinner. The moder-
ate worker did not prove to be moder-
ate eater; in fact, he cleared the table.
"You don't seem to eat according to
your text" said the clergyman, aghast,
seeing the dinner disappearing like mist

other famous hunters and jumpers pitted
against Roseberry were Filemaker, Maud
and Helicon. The association offered $500 to
the horse equaling or beating Roseberry's
record, Gen. Thomas 7. Eckert offered 500
as second prize, and there were several other
valuable prizes in this class. The contest
for supremacy between Roseberry and File
maker will be one of the most interesting
events of the show.
Filemaker's history is fully as romantic
as that of Roseberry. He is supposed to
have originally hailed frorn Canada, but
little is known concerning his origin. He
was owned by Mr.. Collyer, of New York,
and ran away with that gentleman one
daywhile on hunting exhibition. At thn
end OF the run FIlemaker was so baoly
used up that Coliyer left Kim on the field
to die or gave him to a bystander. The
animal did not die, however, but lived t.
experience for a time the CALLING life of a
coal cart horse. He waz rescued, it is said, by
w E. d. Stokes, of S:okes-Fisk notoriety,
who saw the noble animal drawing his

night, when it was lighted by myriads OF
incandescent electric lights, was a marvel OF
beauty. The show commenced Nov 10, to
last 9 week, with two performances each
day. In all $4,000 in prizes will be dis
tributed. During the week over 900 of the
best bred horses in America were booked
to enter the ring to compete in con-
tests calling for the exhibition of every
degree of equine excellence. The classes
embrace Arabs, thoroughbreds, trotters,
roadsters, Clydesdales, Normans, En-
glish shires, hackneys, coaching stall
ions, horses in harness, carriage horses,
tandem teams, four-in-hand teams, cobs
and ponies in harness, saddle horses, horse
and cab, cob under saddle, ponies of all
sizes, hunters and Jumpers, fire engine
horses and police horses. Many of the
prizes were offered by such well known peo-
pie as W. K Vanderbilt, w. L. Bull, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, w. F. d. Stokes, Har-
rison Nixon, Prescott Lawrence, Theodore
Havemeyer and p. Z. Collier.
To those who visited the new garden
during the summer past, when Strauss
and Seidl were sending heavenwar.l such
strains of exquisite music, the appearance
of the garden during the horse show would
seem unfamiliar. The stage was removed,
the floor taken up, and vast oval arena
formed, that each evening the kings and
queens of the equine kingdom might
trot, prance, jump and exhibit their re-
spective merits to the thousands of spec
tators that occupied the boxes and thronged
the tiers upon tiers of seats rising from
the amphitheatre on every hand like the
seats of Rome's great Coliseum. Far, far
above stretches the vast roof of glass,
unsupported by a single pillar, and
gemmed with electric lamps. Above the
center of the arena depends the great chan
delier, the 75G separate electric lamps
ablaze and casting their mellow radiance
upon the stirring scenes below.
The arena is 300 feet long and 1877 feet
wide, and around it extends row of box
stalls in which many of the most famous
horses are exhibited. Adjoining these stalls
and between them and the seats is wide

With the Indians in the Nez Perces

Just at this time it is not inappropriate
ard, the famous scout and the one, among
many others of his profession, upon whom
the late General Crook relied for accurate
information. Gourard is a native of the
Hawaiian Islands, is about sixty nine years
OF age, six feet in height and proportion
ately built. He is of an extremely taciturn
nature and has never been known to touch
liquor of any kind Whilst United States
mail carrier on the Muscle Shell river, in
Montana in 1861, he was captured by Sit
ting Bulls tribe and held captive until
1875. He served faithfully with Crook in
that officers memorable Indian campaigns.
His thorough knowledge of the different
Indian tongues and characteristics stamp
him as the most trustworthy of scouts.
He is thoroughly conversant with the In
dian country and is familiar with every
trail known to his old captors. His ser
vices are always in demand in Indian
troubles and as faithful employee
of Uncle Sam is considered the best of his
kind. Gourard's station when off active
duty Is at Fort Mckinney, Wyoming, and
he is known to many boys at the post. He
receives SIS per day when off duty and $40
per day when on the scout. On one of his
scouting expeditions he was re-captured by
his old friends, the Sioux, and stripped of
every particle of clothing, he was left in
mid-winter Gas the Indians thought to die
sixty miles from any habitation. Being pos
sessed of a robust constitution, he made
his way to the settlements and was the
wonder of all in escaping being frozen to
death. AT this particular juncture, Gour-
ards knowledge of the red men is most in
valuable to the government and it cannot
be gainsaid but that much reliance will
be placed on his every report. The public
can rest assured of the veracity of every
statement made by this most famous of
scouts.

AN INDIAN CAMPAIGNER.

No one can foresee the future, nor can
the wisest divine the final set in the Stand
ing Rock and Pine Ridge tragedies, and in
the event of this garrison being needed, it
is In order TO state that one of the Twenty
first infantry officers now stationed at this
post has seen service as company com
mander in both the Nez Perces and Ban
mock campaigns. From the records it is
noticed that in the Nez Perces campaign in
1877, Lieutenant T. E. Eltonhead, with his
company, was actively engaged, and on one
occasion this officer showed most conspicu-
Gus bravery and daring when amid heavy
fire from the Indians, he volunteered and
brought water to his command. At an
other time, on July 3D. 1878, when in com
mand of company d, Twenty first infantry,
he engaged the Bannock Indians near Una
tilla agency, Oregon, the fight lasting from
$50 am. till y noon, when the gallant
young officer, with his command, charged
and drove the Indians from their position.
