THE ANATOMY OF THE OYSTER.

A clam is considered as the emblem
of stupidity and callousness. But you
will make as great a mistake if you
put the oyster in the same category
as when you class a Chinaman and o
Japanese together. The oyster is SO
strong Of muscle, as we all know, that
no human fingers are able to open the
doors of his domicile if he chooses to
keep them closed. He has liver and
stomach and digestive organs, all as
sensitive as ours; respiratory organs
as complicated as the human lungs;
machinery for obtaining his water
supply and for preventing an over
flow, and wonderously contrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food, Finally, he has heart whose
pulsations many be seen after his
house has been torn from him. With
this very limited understanding of the
anatomy of the oyster it is not diff
cult to comprehend how cultivation
and care may not only improve it's
outward appearance and augment it's
lines of beauty, but how they also
cause the quality of it's meat to sur
pass that of the "natural'' or unculti-
waited oyster as much as grain fed
poultry surpasses the product of the
barn yard. When your host places
before yon oysters that are plump and
round and thick and deep and light
colored, and mantled narrowly by
e,,i, 70 Ii o1I 10 4
then you may be sure that they have
not only lived with few disturbances
but under high state of cultivation.
| II c. Pierce the druggist give ten reasons
| why Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best:
1. 1t will cure severe cold in less time than
| any other treatment 2. It does not suppress
a cough or cold but 1oosens and relieves it.
3. 1t relieves the lungs, which is of greet i'm
! portance in treating cold. A. 1t is the only
| remedy that will cause the expulsion of
mucus from the air cells of the lungs. s. 1t
! renders the mucus less tenacious and easier
to expectorate. 6. If freely used as soon as
| the first symptoms appear, it will cure severe
| cold in single day. z. It will prevent Group
and avert all danger and anxiety arising from
that dreaded disease. 8. 1t has cured thouS-
ands of cases of Group, and careful inquiry
fails to discover single case in which 1t has
ever failed. 9. 1t does not contain opium
chloroforn, nor any other injurious substance.
There is not the least danger in giving it to
children. TO- Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids
nature in relieving the lungs, and freeing the
system of morbid matter, accumulated by
cause of the cold. so cents per bottle.
There are many kinds of fashiona-
BILE foolishness, some of which are
best corrected by lesson in kind A
writer in the Boston Post reports such
a lesson which might we'll be tried in
many families. The younger mem
bers of one of his friends had fallen
into the way of using senseless phras
es. With them everything was aw
fully sweet, awfully jolly and awfully
something else. One evening this
gentleman came home with a budget
of news. An acquaintance had failed
in business. He spoke Of the incident
as deliciously sad. He had ridden up
town in the car with a noted wit,
whom he described as horribly enter
tanning, and to cap the climax, he
spoke of the butter which was set be-
fore him at the hotel as divinely ran
cid
The young people stared, and the
eldest daughter said:
Why, papa, should think you were
out of your head.
Not in the least, my dear, he said,
pleasantly, Pm merely trying to fol-
low the fashion. I worked out divine
ly rancid with a good deal of labor.
1t seems to me more effective than
awfully sweet. I mean to keep up
with the rest of you hereafter. And
now let me help you to piece Of this
exquisite tough beef.
Adverbs, he says, are not so fash
ionable as they were in his family.

The account of the girl who has just
laughed herself to death in Ohio is
not without precedent in that state.
Several years ago Farmer Allen
and Brother Porter" as they were
called David Allen and R. K Porter
used to travel together as Republican
stump speakers. They had a great
fund of stories, and were accustomed
to tell them in a comical way They
spoke at a meeting in Dedham( eve
think it was), and Farmer Allen set
one of the audience laughing so
that the man could not stop. He was
carried home and literally laughed
