Galveston News says that the
higher man goes the smaller the
earth looks. The News might have
reversed the figure and said that
the higher the man went the
smaller he appeared to the earth.
In any event the harder the dull
thud with which he hits terra
frma when he tumbles. OF this
truism the world affords many
bright and bruised examples.

A liberal government and a
strict enforcement of the few regu-

Benjamin Harrison is the same
old level headed Republican before
a classroom of students that he is
before Congress and the country.
He wants no annexation but he
does want a thorough protection Of
National interests, and if these
cannot be otherwise secured, then
he would annex.
This Breckenridge case and the
conduct of counsel on both sides

foul abuse that is heaped on them
by lawyers in addressing juries.
The evil is a monstrous one and
needs remedy.
Reagan does not carry all of his
party with him in his denuncia-
ton of the president. There is
strong feeling even among the
Judges friends that he leans in
his arraignment too much toward
the Populists, giving color to the
surmise that he is a secret Pop and
an open Dem.
The condition of Garden street
for a few blocks south of Villita is
such as to endanger the legs Of
any horse that is driven over it at
a faster rate than a walk. This is
one of the many travelled thor

that is a disgrace to the street de-
partment.
The Boerne Post sees triangular
fight for the Congressional chair

a free wooller. One such in a case
like that now on trial in Congress
is enough.
The mortality rolls of this coun-
try have added to them some illus

among them is that of David Dud-

How Gen. Butler Lost a Horse.

While in front of Petersburg, the
general received information that
his favorite horse, almond Eye" had
been accidentally killed by falling into
q ravine. Upon the departure of his
informant, he ordered an Irish servant
to go and skin him.
What! Is Almond Eye dead?" asked
Pats ),
Whats that to you? Do as bid
you and ask no questions"
Pat went about his business and in an
hour or two returned.
''Well, Pat, where have you been all
this time?" stcrnly demanded the gen.
eral.
"Skinning the horse, your honor"
''Does it take nearly two hours to
perform such an operation"
mo, yer honor, but then, you see, it
tuck bout half an hour to catch him."
innocently replied Pat.
Gen. Butler cast upon his servant
such ferocious look, that Pat thought
he meditated skinning an Irishman in
revenge for the death of his horse

Three Linen Towels.

81 think a great deal of these"
said mamma, as she drew three linen
towels from the depths of the big,
red chest.
"Why? don't think they're very
pretty" said Rosy.

fellows face, though" remarked
Posy.
"Well, suppose the reason I'm
proud of them is because l spun them
myself when l was just years DID, :"

after the war, and the people down
South were poor and had no slaves to
grow cotton, so we Northern folks

"Grandma did the spinning and
liked to watch the whirring little
wheel One day coaxed her to let
me try to spin. l made sorry work at
first; it took quite knack to keep the
treadle going, and draw out the
thread smooth and even. After
awhile, however, could spin as we'll
as anybody and then l had 'stent'

knot meant winding the thread
forty times around on little reel
which gave loud crack at the forti-

Aunt Jane thought they were good

"When we went to the fair it

about those towels. The ladies

OysterI.

sively upon our tables than the oyster,
and there is no article of food about
which so little is generally known.
want every boy and girl to secure
an oyster and examine the wonderful
mechanism Of the little animal. II
you can obtain a microscop, so much
the better; IL not, you may readily
discern the different parts of the
oysters anatomy with the naked eye.
Have the shell carefully removed so
that the oyster will lie upon the left
valve.
Now, you know that great scion
lists have divided Mother Nature s
numerous children into various fam
lilies, and the oyster belongs to the
Mollusca. or Mollusk, family, and is
classed as the acephalous. or headless,
variety of this family.
The Mollusks are distinguished by
having soft body surrounded by a
mantle, and all of the acephalous
Mollusks have the sides of their bodies
protected by two shells united by a
hinge.
The oyster can open his shell natur-
ally about half an inch wide enough
to admit the food and water necessary
for his growth, but when the shell is
opened artifcially it is necessary to
cut through hard, tough substance
known as the adductor muscle.
The outer edge of the oyster, ruffled
like the fiounce on lady's dress, is
the mantle; this secretes the lime
necessary for the formation of the
she'll; the edges Of the mantle are
fringed with ella, which are moving
bodies resembling hairs, and are
somet times called the oysters beard.
This ella may be protruded beyond
the shell, and their use is to select
the animalcules and the portions of
sea-weed that the oyster requires for
food.
The heart lies near the center OF
the oyster and is shaped like an old
fashioned purse or reticule. When
the shell is carefully removed the
beating of the heart may be distinctly
seen; it has an auricle and n ventricle
and circulates limpid colorless fluid
which is the oysters blood.
The dark liver is large and secretes
yellowish bile. The mouth lies
near the hinge of the shell and has
on each side of it palps or feelers,
which grasp the food and carry it in
side. The eggs are protected in the
folds of the mantl, and look like
thick yellow cream; when the proper
time arrives they are thrown out into
the water in a milky cloud.
A single oyster may con tain 2,00o,-
300 eggs and when elected into the
water each little oyster, though
scarcely larger than the point of a
pin, reveals, under powerful micro
scope, perfectly formed she'll This
she'll is provided with feshy pad by
which the oyster attaches itself to
some smooth surface.
Only few of the millions escape
from the small fish and other crea-
lures of the sea that are always ready
to devour them, but when safely an
chored their growth is quit, rapid
and they attain the size of Il pea in
one month.
The oyster has to be three years
old before it Is fit for use upon our
tables, and il you examine the she'll
you will find it is formed of sue
cession of layers overlapping each
other like the shingles of roof.
Each of these layers represents sea-
sons growth and by cotnting them
you may form some idea of an oysters

Patience OF n Spider.

A certain Bright Eyes, looking at a
spiders web one day, saw leaf drop
on it. The spider was hiding in his
nest, but he felt the leaf the instant
it touched the nest. BY degrees he
got courage to go and look at it, and
as soon as he knew that it was some
thing that was not good to eat and
had no business there he began to
cut the threads all around it. When
the last one was broken the leaf drop
ped by its own weight. Then the
busy worker began spinning, to re-
place the lost threads, and soon the
web was whole, as before.
wonder if he'll do that over
again?" thought Bright Eyes, drop
ping in another leaf. The spider went
directly to work and did not stop
until that leaf was gone and the web
again mended. A third leaf was
treated in exactly the same way, and
then Bright Eyes decided that that
spider had had enough to do. A new
web was selected and a leaf placed
on it, with the same results, and
Bright eyes could not help wondering
how long SPIDERS patience would
hold out There is little doubt, how
ever, that it would outlast the pa
thence of any Bright Eyes who
tests it.
