the oysters rc~yood- 1T nsc-passse
TO remark that the oyster is something
to be grateful for.
To-day the table, without cloth,
perhaps, is of cherry or mahogany,
finely polished. For a cloth there is
spread before you napkin OF ample
dimensions and bright and fresh. The
pickle is chopped up celery, and very
good You get two kinds Of crackers
and plenty of them, and a generous
portion OF French bread. The butter
comes in a slightly little cone. The
table furniture is al good = dishes,
glass, everything; the spread before you
Is agreeable to the eye, and the whole
scene is brilliantly lighted with the
modern incandescent electric lamps
The stew comes in an oval dish that
rests upon plate: don't like to eat
out of such dish so well as do out Of a
plate, but you know, at least, there's no
danger Of burning the walters thumb.
The oysters are good, the whole ar
rangement is away beyond the stew Of
before the war. 1t costs more, but are
We not better able to pay for it? For
general get up and get, and dash and
style and comfort, the old stew
couldn't begin to compare with it
The modern oyster stew is one of many
things that we do an everlasting sight
better than we did"

PAST NINETY ON E
The General Now Known as Iowa'e
Grand Old Man.
In Els Checkered Career He Has Been
Pioneer, Member OF Congress. Soldier
United States Senator and Pris-
orer OF State.

Gen. George Wallace Jones, of
Dubuque, Ia, recently celebrated his
ninety-6rst birthday. He is the oldest
living ex-senator, except Senator Brad
bury, of Maine, who is two years his
senior.
Over fifty years ago he was the Ches-
terrified of Washington society and to-
dag he retains the flashing eye, the
prompt and vigorous manner and the
grace and gallantry which distin-
guished him when he was esteemed
the handsofnest and politest man at
the national capital. There remain,
Too, the slender figure and the COM
plexion swarthy as Spaniard's; but
the raven curls, flowing to the shout
ders, upon which rested the toga of the
senator, the well-kept, soft-spun beard
and carefully curled mustache, which
give a Spanish accent TO his delicate
features-these have turned to silver.
However, it would be difficult 10 per
suade Gen. Jones that ne is growing old.
Three years ago he led the grand
march at the charity ball and was
easily the most knightly and chival-
rous figure in the promenade A year
ago last May he journeyed to New Or
leans and thence to Richmond with the
remains of Jefferson Davis.
Gen. Jones father, John Rice Jones,
native of Merionetshire, Wales, was
lawyer, classical scholar, and came
to this country in HISS. His mother was
a Pennsylvania, of German descent,
named Berger, and the general was
the youngest of six sons, He was born
at Vincennes, Ind. on April 19. 1904,
entered the Pennsylvania university at
Lexington, KY, in 1921, and while
there, in November. 1923, served
as sergeant in Gen. Jackson's body
guard on that heros triumphal
march from Tennessee TO Washington.

Through Destruction of Forests.
Canada is killing the goose that lays
the golden egg so far as her pine for
ests are concerned. Rapidly as this de-
pletion of her once apparently almost
exhaustible wealth has proceeded for
the past century, some millions OF dol
lars worth of it still remain. But the
lessons taught by the experience of
older lands are being thrown away,
and at the present rate of consumption
Canadian pine will in a quarter of a
century be thing of the past, SO far,
at least, as its availability forScommer-
cial purposes is concerned. A carefully
prepared official statement has Just
been issued upon the subject. which
shows that in Ontario the standing area
OF pine is about Is, 4oi ,Go0, 900 feet and
in Quebec 10. 734. 600, coo feet. The On
tario forests Will be exhausted in
twenty-six years at the present rate
of consumption, and the Quebec ones in
little less than that period.

MOUNTAINS ON FIRE.
Picturesque Scene ut tho Village OF Gran
sac in France

eAC
sac. ia France
A communica ton from Aveyron.
France, saws: The village of Gran
sac is surrounded by burning noun
,tains. The Montet, which, according
to local chroniclers, has been on fire
for more than a century has now the
aspect of a veritabie volcano. From
its crater-like summit an intense VOL
ume of smoke rises during the day,
while at night multitude Of vari-col-
ored flames furnish the glorious spec
tacle of mountain on fire. Actuated
doubtless by the strong winds OF the
last few weeks, the fiery element,
which had been consuming the entire
Montet mountain proper, has spread to
the range. and has assumed proper
tions which are very grave. During
very dark nights the blaze Eliminates
the horizon as that of great cOntla-
grafton. At times blue white flames
shoot up to considerable height, Civ
ing the effect of lightning during
storm. A curions fact about the burn
ing Montet Is that whenever period
of very cold temperature ensues, the
mountain FIRE seems TO grow In intensi-
.ty. All efforts to extinguish the blaze,
or even to retard it's progress, have
been in vain. All that has been done
to smother or quench the fire appeared
to but increase the fury OF the devour-
ing element. Its progress is increas-
ing, and the blaze never was as fierce
as 1t is now" We add that this fire is
the sequel to a conRagration that broke
out in the coal mines of Fontaines end
Montet many decades ago jeanne
mentions the burning mountain in his
Geographical Dictionary of France,
1874" as having been on fire long
time.
