In Some Parts of the World One
Makes a Full Meal.

Makes Full Meal.
Pliny mentions thG& according to
the historians of Ale1Rnder's expedi-
ton oysters a foot in diameter were
found in the Indian seas, and Sir
James E. Tennent was unexpectedly
enabled to corroborate the correctness
of his statement for at Kottiar, near
Trincomalee, enormous specimens of
edible oysters were brought to the
resthouse.
One measured more than eleven
inches in length by half as many in
width. But this extraordinary meas
urement is beaten by the oysters of
Port Lincoln in South Australia, which
are the largest edible ones in the
world. They are as large as a dinner
plate and of much the same shape
They are sometimes more than q foot
across the shell, and the oyster fits his
habitation so well that he does not
leave much margin.
1t is new sensation when q friend
asks you to lunch at Adelaide to have
one oyster fried in butter or eggs and
bread crumbs set before you, but it is
a very pleasant experience, for the fla
yor and delicacy OF the Port Lincoln

Can He Make Rubber?

Man has initiated the processes Of
nature so often and so successfully
that there is no knowing where he will
stop. An attempt is now to be made to
manufacture rubber, instead of wait.
ing for it to grow. Most Of the crude
product CONES from South America,
and the immense quantity of sap taken
from the trees has affected their vital
ity. Many of the large and more pro-
ductive trees are dying, and 1T will be
many years before the young ones will
be sufficiently grown to yield sap. The
rubber industry is confronted with O
possible sap-famine.
In this emergency NJ. Berthelot
comes to the rescue. He predicts that
he will produce purer and better gum
than can be found in Para, and more
cheaply. This assurance opens up
pleasing vista. The very possibility OF
his success is soothing to the tired
nerves Of the denizen of the city in this
hustling, busting, noisy age. As q
deadener of noise rubber is a genuine
blessing. The next century will not
only see pneumatic-tired vehicles in
common use, but pavements and side
walks OF rubber, and rubber-covered
floors, soft, elastic, and noiseless to the
tread everywhere.

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE
THE BULLET FAILED.
Our sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infirmitfes OF the Veteran.

From Woodstock, Va, Herald.
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He pasted through
both these wars without a serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
killed him. Who can lock on the in
drmities of veteran without a feeling
of the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too,
and as he attempted it, he often
stumbled and fell They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years,
and gave up finally in despair. One
day, however, he was struck by the
account of a cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He Immediately ordered a box
and Commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found it's way
to his fingers and his hands which had
been palsied assumed a natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an eX-
tent that he is able to chop wood, shock
corn and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock. but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift a f1fty-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
DR. Williams Pink Pills have done for
others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises Of the
medicine that mad given him so great
relief Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
AFFIDAVIT to these facts.
