THE MODERN OYSTER STEW.
The Middle Aged Man Contrasts It With
 the Stew Of Before Inc War

The Middle Aged Man Contrasts It With
 the Stew of Before the War.
 "When l was a boy, Gefore the war, {" said middle aged man, the price of an oyster stew in good ordinary res taurant Was l2 2L cents The price has gradually gone up until now, in a good restaurant, Gn U -.I:t.ry stew costs 25 cents. In th2 C rg-tlurant there was a cloth upon the table, but this cloth, unless you happened to find it when it had just been pGt on, was apt to be fires coed with coffee stains There were catchup and vinegar and so on, some of them perhaps in bottles in q caster Perhaps the waiter gave you pickle or two. Tho light was not very bright. The waiter brought the stew in an oys- ter plate, and as the hot broth washed about little in the plate as he carried it and sst It down you were afraid it might burn his thumb. But the oysters were good. Let me pause to remark that the oyster is something to be grateful for.
 ''Today the table, without a cloth perhaps, is cherry or mahogany, finely polished. For cloth there is spread before you u napkin of ample dimen- sions 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 furni- ture is all good-dishes, glass, every thing. Tho spread before you is agree able to the 1ye, and the whole scene is brilliantly lighted with the modern in- candescent lamps. Tho stew comes in an oval dish that rests upon plate. I don't like to eat out of such dish so we'll as I do out of plate, but you know at least there is no danger burn- ing the waiter s thumb. The oysters are good; the whole arrangement is away beyond the stew of before the war. It costs more, but arc we not better able to pay for it? For general get mp 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 wo did. New York Sun.

4 Stammerer's Wit.

On one of the old stage routes of east orn Maine was O jolly driver whose habit of stammering was the occasion of some innocent amusement on the part of his friends
 One day his numbering coach was stopped by foot passenger who inquired the way to the next town. The driver attempted to tell him, but no words came. At last, waving his hand desper- ately toward fork in the road, he said:
 ''T t try both roads, and you'll z get there fore can t tell you.
 On another occasion he Vas helping an uncomfortably stout man into tho coach The man was so large that there was more or less delay in finding him sufficient room. Irritated by the atten- tiun he had attracted. tho passenger ex- claimed, in imitation of the driver:
 "TheIel S-start up your old b-b-bean pot of t-team."

He was educated in Ohio schools, and Ut the age of 17 began his business career in Springfield as a clerk in dry goods store. Several more years were spent as a bookkeeper, and then young Bushnell embarked in the drug business. He made some money, and ten years later became junior partner in the firm of Warder, Mitchell Sc Go, manufac- turers of reapers and mowers.
 At first the business was small one, but good management speedily made the members of the firm millionaires. Gen. eral Bushnell is now at the head of the concern, owns the finest business block ill Springfield and the handsomeSt pri- vate residence in central Ohio, and is an contemplating and liberal citizen. His wife is handsome matrun, and the re- mainder of his family consists of two married daughters and a son just out of college. General Bushnell gave $10, 900 to the new Masonic home i'll Springfield and has presented the city with q num- Der of valuable public improvements, in cluding u fountain and a comI}iete pa trol wagon outfit.
 During the war General Bushnell re- cruited a company of the One Hundred and Fifty-sccund Ohio Volunteer Infant ", and served as its captain under Gen eral Hunter in the Martinsburg and Lynchburg campaign. When Foraker was chosen governor of Ohio, Bushnell was appointed Quartcrmaster general of the state. In 1885 he was chairman of the Republican state committee and was a delegate at large to the last Repub- lican national convention in Minneapo- lis. He is a strong personal and politi- cal friend of eX Governor FOraker.
