 My fond hearts crushing care. How softly lay the laces on her breast Methought she was so lovely in repose That surely paradise was still more blessed In claiming my sweet rose. A rose that thrived in sunshine or in shade Until at length death touched the tender

The Anatomy of an Oyster,

Every oyster has a mouth, heart, a liv- CT, a stomach and other necessary internal organs, including set of cunningly de- yised intestines. The mouth Is at the small end of the oysters body, near the hinge Of the shell. It is oval in shape, and, though not readily discovered by an unpract1ced eye, may be easily located by gently push ing blunt bodkin or similar instrument along the folds of the surface of the body at the place mentioned Connected with the mouth Is the canal which the oyster uses in conveying food to the stomach, from whence it passes into the curious lit tie set of netted and twisted intestines re- ferred to in the opening.
 To discover the heart of an oyster, the fold of flesh which oystermen call the "mantle' must be removed. This is fatal to the oyster, of course hut in the interest of science and for the benefit of the "ouri- ous," it is occasionally done. When the "mantle'' has been removed, the heart, shaped lik6 a crescent or horned moon, is laid to the view. The oysters heart is made up of two parts, just like that of Q human being, one of which receives the blood from the gills and the other drives it out through the arteries. The liver is found In the immediate vicinity of the heart and stomach, and is Q queer shaped little organ, which Is supposed to perform all the functions of blood filter. St. Louis Republic.

Torture In Punishment.

The constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the various states, in prohibiting cruel and unusual punish ments, were not fighting an absurdity. The use of torture in legal processes was not, when these instruments were framed, so remote as it is now.
 When Sir Thomas Dole came as high marshal to Virginia he crushed a conspir- acy by killing the ringleaders by torture.
 One had bodkin thrust through his tongue and was chained to tree until he died; others were broken on the wheel. It is quaintly stated that Sir Thomas was Ia man of good conscience and knowledge in divinity"
 Dole's date was 1911. The next notable instance of the use of torture was in 1692, in the Salem witchcraft excitement, when Giles Cory was pressed to death-the 'peine dure ct forte," the most horrible of deaths.
 Executions were in public throughout She east until comparatively recent times. When Quelch, the pirate and six others were hanged in Boston, Sewall wrote in his diary: "When the scaffold was let to sink, there was such screech of the women that my wife heard it, sitting in our entry next to the orchard" though the gallows was mile away and the wind unfavorable.
 The use of torture to wiring the truth from witnesses is said to have been recog nized as legal in Austria until well within the present centlry. York Recorder.
