which was found on the shore Of the
Rappahannock river. The oyster is
considerably larger than the bottle,
and only very small portion is inside
Upon the sides of the bottle are several
small oysters of tiny size, firmly fasten-
ed there. Mr.. Nelson mas story more
wonderful than his oysters, and for
which there has as yet been no
evidence to the contrary pro
duced. 1t is of an old gentleman,
who lives near Urbans, and who, SO
the story goes, while bathing during
the summer, lost a set OF false teeth,
which hoated away or went to the bot
tom. Last week, while dredging, an
FISHERMAN brought up to the surface
pair of false teeth, around which a mum
Der of oysters were clinging, some OF
which were OF good size, and fastened
on firmly. The old gentleman prompt

In most cases, but our flag, the stars

world that it is possible to IND out
good deal about its origin; still, even as
to ours, we can only guess how IN It's
first form it came to be just as 1t was,
hut the guess is so well founded that
IT ought to satisfy Yankees seeking
the source of the Yankee nag. Inc
first flag Of the United States of
America was raised by Washington at
Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 2 l176. IL
consisted of thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white, with n blue field EN-
| blazoned with the crosses OF st.
| George and St. Andrew. The next
year Congress substituted thirteen
| white stars for the crosses. NOW w

of George Washington's ancestors II

IL follow the old coat OF arms that

The Grain-0 Law Suit.

Rochester, N. Y, May "a, 1897.
The great $50, 900 damage suit
instituted by Michigan Cereal
Company against the Genesee Pure
Food Company is at an end. They
settled it and took it out of court for
the ridiculously small sum of $500,
and, as practical result, Grain-O
is in greater demand than ever.
The new plant, only just completed,
is to be duplicated, so that not only
the old friends of the delicious food
drink, which completely takes the
place of coffee, but the new friends
it is making every day, can be sup
piled. The beverage which the
children, as we'll as the adult may
drink with benefit, will be furnish
ed in unlimited quantities. Suits
may come and suits may go, bu
Grain-O goes on forever. ~ y

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed
condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed, you have rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ter
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition OF the mu
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollar
for any case of Deafness Caused b!

Mayonnaise Dressing.

Sometimes when a mayonnaise
dressing begins to curdle its evil
course may be arrested by the slow
addition of vinegar. If this does
not correct the tendency to separate,
there is nothing to be done but to
begin all over again, with the egg
yolk, the salt, white pepper and
mustard, and add oil and vinegar OF
lemon juice in alternate drops until
this new emulsion has thickenec
properly. Then the curdled may
onnaise may be slowly combined
with it and need not be wasted l
one is all adept in making this salat
dressing (an ameteur can never taxi
liberties with so delicate an opera
tion), a rotary egg beater may b
employed in the place of the usua
silver fork for mixing the ingredi
ents. This will be found equal
useful, and much more speedy /
