Old fashioned cookbooks invariably
order us TO- "beard the OYSTER" IT
was quite an experienced housekeeper, +"
said well known cooking authority,
before / knew what the beard of an
oyster was. It is, / believe. the little
frill.
"The question then occurred, Why
should this portion be removed? With
our American oyster there is no COCA
sion to remove it, and we never do it,"
No doubt many a new housekeeper
has felt guilty of emitting to do some
thing that should be done when she
served her husband oysters with their
"beards" ON. She felt doubly guilty
when he praised them and declared they
were the best oysters he had ever eaten.
Probably she kept the secret until she
consulted some old housekeeper, who
promptly told her she didn't know what
the beard of an oyster was, and that GER
tainly no one nowadays ever removes it.
This expression is generally found in
old English works of the order of the
Complete British Housewife. ] is prob
able that this portion of the Isters of
Great Britain is especially tinctured
with their coppery' flavor and was for
merly removed. Certainly no one today
who eats his oysters at Delmonico's or
at any famous restaurant finds the frill
or any portion of the mollusk, except
the shell, missing.

where Hotel Men Draw q Line.

Among annoyances to which hotels
are subjected is one which means ma
terial loss at busy times This is when
a person telegraphs or writes for rooms
to be reserved and upon arriving in
town decides to 60 to another hotel.
Very frequently rooms which could
have been given to guests are vacant
on account Of this, and the careless no.
tel patrons appear to be unaware that
they have inflicted any injury on the
house. Sometimes, however, when a
clerk calls upon them with bill for
the rooms that they didn't occupy they
are open to conviction Of wrongdoing
and settle the bill. The matter has rare
ly been one Of litigation, but the hotel
man has the best end Of 1t, and the pro-
prietors' national association intends to
make IL 30 understood whenever 1t is
necessary. Hotel Gazette.

Bits OF Wisdom.

A wise woman will have her husband
so we'll trained thar when she tells him
thing once it will be enough. Men
hate to have thing "dingdonged into
Them" as some of them elegantly ex-
press it. ! am a very even tempered
man, but / think my self praise would
suffer a severe shock If my wife told me
to order barrel of flour when we first
got up in the morning and then repeat
ed the command six times at the break
fast table, twice while was putting on
my overcoat and gloves and then fol-
lowed me to the gate to scream it out
after me as turned the corner. Men
hate that sort of nagging.
A wise man will not tell his wife any
lies, not even little white ones. If he
must lie, he will be safer and wiser If
he lies to some one less likely to uncov-
er his duplicity. A wife is regular
ferret in a matter Of this kind. / never
told mine harmless little fib in my
life that she didn't expose me before the
sun went down. It is wonderful what
clever intuition women have in this di-
rection. 1t is dumfounding to men who
are not always absolutely truthful. The
best of husbands often feel that there
are things they won't "bother wife
with" u little complications in their
business affairs or little extravaganza ex-
penditures in the way Of hotel dinner
or some other little harmless affair of
which they would just a little rather
not speak or in regard to which they
may equivocate. But they'd better tell
the truth and hold to it. 1t is always
best in the end, as men find out the
older they grow. have found IT out
with, trust, most Of the years Of my
life still before me.-Zenas Dane.

To a woman Not His Wife Produced In the

To a Woman Not His Wife Produced In the
Great Chicago Trial.
Chicago Sept. 6.-Since. Adolph Luet-
CERT was locked up in the county Jail
he managed to write series of inter-
esting letters to a woman whom he evil
IDENTIFY regarded as his best and closest
friend. This woman was Mrs. Christina
Feldt, 149 Clybourn avenue. a widow
from whom he borrowed money. Satur-
day she went on the witness stand and
did more than give a damaging account
of her conversations with him. She
placed the letters she had received from
the prisoner in the hands of the police
and identified them as witness TO
make them competent evidence In the
trial. There were six of them. None
contains a reference to his missing wife
except indirectly In assuming that Mrs.
Feldt knows that he is innocent of the
charge against him. and other refer
ences to his trial.
One letter contains the assertion that
when Luetgert Is out of Jail he will be
happy with the widow. In general,
however, the letters appear to have
been written for the purpose, as they
plainly show, of getting loan from
Mrs. Feldt to assist in paying lawyers
fees. 1t was Luetgert himself who
demanded that the letters be made evil
dence when they were shown. Mrs.
Feldt said that on various occasions
Luetgert said to her that he did not
care for his wife. and once said he
thought more of a domestic in the house
than Mrs. Luetgert. He also said that
he had many quarrels with his wife,
and when Mrs. Feldt asked him why
he did not secure a divorce he said that
as soon as his financial troubles were
| over he would settle with her." He
| repeated this several times, and called
his wife a carcass" and other names
| equally pleasant.
| Mrs. Feldt had to have an interpreter
and when she was interpreted as say
Ing that Luetgert told her he would
| settle with her." one of the jurors, a
| German, declared that the words were
! wrongly interpreted Ito Luetgert's dis
| advantage) and gave a much more
| innocent Interpretation. Judge Tuthill
| referred the matter to Judge Brentano,
who sat beside him, and Judge Brentano
sustained the court interpreter. Little
| Gottliebe Schimpke was put on the
stand and testified that she saw Luet-
CERT and his wife go into the sausage
| factory on the fatal night about IL
o'clock Her testimony was of little
use, however, for either through nervous
ness or fright she contradicted herself
| repeatedly on cross-examination.

Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming.

An apocryphal book called the "Less-
er Genesis" and we'll known to the
early Christian fathers tells wonder
full incidentin the life Of Seth, the third
son of Adam and Eve. When the goodly
Seth was about 40 years Of age, he was
"rapt" up into heaven by trio of an
gels and there told and shown what was
in store for mankind. Among other
things, the coming of the great deluge
was made known to him, as was also
the coming of the Saviour. When he re-
turned to earth, Seth told his parents
what had happened and Of what he had
seen and heard concerning the future
of the human race. "And Adam was
much grieyed when it was made known
to him that the world would be de-
stroyed by water on account of the
wickedness of his own children, but a
great peace and calmness came over him
when Seth told how the face Of the
earthswould again be repeopled. **#
His joy was exceedingly great when
Seth related what was in store in the
coming ages, and he was particularly
glad to know that redemption should
finally come through Jesus, the Christ. "
