Try Smelling oysters.

'"The best oyster experts that | know
off, said the captain of an oyster boat to
a Washington Star reporter, Judge an
oyster by the smell instead Of by the
taste. There is something about the
smell of an oyster that indicates its con
dition to me much palmer than does the
taste. People buy them and eat them
probably on account of their taste. SO
also do they buy tea, coffee and the
various grades of whisky and brandy
for their taste, but all experts on those
things pass upon them entirely by their
smell. The professional tea-taster or
whisky-taster, SO called never tastes
them, but simply arrives at their taste
by their peculiarities of flavor, or, to
speak plainly, smell.
Il can tell what price load of oys-
tiers will be rated at when they arrive
at the wharf here by opening up the
hold of the boat and smelling. In eight
cases out of ten | am right. 1t strikes
oystermen as strange when they see per-
sons going about from boat to boat as
they lie at the wharf tasting oysters be-
fore they conclude to buy Taste is all
right, but if they don't smell right they
will never taste right"

Few people in these busy days are will
ing to live without q calendar to mark
the passing of time. This fact, no doubt,
accounts for the calendars of all kinds,
colors, shapes and sizes which flood the
mails at this season. Among them all
the one that best suits us is that issued
by N. w. Aver & Son, the Keeping

just received our new copy and are fixed
for 1897. It is not difficult to see why
this calendar is SO great a favorite. The
figures on it are large enough to be read
across room: it's handsome appearance
makes it worthy of a place in the best
furnished office or library, while it is bust
nesslike all the way through. The pub
fishers state that the demand for this
calendar has always exceeded the sup
ply. This led them years ago to place
upon it a nominal price-25 cents, on re-
ceipt of which it is sent. postpaid and
securely hacked, to any address.

Presence of Mind.

On a first night at the Burnley theater,
a well-known comedian once displayed re-
markable presence of mind. He was
alone on the stage, and was supposed to
be expecting anxiously the arrival Of a
friend.
He comes. he exclaimed. looking off
on the left. Joy! had been awaiting
him so impatiently.'

who? There was no time for hesitation;
and the veteran players ready wit came

BULL AGAINST RHINoCERos.
A Terrible Fight Between the Animals,
in Which the Bull COnQuers.

in Which the Bull Conquers.
When l was on the Zulu frontier, said
traveller recently, stopped for week
with a native, splendid fellow, who had
a fine farm. Among other animals he
had a young bull called Hulo, which he
and his children believed could vanquish
any beast on earth. Hulo was a great
pet and not in the least vicious, SO l was
surprised on the second evening of my
stay to see Hulo shifting the air and paw
ing the ground in evident rage. | was
about to ask what it meant, when out of
the forest came an ugly rhinoceros.
My host and hurried for our guns and
Hulo dashed at the beast with dauntless
courage. A rush, a crash and the bull
was hurled twenty feet. Fortunately
the horn of his enemy had not caught
him and the first rush had taught him
a lesson. His horns were like sharp
swords, but the hide of the rhinoceros
is remarkably thick and the young bull
soon showed signs of fatigue. So he
resorted to strategy and lodged behind
his clumsy foe, giving him vicious stabs
in the thighs. This was rapidly weak
ening the rhinoceros, and just at this
time we found some steel bullets, leaden
bullets having no effect on this animal,
and quickly completed the work Hulo
began. Then the bull stood on the car
cass and beloved his joy.-London

a TALK ON DYSPEPSIA.
A Disease of Civiliza tion-Its Symp-
tOms-How to Cure 1t.

"A D1SGa9C OF A1V1AIAd ClOAA-ACS ~ DAR-
toms-How to Cure 1t.
Dyspepsia is said to be disease OF
civilization. Savages know nothing
about it. The disease has become do
mesticated in America and we as 4
people have threatened to monopolize
it. Few disorders infiict upon their
victims greater suffering, yet dyspep-
STA is hot particularly dangerous and
seldom causes death. 1t permits the
sufferer to linger in misery for the al
lotted term Of life.
The complaint usually begins with
sense Of fullness, tightness and weight
in the stomach after meals, and q d.
minished or lost appetite. Flatulency
and sour stomach are also common, and
there is often nervousness, vomiting
and general distress. Dizziness is also
prominent symptom, and an "all
gone" feeling in the stomach. Some
times the patient has a bad taste in the
mouth, headache, heartburn and palpi-
tation.
Dyspepsia is the result Of disturbed
ach and digestive organs. The cure
consists in restoring these functions.
If the stomach is too weak to digest
food it must be strengthened. Ihls
must be done through the blood, which
is the medium that carries strength anG
nourishment to all the organs. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
Purifier and it cures dyspepsia by pur-
flying and enriching the blood, COM
bined with it's direct action upon the
stomach and it's secretions. Perhaps
in no way has Hoods Sarsaparilla re-
lieved greater suffering than in it's cures
OF dyspepsia, which are indeed legion.
If you are suffering from this disease.
give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial at
once. 1t will tone and strengthen your
stomach, give you an appetite and
strength and relieve the pains and mis-
cries Of dyspepsia.

SAW GARRISON MoBBED.
4 Michigan Man Who Witnessed the Ill

Treatment of the Great AbOlitionist.
DR.. Charles X. Bartlett of Battle
Greek is the only man in Michigan, it
not in the Western states, who was an
eyewitness to that famous anti-slavery
event, sthe mobbing of William Lloyd
Garrison in Boston. 1t was one day i'll
the fall of 1885 when the clerks in the
store were greatly surprised and excited
q great cOmmOtion on the street. Rush
ing to the door they saw bowling mob
of men and boys rushing through Wash,
ingtOn street into Dock square, dragging
along a man with a rope around his neck.
They were yelling and bowling like Com
anche Indians. The man was hatleSs.
The doctor particularly remembers the
wild, appealing look on the face Of the
man. The mob stopped at pump on the
opposite side of the square, and holding
him under the spout, commenced pumping
water on his head, after which the crowd
disappeared up Brattle street with the
man, and that was the last the doctor
saw of him. AS the crowd passed along
the cry went up: That is Garrison, the
abolitionist," and the people all seemed
to iDdorse the treatment the croNaS gave
him, and said: Served his right" This
was not a mob as generally pictured, COM
posed of ill-clad, ignorant men, but made
up entirely, except the boys who followed
in the wake, of we'll dressed and intelli-
gent appearing men.

Leaving the origin and history Of
Thanksgiving Day out OF the account, let
us took at the meaning and use Of the
day as now observed; and first Of all, let
the principle be accepted, that benefits
received demand corresponding graft
tude in return. No one, whose opinions
are worth considering, will call in ques-
ton the correctness OF this principle.
God has, this year, certainly conferred
rich benefits on the people OF this couR-
try: therefore we, as a nation as well as
individuals, should give thanks TO His
Holy Name. Certain things belong TO
Thanksgiving Day that ought TO be kept
in, mind; but that ann be discussed In
this article.
]. Thanksgiving, whether personal or
national, must be q voluntary act. Cum
pulsion is wholly out OF the question.
2 Thanksgiving cannot be rendered 10
God by any one who either denes His
existence. or the fact that He Is the glvef
OF every good and perfect gift.
., II Is right and proper that all be-
fieving people should assemble In their
respective places Of worship, and so unite
with each other. all over the land. in the
expression Of their gratitude.

but very pleasant. for the members o;
families and friends to unite In social
intercourse and enjoyment. under rea-
sonaole limits.
