IMITATION OYSTERS.
Showing How Far Paris is From the
Chesapeake.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
1.-THE most singular thing saw while In
Paris" said a gentleman who has just re-
turned from Europe to a Star reporter,
was artificial oysters. l don't mean what
are called mock oysters-that Is, meat
done up in a patty or a potple-but the
real bivalve intended to serve raw. And
as far as looks go, you would say at a
glance that they were genuine American
oysters, but when you came to eat one
the difference would be perceptble at
once. How they are made and what ma
terials are used in their manufacture is
a mystery which l did not solve but It
Is certain that a great deal of money is
made by the producers. The usual price
paid for these artificial oysters is 3 cents
each, or 30 cents a dozen, and sometimes
in the second-class restaurants, they are
TO be had for cents each, though they
are not apt to be very fresh at that price
You order a plate on the half shell, and
when the waiter brings them to you they
look as nice as the real oyster that you
get in the best New York oyster house.
If you are not a good judge Of oysters you
will eat them with your wine and go away
without asking any questions
THE only really genuine thing about
them Is the shells The manufacturers,
was told, buy secondhand shells from the
restaurant keepers at a small expense, and
with a harmless and tasteless paste fast
en- the spurious oyster In it's place. Only
one-half a shell is used for the purpose,
and in that shape the fraud oysters are
packed in tiers in boxes and baskets, which
are displayed in windows, on counters, or
on shelves. Others TO be served without
the shells are put up In cans, or In glass
jars containing from twenty-five to one
hundred. The limitations" are consumed
in such large quantities that the dealers
In real oysters are urging the restaurant
and hotel keepers to break up their shells
as fast as their contents are eaten, and
even pay the cooks and walters literally
TO pound them to pieces, so that the maxi
ers of the artificial article will have a
limited supply of shells.'

THE G. AND A. BONDHOLDERs.
VIII Begin Their Trip Over the Road
Tomorrow Morning.

IO-mOEEOW
The party of the Georgia and Alabama
bondholders that is to make tour of in
spection over the road, is expected to ar
rive here tomorrow morning. 1t is not
thought that the party will be very large.
Several of those, who were expected will
not make the trip. These are the gentle
men of Baltimore, whose presence was
particularly desired. Parties from Rich
mond will accompany President John
Shelton Williams on the trip. The Savan-
nah directors have been invited to go, and
it is probable that several of them will &C
cept the invitation.
The special train with the officials and
bondholders win leave here tomorrow
morning. Fitzgerald and Ocilla, the ter
minus of one of the new branches of the
road, will be visited, as VIII also Ameri-
Gus. A stop will be made at Columbus to-
morrow night, and the next morning the
party will proceed to Montgomery, the
western terminus of the road. Mont
gomery will be left on Saturday night for
the return to Savannah. Sunday will be
spent here, and that night the bondhold-
ers will leave for their homes.
An interesting feature of the trip will
be the inspection of the new shops at
Americas. These have just been complet-
ed, and they represent the expenditure of
a nice round sum. The Ocilla extension
will be gone over for the first time by
nearly all of the party, and to many of
them the trip will be the first ever taken
over the line.
1t is said that the yellow fever has been
the cause of some of those, who were ex-
pected deciding that they would not &C
company the party. While they know that
the disease is not to be found in any of the
territory penetrated by the Georgia and
Alabama, they seem to feel a sort of
dread of getting into anything like proxim-
fty to it.

ly child. 1t rests with every woman wheth-
er her baby shall be healthy and happy, or
puny and miserable. If during the period
preceding maternity a woman takes proper
care of the organs upon which the perpetu-
alton of the race depends, she insures the
health of herself and child. It is easy to do
this. The proper medicine is at hand.
Over 10000 women have testified in writ
ing to the value of it.
The organs that make wifehood and moth
erhood possible are directly acted upon by
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription 1t
makes them strong and healthy. 1t cures
all weakness and disease. 1t prepares for
maternity. 1t does away with the discom-
forts of the expectant period. 1t insures
baby's health and makes its advent easy
and almost painless Druggists sell more
of the Favorite Prescription " than of all
other similar medicines combined
Il am anxious to add my testimonial to your
'Favorite Prescription, writes Mrs c. G. Bran
don, of Fort Grant, Graham Co., Arz. :" I had
been using the Prescription for several months
previous to my confinement, and l am sure I
have been benefited greatly from the time COM
menced to use it. 1 feel fully as we'll as ever I
did in my life Up to the very day when the
baby was born did all my own homework; and
during confinement had not the least symptoms
of fever. The ordeal was nothing to what
1 expected"
The woman who owns a copy of Dr.
Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser
probably does not realize at once all that
she gave in exchange for it. There was the
price of $3.50 That paid for the large vol
une of 1908 pages. Then, as day by day
she looked into these pages, one by one she
gave away her anxieties for her family's
health. She learned how to make her chill
dren well. In the chapters especially treat
ing of her own weaknesses, she learned the
causes and the cures. $50, 600 copies have

DIRTY PAPER MONEY.
The People should Demand Clean.
Wholesome HiIIS

Wholesome BiIIs.
Editor Morning News: Your article on
the subject of dirty paper money strikes
a sympathetic chord in the hearts of all
decent people Why are we Americans
alone of the people of civilized countries
condemned to the use of money, which, if
not dangerous to health, is at least dis
gushing to the sense of smell, of sight, of
touch? But it is not all Americans, Mr..
Editors, who are so tried. You see no
dirty money in the populous money cen
tiers. There they have only to send their
ragged bills around the corner to be eX-
changed for clean, fresh notes. Here our
banks-often struggling for the means to
pay a dividend-have to pay eXpressage
on every bill sent on 10 the treasury for
redemption. Another advantage to wealth
in the concentration of wealth! But We
sufferers from filthy currency if poorer
are at least more numerous than our hap
pier fellow citizens, and if every western
and southern journal whose constituents
resent the unequal condition of affairs,
would initiate your public spirit and call
public attention to this matter, popular
sentiment would soon be aroused to point
where it would be easy to put through
congress a bill compelling the government
TO pay all charges on money sent to it for
redemption. And to such a demand the
government could make no defense. Its
profit on notes destroyed by fire or ire
trievably lost must be enormous, and If
that profit affords margin sufficient to
relieve our decent citizens-and especially
our women-from the necessity of hand
ling stuff which is as dangerous as. it is
disgusting, we ought surely to agitate for
a remedy until we get it. Hy. B. King.

mer may keep himself ahoat by holding a
very small piece of wood i'm each hand

which ran around under his chin. When
he grew tired and needed a rest, he would
turn ON his back and sink deep into the
water. The cork float under his head was
almost sufficient to buoy him up.

TIE Acc of Deer.

From Chambers Journal.
Romance has played prominent part
with regard to the longevity of deer.
What says the Highland adage?
Thrice the age of dog is that of a
horse,
Thrice the age of a horse is that of a
man,
Thrice the age of a man is that of deer.
Thrice the age of a deer is that of an
eagle,
Thrice the age of an eagle is that of. an
oak tree.
This is to assign to the deer period
of more than 200 years; and the es-
innate is supported by many highly cir
cumstantial stories. Thus Capt. McDon-
aid of Tulloch, who died in 1776, aged SO
years, is said to have known the white
hind of Loeb Treig for fifty years, his
father for a like period before him, and
his grandfather for sixty years before
that. So, i'm 1926, Mcdonald of Glengarry Is
reported to have killed a deer which bore
a mark on the ear identical with that
made on all the calves he could catch by
Even MacIan-Og, who had been dead for
$50 years. Analogous stories, 1t may be
noted, are told IN countries on the contl-
nent of Europe, where deer are to be
found in any number. But alas! the gem
eral opinion among experts would seem
that thirty years or thereabouts is the
limit of a deer's life
