"The best oyster experts that l know
of" said the captain of an oyster boat,
Judge an oyster by the smell, instead
of by the taste. There is something
about the smell of any oyster that indi-
Gates its condition 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 ex-
perts on those things pass upon them
entirely by their smell. The professional
tea faster or whisky faster, so called,
never tastes them, but simply arrives at
their taste by their peculiarities of fla
yor, or, to speak plainly, smell.

tiers will be rated at when they arrive at

out Of ten l am right. 1t strikes oyster
men as strange when they see persons
going about from boat to boat, as they
lie at the wharf, tasting oysters before
they conclude to buy. Taste is all right,
but if they don't smell right they will
never taste right. "-Washington Star.

The old story of Prometheus is q parable
Prometheus was on terms OF intimacy with
the gods. From them he stole fire, and
gave it to men. For this sin he was bound
to the rocks of Mount Caucasus, and vul-
lures were set upon him. They only ate
his liver This grew again as fast as it was
pecked away. Are his sufferings to be
imagined?
Take a modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without fire.
In cooking and eating the mischief lies.
The stomach is ovcrtasked, the bowels be-
come clogged, they can not dispose of the
food that is given them. The impurities
back up on the liver. Then come the vul-
tures-the torments OF diseased liver.

ley and drove them about the country,
while the two Populisss who had voted
for Bryan looked on. They made great
celebration of the occasion, the voters on
the wrong side seeming to enter into the
spirit of thing with as much zest as the
voiers on the majority side.
But the grand blowout for Dudley
township came on Christmas, when the
twelve voters Of the township were enter
tanned at the expense of General Simon
Il. Buckner, of Kentucky, whose compli-
ments were presented to the people of the
township through the six Democratic
voters. General Buckner, week or so
before Christmas, sent to County Clerk
Cave, the leader of the Democratic hosts
of Dudley township, p gallons of the best
kentucky whisky that money could buy
and a check for $50, with the request that
the six Democratic voters give them
selves Christmas dinner and invite
their late opponents TO participate in it.
Twenty-Five gallons of liquor and $50
dinner was more than the population Of
Dudley township-men, women and
children, and dogs-cOuld destroy in
one day, so number of friends from ad-
joining townships were invited to join in
the feasting and festivities. Mrs. Mark
Akers and Mrs. Sarah Henthorpe were
appointed a committee of arrangements
and they provided such a dinner as will
be the talk of Dudley township for years.
After the turkey and trimmings were
served, the punch dispensed and General
Buckners health drunk in bumpers
thereof, the floor was cleared and the
grown folks danced, while the children
regaled themselves with games.
Thus it occurs that at least one town.
ship in the once rank anti-SOuthern
State of Kansas is ready at a moments
notice to give its unanimous vote in favor
of Southern General for anything that
he may desire.
