Hunger is one Of the maineprings Of
progress. At its imperative command
the flint was chipped into the arrow
head the dart, the spear. In its honor
the net was woven, the hoe was made
and the soil broken. To appease its
cravings the wild bull is broken to the
yoke. the forests are felled. the ditch
is dug through the marsh.
On its errauds the ship is launched on
the perilous deep and the band sent out
upon the warpath. Into its service
have been impressed the winds Of
heaven, the steam wreaths of the cal

lightning. It is the real Aladdin's lamp
of civilization. The ceascless westward
flow of the human stream and the
march Of the "star Of empire" have
been at the behest of its penii. Whether
il be born Of barren soil and cruel
sky. or Of the pressure Of overpopula-

molding the destinies of the nations.

TO shut his mouth. There is only one
correct way TO accomplish this, how
ever and.it is done in this fashion: The
new y-dredged oysters are placed in
water; then occasionally during the
day the water is run off. leaving the
oysters uncovered and otherwise incora-
NODDED. During the first time the ovg-
ters are uncovered n great number Of

ably feel very uncomfortable until the
water covers them again. After n few
lessons OF this kind the oysters slowly
learn not TO open their shells when they
are expected to keep them closed.-N
