HOW TO sHUCK OYSTERS
Out Here, However, We Get Them
Already Shucked

Epicures of the eastern shores Of Mary
land who know the oyster and his habits,
from long experience with him in his ma
tive haunts, have issued an edict against
the abuse OF the saltwater oyster so COM
monty practiced by those who throw him
into vessel Of fresh water as fast as he
Is shucked. This, 1t is claimed, Is dis
graceful treatment of a luscious bivalye
and destroys in him the very qualities of
soltdity and flavor that his natural devel-
opment gives him. The general impression
that an oyster dies when 1t is taken from
the shell Is refuted, and the explanation
given that his death is a slow one; con-
sequently, when he Is thrown into fresh
water he drinks until he becomes intoxi-
Gated, swells up with unnatural pride and
becomes unfit to eat The oyster should be
preserved in his own Juice. Residents of
the eastern shore, in order to insure this,
buy all their oysters In the she'll and have
them shucked at home by an experienced
hand. They claim that they are the only
people who really know what a good
Maryland oyster is They deserve the
gratitude Of the public for the information
they have vouchsafed 1t on the oyster
question, for now thousands of those who
dWelt In ignorance can enjoy the benefit
OF valuable knowledge concerning the
oyster. 1t has generally been thought that
he was good thing, no matter what the
conditions surrounding his treatment, and
to know that he is a better thing than a
majority of the people have ever had any
idea of Is gratifying revelation to man.
Kind. Shuck us few gallons, please, and
let them be In their own Juice, without q
drop OF fresh water to spoil the flavor ma
ture has given him.-Baltimore News.

Johnstone Jones and Fusion

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
The Record two days ago had an interview
with Gen. Johnstone Jones, in which he
repudiates the principles Of fusion and
SAYS he will vote for Mr.. Gage.
Four years ago Mr. Jones. when the
hope of getting an Office was ahead of him,
was only too glad to run on the fusion
ticket At that time he simply luxuriated
in the odor of the "slop bucket" tribe and
was vociferous in his advocacy of fusion
of all the elements against the Republican
party. Fusion didn't pay with him, and
now he is against all sorts Of fusion. Was
success more important to him then than
the principles of the Democratic party?
