THE PRICES OF

tweivc-lneh randoms, 10 feet AMI
above. are selling fer siT.A. mer-
charitable boards sis and onthoards
at 81 while the parties to the
agreement consider these prices -
lower than the market warrants.
consumers claim that they are about
as algh as they ought to be expected
20 pay. and are not likely to take
kindly a another advance. So rapid
have been the advances that hayers
have had hard work ke~ping up With
them. This Was illustrated IN the
case OF the buyer % a large lumber
conee-n who was here last week buv-
ing wood far his Arm. He cculd not

The Age Of an Oyster.

1t is just as easy to tell the age Of an
oyster by looking at it's shell as it is to
ascertain the age of horse by examin-
ing it's teeth, or a tree by inspecting
the circles revealed by the az or saw
when it is laid low. When the oyster is
6 months old, it is as big as dime
when year old, it will cover a silver
half dollar, and when 2 years old, will
be about the circumference Of silver
dollar.
The oyster, unlike the crab, is not
obliged to seek new quarters or build a
new house every time he grows appre-
ciably. The extensions that he puts on
his house are clearly marked by q well
defined ridge.
Oysters are esteemed to be at their
best when between 4 and years Of age,
and the planters endeavor to protect the
beds for that length Of time. Consoien-
tious oyster men-that is, men who are
not inclined to kill the goose that lays
the golden egg-always return to the
bed oysters that are too young, but in
case a patriarch is brought up. over
whose shell the tides of from s to 10
winters and summers have ebbed and
flowed, he is sent to market, where he
is put at the bottom of the heap and
sold with his younger and more luscious
companions.-Pearson's Weekly.

Presiden Mellen of the Northern Paci
fic, was in Winnipeg, Monday conferring
with the business people, regarding the
reconstruction of the Manitoba hotel tina,
was recently burned. There is a big
effort made on the part of the citizens ol
Winnipeg to have the company rebuild,
but the management seems reluctant on
account of the Manitoba never paying
running expenses until the last year or so.
One of the dailies, after the fire, said
that lit is now fully realized the value OF
Northern Pacific enterprise. If certain
strong c. P. R. sentiment had SAID less
against that company in the first place it
is probable that from the ruins of the
Manitoba hotel would arise grander
structure than the one destroyed, with
out any effect on the part of the citizens
OF Winnipeg, for such is Northern Paci-
6c enterprise.
