Oyster q Foot Long.

If reports are to be believed, we are
soon to have something entirely new In
the culinary line. The Yezo oysters Of
Japan, which have as much of a repu-
tation In Japan as blue points have on
this side of the globe, are to be trans
planted to America. These oysters
grow to foot In length. and they will
work revolution in the culinary de-
partments of American households.
For some time good cooks have been

that the Japanese themselves eat them

from raw oysters to fish, and but for
the prejudice other people might agree
with them. But we are not to get the
big oysters in this part Of the country
SO soon that we need speculate upon
what we will do with them. They are
to be planted in the tidewaters OF
washington and Oregon. and 1t will be
some time before we shall have Yezo
oysters shipped with our Californis
fruits.-Chicago Chronicle.

the only kind of a man I've ever
known to retire" from Wall street
during an experience Of nearly 40
years. OF course If he can raise a few
dollars he'll be right back again.
"'Then there's the man who has
cleaned up a neat little fortune on
some clever deal and taken a solemn

again. He always comes back.

about six feet long. five feet wide and
high enough for man to stand up in
them.
These tents are covered with cloth,
heated by stove and lighted usually
by a lantern. | have known the tenn

cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide is cut In the ice and the
tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines
attached to pole fastened to the
plates of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during fishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and

They Knew II Better.
In the days when things were wide

the other side of Canal street, where
some pretty fat pigeons were frequent
ly plucked. While this was going on
broken down sport formed the habit
of dropping in and securing share of
the plumber by simply betting the re-
verse of the victim. The latter, for in
stance, would bet $50 one way on the
ace, and the old sport. knowing posi-
lively that the dupe would lose, would
bet So the other way on the same card.
In order to secure the $50 the dealer
his little five, and that sort of thing
happened almost every time a fresh
fool was piloted into the establishment.
OF course the sharpers who ran the
game regarded this proceeding on the
old sports part as most outrageous

Accordingly they laid their heads to-

who had all the appearances of very
yerdant planter, was steered into the
place, and right behind him, as usual,
came the old sport, seeming rich pick

to be more than half tipsy. pulled out q

Conversation was proceeding at great
rate. 1t was like pink tea or a ses-

his arms an immense cake three or
four decks high and frosted over from
pit to dome, as they say Of a theater.
There was profusion of flowers by
way of decoration. and delicate tracer
les of gauzy lace completed the en-
bellishments. The cake was so large
that the negro could scarcely carry 1t.
The cake told the whole story of the
flowers, the flower girls and the ban

Any article, whatever its merit,
must be made known to the public by
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for q
thing, cannot do everything. 1t may
create sale for q time, but in order
10 insure lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Il has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact, and the result Is that there
Is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills In the
world, and this has been the case for
years
The reason for this Is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Herexperience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else In the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.
