R5 600 For Twenty Words.

One day Andrew Carnegie at Pitts
burg called up one of his New York
lawyers by long distance telephone.
The steelmaker wanted to ask
question, but could not make himself
understood clearly over the telephone,
so he asked the lawyer to come to
Pittsburg.
The lawyer said he had an important
appointment in New York next day and
could not get away.
"Come over now, then" Mr. Carnegie
said.

yer.

which came back from Pittsburg.
So the lawyer engaged a special
train, went to Pittsburg and saw Mr.
Carnegie.
The steelmaker asked the lawyers
advice as to whether the question trou-

The lawyer answered, ''No."
THANK you," said Mr.. Carnegie
"Good night"
The lawyer had said less than 20
words, for which he received $1,000,
said "Good night, Mr.. Carnegie" and
took a special train back to New York
in time to keep his appointment next
day.-New York Herald.

OPENING OYSTERS.
A New England Man Tells How II
should Ee Done.

people around New York do not seem
to understand opening oysters said the
New England man, while in the most
insignificant places in Rhode Island or
Massachusetts there are experts. Here
you all have q regular instrument for
il, while in New England a man can open
an oyster with nothing but knife and do
it quicker than any one can eat them,
without breaking the shell. Here you
have u block of lignum vitR, with cold
chisel or something Of that nature stand
ing M in the center On that the man
breaks the edge of the oyster shells and
the prizes them open with his knife.
Now. my friend Aleck gave me lessons
in opening oysters, and | think | could
do it myself better than any one | have
seen try it around here. Aleck lived in
small town where he kept a very small
market, in which he sold meat on meat
days and fish on Fridays and oysters all
the week through.
ITO open oysters as Aleck did you lay
the oyster with the rounded half of the
shell in the hollow of your left hand with
the hinge to the wrist. Down about an
inch or an inch and q half from tho
hinge is what Aleck called an eye, and in
ll1L he NOulu lUSCIl HIS hUlIp, give
quick upward motion, and the upper
shell was off in jiTy, the oyster lying
as clean as possible in the hollow she'll
1t was out if it had to come out with an
other quick motion Of the knife. There is
really only q little knack to it.
There was never an oyster that AIeck
could not open and with his eyes open or
shut, drunk or sober. Aleck was proud
| of his expertuess as an oyster Opener in
n county of oyster openers, and il WIS
when he was drunk that he was most
| likely to give exhibitions. Aleck was one
of those men who are never drunk in
their legs. The liquor made him talk,
and he had an amiable desire to show
| off
"On the occasions of his special sprees
he was likely to take himself out Of
town to Boston or Providence, and once
he got as far away from home as Chica-
go. His habit when he reached q strange
place was to drop into an oyster place
and tell the man opening oysters that he
| didn't know anything about his busi-
ness. Aleck in his best clothes did not
have the appearance of being in the
oyster opening business. The result
would be that there would be a chal-
| lenge and Aleck would always come
out ahead. He could open oysters behind
his back almost as quickly as he could
holding them in sight. New York

OUR SENSITIVE SKIN.
Except For Cutting 1t, Operations
WonId BE Practically Painless.


In human beings the sensitiveness Of
the internal organs is very small as com
pared with that Of the skin. Examples
of this are familiar to every one. While
In health no one knows anything of his
"inside." He has no sensations from it.
Even disease Of very serious kind can
and often does go on for years in the in
ternal organs without causing any sensa-
ton. The nerves of the internal organs
are much more concerned with regulating
functions and controlling the size Of the
blood vessels than with the conveyance
OF sensory impressions to the brain. Life
would, in fact, be unbearable if the func'
tions of animal life in normal condition
caused sensation, and they would cause
II IL the organs were richly supplied with
sensory nerves.
Every surgeon knows, for example,
that the human intestine is, when its
muscular coat is at rest almost as in
sensitive as the hair or nails. In the op-
Grafton of opening the intestine, often re-
quired In the presence of malignant dis
ease. the cut in the skin and the business
OF fixing the gut to the skin would be

patient is told to shut his eyes, and ne
