CHINESE DRIED 0s aTIHt
Said to Be Very Good as Cooked by
 Chinameu

"A few years ago. said New Or my friend Lee Yip, who keeps what he calls a 'glocely stol, which is as near as he can come to grocery store. He gave me an excellent cigar and pres ently he said: You likee dly ostel?' What in the name of Conrucius is fdly ostel?' I asked before 1 realized that he was talking about dried oys- ters. Come. 1 show he replied, and opening the lid of big box, he took out handful of what looked exactly like oysters carved in mahogany. They were not shriveled and warped. like other dried foods. but were as plump and symmetrical as any welI-eondi- toned blvalve fresh from the deep sea. The only difference was that they were dark brown in color and as hard as bricks. When Lee Tip tossed them back into the box they rattled like handful of marbles. Of course. l was greatly surprised, and before I left l took pains to find out al. about them. The oysters are caught and prepared at the big native shrimper- ieS on the other side of the lake. The process is trade secret, but as nearly es l could gather from Lee they are spread on the tops of large sheds and exposed to the sun for several weeks. What prevents decomposition 1 do not know, for they come out of the opera tiOn as sweet and brown as nuts. Last night 1 tried some by special invitation in the backroom of laundry run by another Mongolan friend of mine. They were brought in in a 5oWl and formed sort of stew or saute, which was really delicious The oysters themselves were arm but exceedingly tender, and hat a peculiar peppery flavor. differing from anything else l ever tasted. The Chinaman who did the cooking told me he had simply boiled the dried oysters in water and add
 cd small strip of pork and season ing. When l tried to probe into the seasoning feature he suddenly lost command of English, so there 1 sus

A XTY-DOLLAR BILL.
Issued by Authority of the Continental
 Congress in ITS.

congress Iu l 11S.
 Spokane has the only S60 paper bill in United States currency known to be in existence. It was issued at the nlst session of the Continental Con- gress in ITS and carries with it all the crudity of that age It is a Decu- liar looking document, being a piece of greenish paper of much the same material as the present papef money, except that it is heayie3. In shape it is almost square, with dimensions oS about 4E312 inches. On one side of the bill .5 written the receipt, which is as follows: This bill entities the bearer 70 receive 60 Spanish milled Collars for value received in gold or silver, ac. 1or&inS to a resolution passed by Con- gra#a at Philadelphia. Sept. 26, IT'S" On the back of the bill is drawn a bow MiSh a set arrow. Along the margin the value of the bill is again printed. and at one side the words, Printed, Hall & Sellers, ITS. At the bottom ot the face is the signature of someone iA authority. The letters have so faded out that it is almost impossible to follow the characters. Some have imagined they could trace the sign.a ture Ot George Washington upon those lines, but others could not imagine what authority he had to distribute money at that date. The rare bill is the property of Otto Fieehtl of the fiechtl quartet of the Occur d'Alene. It was presented to him at the Charles ton earthquake in 1SS6 for the saving af an Irishman's life. The open hearted act of the big German toward his hereditary enemy so oYercame the man from Erin's isle that he gave him the only article of value lie possessed MT. Fiechtl was desirous of ascertain ing the true value If the bill and in 1893 sent it to Washington, where it was ke9t for six months while the treasury department investigated the issuance of the bill. IL was adjudged legal, as the issuance of $60 bills ar that time W2e known D have been made, thoNeh tl4i.s is -tae oltly one which has IT. aeea rea.zz! to the treasury department The piece of money has considerable value outside of the amount upon it's face The Spokane man now in possession of the relic has refused an offer of $1 ,000 for it, and says no price could induce him to part with it.

IN UPPER BURMA
Weddings and Funerals Are Bunched
 and Celebrated Together.

The Karens of Upper Burma not only delay their weddings till they can cele- brate 20 or 30 at once, but make the same occasion serve for their funerals as we'll When a man dies his bod> is cremated and the ashes are kept until the tiT te for the formal funeral, When bad harvest or prolonged rainy season occasions the need of a little excitement. and some enthusiast arranges a burial wedding, the ashes are arranged along low, narrow plat form, while the men stand on one side, the women on the other. There ar6 no mourners, for the dead men have been forgotten during the convenient interval, and the dresses suggest only the pleasanter side of the double func. tion. Proceedings are commenced by . sort of poetic competition between the men and the fairest maid. If the lat ter is not satisfied with the cOmpli ments paid her she avoids the embar- rassment of direct refusal by bidding her suitor come for her before he is awake" In this ease he consoles hlm- self with a pipe, and, after short in terval, transfers his address to some less exacting lady As soon as the young people are equally paired off the elders compete for the more val uabe portion of the dead mans prop erty. Jewels or weapons are set swing ing by string while the claimants pass in single file The 0n5 who is nearest when the pendulum stops swinging secures whatever is attached to it. When each has thus secured a memento of the day the rest is handa! over to the children to be smashed up with all the crockery of the deceased and buried with their ashes on some neighboring hill

Bagging aPeer's Calf.

The moors of Yorkshire and Scot land have been alive with shooters The crack of the gun has been heard on every hand. for grouse shooting has opened for the year. During the shoot ing season in Great Britain accidents are comparatively rare, considering the irst-class opportunities to blow off companions head or drill hole through his back. But accidents do happen and the first man to be shot this season was Lord Binning. The noble lord is a bit of a wag and even when half his leg was perforated with shot from his own gun and he was sitting against hedge waiting for d stretcher to be brought his wit did not desert him, for, as the doctor was binding up his wounds he remarked: "T came out to kill grouse-but.

Comparison In visual Powet.

The widespread impression that peo- pie living in primitive condition possess more acute vision than civil- ized men enjoy receives little sup port from the investigations of Dr. Rivers during the recent British ex- petition to Torres straits and New Guinea. The visual powers of the >eople there were found to be superior to those of normal Europeans, al- though the degree of superiority was not great. The natives of Torres straits could sec better in the dark than most Europeans can. Their sense of touch was also slightly su- perior, and in the discrimination of weight they were more accurate than a practiced European. D.. Rivers as cribes this acuteness of vision to their habits of constant observation.-Tit- Bits

killed at Missionary Ridge The mother
took up the struggle for existence, and
hard indeed was the battle.

rural districts and attended the dis

statement, he was an energetic, mis-

Dr.. Naylor taught in the district
schools of his native county five years,
spending what he earned each winter
in attending the spring and fall terms
at Marietta Academy. His aim was
to acquire u classical education; but
the strain was too great, and his
health gave way. After few months
rest, he took up the study Of medicine.
Three years he spent IN the drug store
at Babylon, and graduated at Staring
Medical College, Columbus, o., In 1856.
He returned to Babylon, and enter

and, except for one year spent on the
road for an eastern drug firm, he has
been actively in practice in his native

DR.. Naylor began to write for the
press about ten or twelve years ago,

very rarely hears about. Besides the

more Akron people are taking advan-

1t is figured that there is a call for
an ambulance on an average of at
least once day the year round, and
there are great many patients who
go and come by other methods of
transportation. The hospital is usu,

Italians more than any other people
value tomatoes, and each one that
comes to perfection is as carefully tend
ed as though 1t were an apple OF gold.
Not only do the housewives delight In
the fresh vegetables themselves, but,
generally speaking, those home tended
are better than any purchased at the
market, and so each one is jealousy
saved to make tomatoe sauce for the
spaghetti, without which no Italian
Sunday would he Sunday. One soapbox
gardener one season sold enough toma-
toes to give her quite little pin money.
No one who knows the Italian well Will
be surprised to learn that many OF the

life, and even the little Italian girls
know how to stuff and cook them In a
dozen different ways that tempt tue
