oyster.

oyster.
This being the oyster season all in
formation concerning that sea animal
known TO the illiterate as the luscious
bivalve" is in order. We know that
oysters sometimes give peorle typhoid
fever, taste strongly Of oil il scooped
up in the Staten Island Kills, are
whitened and fattened for the New
York market by being kept in fresh
water and fed on corn meal; that their
flavor is spoiled by the process and, in
short, a lot of things about them which
were, perhaps, just as well that We did
not know. At present a discussion is
going on as to how long an oyster lives
provided he is let live. Prof. Mobius,
German authority on the subject,
says that the Schleswlg oysters which
they eat in North Germany are from
seven to ten years old when they come
into the market, and he has seen some
which were between twenty-five and
thirty years old, though he acknowl.
edges that oysters even twenty-five
years old are rare. Bertram in his
Harvest of the Sea" says that an
oyster is in its prime when it is FIVE
years old. Prof. s. p. Woodward as
serts that an oyster on artificial
ground does not arrive at maturity un-
til 1t is between FIVE and seven years
old but those grown in natural beds
mature at the age Of four. 1t is be-
lieved that an oyster, left to its nat
ural chances, would be likely to arrive
at an extreme old age. Fossil oyster
shells have been found which were
nine inches thick, from which 1t is
computed that the oyster must have
been more than hundred years old
at the time of its death. The age Of
an oyster is determined by the outside
of its shell, the successive layers or
plates overlapping each other, mark
ing a years growth each. Up to the
time Of the oysters maturity these
Shoots" as they technically are called,
are regular. but after that period they
become irregular and are piled one
over the other so that the shell be-
comes more thickened and bulky and
the age marks more confused.-New

AS a victim OF hard luck, a French
provision dealer, whose shop is in the
Faubourg Montmartre, Paris, is en-
titled TO first place.
Being pressed for ready money a
few days ago he sold for a moderate
sum Vile DE Paris lottery bond Of
che 1869 Issue. Two days later, when
the drawing took place, he learned, to
his profound disgust, that the bond he
had parted with had brought in s40.-

Slippery SidewalIks.

Slippery sidewalks that have been
the rule for the past few mornings
have tended to bring out emphatically
one of the peculiar sides of human ma
ture. No matter how much the fall
Injuries a man physically, it seems as
nothing to the damage to his self-es-
TEEN IL perchance his misfortune hap
pens to be witnessed by some one else
The first thing the unfortunate does
after picking himself up is to look all
about him with an idlotic smile on his
face just as if he took the whole
thing as joke, but anxious to see if
anyone has seen his tumble.
If there happens to be some ono
near by who has witnessed the fall the
smile vanishes and there is a display
Of temper that is ludicrous. 1t is his
hat that suffers, 1t is pounded in
stead of brushed, as If that hat was
responsible for the humiliation, OF as
if he could get square with the hat
by a trough house" sort of brushing.
If, however, no one-is in sight, and no
face is seen at a window, the unfor-
tunate goes his way after few pre-
liminary limps, as if the thing was a
matter-of-course incident that must be
taken good-naturedly in common with
the other trifing affairs OF a lifetime.
The result is about the same when a
soft, slushy SNOWFALL, hurled by a
mischievous boy, finds its mark on the
broad back of an otherwise digni6ed
person.-Washington Star.

WHEN TO WIND YOUR WATCH.
Regular Treatment Essential to Accuracy
of Fine Tim epieoes.

of Fine Timepieoes.
"My watch has developed n most
annoying irregularity" remarked n
very businesslil1e woman. 1T lost and
gained time by turns until conceived
the disagreeable impression Of having
paid a first-class price for a third-class
article. Full Of resentment, 1 posted
off to the dealer in chronometers from
whom the watch had been purchased
and accused him Of having treated me
unfairly.
He opened my tlmepiece," she con-
tinued, "and having examined it's in
ternal economy very closely, remarked:
It's simply a case Of unconscious cru
city to faithful but sensitive friend
These little workers that tirelessly tick
along, even when their owners are
asleep, are worthy of far better treat
ment than they receive. Fully ninety
nine per cent. of the people who carry
watches never give them thought
Take, for instance the simple pro-
cess Of winding a watch. There Is 4
right and a wrong way of doing it.
Whether it be by key or a stem, it
should be wound in the morning. Turn
slowly and avoid all jerky movements.
The watch will then work best during
the day. as the spring will exert its
strongest traction power, whereby the
external jostlings inflicted on the
watch by your daily works and walks
are fairly counterbalanced. When a
watch is wound at night it has only
the weakened spring to offer as re-
sistance to the jerks and iolts of the
daytime. The morning winding also
lessons the danger of breaking the
handspring, which, being no longer at
full tension at night, can stand the
cold better
"All watches keep better time as the
result Of regular habits. Don't lay it
down one night and hang it up the
next. Keep 1t in the same position as
nearly as circumstances will permit
In second-class watches the rate diff
ference between the horizontal and
vertical position is often quite signif-
cant. Nor should you hang your
watch on a nail where it can swing to
and fro like pendulum. 1t will either
gain OF lose great deal while in that
position.
"The difference in temperature be-
tween your breast or a mans waist
coat pocket and a wall, that may be-
nearly at the freezing point, is about
seventy-seven to eighty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit, and a watch should there
fore never be suspended or laid against
a cold surface. Sudden changes in the
temperature of the atmosphere are the
causes of most mainsprings breaking.
The watch wearer should clean his or
her pockets frequently, carefully
brushing out all dust and fibre, for
there never was a joining made tight
enough to keep out all dust This gets
into the oil which has thickened with
time, and necessarily produces irregu-
larities Of rate. Even with the great
est care a watch should be cleaned
once in eighteen months, and every
year would be better. BY this time the
oil dries up and mixes with metallic
dust; it grinds away on the works like
emery. When L tell you that watch
ticks 3SSS00 times in one day, you can
compute the gigantic task it performs
in year. Treat your watch reasOna-
bly,, and it will appreciate such care,
and will serve you faithfully as q
friend in need. Washington Star.

ESTIMATES ANALYZED.
Pearl Harbor Verdict Fits Testimony
of Neither Side.


of Neither Side
United States Attorney DUNES brief
in the motion for another new trial of
the case of the United States against
the Honolulu Plantation Company was
filed yesterday. Dunno holds that the
valuation fixed by the jury is excessive,
and gives the following analysis of the
estimates fixed by experts who testified:
There is no evidence anywhere in
this record fixing the value of the lease
hold at 1914, 600 or the improvements at
$S523.
Neither of these findings is respon-
sive either to the theory or the evil
dence Of either side.
The theory of the Government was
that, by reason of its character and
situation the land was of small value.
In support of this theory the Govern
ment offered consistent evidence:
Archer $25 per acre, or $l4,25O; l..
l.. McCandless, $3.50 per acre. or
$9S1S; tax return, $4,000; corporation
exhibit, 100000
"The average of these valuations is
$15, 42S, or about one-seVenth of the Ver-
dict, which it is contended is not re-
sponsive and is not justified by the
evidence.
THE defendant showed the value of
the land to be: Low, 100000 Goodale
5000, 900; Meyer $500, 600; Bolte, $275OOOi
Ahrens. $275, 600 Thurston, $256 500
Castle. $3.50, 600; Renton, $3.50 600; Nor
gan, $4,000.
1.-THE average of these valuations is
1892 645 vastly greater than double the
amount fixed by the verdict"

Harry West Resigns.

Harry West has resigned his posi-
tion as deputy postmaster to take ef-
feet April 1st. This announcement
will no doubt be surprise to many
who have considered him a fixture
Mr. West has been deputy postmaster
in the Durango office for the past
twenty years and probably no man in
the service is better qualified or given
better satisfaction than he has. Be
ing steady, reliable and accurate he
has been a valuable assistant to the
as postmaster.
The Herald feels that it voices the
sentiments of SO out OF every 100
patrons of the office when we say his
resignation is greatly regretted as he
will be sorely missed by one and all
But health considerations come first
and Mr. West feels that he must make
change-one that will give him more
outside work, twenty years continu-
Gus confinement having had it's effect.
Under these conditions it is best he
be guided by what he considers his own
welfare, and in doing so he will take
with him the best wishes of the peo-
pie of Durango and southwestern
Colorado. AS yet Mr.. West has not
determined on the future. Positions
have been offered him at Pueblo and
he may go there and look over the
ground. We trust, however, that he
will conclude to remain in Durango
along with his family, as both himself
and wife will be missed should they
change their residence. But where
ever their lot may be cast The Herald
wishes them success

SEEKING HOMES IN
THIS SOUTHWEST SECTION.

Probably no time in the history of
southwestern Colorado and north
western New Mexico have as many
people set their eyes toward this sec
tion as the present year. Reports
from different parts of La Plata and
Montezuma counties indicate healthy
growth while from San Juan county,
n. NJ, the most encouraging reports
[are received daily. Hardly a day
passes that some well-to-do eastern
farmer does not land in our neighbor-
ing county on the south. The reason
of this is obvious. The drouth of
last year in the middle west set many
farmers to thinking, and a portion of
them concluded to move to a locality
where crops were not entirely de-
pendent upon rain. Many also want
ed section where fruit is easily
grown and all the advantages of
climate thrown in with soil for pro-
duction that cannot be excelled. This
southwest section fills the bill and we
may expect continuance of new com
ers, In fact, the influx has just COM
menced as all who come will write
their friends and they'll want to come
too. The outlook for at least doub-
ling in population during the next two
years is excellent and as our popula-
ton increases the certainty of south
ern outlet becomes more apparent
