ganized against him as they did
against many others of our strong

of him eventuated in his being
compelled to leave his native state.

A whistIing oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop.
house some years ago made fame and
fortune by the discovery Of musical
oyster. A distinct whistling sound
came from a newly opened barrel OF
oysters. With eagerness he hunted
for the cause and found an oyster
which seemed 10 amuse itself by
whistling. The inn&eeper advertised
It, and hundreds came daily to his
hostelry to listen TO the musical oyster.
In due time the oyster died, and its
secret died with 1t. 1t Is supposed
that the sound was caused by the In
SEPARATION and expiration Of air through
a tiny hole in the shell. To this day
the inn is known as 1.-THE Whistling
