About Oysters.

AS matter of interest there is but
one species of oyster, OStrea virginia.,
along the eastern coast of North
America. The western coast has at
least five species, but only two of these
compare with the eastern shell fish.
Thus it is apparent that a blue point
a Providence river and a Chesapeake
bay oyster are one and the same
thing. so far as species is concerned.
The difference is merely a matter of
environment. a difference in food sup
ply and conditions in growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was
once natural bed. It gets it's name
from the little town of Blue Point, off
which the beds were discovered. These
oysters were of handsome shape and
extra appearance and at once com
manded fancy prices. It was only a
matter of time when these and neigh
boring beds would be worked out and
then it was found necessary to resort
to seeding or 'tplanting''-that is
covering the beds with young oysters
from other localities
The oyster is rich in phosphates. but
is almost entirely lacking in fat-rnak-
ing, muscle building material and
those elements which go to make up
physical force and vitality While it is
wholesome and easily assimilated. the
actual food value of the oyster is not
sufficient to rank it with our great food
flshes-the cod, paddock, mackereI, ETC.

A PLUCKY WOMAN.
Threw a Large Negro Bandit
from ii err House.

Kansas City, Kan. Nov. 2S.-The ne
gro who robbed and attempted to kill
Mrs. M. E. Barker at her home, in this
city yesterday afternoon, has not been
captured.
When discovered the negro made a
vicious attempt to murder Mrs. Barker
He struck several times at her throat
with a razor. The woman's life was
saved by a thick fascinator, the folds
of which around her neck prevented the
sblade from penetrating the flesh. Her
arms and neck were scratched by the
blade of the weapon and her dress cut
in 20 or 80 places. Mrs. Barker sue
ceeded in pushing the negro out of the
house and off the porch. AS he fell
from the porch the negro struck at Mrs.
Barker and the parting blow laid open
the woman's knee.
Il had been hanging clothes on the
line" said Mrs. Barker, "and when /
came in I sat down a minute to rest. 1
heard somethig drop in the front room.
/ rushed in. In the center of the room
stood a big negro. His face was masked
by blue handkerchief. Beside him lay
my silver spoons which he had dropped.
In his hand he held my pocketbook. AS
I entered the room he said Get out
made no answer but grabbed the pocket
book. He held the other end. It tore it
in two. My side had $40 in it, his $25.
threw what I got of the pocketboook
into the corner of the room. The negro
drew razor and sprang at me. l tore
off his mask We struggled up and down
the room, the negro striking at me with
the razor. I caught him around the
waist, carried him through the door
which he had left open, and pushed him
off the porch. AS he fell he struck me
on the knee. I ran through the house
and out the back door to a neighbor's.
[ saw the negro sprawl down the bank,
then scramble up and run. The fasci-
nator wrapped around my neck saved
my life. It broke the force of the ne
gro's blows
Mrs. Barker was able to sit up last
evening and appeared to have suffered
little from the attack. She is AZ years
old. One son, Andrew, is employed by
the Kansas City Southern railway Of

FEED HER RIGHT
The Sure Way to Rear a Healthy Girl.

The relation of food to comfort and
health impressed an Iowa teacher who
says:
after teaching school for several
years I became a victim of insomnia
and night after night it was 3 or 4
o'clock in the morning before would
fall asleep completely worn out. Of
course lost strength and brain power
and became terribly nervous until was
on the verge of nervous prostration.
about that time I read an article
about Grape-Nuts that convinced me
that my trouble was due to indigestion,
something I had never thought of be-
fore I got two boxes of Grape-Nuts
and began to use them for breakfast
and supper with good rich cream. Well.
the change was something wonderful
and my health came back in bounds.
"Grape-Nuts took the place of nom
nourishing food and [ am now better
in health, brain power, and spirits;
sleep well and work longer and harder
and never feel nervous or worried.
When I have finished my school ses-
sion I still feel have lots of reserve
force and energy left and when I go to
bed at night I get sound and refreshing
sleep and get up early, happy as a lark.
Il have had numbers of my scholars
try the food and j must tell you about
one case She was a Duny, nervous lit
tie girl and her mother told me she did
not eat enough to keep bird alive. Al
she wanted was candy and other trash.

Carnegie to Pay All Expenses.

Ithaca, April 15.-A further commu-
nicatlon was received by President
Schurman of Cornell from Andrew
Carnegie, in which Mr.. Carnegie urged
that the students fund, subscribed to
aid those who became ill with typhoid
1ever during the epidemic, be returned
to subscribers and that he be al
lowed to pay all expenses incurred by
students on account of the epidemic,
including those of twenty-seven who
died. The details of the plan by which
students are to avail themselves of
Mr.. Carnegie's offer have been worked
out and each one will send to the
treasurer's office an itemized bill.
