THE OYSTERS POSITION.
If wedged on Its Right Side In Its
Bed 1t Will Die.

Bed 1t Will Die.
"Why does an oyster sleep and live
on it's left side?" asked a man who Is
interested in oyster culture. "Well. !
suppose we will have to put the ques-
ton to Nature. and Nature has her own
way Of answering questions. | have
been around in the oyster waters of
the Chesapeake bay and Choptank riv-
er for many years and am in a position
to say that this is the natural way
Of the oyster. l may remark paren-
thetically that this is one of the Difficult
ties we have to contend with. for in re-
bedding oysters and punching them an
oyster is occasionally thrown upon its
right side and weighted so that it can
not turn over. 1t simply dwindles
away and dies by degrees. Put upon
its right side the oyster cannot live.
OF course there is an explanation to
this popularity. The right hand part
Of the oyster she'll is the top and NOV
able part. If the oyster is put In its
natural p~osition-that is. on its left
side-it requires but a small amount Of
physical energy to open and raise the
right hand section of the shell when
the oyster wants to feed. Reverse the
position and put the oyster on the right
side and we find an extremely difficult
problem. from the oysters standpoint.
In order to open the shell for feeding
purposes it is necessary for the oyster
to raise not only the weight Of the left
section of the shell, but it's own weight
as we'll. If we reverse the natural po-
| sition of the oyster. put it on Its right
hand side and wedge it so it can't turn
over, we simply smother and starve 1t
to death. OF course I am just theoriz.
ing about this thing. There may be
some other explanation of the left hand.

SPELLING is often neglected in
the public schools in order to
give more time to the higher
branches. This is all wrong. A
recent test in the Fargo high
school revealed the lamentable
fact that even pupils from the
most cultivated homes were de-
plorably deficient in spelling. A
list of twenty-five words in com.
mon use was submitted and very
few stood over ninety per cent
while many fell below fifty.

MANDAN is said to be in posses

can be agreed upon for the pro-

meet the approval of both parties,
it will not be built. If this report
be true, it will readily be seen
that Mandan and Bismarck will
have to get together and fix ur

Or. Little's New Patent.

|
We were invited around the other
day to see DR.. Little's patent tor
lifting and moving heavy barrels.
1T consists Of frame with two up
right pieces, between which the
barrel is swung. Around the bar
rel chain is fastened, and from
this chain rods extend to either
side, working in a groove Of the
frame. The barrel is held and
moved up or down by rope and
pulley, which are worked with a
lever and ratchet at the bottom or
platform. When the barrelis lifted
it can be tipped to suit the conven-
fence of the operator without exer-
ton or assistance. A small boy
can operate the machine or move It
about the room with ease, being
supplied with rollers. It is said to
be the only patent Of the kind on
the market, and we don't see why
the Doctor can't reap a rich harvest
out of the invention. He is now
estimating the cost of manufacture.

Something About Gus"

The Commercial is steadily in
creasing in it's growth. Last Mon
day large number of new SUBJ
scribers we're added to our list, and
many renewals. 1t is remarkable
and matter of congratulation to
the publishers that seldom an old
subscriber asks to discontinue.
Many of Mr.. Andrews subscribers,
who began on three-months' trial,
have willingly and cheertully paid
their arrearages of from two to five
dollars and asked the paper con-
tinued. We have assurances from
the people that this paper has been
conducted on the lines of we'll
regulated weekly, decent, clean,
open in it's dec1ara tions, but con-
sentative and respectful OF the opin-
ion of others. We are assured also
of an abiding place among these
homes and OF the prospects OF
large increase in the future. 1t is
essentially county paper, giving
the bulk of space to the citizens of
Union City, but not limited to that
locality. The Commercial does not
often talk of it's business, but wants
to suggest to the advertiser that
we claim as many readers now as
any other paper in the scope of ter
ritory tributary to your business,
and acknowledge no better adver-
Using medium in the county. We
have certainly done good bust
ness, and are very grateful to our
advertising patrons, but feel that
we have given you good returns for
the money invested.
