EDUCATING OYSTERS.

Training schools In which the HI

"A school for OYSTERS" said n dealer
in fish, lis an institution that you
would swear could not exist, for oys-
ters are notorious for their stupidity.
II is however, fact that there are
many oyster schools. will explain
them to you I'm such a way that you
VIII believe In them. An oysters intel
ligence is limited, but still II has intel
ligence. Years ago certain wise fish
dealers discovered that II you take an
oyster suddenly from its subaqueOus
bed it opens its shell. whereupon the
life giving water inside It all escapes
and the oyster dies. But If you ex-
pose an oyster TO the air gradually,
lifting II out OF the water for few
minutes and then returning 1t again, II
gradually learns that TO keep its shell
closed when out OF the water is the
best thing for its health. These inves-
tigators found that they could take two
oysters, one trained and one unframed.
and the trained oyster, keeping its shell
closed while out of the water, would
live a long time, while the unframed
one, opening its shell, would die in a
few hours. Therefore training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are in appearance nothing more
than reservoirs full Of water. Oysters
are put In them, and the water is drain
ed Off and then returned again. II is
kept of for a few minutes at first, then
for ten minutes, then for half an hour
and so on. oysters I'm these schools
learn that they will live longest and
keep healthicst out Of water II they
hold their shells tight shut. As soon as
they learn this they are graduated and
go out into the world. Philadelphia

shop here this morning. Death is
thought to have been caused by his
drinking wood alcohol and bay rum
as partially filled, bottles Of each
we're found beside him.
Alfred came here from Tecumseh
Ok. last May. He formerly lived at
Pauls Valley. where his widow and
children now live. He and his wife
had separated owing to his continued
drunkenness. He has a brother al
johnson and another brother at TIE.
cumsed. where his father also resides.
The latter was notified of his death
and will arrive here this afternoon
Acting Mayor Bruce Rollins has or
dered a post mortem examination and
Drs. stover and Ford will conduct
same this afternoon.
Alfred, Bud Blackwell. a gambler;
Chas Howard. who lives in the coun-
try near here; Bill Hensley and a
man from Wichita Falls, Texas, were
drinking yesterday afternoon and last
night OF them Alfred is dead, Black
well is in an unconscious condition
and will likely die; Hensley and the
man from Wichita Falls ere quite
sick and Howard has not yet been
heard from. Parties have gone to
Howards home TO see II he is there.
Friends Of these men claim that they
went to a drug store here yesterday
and asked for alcohol and the druggist
gave them wood alcohol which caused
such fatal results.
Later-Thls afternoon after hold
ing an autopsy over the body OF ALI
red, DR.. Stover testified that in his
opinion death was caused from alco-
holic poisoning.

II was expected TO reappear, and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.

that Jupiter was the culprlt. The un-

Nesting upon the ground, the par

of this species was once startled by a
plow passing within yard or so OF its
nest. Destruction was almost GER
tainty, as the plow must pass entirely
over it'in the next round. and the la
borer wondered how the partridge
would act The time necessary for go
ing around the field was about twenty
minutes, yet in that almost incredible
period the parent birds had effected the
removal of some twenty-one eggs TO n
safe spot. Careful search led to the
discovery Of the bird calmly seated up
on her treasures i'm the bottom OF the
hedge out Of reach Of the plow. Nine
teen partridge chicks were eventually
hatched and duly escaped unmolested.
