FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.
Bivnlve Does Not Rank with the Cod
Haddock or MRckerel-The
Blue Poiat.

AS a matter Of interest there is only
n species of oyster, ostrea virginia.
along the eastern coast of NORTH
America, says Good Housekeeping.
The western coast has at least five
species, but only two of these are of i'm
portance, and these do not compare with
the eastern shellfsh. Thus 1t is appar-
ent that a blue point, a Providence
river and a Chesapeake bay oyster are
one and the same thing, SO far as spe-
cies is 'concerned. The difference is
merely a matter of environment. a diff
ference in food supply and conditions in
growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was once
a natural bed. 1t gets its name from
the little town of Blue Point, off which
the beds were discovered. These oys-
tiers were of handsome shape and extra
appearance, and at once commanded
fancy prices. 1t was only a matter Of
time when these and ~neighboring beds
would be worked out, and then it was
found~ necessary to resort to seeding"
or "planting"-that is, covering the
beds with young oysters from other To-
calities.
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but Is
almost entirely lacking in fatmaking,
muscle-building material and those ele-
ments which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While 1t is whole
some and easily assimilated, the actual
food value of the oyster is not sufH-
cient to rank it with our great food
ishes-the cod, paddock, mackerel, etc.

SOCIETY AT A DISTANCE.


Society al a distance is one of the
hmusemonts furnished TO readers oil
metropolitan dailies. These organs Of
urban thought agree in deeming society
lusicrous if il is the society of any small
plaee, says the News from Turkey Creek.
"V. W. Hancock and family, p says a pa
per in Iowa, 'and Uncle John Clarke
had more places to eat and to be enter
tanned last week than they could attend
to-" This Information is printed in
New York without comment, as funny
IN itself, but a description of the conflict
of engagements of any person prominent
in the social eddy of a great city might
be a serious little special AS an In.
diana Journal observes: Mrs, William
Thompson has her second crop of let
tuce, which speaks volumes for II
derful soil and climate" Why is the
lettuce Of Mrs. Thompson ridiculous?
THE minister arrived on time, and just
as the morning star cast his rays
athwart the billowy fields of Indian
Creek, Lee Hawkins and Ira Eddy were
made man and wife" So far from laugh
ing at this West Virginia style, We only
wish ii would be initiated in the society
columns of large places. 1t is the deadly
solemnity with which the metropolitan
journals chronicle the fact that certain
ladies were seen driving upon the av-
enue yesterday that adds the most ex-
circulating quality to this conspicuous
department of the news. A superiority
of smaller places is that personal ipfor,
nation is printed to satisfy the natural
desire to know something about our
friends, When the people of Helton-
vile, Ind, read that Curt Sowder blew
in Thursday drjiing an ~enterprising-
looking mule hitched to a buggy" they
learn a fact in which any healthy resi-
dent OF Heltonville, Ind, ought to be
interested. When, however, a resident
of New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore
reads a page about the meals, clothes,
and visits of individuals Of no impor-
lance, whom he never met, he is indulg-
ng in about as trivial an interest as the
range OF possible reading affords.

WINTER BEDDING.
How to Protect Com fort Ends, Keep
Quilts Clean and Make Paper
Blankets.

An easy way to protect the ends of
comforts and other bed covering is to
take a strip of muslin (old sheets may
be used for this purpose) about IL inch
es wide and long enough to reach across
one end Of the comfort, sew this on with
long stitches, so that there will be a
width of six inches on either side of the
comfort. This strip can be easily re-
moved and washed when soiled.
A white quilt will keep clean and free
from wrinkles much longer if, instead
of being allowed to remain on all night,
it be drawn down over the end of the
bedstead, care being first taken to re-
move all dust, says the Home Magazine.
Lest the quilt should reach the floor,
and thus become soiled, the top should
be folded back towards the bed and
passed over the end just far enough to
prevent its slipping off.
A dainty daytime cover is made Of
shrimp colored linen worked in a
stamped spreading design, with ivory
colored fax. 1t is made just large
enough to fit smoothly without hanging
off. A broad lace insertion is set in
with a border to match. A toilet set
to correspond is very handsome with
this spread.
A lovely slumber robe car be made OF
two summer shawls. of contrasting col
ors; place sheet wadding between the
shawls and knot with No. i ribbon.
Paper blankets are excellent for
warmth. Make by basting newspapers
or wrapping paper in six or more
covering with the cheap flannel
cite, lacking together like a cotton COM

that If he read as much as other people
he would know as little; but his mind

With the theory of evolution DarWin's
name is more widely associated than
Spencer's, and It is generally held tina.
his doctrines are more solidly built and
thoroughly proved. But Darwin's work
covers far less ground-namely, biology
and some problems of psychology. He
worked within his W ground. 1t was
impossible that Spencer should have
an equally sure knowledge at first hand
of all the vast regions that he yentured
to explore. II It be said that In that case
he should not have ventured, the reply
Is that philosophy could never have ex-
listed upon prudential maxims. 1t is es-
s~entlally daring. AS Aristotle SAYS, we
must not listen to those who advise us
as mortals to be content with mortal
things. The worst a philosopher can do
is to prepare the way for others even by
his own failure. But it would be afro
ciousIy unjust to call Spencer's specula-
lions a failure.

Sore Throat Remedy.

One of tae simplest, most effectua.
cures for sore throat, caused by catch.

neck where it is sorest and rub it in

hurts the sufferer extremely to swallow.
a few drops up to half a teaspoonful OF
more should be taken internally. Truth
to tell, affections of the bronchial or
