OYSTER PARTIES AT VIGo.
Novel Amusement of Spanish \W ter.
inc Place.

Vigo, one of the Spanish watering
places, offers a novel amusement to
its patrons. Oyster parties are the
rage and are Of daily occurrence.
Large parties are formed which pro-
coed to the beds in large, flat-bottomed
boats, and the oysters are fished up
and opened as soon as they are
brought into the boat
Few refreshments apart from the BIZ
valves are offered, as one of the inter.
esting features of the party is the
awarding of a prize to the one who
consumes the greatest number.
They are passed to the guest on the
shell, and these shells are thrown into
a basket, from which a count is made
at the end of the feast.
The Vigo oyster is one of the small
est of its kind, being much smaller
even than its California relative and
a score of 200 is not at all uncommon,
as the party sometimes lasts the en-
tire day.
Ice is largely a luxury in Spain, and
the VigO oyster parties are the only
assurance the epicure has of getting
the delicacy in its best form.-New
York Herald

Of Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special-
Chas, Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co., has delivered a judg
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter l had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning l could hardly straight
en- my back. | did not know what it
was but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box I can only say they have done
more for me than expected as | feel as
we'll now as ever | did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Corns and Bunions.

These are not confined to the sick
room, but they are, nevertheless, in
conveniences for which natural meth
DDS affords in many cases great relief.
The first measure to be adopted is the
removal Of pressure. Both bunions
and corns are the result of undue
pressure. This may be accomplished
by a suitable adjustment of the shoe
or other foot covering in many cases,
but sometimes it is necessary to ap-
ply what are known as bunion-plas-
tiers and corn-plasters. BY this means
the pressure may be made to fall upon
the sound and non-sensitive tissues
lying around and outside Of the affect
ed parts.
Inflammatory conditions, whether
affecting the bunion or corn, may be
marvelously relieved by proper appli-
cations. II the corn or bunion is pain
full, 1t should be soaked in hot water
for fifteen or twenty minutes, or until

The Charity Organization Society of
vention of tuberculosis. encourages
the active campaign against this great
plague and gives a concise summary
of why" the battle should be waged
Because more people die of con
sumption than from any other dis
ease.
Each year 1,095,0o0 of the people of
the world die of it, In the United
States over 100000 die every year of
consumption Every day 1000, and
each minute OF the day two persons
fall before this enemy. How many OF
your friends have died of it?
Because it is a disease which
spreads from one person to another,
and any one may catch it,
Because it is chiefly caused by the
filthy habit of splitting.
Because it is a disease which can be
stopped, and need not spread
Because every one may and should
help stop it.
Because already there is change for
the better, The number of deaths
from consumption is growing less
Twenty years ago there were many
more deaths in proportion to the pop.
ulation than now
If the tuberculosis death rate of 1856
had been maintained the first nine
months of 1902 four thousand more
persons in Manhattan and the Bronx
would have died of tuberculosis than
actually died in these months.
Could anything be found more in
spring, more plainly indicative of the
need for extending the work against
this disease?

Use of tobacco by Minors.

The use of tobacco by children, its
causes and prevention is discussed
in the Medical Summary.
Whilst most states have laws forbid
ding the sale of tobacco to minors, it
is a notorious fact that such laws are
universally ignored. The parent,
teacher and physician are to blame.
The parent, that he does not thor
oughly train his child; the teacher,
that he does not better supervise the
conduct of his pupils; the doctor in
that he does not warn the parent
who perhaps errs himself.
School boys may be seen any day
on their way to school with books un-
der their arms, and a chew of tobacco
or a cigarette in their mouths Oc-
casionally little girls may be observed
INDUCING in the seductive cigarette
on the streets. What will be the in
evitable results? The best that could
be hoped would be numerous tobacco
users, but worse might be feared, and
very much worse imagined.
The evil is evident, and the remedy
is provided but law is useless till en-
forced on violation The dealer will
not obey it till public sentiment de-
mands it; the child does not choose to
submit to it; the parent is negligent;
the pupil is Indifferent or silent; and
what is left for the chld's salvation
but action upon the part of the guard
ians Of humanity. If we act, we move
thankess. The parent will not appre-
ciate; the dealer will be made an
enemy ard the children will hate us
as they become men. Pastor and
priest, lawyer and laymen will sneer
if we attempt to enforce the laws

Simple Enqineerinu,

A traveller in Egypt writes: "Tn a
camel caravan we once met In the
desert there was beast with q gi-
gantic load of cases towering above
and on both sides Of him; on the left
flank of this mountain of cases rode a
small Arab slung in sling. The rea-
son was obvious-the camel engineers
had miscalculated in loading and had
put too much weight on the off side,
thus giving the camel heavy list to
starboard. Arab-like, being too lazy
to repack, they had corrected the err
ror by using light Arab as trimming
ballast"

Scorpion Died Naturally.

I have recently come across the fol-
lowing passage in the Rev. John Camp
bells Travels in South Africa" Oon-
don, 1879, page SO: Having caught
scorpion near our tent, we tried
whether naturalists were accurate "a
relating that if that animal be sun
rounded with fire, and sees he can not
escape, he will sting himself to death.
However, it died as quietly as any
other animal only darting its sting
from it, as if to oppose any ordinary
assailant." The experiment was made
near Zwellendam, Cape Colony, on
February 20, neutrality-suspicious. in

Would advise having a stone wall
on all four sides, and ventilating the
stable. An easy and inexpensive way
to ventilate stable is to have fresh
air intake pipes through the walls in

ventilating fues running up through
the mows to the roof at the gable
ends or perline posts. These fues
pass through the floor Of the barn to
