Oyster, Aged rs, a Foot Long.

A wholesale oyster dealer was siz
ing up a new invoice yesterday.
There are some old fellows in that
lot" he said. as he showed to one
side some abnormally large ones. He
picked out one and measured it. The
shell was eight inches long. THE
age of an oyster has absolutely no
affect upon its quality" he said. at
doesn't get tough with age, like the
higher order of animals. How long
does an oyster live? Well, couldn't
say exactly. | have known Maurice
river oystermen to claim that an oys'
ter undisturbed in neglected cove
would live for twenty-five years before
it finally died of old age. And an
oyster of the Maurice river type keeps
on growing all the time. have seen
some myself that measured nearly a
foot in length Philadelphia Record

cANADA's NEW RAILROAD.
Il VIII Span the Country and viii
Cost $125,OO0, 900.

The length Of the main line-the
new transcontinental railroad in Can
ada-from Moncton to Port Simpson,
is estimated at three thousand, five
hundred miles. 1t is expected to cost
in the neighborhood of one hundred
and twenty-five minion dollars, Of
which sixty-five millions are for the
Eastern section, to be built by the gov
eminent, and sixty millions for the
Western section, to be built by the
railway company.
In addition to the main line, there
are several projected branches, some
to connect with the principal towns
and cities to the south of the railway,
and others to open up new districts
still farther north. Nothing here has
been definitely decided, but 1t is prac-
tically certain that, in the East,
branches will connect the new trans
continental railway with Montreal,
Toronto, Sault Ste. Marie and Fort
William; while in the West branches
will be built to Regina. Calgary, Prince
Albert and other important centers in
the wheat and ranching districts. In
British Columbia, connection will
probably be made with line running
north from Vancouver, and q branch
line will run north to Dawson City. A
possible development of the future
may be branch from some point on
the Eastern section extending north
ward to Hudson Bay. Railways to
Hudson Bay have been projected and
chartered time and again during the
past ten or fifteen years, but have al
ways fallen through because Of the
immense expense involved, and the
uncertainty as to the forthcoming OF
profits for many years after compile
ton. With the new transcontinental
road opening up so much of Northern
Canada, the cost Of branch to Hud-
son Bay would be very materially re.
duced, and its commercial success cor
respondingly increased.-From Sue

Hunted Deer Invaded Store.

A deer, pursued by the County
Down Qreland) staghounds, bolted
through a grocers shop in Crossgar,
the other day, and then through the
scullery and yard into neighboriny
kitchen. 1t overturned the furniture.
and tried to jump through the win
dow, but it became wedged in the
frame, and was captured there. In
spite of the noise the animal made, a
child which was sleeping in the
kitchen was not awakened.

Wonders of the Hand.

The human hand is profound
study. No instrument devised by man
compares with it for complication. 1t
is hammer, vice, forceps, a
hook, a spring, weight; it pushes,
draws in, and the fingers alone con-
tain elements of chisels, gouges and
all the tools sculptor requires in
modelling. From the elbow to the
digital extremities its movements are
produced by nearly fifty muscles. So
complicated is the cordage of a hui
man hand that expert anatomists can
hardly keep in remembrance it's in
tricate mechanism. With it all the
emotions of the mind may be both
manifested and intensified. 1t is o
wonder of wonders.

A Minor Defect.

Weaver-What do you think of my

they are not pretty!
Grumple-They come mighty near

The lines begin with capitals, and
end with rhymes. The only thing

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because 1t
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1909. package 1t is because he has
a stock ON hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
fance and save much time and money
and the annoyance Of the iron stick
Ing Defiance never sticks.
