she hValve's Organs and Where
They Are Located.
Every oyster has q mouth, heart, a
liver, stomach and other necessary
internal organs, including set Of cum
ningly devised intestnes. The mouth
Is at the small end of the oysters body,
near the hinge of the shcl. 1t Is oval
Ia shape, and, though not readily dis
covered by an Impractical eye. II may
be easily located by gently pushing II
blunt bOdkiH or similar instrument
along the folds OF the surface of the
body at the place mentioned. Connect
ed with the mouth Is the canal which
the oyster uses Ia conveying food to
the stomach, from whence 1t passes In

twisted intestines referred to Ia the

EYEGLASSES


on Properly.
There is nothing which more com
pletely changes the effect of n pair of
eyeglasses than the habit of crowding
them ON the nose with one hand. The
best efforts at lifting and adjusting are
all brought to naught by a person who
has acquired that habit
The proper way 10 take off glasses
is to take hold of the bridge and lift
Off gently without dragging or pulling
out OF shape. TO take or spectacles
take hold of the right temple with the
right hand and lift 1t off the ear Then
turn the head to the right and the left
temple Will fall Off easily
The average wearer of glasses when
he Is cleaning them takes hold of the
bridge. The consequence Is that lac
gradually works the bridge cut of
shape, and every rub he gives the lens
gives twist to the bridge, and In
course of time the bridge or the lens
breaks when he least expects It, There
are probably more glasses broken In
this way than any other
The correct way TO clean them il To
take hold OF one of the eye pieces
where the glass Is screwed on the outer
edge aud clean the lens. and then re-
verse the glasses, take II by the other
end piece and repeat the process ON
that lens.

KANSAS CORN FOR VINEGAR.
BlnloCll Frnit Company Uses Cobs in
Generators.

The ElaloCk Fruit company has just
nloaded al the ranch below town two
cars of Kansas corn, on the cob, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin. 1t is
being shelled-the corn II he fed OF
sold and the cobs to be filled into 13
generators in the new vinegar plant
They had considerable trouble in get.
ting the eastern people to ship the
grain as wanted, as they could not
understand, until it was repeated over
and over again. that the corn was
wanted on the cob.
The vinegar plant presents a busy
scene with apples being made into ci-
der and cider pumped into settling
tanks, carpenters erecting tanks, and
buildings to cover them. Filling the
generator tanks with beech shavings
and corn eobs is the last stage in COM
pleting the vinegar plant that the
Blalock Fruit company has been at
work on for the last SO days.
They have 10000 gallons of hard
cider on hand, which is now being
started through the generators, and in
months time the company expects
10 begin marketing a 60 grain quality
Ct vinegar that heretofore has never
been made in the northwest.

INCREASE PULLMAN'S TAXES.
Car Company Forced to Pay on Hid
.. den Property.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-The
Pullman company's taxes will be in
creased over $2,O0O,OOO should the
city's contention be sustained and
every other corporation in the state
will be compelled to pay proportion
ate increase.
On the first of April the Pullman
stock of $4,000, 900. & According to
company reported a paid up capital
the figures produced by Manager
Richberg, the value of the stock at
that time was 240, making the total
stock value $177,6OO,OOO. One-fifth
of this, or the assessed value, would
be $35,520,000. From this would be
deducted the local assessment of So
513,313 made in Chicago, leaving a
capital stock valuation of $33, ,6S7
for assessment by the board of equal
ization.
Last year the Pullman company
paid taxes in other states on a tangi-
BILE property valuation of $117, 100000
and it is probable that it will show a
greater taxation outside of Illinois
this year, but Mr.. Richberg insisted
that the board could not, under the
| law, deduct this amount.
