ORIGIN OF FIRE.
The Curious Story Told by the South
Sea islanders.

The Curious Story Told by the South
Sea Islanders.
The south sea islanders tell curious
story of the origin of fire. If they are
to be believed, they came into posses
sion of that useful element in the fol-
lowing manner: A great whale was
once washed ashore upon one of their
islands during the prevalence Of ter
rible hurricane The monster became
entangled in grove Of taliow trees IA
species Of evergreens whose branches
easily ignite, and while gnashing his
teeth in his impotent rage struck off q
spark which lighted the grove and con-
sumed both trees and whale. Fires
which are said to have been perpetu-
ated since the day of the great whale
fire" may yet be seen burning in many
parts Of the islands.
Another fire legend, believed in by
the Inhabitants Of the islands to the
north Of the ones in which the great
| whale fire" Is preserved, is to the effect
that great air dragon probably light
ning) breathed upon a tallow tree and
set its branches on fire. From the Goals
left from this fire they learned of its
great value and have ever since used
the element for domestic purposes and
in their religious ceremonies. They
also have a tradition that the time will
come when the dragon will return for
the fire and that no man will be able
to withstand him and save the sacred
spark except he be person born with
pink eyes. fair skin and white hair
For this reason the birth of an albino
| Is always hailed as good omen and
his or her person guarded with jealous
care, so as to preserve life to its ut
most limit. Marionette mentions seeing

THE AGE OF AN OYSTER.
Sou Can Tell 1t by the Lines ON tn.
Hinge of the She'll.

Sou Can Tell 1t by the Lines ON tbs
Hinge of the She'll.
In some ways an oyster is smarter,
than the man who eats him, but in one
respect the consumer has his victilu
beaten in the matter of wisdom. The
consumer has learned the art of max
Ing up" to conceal his age; the oyster
has not. Any one who wishes to do
SO can find out just how old an oyster
Is. The lines in the groove of the
hinge of the shell tell the whole sto-
~. These lines are a true index to
the number of layers composing the
shell, being. in fact, nothing else than
their attenuated tails, One of. these
layers grows each year, and, no matter
how hard the sensitive oyster may try
to keep it from showing. it is bound to
overlap its predecessor and leave
ridge which, no doubt, is just Us an
noying to the oyster tribe as an an
nual wrinkle would be to the human
race.
Up to the time of an oysters matu
rity these layers are arranged with reg
ularity, but after that they fairly pile
over each other, just as If the little
bivalve's birthplace had crowded upon
each other so rapidly that he didn't
have time to spread out one new plate
before another was right at his heels.
An oyster comes Of age when he Is
four years old. Coming of age In the
oyster kingdom means that he. Is old
enough to take care of family and
80 to market. Going to market Is a
disastrous undertaking and is gener-
ally the last of him, for a four-year-
old oyster is particularly palatable. and
people do not hesitate to pay a pretty
| good price for a pint or a quart Of
him. BY this it must not be inferred
that after an oyster has passed the
four layer period and has five, ten or
even a dozen wrinkles on his shell
he Is a back number and fit for
nothing but to keep on accommodating
wrinkles until he dies of old age. In
deed, there are records Of oysters be-
Ing eaten just after celebrating their
thirtieth birthday. and in most cases
they formed quite a delicious meal.
This is an unusual age for an oyster
to attain, because few of them are Civ
en- an opportunity to live so long. II
left to enjoy life in his own quiet way
It Is quite probable that the oyster
would live to become an octogenarian
or even a centenarian. - New York

to special markets, and this means
that there is always likely to he some
restriction on the markets for it.
5 Because Of this it is not i'kely to
command the same prices as other
standard varieties of wheat.
Because of it's good yielding proper
ties and its hardihood, this wheat may
be grown with advantage doubtless
in some portions of every state in the
union, if for no other purpose, as a
food for live stock. Grown alone it
will furnish an admirable food for
fowls, especially in the win:er sea-
son. Wheat is well adopted to egg
production. When grown with oats
or with oats and barley. it will fur
nish an excellent food in ground form
for dairy and beef cattle and swine
and in the unground form TO-: sheep
The great advantage from growing il
lies thus in the fact that larger yields
of the combined product will be OBJ
tanned then from growing the respec
tive grain factors separately.
