LONG Distance Jane.

An old farmer was skeptical as 10
whether people who were miles apart
could really talk to each other over a
telephone wire.
One day his wife went TO make a
visit to distant friend who had a
telephone in her house. During the
afternoon the farmer visited a near
neighbor who also boosted house tele-
phone and who persuaded the farmer
to call up his wife as little surprise.
Following instructions he put the re-
ceiver to his ear and. after the usual
preliminaries, he shouted:
Hello, Jane"
Just then a fash OF lightning caused
by the heat OF the summer day struck
the wire, and he fell sprawling to the
floor. The nelghbor was chagrined
that the old man should meet with such
an accident on his first trial of a fele-
phone and assured him that such a
thing would not happen except in case
OF storms But the farmer was con
WINGED OF the possibilities OF communi-
cation, however and would not try
again. He rose to his feet and, shak-
Ing his head knowingly, said:

subjects conld detect In water the
presence Of the sixtieth part Of grain
Of gall The women couldn't distin-
guish the gall in smaller quantity
than the twentieth of a grain. The
mems taste was three times keener
than the womens.
Next, smell. The men smelled the
presence of the hundredth part of a
grain OF prussic acid. The women
were unconscious Of the acid till a
quantity Ave times greater, was set be.

Eve times the women's superiors.
MEN heard a watch ticking OF dis

hear It at distance Of two yards. The

Chicago, Aug. 5-ISdge Kenesaw NJ
Lands in the United States district
court at Chicago Saturday fined the
STANDARD Oil company of Indianapolis
$40 100000 for violation Of the law
against accepting rebates from railroads.
This fine il the largest ever assessed
against any individual OF any corpora
tion in fine history III American Grim

than 13l times as great as the amount
received by the company through its re-
batting operations. The case will be ear
ried To the higher courts by the defend
ant company. The penalty imposed up.
on the company is the maximum permit
ted under the law, and it was announced
at the end Of a long opinion In which the
methods and practices Of the Standard
oil compay were uercilessly scored. The
Judge, in fact, declared in his opinion
that the officials OF the Standard oil
company who were responsible for the
practices Of which the corporation was
found guilty, were no better than conn
terfeiters and thieves, his exact language
being; 1--WE may as well look at this
situation squarely. The men who thus
deliberately violate this law wound So

his FIRST question, and the only rational
answer was for him to eat and see.
Waving aside this literal Eden as

aboriginal man was confronted by the

which he should not eat or touch or
smell. His environment was that Of

THE AGE or AN OYSTER.
Eon Can Tell II by the Lines on the
Hinge OF the Shell.

Eou Can Tell II by the Lines ON the
Hinge OF the Shell.
IN some ways an oyster Is smarter
shan the man who eats him, but in one
aspect the consumer has his victim
eaten In the matter OF wisdom. The
oneuiner has learned the art of max
ng up" to conceal his age; the oyster
has not. Any one who wishes to do
50 can 1nd out just how old an oyster
is. The lines ia the groove or 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, 1t is bound to
overlap its predecessor and leave a
ridge which, no doubt is just as am
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
uIarity, but after that they fairly pile
over each other, just as II the little
biValye'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 oysSt 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
go 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 q pretty
good price for pint or a quart Of
him. BY this 1t must not be inferred
that after an oyster has passed the
four layer period and has FIVE, ten or
even 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 delicious meal
This is an unusual age for an oyster
to attain, because few Of them are Civ
