If every railroad official expressed
himself as frankly and clearly to the

with az much consideration, it is safe
to say that the hostility manifested
IL various quarters to the railroads
would be much diminished, if indeed
it existed. Mir. Finley appealed par

OYSTERS WITH A DIFFERENCE
Sealshipt oysters are packed in a
sanitary, germ-proof, enameled case,
which is sealed. Tub oysters are
packed in stale, Shiny, soggy, wood
en- tub with loose cover.
Sealshipt oysters are handled only
by the men who shuck them at the
beds. Tub oysters are tended by the
hand--too often grimy-of the railway
employees.
Sealshipt oysters are projected from
germs by an air-tight, sealed case.
Tub oysters are packed in a tub with
an ill-fitting removable cover, often
out of place.
Sealshipt oysters do not come in
contact with ice-it is packed around
the case. Tub oysters have ice put
directly among them, often bruising
and communicating them.
SealshipG oysters have delicious
piquancy, the true "half-shell" flavor
Tub oysters are fiat, insipid, with no

We're offered. Medium quality light
feeders and plain grade stockers were
particularly poor sellers all week and
demand for thin little stockers was
also very unreliable. The latter could
be had a prices which should have
warranted better buying. but most
country buyers here during the week
were after strong weight steers to
short feed for the early winter markets.
Dealers could have sold goodly num-

they been able to get them. but there
were few heavy lots here. These would
have landed at $4.S5@5.00. Few range

got most of them. Only few natives
sold above $475 and most medium to
good steers at s4.4O@4.65. while fair

Care Of chameIeons.
(st. Nicholas Magazine)

NSl. NlCIlOltS MdSdHlHSJ
Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making frame to fit over
a plant in a hoWerpot, and covering
it with mosquito netting, which must
be long enough to tie with a string
about the pot. Keep the pot in the
sunniest window and water the plant
every day thru the netting You will
be surprised to see how eagerly the
little creatures will drink the running
water after they get over their fear.
Set wire fytrap for flies which you
can liberate under the netting. The
chameleons will not be backward about
helping themselves.
In winter they do not require much
food, but will relish meal worm. oc-
casionally. on sunny days Meal worms
can sometimes be got at the grain
stores for the asking or can be pur-
chased at the bird stores, or small
spiders can be found in cracks and
crannies asleep for the winter: they
may be frozen stiff if found out doors,
but they revive in a warm room.
Chameleons enjoy place to sleep
in nights and winters. Take piece
of red flannel four inches wide and
eight inches long; roll it over stick
as large round as your finger. and sew
it while on the stick so that it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
a wire thru it long enough to suspend
it from one of the branches on the
plant. The chameleons will crawl into
this cozy bed and go to sleep.
