large and handsome building will be
erected in the city in the near future
The directors are at present looking
for a site of at least 5000 square feet.
The understanding is that a large
structure will be constructed. A con-
siderable force of workmen will ulti-
mately be employed and a prosperous
industry is to be added to those al
ready located in the city. 1t is stated
that a force of from 20 to 40 people
will be employed at the beginning.
The board of directors at the Oc-
tober session just closed gave con-
siderable discussion to the proposed
plant and efforts have been made to
secure a site adjacent to the present
office building.

the board desires to erect the printing
plant on an adjoining side this is not
necessary and any site between FIT

| The proposition comes before the
board again at its November meeting,
and any owner of a suitable site may

Tho Father Of West Point.

George Washington must be given
the credit of causing the first steps to
be taken toward the founding of ma
tional military academy. In 1794, while
serving his second term as president,
Washington succeeded In having con-
gress create the grade of cadet in the
army. West Point was chosen as the
best army post at which cadets could
be trained, for the reason that it was
then the most important station Of the
artillerists and engineers. The cadets
OF those days did not pass entrance
examinations, and the standard of pro-
ficiency in studies did not amount to
the tenth part Of what is exacted now
adays. A smattering Of engineering,
mathematics and artillery practice was
all that was deemed necessary. - St.
Nicholas.

A Business Proposition That Just
Failed Of Success.
There lived in Detroit a man who
was the champion letter writer to the
newspapers and to the heads of all
public enterprises. Que of his fads was
to write every day to President Led
yard of the Michigan Central railroad
and tell Ledyard wherein he was fail
ing in the conduct of his road.
There was a letter for Ledyard every
morning. They annoyed him, and he
sent for his general counsel one day
and said: Russell, I'm getting tired Of
these letters. l will give you $4,000
more a year If you will find that man
and stop him for twelve months"
Three thousand dollars more a year
appealed to Russell, and he went out
to find the letter writer. He found
him and made business proposition
Nov, see here" he said II want you
to stop writing letters to Mr.. Ledyard.
If you will quit for year will give
you $1,000"
The letter writer consented gladly.
Things went along swimmingly for
eleven months. Ledyard was happy,
and Russell was happy. Then there
was wreck on the road. The letter
writer could not resist the opportunity,
and he wrote to Ledyard and told him
what he thought about the road and
it's president and its management.
Ledyard sent the letter to Russell
with this Endorsement: This Is where
you lose $1,000" And it was.-Satur-

Effect Of Leaking Gas Upon Trees.

The injurious effect of escaping gas
upon trees is subject that has not re-
ceived the attention it merits in spite
OF the fact that there must be thou
sands of trees either injured or killed
in the United States every year by
mat means The Surveyor thus calls
attention to what 1t considers serious
matter for any town to guard against
and further states that Gin severe
cases of gas poisoning, such as take
place where there Is large leak, eff
fects on tree are very pronounced,
and where tree has once been thus
injured there is no hope Of recovery.
Trees affected with Illuminating gas
are very susceptible to rapid disinte-
grafton" One of the first effects in
summer would be yellowing and dry
ing up Of the foliage. The trunk gen.
orally, but not always. presents dark
ened color, showing absence of life.
Certain characteristic fungi make their
appearance much sooner on trees af-
fectcd by gas than on those dying from
other causes.

THE AGE OF AN OYSTER.


In some ways an oyster is smarter
than the man who eats him, but In one
respect the consumer has his victim
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 Glc groove Of the
hinge OF the shell tell the whole sto-
ry These lines are true index to
the number of layers composing the
she'll being. In fact, nothing else than
their attrnlEted taHs. One of these
layers grows each year, and, no matter
how hard the sensitive oyster may try
to keep II from showing. it is bound to
overlap its predecessor and leave u
ridge which, no doubt, is just as an
nOying to the oyster tribe as an an
nual wrinkle would be to the human
race.
Up to the time of an oysters NATL
rity these layers are arranged with reg
ularity, but after tii:t 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 ut 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 Il family and
go to market. Going to market Is O
disastrous undertaking and Is geneH
ally the last Of him. for fOur-year-
old oyster Is particularly palatable, and
people do not hesitate to pay a pretty
good price for II pint or 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 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 n 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
1t Is quite probable that the oyster
would live to become an Octogenarian
or even a centenarlan. New York
