tibility." For the invalid it is espec-
tally valuable, for it is the only known
food that will not at some time or an
other nauseate the patient, being UNI
questionably the most easily digested
of all animal foods.
, Some reputable physicians however,
have maintained that the use of the
oyster should never be permitted any
diabetic patient. The Lancet, the
most influential medical organ in
Great Britain, disagrees with this.
1t says:
According TO our analysis the
amount of liver sugar in the oyster
was very small, and certainly consid-
cradle less than half that found by
previous observers. We made a num-
Der of experiments on this point and
in no instance did the amount of
glycogen in the raw oyster exceed l
per cent.
"a further examination of the or
ganic portion of the oyster revealed
the presence of glycero-phosphoric
compounds, which are now used in
medicine in the form Of lecitline and of
the glycero-phosphates of the alkaline
metals for the purpose of improving
the general nutrition of the nervous
system.
"The results on the whole show that
although the actual amount of nu-
tritive material in a raw oyster is
small, yet this material comprises all
classes of food substances, namely,
proteid, carbohydrates, fat and certain
mineral salts, Moreover, the flesh
of the oyster undoubtedly contains
these substances in a peculiarly as
simable form
apart from the extreme delicacy of
the oyster and from its peculiarly APP
petizing flavor there are we think
reasons on purely dietetic grounds
why attention should continue to be
given to the cultivation of the oyster,
which, as the foregoing results indi-
cate, is an excellent article of food"

Eek LITERARY Glue.

Among the many entertainments
of the Fisk Literary Club none has
been more successful or more delight
full than that held at the home of

]. Lischey Saturday, November 81.
The house, which is beautiful in all of
its appointments, was profusely deco
rated with potted plants and yellow
chrysanthemums; the dining-room be-
ing especially attractive with its
plaque of hrysanthemums and ferns.
Streamers of sold and blue hung from
the chandeliers, and were artistically
entwined among the flowers. The
meeting was more in the nature of a
reception to the club, so business was
dispensed with, and the following
program rendered:

"The oyster is the key to that para
disc called appetite"
That's what Prof. John R. Philpots
says, and he knows more about oy-
STEERS than all the shuckers from Ches-
:apeake Bay to Cotuit.
Just why we think of oysters as a
modern dainty it would be hard to
tell, but probably half of the men and
women who scan the oyster section OF
the bill of fare do cherish that delu-
sion Nevertheless in Nero's time
millions of bushels of oysters were
eaten annually in Rome.
But even Nero becomes an object OF
n tty to the American when we read
fin ait the best oysters he had to eat
we're supported from Britain Prob
ably the Roman Emperors had the
same delusion that we have. They
doubtless considered that in providing
an OYSTER course at their banquets
they we've bringing their menu strict
ly up to date.
They didn't know that in primeyal
: times the oyster shucker was an i'm
portant parsonage. This must nave
been so, for in the remains known as
Kitchen middens in Denmark there
are thousands and thousands OF oy
,ster shells bearing evidences of hav
ing been artifcially opened Not only
that, but DR.. Schliemann in his search
for the ancient city of Troy found oy
ester shells i'm the ruins of the prehis
Horic settlements of Hissarlik.
A writer IN the National Magazine
SAYS that the oyster is valuable no
so much for its nutritive qualities
and these must not be underestimate
by any means-as for Its pecuila

A MULE AMONG THE WATERS.

 Why do you call that waiter the mule'?' l asked Estren, the head walter at the Colonnade. We had been having little side talk about the workings of the big restaurant,
 "The big, black, good-natured fellow over there?'
 Yes l answered, indicating a man not unlike Joe Walcott, the boxer, in appearance.
 Because he's a kicker No chef in the world could withstand his combn. ed verbal and f1stic batteries when he lets loose-and it's always in the guests interest, too. He wants what he wants when he wants 1t. His services are always in demand The name was fastened to him at Palm Beach years ago when he was waiting on the late President Cleveland. The pomplno wasn't properly garnlshed and after m argument something happened to the chef. He's been trained since however and with a little coaxng will now eat out of your hand There Is only one thing he's afraid of--he don't fancy ghosts, He declares all black ghosts are white, and says he knows because he's seen 'em."
 l noticed that the general appearance of the walters was good and said so.

II a man should come tramping into
your parlor, besmearing the rugs or
carpets with the mud, slime and filth
that had adhered to his boots as he
worked in the sewers or walked In the
wet, cutters, there would be an ex-
ceedingly lively protest and a very
thorough cleaning after he had been
ordered out or kicked out. A resort
to violent measures to get rid OF such
an affront and menace would be up
held by the courts and by public senti-
ment. And yet just such a nuisance,
only more impudent and dangerous, Is
tolerated in every house, with but lit
tie effort 10 expel him or with but in
different protests as to his presence.

filing rugs and carpets and furniture,
but who deliberately and with intent
sets his dirty feet anywhere, even
upon the victuals you eat.

Amid this pandemonium, and with
the galleries in full control, Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such call, under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion, has probably never before &C.
Cured in the history of national con-
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor.
Selling megaphone he shouted the
roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually, however, the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into
silence to hear the result of the roll
call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511, or 20 more than enough to NOM
mate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker Of Ohio 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
Of Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, rs votes; for
Charles E. Hughes Of New York, GO
votes; for Philander c. Knox Of Penn
sylvania, 68 votes, and William H. Taft
of Ohio, 7O2 votes.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and with
one accord the cohorts Of Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other
heroes, Joined in a common tribute for
the candidate of the party.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi.
dency was not made until Friday.
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
to support Representative James s.
Sherman of New York as the running
mate Of the secretary Of war.
Three names were placed in nomi-
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher-
man was named as New York's choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor Of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild of Massachusetts was placed In
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Ex-
Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun 1t was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu-
lar, choice of the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane Of
Massachusetts moved that 1t be made
unanimous and 1t was carried with a
shout Of approval.
The usual motions Of acknowledge
ment to the officers Of the convention
and to the city in which It was held
: were then passed.
