Questions of Economy.

A quart of tub oyster costs you 4Oc.
1t is half water. You pay zoe for pint
of water, or SOC for quart of oysters.
Rather expensive whichever way you
figure.
Isn't it more sensible to pay nearly
as much for pint of "Sealshipt'
Oysters solid meats-as you pay for a
quart Of watered oysters? "Sealshipt"
are firm, fresh, clean-no water-no
melted ice-no possible contamination.
And the pint of "Sealshipt' will go as
far as quart of watered oysters-to
say nothing Of the fine, snappy sea-favor.
"Sealshipt' come packed in steel
container with ice around the container
not in the oysters. We sell "Seal-
shipt' only, and guarantee them.

"a Cowboys Girl which comes to
Van Werden's opera house, Thursday,
October Sth, has proved one of the most
popular of the plays of western life.
The play is pretty heart story of the
"Lone Star" state, of brave women and
handsome men, picturesque in it's cow
boy and Mexican dressing and romantic
in it's story of the plains in the early
days. Jack Sutton is the typical cow
boy of the better class. not unlike the
Virginian, only Texas man born and
bred. Nell, the cowboys girl, is the
real girl of the west, raised on the
plains with only the society of the
rough cowboys she has missed the in
fluence and culture of higher civiliz-
alton, but wears the stamp of innocence
and purity SO often missing in the So
ciety belle. The story is replete with
scenes of strong hearts interest, is
abundantly supplied with comedy in
|digent to the country and possesses an
atmosphere at once refreshing and rest
full after the continuous monotony of
society plays and their stilted plots.

Science and art may invent splendid
modes of Illuminating the apartments

and worthless compared with the light
which the sun sends into our windows
which he pours freely, impartially, over

eastern and western sky; and so the
common lights of reason and conscience
and love are of more worth and dignity
than the rare endowments which give
celebrity to few.-Dr. Claiming.
