Ancfsnts Loved Oysters,

That the oyster was in common use by primeval man has been conclusive ly shown by the discovery in the kitchen middens" of Denmark of many thousands of oyster shells, show. ing every evidence of having been ar. titically opened In ancient Greece also, the oyster apears to have been a recognized delicacy. for Dr. Henry Sehliemann, the eminent German archaeologist-who, 1t will be remem bered, became an American citizen during the great California gold rush in his historic search for the ancient and somewhat mythical city of Troy found many oyster shells in the ruins of tho five prehistoric settlements of Hissarlik.
 But 1t was Rome in the height of her power and opulence that. by sing ling out the oyster as the piece de tc istance of the Roman banqueting halls, conferred upon the oyster it's just title as one of the most delicious and appetizing foods within the grasp of man National Magazine.

HABITS AND BRAIN RECORDS.
A Noble Personality the Result of Noble Desires Inscribed In Brain.

Remember that the brain is the in- strument through which the real per sonality expresses himself; and he can only express what is already writ ten there. says writer in the Nauti- Jus. Consequently, the external man will be just what is inscribed upon his brain, for all his actions must be die tated or directed through these brain records. You cannot saw wood with a hammer; nor can the soul play . piano with the fingers until the knowl- edge of piano playing is written in the music place of the brain. You cannot show forth a high and noble person ality until you have written within your skull a record of nofle and holy desires; according to the tools you give it. so will the expression of your soul be.
 You van wind up phonograph, and you may make 1t run fast or slow, but you cannot make it say any thing that Is not on the records. If some one had put his opinion of you on a record even though you knew that opinion to be untrue. you could not make the record tell the truth; the only thing possible would be to make another. You have written your opIn- ion of yourself upon your brain; you cannot be anything else until you change the record.

Stephenson told the story of his expenditure of more than $loi. 900. This, he said was spent through his agents who called upon him When- ever they needed money.

LAUGHTER NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
Evidences of Merrlment Sometimes by
 No Means Satisfying.

"of course, you have heard" said the man with sensitive ear, "a laugh that jared. I don't mean" he con tinued, "so much laugh at an mop portune time-I imagine we have an heard such laughs-as a laugh the quality of which is unpleasant. There Is something contagious in laughter of the right kind, even though you may be the object of 1t. It bubbles from the well of good humor; there is no hidden thought, or 'arriere pensee, as the French say, behind it. It is the essence of frankness; 1t is spontane- ous and wholesouled. and .c cleanses the system of the laughter, and. too, of the nearer. like spiritual bath.
 "Sut there are other kinds of laugh ter. The sneering laugh is perhaps the most familiar. Then there is a quiet langh-a sibilant secretive sort of laugh that Is quite as certain to mean mischief. Another laugh, dis agreeable in it's nature, Is the high pitched, nervous cachination that comes either from embarrassment or Is mere vocal habit The worst laugh of all. however, to my mind, is hat mirthless sound provoked by the distress or embarrassment of others and it rasps. naturally, most Of all the object calling it forth. A person laughed at and hurt never forgets tho experience"

 Kissing.
 Kissing. which has become SO com. mon thing in this day. was not done al all in public in my young days. said an ancient dame as she witnessed two women embrace each other at the Grand Central station when they met and again when they parted and said "Good-by." T cannot remember when 1t first began to be; ! only remember time when such a thing would have been thought unseemly.
 Except al children's parties, when we played the pane of Pillows and Keys, never saw kissing. It simply wasn't the custom of the people then l sur pose it must have been the infln. ence of the Puritan ancestry of so many of that day The practice has crept in from Europe, especially from England where 1t Is so commonly done. It doesn't indicate any special fondncss for the persona om 9raced , it is merely form of sautatian"

 HORSE.
AUTHORITIES REFUSED REQUEST OF WIFE
He Died Hating the Whites and True to Tribunal Teschlngs--5ut 200 Braves Remsin--Ceremonie at Grave the Old Indian Rites-A New Chief Has Been Appointed.

Iawton. Ok. Feb. i9-Geronimo must walk to the happy hunting grounds. The Great Spirit the Apache warrior served was not mighty enough to break the white mans prejudice. So the benighted pale-face kept Geron- imo's widow from sending his favorite mount to the grave with him and the poor chief, ehafed by the bars of his prison and the crushing of his spirit in this life, will have to struggle alone over the stony way to his heaven and walk where others proudly ride.
 Geronimo died in the old faith. The mutation of time had no power over the Apache He died as he had lived. Once when he was very i'll and feared death the old chief joined the re formed church He got well and crayed whisky The church threw him out. But it had served its usefulness, so Geronimo didn't mind. He went back to the old ways, and his widow, as soon as she was convinced that the last war chief was really dead. tried O get his sorrel driving horse and XII it. It was only by repeated efforts on the part of the authorities that she was prevented.
 The funeral was held Thursday after the arrival of the chiefs children from the Chilocco Indian school The 200 braves of the Apaches followed the procession to the cemetery north of Fort Sill and there ceremony as near like the old Indian rite as possible was performed

Remarking on the physical disabili- ties of men who have occupied seats in the senate in his time, the yener- able Senator Gallinger of New Hamp- shire related in the cloakroom the oth- CT day a story of Senator simon Cam eron of Pennsylvania.
 Tt was during Cameron's last term in the senate. said he "A few of us were asked to visit the battlefield Of Gettysburg Cameron was among the number.

WINDS UP ITS WORK.
NATIONAL TARIFF CONVENTION ApJouRNs AFTER ADOPTING
 STRONG RESOLUTIONS.
OUT sTROEG FOR TARIFF COMMISSION
The Resolutions Demand 5 Permanent Body Of Experts and Provide for a Continuation of Present orqaniza- slon---42 States Represented-oeie- gates From 223 Organizations.

Indianapolis. Ind. Feb 1s.--Thc work of the National Tarir confer ence convention was nearly completed al night session after adopting reso. lutions seeking the creation Of per manent tarin commission and provid- ing for a permanent organization to carry on the work of the convention. After the morning session Thursday the convention adjourned.
 Demand for the immediate creation hy congress of permanent tariif com mission was voiced in resolutions adopted by the convention. To dispel any idea that delay in tariff revision is sought, and that the purpose of the gathering was to delay action on the pending tarir by congress, a provis ion was added urging that congress during its special session prepare and adopt revised tarif to the best Of its ability under present conditions.
 While the adoption of the resolu- tions was the subject of heated de bate, the arguments seemed based upon misunderstanding Of the commit tees report rather than radical diner ences of opinion and at the end the original report was adopted with the exception of few unimportant changes In phrasing. The resolutions follow:
 We demand from congress for the equal benefit of sll classes of the people and in the name of all Amer iean industry. Of farm. factory. labor and commerce. represented in the Na- tionai Tarin commission convention held at Indianapolis, consisting of delegates from &2 states and repre- senting 223 agricultural civic, com. mercial and industrial bodies, the lm- mediate creation of a permanent tariff commission, for the following pur poses and ends. through eongression al action

 .Fourth-The adjustment of the tarin schedules. so that they shall ef- feet all interests equitably

 We urge that prior to vhe passing of a bill creating such commission congress. during its special session about 10 be called, shall prepare and adopt. with the assistance of the best information presently available. re vised tarif. as completely and accur ately adjusted to present conditions and therefore as stable as is possible al this time"
