Oysters Opened That Way With Pur.
pose, the Waiter Said.
The waiter had taken long time In
getting the oysters. but as he was well
known to his guests and his guests to
him that occasioned no comment.
When the oysters were brought the
waiter set them down before his Gus
toner ind asked:
do you like them better that way? p
The diner looked. but he didn't no
tice any difference. so he asked. What
way?''
'Why, on the fat SHE'LL" replied the
waiter. Don't you see they aren't on
the curved part Of the shell. as usualY

it." said the diner. but don't exact
" get the significance"
"Well. you see." said the waiter.
'they always keep them upstairs on
the round shell. and when any one calls
for oysters If they do come on the
round shell it isn't certainty that
they have been opened fresh. Some
times they aren't good. just because
they have been standing. When l call
for them on the fiat shell. as |, do for
some of my customers. then they have
to open them specially for that order.
In that way you get them fresh."
"Ah. seew remarked the diner.
But when he told the professional
cynic about it the cynic said some
thing about betting that they kept
them standing opened in both ways.
sBesides, any one knows they look
fatter on the fat she'll. which is all
the more reason they'd be likely to
serve them to some folks that way. If
they asked for extra large oysters
they'd get them on the fat she'll. The
same oysters on the curved she'll would
go as ordinary sized oysters" remark

A long expected French lugger was
seen making for the roadstead, and
the Lowestoft free traders were on
the alert. anxiously seeking an oppor-
tunity for communicating with her
crew While they waited for lapse
of vigilance on the part of the excise
men boat was lowered from the lug
ger and rowed toward the shore. A
curious crowd of beach men and ex-
else men assembled to meet her, and
as she came in on the crest of roller
it was observed that she contained
coffin
The French boatmen had a mourn
full tale to tell. On board the lugger
had been an Bnglishman suffering
from an illness which soon proved ia
tai. In his last moments Of conscious
ness he had begged the captain not to
bury him at sea. but to keep his body
until resting place could be found
for it under the green turf Of a church
yard in his native land. Sympathy
with his sad fate and the knowledge
that the lugger was not far from the
English coast had induced the captain
to consent. and now he had sent the
body ashore for burial. In spite Of
his broken English the Frenchmen's
spokesman told his tale well.
Both excise men and beach men
especially the latter-loudly expressed
their admiration of the captains con-
duct. parson was summoned. and
in little while a mournful procession
made its way from the beach to the
churchyard. Even the chief officer Of
the excise men was present and is said
to have shed tears.

churchyard contained a desecrated
