OYSTERS ARE LAZY.

They Spend Practically tho Whole Of
Their Lives In Beds.
Just like confirmed invalids, oysters
spend their lives in beds. The prin-
cipa1 parts of an oyster are salt water
and handsome stomach.
Every oyster has mother-of-pearl
lined overcoat with the moss on the
outside But Waldorf Astoria .oys-
ter gathers no moss.
Oysters, as rule. keep their mouths
shut, but when they have been in So
ciety too long they begin to cape.
They are fond of playing games, one
of their favorites being ring-around-
a-rosy. In this game they join shells
in circle on a plate. They live in the
ocean in summer and during the win
ter months frequent the principal no.
tells and restaurants. where they have
reserved seats on cakes of ice spe-
cially prepared for them. They are
rarely met with at huskings or church
fairs.
An oyster is conchologist by ma
ture, b1valVe by procession and an
appetizer because he cannot help him.
self. There are girl oysters as we'll as
men oysters: but, so far as is known.
one is not superior to the other.
Oysters vary in size according to
their circumstances and their bringing
up. Some are harder to swallow than
others. There is no particular rule
about this. But If at first you don't
succeed. try. try again.
In June the oysters ought to be as
rare as the days.-Thomas L. Mason

The Scales on the Hair,

If you look at a human hair under
the microscope you will find that it's
surface is formed Of successive over
tapping scales. The bristles of the hog
bear much resemblance to the human
hair, though their diameter is greater
and the tilelike scales are much finer.
Sleeps hair has much coarser scales.
1t is owing to the existence of these
scales that one is able by a peculiar
process to tell which is the tip and
which the other end Of hair rolling
it between his finger and thumb. Thus
manipulated the hair always travels
in the direction of the base because
the edges Of the scales prevent it from
going the other way.

DEMANDS A RECEIVER.
Joseph MeIich Says FIRMS Affairs Are
I'm Bad shape.

The affairs of Cunningham & Co, Of
Bingham, are in rather a bad mess,
though the partnership was started
only last month. This, at least, is the
story of Joseph Melich, who yesterday
brought an action in the district court
against c. S. Cunningham demanding
an accounting of the money handled
by the company, asking that a receiver
be appointed and that Cunningham be
restrained from disposing of any of
the money or property of the company
or mixing IN the future management of
the concern. The company has some
leases on a saloon at $50 Main street,
Bingham, and some houses, which
leases are said to be valued at $4,000.
Cunningham was to receive $3.50 a
month. 1t is claimed by Melich that
the receipts have been $3,325.S5 since
March /, with expenses of $1,646.S5,
leaving a balance of S1,679. He says
Cunningham has appropriated at least
$1,000 of this amount to himself, and
that he says there is only S341 coming
to the company, which he refuses to
deposit. Melich wants the court to take
the matter in hand and straighten the
trouble. chiefly getting cpRnin~bAna
out Of the way.
