OYSTERS ARE LAZY.
They Spend Practically the Whole Of
Their Lives In Beds.

Their Lives In Beds.
Just Ike confirmed invallds, oysters
spend their lives in beds. The prin-
c!pal parts OF an oyster are salt water
and handsome stomach.
Every oyster has n mother-of-pearl

outside But n Waldorf-Astorla oys-
ter gathers no moss.
Oysters, as n rule. keep their mouths
shut but when they have been in SO

They are fond OF playing games. one
of their favorites being ring-around.

SELF. There are girl oysters as well as
men oysters: but, SO far as is known,
one Is not superior TO the other.
oysters vary in size according 10
their circumstances and their bringing

others. There is no particular rule
about this. But II at first you don't

Presently he rose from his seat with

carried IL 10 the piano and. seating
himself. took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture OF lifo ana
death.
Then. drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton. he laid the
latter's fingers over his own and began
10 play. There was no hesitation in
the slow. measured Cow OF sound
which he anG the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music swelled IN n louder
strain | closed my eyes. for there was
something weird IN that picture Of
