ACE of oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. 1t is easy after look
ing over bunch of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes: then. by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. oysters
live to be 20 years old.

Can't Get Away From IT

Is 1t possible to nourish, strengthen and Re
build the Brain by Food?
Every man who thinks uses up part of the
brain each day Why don't 1t all disappear
and leave an empty skull in say month of
brain work? Because the man rebuilds each
day.
If he builds little less than he destroys,
brain flag and nervous prostration result sure
II he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure. Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the
Ice OF the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about it, the rebuilding material must
be in this food and drink.
That also is sure.
Are tina brain rebuilding materials found in
all food? III good variety but not in suitable

"kickjnu the Bucket,

When we speak facetiously, of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having kicked the bucket" we
employ a phrase that would seem to
be piece of latter-day slang, but as
matter of fact, it dates back to old
England, when. about the year 1875,
one Bolsover hung himself to a beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket, and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, 1t has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.
