THE LETTER "R" MYTH.

1t will be of great interest to every
housewife who enjoys good oysters tc
learn that oysters are in better con.
dition and flavor in March, April and
May than they are in February.
If the winter is severe oysters do
not have as much of their natural
food during January and February
and frequently lose little in plump
ness. As soon as the water begins
to get warmer in March and April,
the beautiful little microscopic dia-
toms, which constitute the principal
food Of the oysters, multiply much
more rapidly, consequently the oyster
grows fat and improves in texture
and flavor, SO that they are frequent
ly at their best in April and May.
In June, however, they begin to grow
milky, and while perfectly wholesome,
the flavor is not as appetizing as dur
ing the fall, winter and spring.
This information is important be-
cause there has been a popular idea

WHAT ANIMALS THINK ABOUT

This is the story of a monkey that
became a magician. But it should be
understood, in the first place, that the
narrative is fact, not fiction or ma.
tare fake, and secondly, that it is
related merely to illustrate q nat
uraly history proposition, the question
being, What do animals think about ?
The monkey in this case was q mac
aque, and occupied quarters not long
ago in the National zoo, at Washing
ton. One day, by mischance, it got
a Brazil nut wedged in one Of its
cheek pouches, and could not pull it
out Cheek pouches lin which these
creatures store surplus provender for

New York merical fraternity and
newspapers seized upon the first op-
portunity to ridicule Dr. friedman.
The explanation is not difficult.
Certainly no crime could be more
despicable than that OF man who
would maliciously or even carelessly
hold out promise of cure for tuber-
culosis that he could not fulfill. So
important matter as AN announced
cure for tuberculosis not only justi-
fies, but actually demands skepticism..
In addition DIR. friedman is unques-,
tionably of a peculiar mental make
up. He is far from practical, in a,
commercial sense, yet he is fully
aware of the wonder he has appa3-..
emily worked and he certainly desiI -
to obtain the legitimate rewards yG
his work and years of sacrifice de&66A
to research work. He has not ac-
cepted dollar for his services since
he came to New York, but he expects
to realize on his discovery ultimate
ly. Fourteen years work bending
over microscopes in a laboratory
have not tended to make him particu-
larly communicative. As the result
of these attributes, he was not as
frank at first as the newspaper men
and physicians thought a genuine
world benefactor should be. The re-
suit was storm of criticism.
But the young doctor was supreme
ly indifferent to criticism. Instead
of being broken in spirit or quitting
the country in huff, he settled down
to the task of proving that he has a
cure for tuberculosis. Today he has
not completely accomplished his OBJ
ject, but he has gone so far in ths
attempt that he has become the most
talked of man of the day in the
worlds highest medical circles.

There was man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise.
He opened many places, yet
He wouldn't advertise.
He thought it foolish to announce
His business as some think
They ought to do and said he had
No need of printers ink.
Promition of publicity,
He said, was something which
The more he had Of, that much less
His chance of getting rich.
He said he'd studied it and knew
That advertising would
Beyond the shadow of doubt
Do more harm than good.
Indeed, this man in our town
Was truly wondrous wise.
He was a burglar, which is why
He didn't advertise.

When it comes to monkeys, at the
other end of the scale, we have To do
with animals that, in view of some
of the most eminent naturalists to-
day, are properly to be regarded as
lesser races of man. Professor Ed
ward L. Thorndike of Columbia uni
versity says that the money "consti-
tutes with man a separate mental
genus, occupying mentally an inter-
mediate place between mammals in
general and the human species. Kin

as much in the monkeys minds as in
their physical likeness to men,"
Another distinguished Investigator
of this interesting subject, DR.. A. j.
Kinnaman, went so far as to institute
a competition in arithmetic between
monkeys and young children. He
found, through a variety of expert
ments, that monkeys at the age of
one year were able to count better
than human beings four years old.
But here the monkeys ability to COM
prehend numbers probably reaches its
limit, while that of man goes on al
most indefinitely.
A marked characteristic of the mon
keys mode of thought is its desultori-
ness. The simian animals does a lot
Of thinking; but its ideas are dis
connected. Its mind, of course, is a
stranger to logical processes, and it is
constantly jumping from one thing
to another. In all likelihood the same
remark would apply to the minds of
other creatures lower in the scale
though their mentality is less active
and less complex.
Nobody ever saw an animal laugh
How often one comes across that
statement set forth as if it was ar
undisputed fact! And yet, as DR.
Frank Baker says, it is absolutely un.
true. Who, for example, that knows
and loves dogs is unfamiliar with
their smile? A dog, when pleased, has
a smile as bright and expressive as
that of any human being; and, in mo-
ments of delight, he laughs aloud with
a joy bark that is different from
any other sound he utters. Other ami
mails display cheerfulness in similar
