A Whistling Oyster.

The proprietor of a London chop
house some years ago made fame
and fortune by the discovery of q
musical oyster. A distinct whistling
sound came from a newly opened
barrel of oysters. With eagerness
he hunted for the cause and found
an oyster which seemed to amuse
itself by whistling. The innkeeper
advertised it, and hundreds came
daily to his hostelry to listen to the
musicalsoyster. In due time the
oyster died, and its secret died with
il. 1t is supposed that the sound
was caused by the inspiration and
expiration Of air through tiny hole
in the shell. To this day the inn is
known as the Whistling Oyster.

Tho Seals Marvellous Instinct.

The instinct of the seal is marvel
ous. 1t will leave its young on the
ice in the morning and, going down
through a hole, remain away all
day swimming in search of food.
Returning in the evening" it will
locate its offspring in the same
"patch" among hundreds of thou
sands of other baby seals notwith-
standing that the ice may have
wheeled OF drifted fifty or sixty
miles during the day from wind and
tide and Notwithstanding that the
patch may extend thirty or forty
miles from one end to the other.

MAKING RICE PAPER.
Il 10 Shaved From the White Pith OF
Trees In Formosa.

The so called rice paper is not
made from rice, as its name implies,
but from the snow white pith OF a
small tree belonging to the genus
aralia. genus represented in this
country by the common sars4parllla
and the spikenard. The tree grows
in Formosa and, so far as is known,
nowhere else. The stems are trans
ported to China, and there the rice
paper is made. 1t is used, aside
from a number of other purposes,
by the native artists for water color
drawings and sometimes is dyed in
various colors and made into arti-
fetal flowers.
The tools of the pith worker COM
prise a smooth stone about foot
square and large knife or hatchet
with a short wooden handle. The
blade is about a foot long, two
inches broad and nearly half an
inch thick at the back, and it is as
sharp as. a razor.
Placing piece of the cylindrical
pith on the stone and his left hand
on the top, the pith worker will roll
the pith backward and forward for
a moment until he gets it in the
required position. Then, seizing
the knife with his right hand, he
will hold the edge of the blade after
a feint or two close to the pith,
which he will keep rolling to the
left with his left hand until moth
ing remains to unroll, for the pith
has, by the application of the knife,
been pared into square white sheet
of uniform thickness. All that re-
mains to be done is to square the
edges.
If one will roll up a sheet of pa
per, lay it on a table, place the left
hand on top and gently unroll it to
the left he will have good idea OF
how the feat is accompished.-New
York Herald.

INVESTING MONEY.
Methods by Which Fortunes Have
Been Made In Wall Street.

Methods by Which Fortunes Have
Been Made In Wall Street.
Some persons like to throw dice
or play poker for money, while 9TH
ers buy real estate, Wall street Sc
curities, wheat. cotton, wool or 9TH
er produce.
In the former class you find the
gamblers. They do not bank on
their judgment, but on their luck.
In the latter class you find the in
vestors, who buy because in their
Judgment they can make money
later on by selling.
A man who buys a house with the
hope of selling it at better price
goes and looks at it.
He finds where it is located, how
it is built, whether the neighbor-
hood is improving, what it rents for,
the taxes it must pay and all the
other incidentals on which to base
his best judgment.
This man, in nine cases out of
ten, will make money, while the
gambler will just as surely lose The
latter may have little temporary
success, but the chances are against
him, as they always are against the
gambler. On the other hand, the
investor wins out in the majority Of
cases.
The fortunes that have been
made in Wall street-and there are
plenty of them-have been made by
investors, seldom by gamblers. How
can one determine the value of Sc
curities before he buys them? By
inquiring into their earnings, their
dividends, the character of the man
agement and other matters not diff
cult to ascertain.
Because so many persons are
eager to make money in stocks, pro-
noters of questionable enterprises
send out circulars of the most al
Turing character, promising enor-
nous returns to those who will buy
the shares of securities that mves-
tors never touch.
In these days the corporations
publish their earnings more freely
and accurately than ever before. On
the financial pages of any leading
paper these reports appear. They
are the best barometer of the stock
market, much better than the tips
from brokers' offices and even from
bankers, for both are sometimes
more interested in selling securities
on a good commission than in any
thing else.
A man who would buy piece Of
real estate in an undesirable neigh
borhood and where property was de-
preciating would be looked upon as
foolish, but men will buy the shares
of securities that show declining
earnings and bad management and
wonder why they lose.-Jasper in
Lesie's Weekly.

Window Mirrors.

In continental towns one fre-
quently sees a mirror at the side of
a window so placed that people in
the room may see reflected therein
the view up or down the street. In
some bygone periods of English
street architecture it was customary
to bay almost all the windows at
least enough to enable the occu-
pants Of the houses to look along
the streets.

ri. Cynical Point Of View.

There is a politician in Chicago
who, though Of rather a cynical
turn, tries hard to refrain from the
expression Of his pessimistic senti-
ments while at home or with his
friends. Now and then, however,
his cynicism gets the better Of him.
One day his twelve-year-old son,
who had been reading, suddenly put
down his book and, looking up at
his father, asked:
dad, is it really true that there
is honor among thievesw
"No, my son." said dad, Thieves
are just as bad as other people. -

The Mohammedan Judgment Day.

The Koran has this to say con-
cerning the general Judgment day."
which nearly all religions teach in
common: "When the sun shall be
folded up, and when the stars shall
fall, and when the mountain shall
be made to pass away, and when the
wild beasts shall be gathered to-
gether, and when the seas shall boil,
and when souls shall again be join
ed to their bodies, and when the
girl who hath been buried alive shall
ask for what crime she was put to
death, and when the books shall be
laid open, and when the heavens
shall be removed, and when hell
shall burn fercely, and when para
disc shall be brought near, then
shall every soul know what it hath
wrought"

FOOLED HIM BADLY.
Now He Kicks on Letters Written In
the Third Person.


In one of the Paris restaurants a
party of literary men were discuss
ing the merits of various epistolary
styles. One of them, Monsieur A,
made fierce attack on letters writ
ten in the third person, such "a
"Monsieur Y. has the honor to in
FORM" and so on. Another of the
party defended them, maintaining
that they were not only more cere-
monious, but that they were more
polite.
s'That's a good idea!'' replied
Monsieur A. "The foundation Of
all politeness in letter writing is to
express clearly what you mean to
say. Now. nothing can be more
ambiguous than these confounded
notes in the third person. I will
just tell you what happened to my
self. / received from my friend D..
the chief of division, a billet doux.
which I will show YOU"
Taking the note from his pocket.
Monsieur A. read as follows:
Monsieur D., chief of division at
the war office, hastens to inform his
friend, Monsieur A., that he has
just been named chevalier of the
Legion of Honor"
"You can fancy my delight at
reading this note," continued Mon
sieur A. "1 was the happiest man
in the world. | ran to an engraver
and ordered him to make the flat
tering addition to my cards, Mon
sieur A., Chevalier Of the Legion
of Honor I ran to MERGERS and
bought piece of the richest red
ribbon for my buttonhole. I ran
to the houses of my friends for the
pleasure of receiving their con-
gratulations. At last 1 ran to my
friend DIS. As soon as L caught
sight of him threw myself into his
arms. sAh, my dear fellow I ex-
claimed, you have no idea what
pleasure you have given. How shall
I ever thank you sufficiently?
"You are an excellent fellow, my
worthy A., to sympathize thus with
my happiness
"'Thank you for that expression
the decoration is mine, and the hap
piness is yours
"tHow is that? Have you re-
ceived the order?'
"'Certainly; have not?'
"No, my good friend; tits I who
am now made chevaier.'
"YouY
"'Yes. You deserve the honor
more than 1 do, but, nevertheless,
it has been conferred on me-
"But you wrote me word that l
had received the cross I took his
letter out Of my pocket and showed
it him. Alas! / now understood
clearly what meaning ought to as
sign to the ambiguous phrase. The
deuce take you and your note,' /
said to D. Instead Of your affected
and formal announcement in the
third person, why could you not
write to me simply and plainly, 'My
dear friend, I have the pleasure of
informing you that I now am decore
chevalier ?""

The Thirsty Elm.

It has been computed that if the
leaves of an elm tree sixty feet high
were spread out on the ground
edge to edge they would cover five
acres of land. These leaves, averag-
ing 100000 to full grown tree,
will absorb water to the amount, OF
seven tons during the normal sum-
mer day. Were it not for the in
gathering by the stomata during the
night a few elms would soon draw
off all the water from district.

Drawing With Closed Eyes.

Charlet had seen Napoleon sew

image of the emperor was so strong

could draw him with his eyes clos

begin. "At the heel of the right

Misfortunes.

If all the misfortunes of mankind
were cast into public stock in or
der that they might be equally dis
tributed among the whole species
those who now look upon them
selves as the most unhappy Of
mortals would prefer the share they
are already possessed of before that
share which would fall to them by
such division.-Socrates.

1.-THE Fourth Estate"

The expression "the fourth es,
tate" as applied to the public press
was first used by Edmund Burke in
allusion to the three estates of the
realm-lords, clergy and commons
constituting the British parlia-
ment. The indication was of the
great influence of journalism in the
domestic and foreign affairs of
Great Britain.

Growing Bodies.

Growing bodies have the most in
nate heat, they therefore require
the most food, for otherwise their
bodies are wasted. In old persons
the heat is feeble and therefore
they require little fuel, as it were,

fevers in old persons are not equal
ly acute, because their bodies are
cold.-Health Culture.

"For ones wits to 60 woolgather-

dustry sometimes seen in Older
