The *onsumer has learned the art of "mak Vnjr up to v-onc-eal his age, the oyster has not. Anj one A\ho -wishes to do so can tiud out just how old an ojster is. The lines the groove of the binge of the shell tell the whole sto ry These hues are a true index to the number ot lajers composing the shell, beiu in la t. nothing else than their attenuated tails. One ot these lajers lirows oah jear, and, no matter ho-v\ hard the «.t_MiMti\e o\ster maj tr t'^keep it Irom show iUir, it is l)ound to o*- -lap its predecessor and we a ridge wliK li, no doubt, is just a» an noj ing to the o\ ster tribe as an an nual ^unUle A\ould be to the human race Up to the time of an m.itu -i:y these lajers are arranged -with reg ularitj. but alter that thej laniy pile over e.u other, just as it the little a buthplace had crowded upon each other so rapidly that he didn't na\ time to spread out one new plate bet ore another was riant at his heels An oj srer comes ot age when he is four ears old 'om»ng of age the oj ster kingdom means that he is old enouirh to ike eaie of a tamily and 0 to market Going to market is a disastrous, uudeitaking and is gener ally the last OL him tor a tour-year old oj ster is particulai 1\ palatable, and people do not hesitate to paj a prettj good in toi a pint or a quart ot him.

Ijfcis is an unusual age for an oyster to attain, because few of them ai'e giv en an opportunity' to live so long. If left to enjoy life in his own quiet way it is quite probable that the oyster would live to become an octogenarian or eveu a centenarian. New York Press. BITS FROM THE WRITERS.

The guests re already seated, and Mrs Redvers, the hostess, made a hasty introduction of the newcomers She had rattled through a confusing number of names, then pointed to some gruny, collarless young men bending over the fire "And those are the cooks and wait ers." she cried mernlj. Mile de Saint Cyr eyed them curi ously as they brought over to the table great platters heaped with steaming clams. She never before had seen such untidy waiters. Everything at her aunt's had been conventional enough. Here at last was America, more as she had pictured it to herself.

"Sauce, sauce!" he cried. He halted by the girl, regarding her with evident approval. "Take some of this: it's good." he said frankly. Mile, de Saint Cyr looked at him in surprise. But per haps this was American too. And the sauce did look ood. "Thank you," she said gravely. The young man ran on. Bu presently he returned. "The lobsters are ready," he called, and there was rapid shifting of plates. How good everything tasted—the de licious chicken, the tender corn, the hot potatoes aud through them all the faint, indefinable saltish flavor of the seaweed! It was certainly great fun. And yet it was so utterly unlike any thing the girl ever had known in France. Straight from a convent school, this sudden freedom a 1'Americaine was at first a bit frightening. She ate demurely, watching the people about her with bright, curious eyes. The young man who had helped her to the sauce came back and dropped into an empty seat beside her, bring ing a well filled plate for himself. "I'm just about starved," he inform ed her. "I've been working so hard all day!" Aline glanced about her$i The other collarless youths were now also seated at the table, eating and talking busily. Perhaps this was the custom at clam bakes. But how odd! "You are tired," she said in her sweet, sympathetic little voice. "I sup pose you do not have to work so hard as this every day." laughed. "Thank goodness, no. Usually I am lazy enough." Aline looked at him with a serious smile. ., ', "I am sure you underestimate your self," she said kindly. "I do not see how any one in your—your profession" —she put it delicately—"can- be very lazy." "#''$%£."'** \~T An expressive shrug"answered her. "Only too easy," he returned.

"Are jo hurt?" he asked anxiously, and Aline knew it to be the dark young waiter But she could hardly speak. She was startled she was angry, yet some how not so angry as she felt she should be. She was shaking all o%er, but she tried to control herself, to utter a word of thanks. Her purse was at home she had nothing to offer the man for ha\ ing saved her life. She felt mor tified. Perhaps if he could come to her aunt's— "Monsieur." she essayed timidly—she could not bring herself to call him gar con—"I—I regret I have nothing to re ward you with except my gratitude, but later at my aunt's house"— "May I come and see you then?" he broke in eagerly. "I didn't know whether you would want me to. Bu I am often here at my sister's"— "Why—why. mj aunt"— stammered Aline. She was conscious of a horri ble sense of embarrassment. Surely her aunt would not approve. Oh, what could she say? This was dreadful. "Bob." called a voice from the shad ows. The young man started. "Bother," he growled. "Haven't I done enough for Lucie today? I sup pose she wants me to wash up." "Lucie." repeated Aline. ly. "She said it would be so much nicer and less formal if we boys did the cooking and serving. So she let all her people off for the day. But I draw the line at washing dishes." For one terrible moment everything wavered before Aline, her brain whirl ed. Then she faced him breathlessly. "What—what did you -say your pro fession was?" she demanded tensely. "Why. the law," surprised. "But." still breathless, "you spoke of waiting"— "For cases, of course," more and more surprised. "Oh, by Jove," as a sudden thought flashed into his own mind. "I say, you didn't think"— But Aline, her eyes very bright, set herj chin hard. "No." she said determinedly. "I didn't think. Wouldn't vou nt a me A in A Quaker in taking his usual wifik before dinner chanced to meet with a friend whom he had not seen for a long time, and, after a hearty shake of the hand aud a little friendly conver sation, he asked the friend in the usual mode to go home with him, saying: "Friend, wilt thou go and stick thy fork in my pudding today?" The friend replied in the affirmative. "Thank thee, neighbor, I will." And so the two Quakers trudged off home to gether. In consequence of the friend being just off a journey and a good trencher man also, he stuck his fork not only in his pudding, but in his meat as well, and, having passed his plate so many times and being almost ashamed to do so again without making an excuse, said: "Neighbor, according to custom, I cuts and comes again." "Well, friend." replied the Quaker, "thou shalt cut as long as thou think proper, now thou beest here, but," look ing him straight in the face, "come again thou never shalt."—London Mail. W a I a The question. Why is propriety pink is fallacious. Such expressions as "the pink of propriety" and "the pink of perfection" have really nothing to do with color at all, but descend from Mercutio's "very pink of courtesy," which is at once explained by Romeo as "pink for flower." Romeo's expla nation is either correct or a silly Shakespearean pun, ^'pink'ffjlreally standing for culminating '^point"— acme. In either case color does not come into the matter. The flower "pink" is not named after the color, but vice versa—contrariwise to the case of "carnation," in which the fleshy col or has given ^its name to the flower. A "pink" is so named either because the flower is "pinked." as punctured needlework or a punctured duelist is, or because it resembles an eyelet—the "pink eyne" of "plumpe Bacchus" in "Antony and Cleopatra"—meaning not pink colored eyes, but eyes "half shut, brought to a "point" "Pic," a peak or point, is the common Celtic ancestor of the various "pinks."—Spectator. *s =SE Q*dcr fofv Hearing on Claims S a MinneSoTaf __ T^,/""" O O ," a id A in it in a to it It lfe O at be a I a A S Warch 2,1906.
