This explains why oyster- | men transfer the oysters by ship loads from the bays along the Atlantic coast, where they multiply rapidly, but where, in consequence of the lack of food, they are stunted in growth, to to the estuaries of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. It is believed, however, by many of the oyster- growers that if the bivalves could be fattened in pure sea water they would be of better flavor, well as more wholesome, The difficulty has been to provide the proper food. After seven years of experiment these oyster-grow- ers have hopes that the difficulty has been The new method, which aims to supply the requirements of pure water and the necessary food,

work of the Manhattan Building. The iron resisted the fire—that is, it did not blaze, but, so far as the safety of the building is concerned, it did something ifinitely worse, It expanded under the heat, and forced out the ends of icon beams and girders from their resting places on the supporting piers. The result inevitable. Without the support which the builders gave the floors. down they came and brought with them the mass of fire-brick used as flooring. The roof was brought down by the pulling of the other floor columns, and the destruction was com plete. It demonstrated anew thal like a chain, the strength of a fire-proot building is only that of the weakest ligk. Chief Bonner said ¢

“Iam prepared ts declare, from my experience, that a building of brick and yellow pire, in case of fire, is easier to manage, and the contents have more chance of being saved than the modern fire-proof building. In the former structure the fire burns more slowly and has no chance to concen- trate its heat, asim the iron and steel] structures,”

TUE MAN UNDER THILYY-FMIVE, A Falr Young Authoress Analyzes the Immature Genus Homo.

Miss Lilian Bell, the clever Chicago authoress, prints rather a caustic view of “The Man Under Thirty-Five” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. She asserts that conversation witha man under thirty-five is inipossible, because the man under thirty-five never converses; he only talks. And your chief accom- plishment, of le ing a good listener, is entirely thrown away on him, because he does not in the least care whethei you listen or not. Neither is it of any use for you toshow that fie has surprised or shocked you. Ye approval! proval. He is utterly indiferent to vou, not beeause not please him, but because he has not

The widow, who was also an invalid,

He braced up and came. The mother looked anxiously into her boy's face and saw there the furrows that neither time nor care had made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey npon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidvey treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows:

First ~To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pilis and selj them b+ eonrt. 3

Second—To put them up to appear very neariy the same and to be offered at the 8am price.

Thiri—To hook on the word “kidney” in biming eathortie pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd's ilat uowary people may be deceiy- ed and tink they are getting Dodd’s,

IT DORS THE BUSINESS,

If you want to know what Miller’s Emuision of Norwegian Cod Liver Qil will do for a consumptive patient ask oue who has tried it. Ask anyone who has used it in Iung troubles of any nind. What they say about Miller’s Emulsion shall be its recommendation. It is the finest pre- paration of its kind in the world, and is worth its weight in gold toa consum ptive sufferer, whom it will raise from a bed of = to health and s rength of body ac

mind, giving a new lease of life. Theusands testify to the value of Miller’s imnu'sion.
