The oyster is most interesting during babyhood, says Charles Frederick Stansbury in Outing. Its manner of making a set suggests the sublime con fidence of childhood. It prefers to ad here to odd objects, and its childish taste in this direction often encom passes its destruction. If an old boot, a waterlogged box. a brick. a lump of coal or piece of discarded and frac tured crockery lies upon the bed of the ocean where a set is in progress, the young oysters or eggs will cluster thick and fast upon it, showing a very de cided preference as against the sur rounding natural anchorage. I have even seen a pair of corsets that could never again hope to imprison the waist of lovely woman entirely covered with a set of young oysters. Thus does Na ture pay her tribute to Art. A favorite foundation for life adopt ed by sensible young oysters is upon the shells of their ancestors long since defunct, and for this reason many planters strew the bottom of their holdings with such "clutch" in the hope that the wandering ova will stop and there adopt a local -habitation. Lying thus upon the floor of the deep, the young oyster begins to grow, and in doing so invariably points his little "bill" heavenward, an attitude that he maintains throughout life if undisturbed. As he grows older his shell is often used by the flora of the sea as an anchorage, and thus he is apt to be found enveloped in the foliage of the curious oyster sponge, coraline, red and green sea lettuc and other quaint species of algtn and sea grasses. The dogwinkle, too, and his cousin, the per iwinkle, are very fond of attaching their eggs to -the shell of the oyster, each one by a delicate stem, causing it to appear like some curious sea flower. The Soldier's Last 3Iarch. Why is it that the most zolemn serv ice ever devised by man, the stately hush of the vast cathedral, the impos. Ing robes, the stained glass windows, the pealing organ, all fade Into insig nificance beside that soul stirring, sim ple act-the trumpeting out of "taps" over the body of a dead soldier? No man who has ever heard it, either on the field of battle, at the quiet army post or in the haven of these weak and shattered units of the Grand Army of the Republic, ever forgets it.

KdI Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat. A TAINTED BREATH, WHAT CAUSES IT AND HOW IT SHOULD BE TREATED. The Trouble Is /the Result of De composition Along the Respiratory Tract, and the Remedy Is Pare Liv ing, Pure Habits and Cleanliness. Any one inflicted with bad breath, Instead of using disinfectant washes or gargles, should try to discover the cause of the bad breath. It is almost ridieulous to keep using disinfectants while the cause of the fetor continues to operate. Suppose any one were to notice a bad smell in the back yard. nstead of finding out exactly what the cause of the bad smell is, he would sim plyithrow a disinfectant around, or de pditzer, in order to stop or disguise thefsmell.' Such a procedure would be sill indeed. No one but a sanitary officer would do such a thing. A'bad breath indicates some decom posiion going on somewhere In the respiratory tract. It may be a hollow tooth filled with decomposing material, or the teeth may be so jammed to gether as to inclose portions of the rood, which ferment and fill-the *>uth with noxious gases. The trouble may be in the posterior ares. One or both nostrils may be topped u'. This leaves an unventi ated space just back of the nostril, in the upper portion of the throat. The want of ventilation allows the mucus to accumulate and decompose, which forms a very fetid gas. Or, again, the trouble may be caused by enlarged tonsils. These sometimes assume a globular form, with deep crevices and seanis which retain mu cus. Again, mucus collects behind and above an enlarged tonsil, where it is sure to decompose and cause bad breath. Any portion of the respiratory tract from the throat to the lungs may be the seat of the difficulty. The mucous surface is liable to catarrh, and the catarrh abrades the mucous mem branes hereand there, forming super ficial ulcers, which furnish a continu ts effluvia to the breath. Like little volcanoes; they pour out their erup tions of noxious gases day and night to contaminate the breath. The stomach has often been accused o being the cause of bad breath, but the fact is the stomach rarely is the cause of a bad breath. The breath does not enter the stomach. Respira tion has little or nothing to do with the stomach. Bret.th is simply the act of drawing the air into the lungs and expelling it again. The fetor of bad breath sometimes originates in the lungs and is no doubt the result of a deranged condition of the whole system. The blood, being surcharged with foul ggses and decom posing material, gives off these gases at each respiration. This is why the breath of a person who drinks liquor will become tainted with the smell of the liquor. At first the breath undoubt edly smells of the liquor simply be pause in passingfthrough the mouth and throat some of it adheres to the mucous surfaces. If any one were to rinse out the mouth with liquor, the breath would smell for a short time, but only for a short time. With the dram drinker the case is different. The liquor having passed into his stomach, it is absorbed'into the blood. Through the blood It reaches the lungs, and with each respiration from the lungs a portion of the fumes from the liquor are given off with the breath. This 11 ustrates how a bad condition of the blood can taint the breath. Undoubtedly onions and many other aromatic substances find their way out of the system through the breath. In this way a bad stomach may taint the breath. This is why a bad stomach means bad breath. Bad digestion pro duces a bad quality of blood. The blood, circulating through the lungs, gives off bad odors, which find their way into the breath. In this round about way , the stomach may cause bad breath, but as a rule the cause of bad breath can be found closer at band - either in the teeth, posterior nares, tonsils, throat or bronchial tubes. Instead of using mouth washes or perfumes of any sort to cure a bad breath, a person ought to have the cause of the bad breath discovered. Unfortunately it would be of little or no use to such a person to call on the average doctor, as he knows nothing or cares no':hing about such things. He is simply engaged in prescribing drugs and spends very little time in ferreting oua: causes or removing ob noxious ailments by harmless and ra tional methods. In these matters every person must use his own common sense and try to be his own doctor. No one should be content to allow a bad breath to continue. It is very un ealthy and is very obnoxious to other people. Every 'man -and woman is en titled to a sweet breath, and with a little care and judgment this can be had. But so long as ay one continues to take drugs or use narcotics to any extent he cannot hope to have a per fectly sweet breath. A pure breath comes from pure living, pure habits and the continuous practice of absolute cleanliness. The toothbrush and cold water should be used thoroughly once a day. Gargling the throat should im mediatery follow. The nostrils should be kept clear; deep- breathing prac ticed. These things alone will do very much toward insuring the possession of a sweet breath.-Medical Talk. strange Uses For !urrors. The celebrated Beau Brummel dur ing the first years of his exile, while yet his fame as a dandy was pre-emi nent, had the ceiling of his bedroom covered with mirrors so that even while at rest he could study elegance and as sume a graceful pose. For such a pur pose a glass ceiling is, however, not u~nique, and the notorious Duchess of Cleveland had such another construct ed to gratify her vanity. For a far different reason a certain Yorkshire gentleman of the last cen tury had his ceiling paneled with mir rors. Ardently devoted to the sport ot cockfighting, he continued to the last to enjoy his favorite pastime and even when on his deathbed his room was the scene of many an excIting fight, which, lying on his back, he saw reflected in the glass overhead. A Tender Husband. In connection with a slight affec tion of Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant's eyes a very pretty story is told indicative of General Grant's tender devotion to her. When he was president, she became somewhat sensitive about her eyes she suffered from strabismus-and con sulted a specialist to see what could be done for her. The specialist told hcr he thought he could Improve her eyes, but the operation would be painful. She consulted her husband to learn whether lie would advise the operation. "on't have it done, dear," said the general, pressing her cheeks with his two hands. "Let those dear eyes stay jupst.as they are. If they were changed, tinh not meognize my sweetheart" END OF THE HACKNEY. I How He I8 Worn Out In tie Serviee of Society. The prancing, high stepping hack neys that draw the shiny carriages of the rich are often driven the pace that kills. In "Ihorses Nine" Sewell Ford tel!s the story of such a horse and his mate and how they were worn out. The author says: Seeing them come down the street, heads tossing, pole chains jingling, the crest and mono gram of the house of Jerry glistening on quarter cloth and rosette, their pol ished hoofs seeming barely to touch the asphalt, you might have thought their lot one to be envied. But Bonfire knew better. Ile curved his neck and threw his hoofs high, whether his muscles ached or no; in winter he stamped to keep warm, in summer to dislodge the flies; he did his work faithfully, early or late, in cold and in heat, and all this because he was a son of Sir Bardolph and f6r the reason that it was his na ture to. Had it been put upon him he would have worked in harness until he dropped. prancing his best to the last. No supreme test, however, was ever brought to the endurance and willing ness of Bonfire. They just kept him on the pole, nerves tense, muscles strained, until he began to lose form. His action no longer had that grace and abandon which so pleased Mrs. Jerry when she first saw him. Long standing in the cold numbs the mus cles. It robs the legs of their spring. Sudden starts, such as are made when you are called from line after an hour's waiting, finish the business. Try as he might Donfire could not step so high, could not carry a perfect crest. His neck had lost its roundness, in his rump a crease had appeared. At last the inevitable happened. Two young hackneys, plump of neck, round of quarter, springy of knee and hock, were brought to the stable. Bonfire and his mate were led out of their old stalls to return no more. They had been worn out in the service and cast aside like a pair of old gloves. POSTAL ODDITIES. With one exception there has been a deficit In postal revenues every year since IS33. Thousands of letters are mailed ev ery day without the vestige of an ad dress to indicate for whom they are in tended. Mail matter of any kind addressed n-a vague and indefinite way, such as to "the most prominent physician," etc., is not deliverable. Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster general, boasted that under his admin istration all the cities of the country had been provided with a weekly mail. One may mail a letter destined for foreign parts without prepayment of postage. It will go forward to destina tion, and the recipient will be required to pay double rates for the privilege of reading it if lie values it sufficiently. At the Chicago post office a record Is kept of the different ways of spelling the name of that city on mail address es. At last accounts 2S0 varieties had been tabulated. - Among the less intri cate of these are Zizazo, .Tagjiago, Hipa ho, Jajijo and Chachicho. Work Done While Asleep. Cabanis tells us that Franklin on several occasions mentioned to him that he had been assisted by dreams In the conduct of allairs in which he was engaged. Condillac states that while writing his "Course of Studies" he was fre quently obliged to leave a chapter in complete and retire to bed, and on awaking he found it, on more than one occasion, finished in his head. The most remarkable testimony of this kind is perhaps that of Sir Thomas Browne, who declared that, If it were possible,,he would prefer to carry on his studing In his dreams, so much more efficient 'dere his "faculties of mind when his body was asleep. -Hysteria In Dogs. Nerves are the disease of the present day among human beings, hut I did not know till recently that hysteria Is also a malady of dogs. A friend of mine owned a dog which suddenly one day was seized with an attack of nerves. Since then it has been very Ill, wander ing incessantly round and round the room, refusing food, but still recognis ing its owner. Another little dog sut fered from hysteria in consequence of fright from railway traveling,- and It really seems as though civilization, in rendering dogs more delicate and more susceptible, had done them a distinct physical injury. --London Graphic. ________ Work Planned Out.

"How do you ascertain the speed of a ship?" is a question frequently ad dressed to naval men, and an explana tion will therefore probably be of in terest to many readers. There are sev eral methods, says Army and Navy 11 lustrated, the commonest rd most an cient being by the use of the log. This instrument consists of three parts, the logship, the line and the marks. The logship is a piece of wood about half an inch thick and shaped like a quad rant, with a piece of lead let In round the circular edge to make it float per pendicularly in thi water. It is hung by lines at each angle, the three lines being joined together about two feet from the logship. Two of the lines are securely fixed to the ship, and the other has a bone peg at the end, which, being pushed into a hole in the ship, temporarily fastens it there. From the point of juncture of the tree lines a sufficient length Is meas ured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the ship's wash. This is called the "stray line" and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inches and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 3 inches Is measured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length and marked with three knots. Half way between each batch of knots one single knot is made. The log line is then ready for use. The space between the knots is found from the simple little rule of three sum-as 3,COO seconds (number of sec onds In an hour) Is to twenty-eight sec onds (length of sandglass), so are 6,080 feet (number of feet in a nautical mile) to the length of line required. which works out to 47 feet 3 Inches. To use the log four persons are re quired-two men to hold the reel on which the line is wound, the quarter master to hold the glass and the mid shipman of the watch to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly In the logship and then gathers three or four coils of line In his hand, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, "Clear glass, quartermaster?" "Clear glass, sir," comes the reply, and overboard go the logship and line, the reel rap idly revolving. Presently the middy feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the or der, "Turn.' The quartermaster turns the glass and watches the sand, while one "reeler" holds well over his head, so as to give the line fair play. When the sand has run out, "Stop!" cries the quartermaster. The midshipman grasps the line, assisted by the other "reeler," and looks for the nearest knot, finding a single one close to his hand. Then the line is -hauled in, and four knots appear, which signify that the ship is going four and one-half knots through the water. The jerk of the line drags the peg from the logship, which now floats on its flat side and Is easily hauled in. When a ship is going over four knots, a fourteen second glass is used, the speed being double that, shown by the knots on the line.-Home, ,ournal and News.

Bismarck's successor In the un safe chair of the imperial chancellor. General Count Caprivi, had resigned early in the evening after a stormy meeting with the kaiser. At 10 o'clock that night Caprivi accorded me an in terview. He did not request that his name be withheld. In my ignorance I quoted him in my cablegram that night. His talk to me had been brief, but to the point He had told me of the causes that had led to his loss of favor with the kaiser and to his retire ment But I had unwittingly violated one of the first principles in the code of German Journalistic ethics. And I reaped a whirlwind of abuse for it "That news is bogus-must be bogus, you know," said the German newspa pers and their correspondents, "for, don't you see, he has quoted CaprivL" For years the reputation thus earned made my work doubly hard.

I never quite got over this during my long stay in Berlin.-Wolf von Schier brand in World's Work. A Hearty Eater. There Is a story in the French army of a captain who- made a wager one day that a drummer of his company could eat a whole calf. The drummer, proud of his distinction, promised to do honor to the captain's compliment Ac cordingly, a calf was prepared in.yar ous appetizing ways and was being promptly disposed of by the drummer. When he had finally consumed about three-quarters of the repast, he paused for another draft of wine and, placing his knife and fork on his plate, said to his superior officer, "You had better have the calf brought on, had you not, for all these little kickshaws will end in taking up room."

' They are the weapons that have been used for generations to fight old Rheumatism, and are about as effective in the battle with this giant disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare. Rheumatism is caused by an acid, sour condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing else appiied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They Were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood. Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every change of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream of rich, strong blood to the affected parts, which dissolves and washes out all foreign materials, and the sufferer obtains happy relief from the torturing pains.
