Mr W I NexSen is home from
Asheville, N C, for a fev weeks,
where he has been under treatment
for pulmonary trouble. It
is gratifying to his many friends
to note that he looks better every
trip he makes home and no
r\no rn look at him would sus
pect him of being a valetudinarian.
A number of young folks from
town attended a ball given by
the young men of Georgetown

Tuesday evening. The following
were in the party: Miss
Selma Thorn, Dr C D Jacobs, Dr

THE PATIENT OYSTER.
0 Its Beard the Tool With Which It
(j Builds Its Shell Home.
o There seems to be very little
y chance for poetry to linger around
e the luscious bivalve, yet Keats vive
idly conjures up the pale silence of
- the ocean depths with his reference
to the "poor, patient oyster where
it sleeps." Patient indeed and im/vioon
Kcd vot nrtt
I* IliUiaUJC ill Iko WVIIU UV\4^ J VV MV
t always sleeping.
i The body of an oyster is a poor,
weak thing, apparently incapable of
e doing anything at all. Yet what a
- marvelous house an oyster builds
around his delicate frame!
For some unknown reason he always
fixes himself on his round
shell, never by his flat shell, and be
ing once fixed he begins to grow.
But he only grows in summer. 1
Inspect an oyster shell closely,
and it will be seen that it is markr
ed with distinct lines. As the rings
we observe in the section of the
trunk of a tree denote years of
gTowth, so do the markings on an
oyster tell us how many years he
e has passed in his "bed" at the bottom
of the sea. The way in which
* an oyster grows his shell is a prats'
fy si"ght.
The beard of an oyster is not
d only -his breathing organ?i. e., his
* lungs?but also his feeding organ,
d by which he conveys the food to his
h complicated mouth with its four
n lips.
g When the warm, calm days of
y June come the oyster opens his shell
n and bv means of his beard begins
building an additional story to his
house. This he does by depositing
l; very, very fine particles of carbonate
of lime till at last they form a substance
as thin as silver paper and
exceedingly fragile. Then he adds
more and more until at last the new
= shell is as hard as the old shell.
When oysters are growing their
j. shells they must be handled very
carefully, as the new growth of shell
' will cut like broken glass, and a
7 wound on the finger from an oysv
ter shell is often very dangerous.?

In Italy.
Why does the signorina marry?
In seeking the answer to this question,
says the Italian sociologist,
Ferriani, I chose very young women
for my experiments, directing my
questions to ninety-five between the
ages of fifteen and seventeen years,
scattered all over Italy, witn tne 101-;
lowing results: Five answered that
they married in order to go out
walking alone, ten in order to have a
good time, in contrast with the austerity
of their life up to that time;
live in order to travel, seven in order
to have homes of their own and
sixty-one for no reasons at all in
particular. Three really didn't
want to marry anyhow, while only
four dwelt upon the joys of home
and housekeeping. Only four had
been educated properly in the school
of the household. To the majority
marriage 6eems to mean only freedom
from the convent-like seclusion
of the young girl, the getting out
into the crest world and seeing

something of life.

"I tell you," said the inspector,
leaning back in his chair, "detective
work is not the snap it's cracked
up to be."
"Were you ever badly taken in?"
"Well, rather. The worst I was
ever fooled was by a pretty, baby
eyed, innocent looking young angel.
I could have sworn she was an angel."
"And wasn't she ?"
"Well, I guess not! She had a1
temper like a western cyclone, and
once when I attempted to call her
down I thought an earthquake had
struck me."
"How did you happen to discover
her real character?"
"Simply enough?I married her."

Lumbar.
"Lumber," according to the London
Chronicle, acquired a new dignity
"when it crossed the ocean and
shook off all association with the
lumber room. But the word's earlier
history is still more curious if
the conjecture is right that make3
'lumber room' older than lumber/
its contents, end explains the former
as 'Lombard room/ the room in
which the Lombard banker and
broker stored his miscellaneous
pledges. Undoubtedly in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries
a 'lumber house' was a pawnshop,
'in the lumber' meant in pawn, and
a man in jail was metaphorically
'lumbered,' or 'in Lombard street.'"
