HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THUKSDAY, JUNE .81, 1008
THE AGE OF AN'bYSTER.
tarn Cm Ten It by tha Llnea oa tha
HIbk of tha Shell.
In some ways an oyster la smarter
than the inau who eats hlui, but In out
respect the cousumer has his victim
beaten lu the matter of wisdom. Tb4
consumer hus learned the art of "mak
ing up" to conceal his age; the oyster
has not Any one who wishes to do
so can find out Just how old au oyster
Is. The Hues In Uie groove of th
hinge of the shell tell the whole sto
ry. These lines are a true Index to
the number of layers composing the
Rhell, being, lu f u t, nothing else than
their attenuated tails. One of thes
layers grows eai-U year, and, no matte!
how hard the sensitive oyster may try
to keep It from showing, it is bound to
overlap Its predecessor and leave a
ridge which, no doubt, is Just as an
noying to the oyster tribe as an an
nual wrinkle would be to the human
race.
Up to the time of au oyster's matu
rity these layers are ui ranged with reg
ularity, but after that they fairly pill
over each other, Just as If the llttl
bivalve's birthplace had crowded upon
each other so rapidly thut he didn't
have time to spread out one new plats
before another was right at his heels.
An oyster comes of age when be li
four years old. Coming of age In th
oyster kingdom means that he la old
enough to take care of a family and
go to market. Going to market Is a
disastrous undertaking and Is gener
ally the last of him, for a four-year-old
oyster Is particularly palatable, and
people do not hesitate to pay a pretty
good price for a pint or a quart of
him. By this It must not be Inferred
that after an oyster has passed th
four layer period and hus five, ten 01
even a dozen wrinkles 'on his shell
he Is a back number and fit for
nothing but to keep on accumulating
wrinkles until he dies of old age. In
deed, there are records of oysters be
ing eaten Just after celebrating thell
thirtieth birthday, and in most cases
they formed quite a delicious meal
This Is an unusual age for an oystei
to attain, because few of them are giv
en an opportunity to live so long. II
left to enjoy life In his own quiet way
It Is quite probable that the oystet
would live to become an octogenarian
or even a centenarian. New Tork
rress.
BITS FROM THE WRITERS.
Progress Isn't a passing fancy; it's
the life principle. Elizabeth Robins.
When we work because we lov
work, then the work Is well done.
Marie Corelli.
There can be no Journey more pleas
ant than that which carries us a stage
upon the road to our ambitions. Max
Pctubertou.
You mustn't mind what other peo
ple do. If their souls were your soul
It would bo different. You stand and
fall by your own work. Kudyard Kip
ling. It Is a curious contradiction that
happiness Is the one thing people real
ly want and that It is the one thing
nearly everybody misses. Gertrude
Atherton.
The kind of honesty that won't actu
ally steal 's a kind of fool honesty
that's common enough, but the kind
that keeps a feller's mouth shut when
ho hadn't ought to talk 's about the
scurcest thing goin'. E. N. Westcott.
Parental Parsimony.
Everything Is by comparison. Said a
woman recently of a young married
couple whose families are counted "Im
mensely rich:" "They really cannot
live on their Income; It is shocking to
pinch as they must. Why, you know,
his father only gives him $10,000 a
year, lie has a salary of $5,000, and
she has an allowance from her family
of $10,000-only $25,000, with a $100,
000 house to keep up. It's outrageous,
with all the money there Is In those
two families!" Twenty-five thousand
dollars income and a completely fur
nished house and yet counted paupers
by the world in which they move! Bet
ter change the orbit and come Into one
of common sense. Boston Herald.
A Railway Mtxap.
Among those who have been com
plaining of the slow railways In Italy
Is a commercial traveler, who recently
determined that the Milan express
should end his life. Two minutes be
fore the train was due at a certain sta
tion he laid himself stoically across the
rails. After vainly awaiting the train's
approach for fifty minutes tha gentle
man was compelled to relinquish the
project. He threatened to sue the di
rectorate for Inconvenience caused him,
in which case, It Is said, the railway
authorities will put In a counterclaim
for services rendered.
One Comfort Left.
The retired merchant was looking
over his old ledgers.
"What satisfaction does that afford
you?" asked the caller.
"A heap," he answered. "When
somebody calls me an old skinflint and
a miser it does me good to look at the
unpaid accounts of my forty years In
business and reflect that I've given
away in my time, without counting In
terest, ?27,491.3G."-Chicago Tribune.
Not Unlucky.
Arry-I've brought yer a ring, 'Ar
riet. Ain't it a beauty? 'Arriet-Why,
It's a opal, 'Any, and opals is awiui
onlucky, so they ses. 'Arry-You
needn't worry yerself over that, cos It
ain't real un.-London Express.
Toetle.
Diderot, the French poet, once Bald,
"He who would write of women should
' dip his pen In rainbow dye and pow
der his lines with gold dust from bur
erflies' wings
"Conaeelor Therefora."
Sergeant Kelly, a celebrity f the
Irish bar, had a remakable habit of
drawing conclusions directly at vari
ance with his premises and was con
sequently nicknamed "Counselor There
fore" In court on one occasion he
thus addressed the Jury: 'The case la
so clear, gentlemen, that you cannot
possibly misunderstand It, and I should
nay your understandings a very poor
compliment if I dwelt upon It for an
other minute. Therefore I shall at
once proceed to explain it to yoo a
inlnatelaaipossOle."

good many early apples.
Pennsylvania Vte have only receiv
ed limited information from this sec

Virginia The orop throughout Vir

will be more .than enough to supply
the local demand.

enthusiastic over the outlook and in
some sections they oltim there will be
three times the amuout of apples
shipped last year. J The growers
throughout the state taketbe very best

the entire orop will go into consump

Woman's Trial.
The bitter trail In a woman's life la to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
straggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment In the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest famllydoes not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and frultfulness to many
a barren woman, to the great joy of the
household. In other, but rare rases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment St the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., over which
Dr. Pierce of the " Favorite Prescription "
fame presides. In all cases where chil
dren are desired and are absent, au effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment
In all the various weaknesses, displace
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Inscription Is the most
efficient remedy thatcan possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more In fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi
ents of which the " Favorite Prescription "
Is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Materia Medico of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain Englith
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine mav know exactly what
she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes his pa
tients Into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Favorite Prescription'" Is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellots are tha
best and safest laxative for women.
