famous opera stars who are to sing at

Rings on Oyster Shells.
A popular theory about rings, on an
oyster shell being an indication of its
age is not supported by the careful In
vestigation of Miss Ann L. Massy, who
tested specimens from the oyster sta
tion at Ardfry, at the head of Galway'
bay. It has been supposed by many
that each ring, or group, on the oyster's
deep valve stood for a year's growth.
But Miss Massy says that this deduc
tion is not reliable. After a patient
scrutiny of over 600 samples of various
ages, from eighteen months to six
years, she says: "An oyster of eight
een months or two summers appears
to possess at least two rings, but may
have as many as five. One of three
summers has at least two rings and
may have six. A four-year-old oyster
may have only three rings or may pos
sess seven or eight"—London Mail.

Life of an Arctlo Sealer.
The arctic sealer has a very hard
life. Sealing does not consist only of
scrambling over ice fields In search of
prey and battling breathlessly and
fiercely when It Is found. There are
many Incidental hardships td endure.
The usual type of arctic weather ia
a dense, lung clogging fog, with cold
that Is enough to freeze a glowing
furnace. This fog, strange as it may
seem. Is oftentimes mixed with cruel
blizzards of heavy snow, made more
terrible by high and constant gales.
The passing of the snow is usually
accompanied by sleet and rain that are
more penetrating than snow. Misery,
therefore. Is not an unfamiliar visitor
to the crews of arctic sealers.—Detroit
Free Press.

A man's walk is as peculiar to him
self as his personal appearance is.
So much a part of himself Is a man's
way of walking, indeed, that it is most
difficult to disguise. Many a fugitive
from Justice who has completely alter
ed hi* ordinary appearance has been
betrayed by his walk.
The peculiar gait of many people
often Indicates their occupation. The
policeman, the soldier and the sailor
«ach has his peculiar walk which be
trays him. —Pearson's.
Just Suppose.
Yon better stop yo' growlin* w'en you
ain't got nuttin' 'tall ter growl 'bout.
Des s'pose dat you wuz rich an' had
ter pay de income tax or dat you
couldn't sleep w'en night come fer
thinkin' dat a yethquake mought swall
er de bank, wid all yo' money in it!—
Br'er Williams in Atlanta Constitution.
Poured It Out.
"My wife said she did not mind my
having a bottle of whisky on the side
board if I would permit her to pour it
out"
"Of course you consented to that?"
"Yes, and she poured it out of the
window.**
