Oysters grow only during the sum mer and especially during the long warm Bummers at thnt, and are scarce ly big enough for tho mouth before the third year. It Is easy after look ing over a bunch of shells to tell how old an oyster is. A summer hump and the winter Rink come across the shell very year, but after tho seventh or tenth year full growth comes; then, by looking at the sinks between the humps It Is hard to tell anything more about Miss Oyster's age. Oysters live to be 20 years old. To the Childish Mind. Dorothy I'ilman of E. Kighty-foiirth street, Is a very literal young person.

Tho place cards wero cut out white roses tied with a bow of green and the brldc Hect's chair was tied with a huge fluffy bow of green and white tullo. White and green horseshoe shaiied candy boxes held the green and white bon bons and a green and white Jack Horner pie was passed with dessert, from which tbo guests drew pretty ,jr'eri and white snapping crackers. Each parcel had the donor's card on which was written an appropriate sen timent. The spoons were all the same pattern and as there were six It made a very nlc set. The men of the wed ding party, knowing about this gave a hnlf dozen forks and the same num ber of tablespoons of the same pattern. Dainty Centerpiece. Last year a hostess living in a de lightful country place hod this unique centerpiece at a luncheon which she gavo for some of her city friends. She had an enormous straw hat tied as a busket filled with roses. It was held by a big bow of gau.e ribbon. At each placo small baskets filled with unhullcd strawberries rested on a dolly of grape leaves. To the handle was a bow of pink gauze ribbon, with tho name card pinned to It with n dainty Imitation coral stick pin; Just one pink rose rested on the handle. It was all very simple, but the rustic effect was lovely. A City Supper.

I X almost every home there comes an occasion when refreshments must be provided for many guests; and the nilstrcBB of the household, with one or at most two to help, is appalled at the thought of catering to so unusual a number. She should re member that to attempt too much Is far worse than to err on the side of great simplicity. No up-to-date housekeeper spreads upon her table a cloth laundered with many folds; she prefers to have It folded but once lengthwise and then rolled over a board made Just the width of the folded linen. No matter how heavy or luBtrouB tho cloth, It should be lajd over a padding or un dercloth on the table and should be large enough to reach nearly to the floor on all sides. The table Illustrated Is set for a home reception or tea and tho single basket of roses Is more artistic than tho effect of flowers scattered over the table or trailing vines In festoons at tho sides of the cloth, for these be come disarranged easily and are not effective In average-sized rooms. A low arrnngement of flowers is appro priate at dinner or luncheon, as It does not awkwardly obstruct the view across from guest to guest, but a taller effect Is In good taste for a re ception table. A laco centerpiece un der the roses, even If It be laid over color. Is better than linen embroidered with flow.ers, as tho natural and em broidered flowers both lose something pf their best effect when brought to gether in this way.

There should be plies of plates aqd If salads are served small fringed or hemstitched napkins. Small and large spoons and forks should be ar ranged In orderly diagonal rows upon the cloth and never bunched together. Place here and. there small cut-glass or silver dishes for bonbons.

In his native town Jimmy had al ways been most populur with young and old, but when he was sent away to boarding school, he was for a time too homesick to muke friends. His first letter was little more than a wall. "I'm way behind the other boys In everything," ho wrote, dolefully. " 'Tlsti't only studies, hut It's gymna sium and banjos and everything. I don't believe they'll ever bayo much use for me." Put the second letter, written after a week In the new school, was quite different in tone. "I'm all right,", he write to his mother. "The boys say they'll teach me all tney. know, for they're proud to have m here. I can stretch my mouth half an Inch wider than any other boy In school, and my foet are the longest by a full Inch.

Apropos of a beautiful .voting wife, worth $10,000,000 who had just di vorced her penniless husband in or der to marry aguin, Henry E. Hixey, the comedian,, said at a dinner in New York: "Tbo young man who marries for money tins none too easy n time of It.

When we speuk facetiously of some one for whom we have 110 reverence bb having "kicked the bucket," we employ a phrase that would seem to be a piece of latter-day slang, but as mutter of fact, It dates back to old England, when, about the year 1725, one Dolsover hung himself to a beam while standing on the bottom of a bucket, and then kicked the bucket away.

Can't Get Away From It Is It possible to nourish, strengthen and Re build the Drain by Food? Every ninn who thinks uses up part of the bruin ouch day. Why don't It all disappear mid leave an empty skull In say a month of brain work? Decnttse the man rebuilds each day. If he builds a little less than he destroys, brain fag and nervous prostration result sure. If he builds back a little more each day, the brain grows stronger and more capable. That also Is sure. Where does man get the material to rebuild ills brain? Is It from air, sky or the Ice of tho Arctic sea? When you come to think about It, the rebuilding material must be in the food and drink. Thnt also Is sure. Are the brain rebuilding materials found in nil food? In a good variety but not In suitable proportion In all. To illustrate: we know bones are made large ly of lime ond inngnesln taken from food; therefore to make healthy bone structure we must have food containing these things. We would hnrdly feed only sugar and fat to make healthy bone structure in a growing child. Likewise if we would feed In a skillful man ner to Insure- getting what the brain requires for strength and rebuilding, we must first know whnt the brain is composed of and then select some article or articles (there are more than one) that contain these elements. Analysis of brain by an unquestionable authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos phate of Potash) 2.91 per cent of the total, 6.33 of all mineral Salts. This is over one-half. Beaunls, another authority, shows "Phos phoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per cent irom a total of 101.07. Considerable more than one-half of Phos phate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium and Phosphorus (which Join nnd make Phos phate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of all tho mineral salts in tho food. Dr. Geo. W. Cnrcy. nn authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray mutter of the brain is controlled entirely by the Inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phos phate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumen und by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of courso, there Is a trace of other salts and other organic matter In nerve fluid, but Itasslum Phosphnte Is the chief factor nnd has the power within Itself to ntlrnct, by Kb own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on ho says: "The beginning and end of tho matter Is to supply the lacking principle, and In molecular form, exactly as nature fur nishes it In vegetables, fruits and grnln. To supply deficiencies this Is tho only law of cure." The natural conclusion Is thnt if rhosphnto of Potash Is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fug because lis daily loss Is not supplied. On the contrary, If you eat food known to bo rich In this clement, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building. Mind does not work well on a brain that la broken down by lack of nourishment. A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces sary to good digestion.
