OYSTERS LIVE AND DEADT
And the Big Different)* It Makes Whan
They A re Eaten Raw.
Speaking about keeping hotels, Sime
on Ford, who won fame and fortune
In that profession, had thi« to say
about tbe succulent oyster:
“People have come and sworn to
me that we bad the finest oysters in
the world. Now, that was all tommy
rot We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought the best we could. But there is
this about the oyster: When he la good
he is very, very good; when he is bad
he is very, very bad.
“There is a whole lot of difference
between a dead oyster and a live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife into an oyster he can tell in a
second If tbe oyster Is really alive.
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster Is in prime condi
tion or only fair. If tbe oyster was
not Just right our men would throw It
away, and they used to throw away
about one oyster In every four that we
bought
“A dead oyster isn’t fit to eat raw.
But the live oyster that is opened
right In front of you and stays on the
plate Jnst long enough to squeeze a
drop of lemon on, he goes down your
throat a Juicy and a palpitating treat
That's only possible when you stand
op to an oyster bar.
“Why, In some of our gilded palaces |
they begin to open oysters after break
fast and yon get them for dinner. Welt
you get them, that’s all, and they're
dead! A corpse Is a corpse, even If It
is kept on ice.”—Henry M. Hall In New
York World.
METHOD OF TEACHING.
Wherein Our Educatore Often Put the
Cart Before the Horae.
This simple principle (spirit before
discipline) we sometimes seem to lose
sight of in our education, consistently
putting tbe cart before tbe horse.
In tbe days of the renaissance,
when people bad caught a vision of a
new world, they studied Greek with
avidity because they believed It was a
path into that world. We reverse the
process. We set our students to grind
ing Greek verbs In order that in an in
definite future they may come in con
tact with the Hellenic spirit, when
what they wanted was a touch of the
Hellenic spirit to transform the Greek
grammar into a book of magic.
We set them to cutting up earth
worms when what they wanted first
was to have their thoughts turned to
ward the mystery of physical life. We
put them to studying Italian, trusting
that In due time a knowledge of that
language may prove an incentive to
read Dante, never perceiving that a
craving for Dante might be made the
strongest Incentive for studying Italian.
We red ink and blue pencil their com
positions, believing, with a touching
faith, that there is some intrinsic beau
ty in correct spelling and perfect punc
tuation that will appeal to the under
graduate mind, and all the while what
they needed was a sense, however dim,
of the wonder of literary creation.—
Harold 0. Goddard In Century.
Hard to Miss.
"I oversaw and overheard this de

Early Italian 8urgery.
Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) tells of
early Italian surgery. He had got a bit
of chipped steel In his eye, “so far into
the pupil that It was Impossible to get
It out, so that I was In very great dan
ger of losing that eye. But the surgeon
came to the rescue with the pigeons
The surgeon, making me lie npon my
back, with a little knife opened a vein
In each of their wings, so that the
blood ran Into my eye, and 1 was there
by greatly relieved. In the space of
two days the bit of steel Issued from
my eye. and 1 found that 1 had re
ceived considerable ease and In a great
measure recovered my sight."
Where Poets Fail.
"Trouble ’bout these here poets,”
said the Georgia farmer, “none of ’em
make good field hands. They won’t

fear the anlmal’B got a soul. But It’s
