Last Stand of the Simple Life.
The south for years was. rich bunt
ing ground for the lover of the pictur
esque, but changes both numerous and
rapid have occurred there in recent
years. The old negro types of the
cotton fields are no more The loe
cabins, the pine groves, even the state
ly plantation mansions, recalling the
flowery days "befo" de wah," are pass
ing away. Fortunately for those who
enjoy seeing life as it is lived where
there is a real attachment to the soil,
the FTencb section of Caradn is left
ua. Here along the lower Si.. Law
rence river one may find conditions
exactly as they were a century ago.
Here the "one-boss shay," the pride
of colonial days, la making its last
stand. In the Balds women may be
seen cutting grain with sickles then

From time immemorial the oyBter
has been a favorite item in the menu
of the human race. The famous
"kitchen middens" of primitive times
prove by their vast heaps of shells
that the oyster was a prehistoric ar
ticle of diet. And all through the his
toric ages this prince of bivalves has
appealed to the appetite and taste Of
mankind. The Romans when they
were masters of the world were them
selves mastered by the oyster, their
indulgence in it being one of the
amusing chapters in gastronomic his
tory. And in the modern dietetic
world the oyster holds a lofty place.
It has a position all its own; it can
not be imitated nor displaced; it can
be eaten raw, or it can be cooked in
many ways, and the lovers of good
eating never seem to tire of it—Les
