B A a Insfiitfs, JI J TROPICAL OYSTEES. aULF COAST BIVALVES THAT ASS EATEN IS SUHKEB. The Point Isabel Product Is in Season from the First of Hay Until the First Say of Sep tember. The fact is not generally known, even in Texas, that the tropical oyster, which is entirely different in appear ance and habits from the oysters lound in the markets of this country, is suc cessfully raised along the extreme southern gulf coast of this state, says an Austin (Tex.) report. F. W. Sea bury, speaker of the Texas house ol representatives, who has made a study of oysters for several j ears, says in re gard to this tropical breed of oysters: "The oyster which is grown in the vicinity of Point Isabel and along the gulf coast as far as a short distance be low Corpus Christi is a tropical bivalve and of wholly different species from the oysters along other portions of the Texas coast and Atlantic seaboard. The Point Isabel oyster is eaten during the summer season, commencing about the 1st of May, the season lasting till about the 1st of September. This tropical oy ster begins to spawn in September, which is Just at the time the oysters north of here become fit for eating. The Point Isabel oyster spawns in fall and winter, and the northern oyster, even those at Corpus Christi and Port Lavaca, spawn in summer. The Point Isabel oy ster can be eaten in any of the months not containing the letter r The re verse is true of the other oysters. "The fact that the Point Isabel oyster has a season entirely different from that of other oysters should make it in demand, and I look for a great industry to be built up in cultivating and ship ping these bivalves. The Laguna Madre, where the Point Isabel oyster is grown, affords a splendid place for oyster beds. The lagoon is four or five miles wide, aii the water is highly impregnated with salt, which insures the growth of gcod oysters. "With direct railroad connec tion with the outside world there is no reason why an immense oyster ship ping business should not be built up at Point Isabel. "Of course the people would have tc be educated into eating oysters during the hot months of summer, but I believe that could be easily done. I know of m own knowledge that these oysters form a most palatable dish on the hottest days of summer. I have eate- them many times. In Brownsville these oysters are the principal food for many people all summer long. There is a fine opportun ity awaiting some enterprising person to plant oyster beds in the Laguna Madre, In the Point Isabel region, it will bring a big fortune to whoever un dertakes it. These tropical oysters are far better than the other Texas oysters They are smaller than the Corpus Chris ti, Port Lavaca or Galveston oysters and more resemble the famous Blue Points. Oyster roasts have been a popu lar form of enetrtainment for a long time during the summer months at Point Isabel." The fish and oyster laws contain a provision exempting oysters from a cer tain point below Corpus Christi from tl operation of that provision which pi'-hibits their shipment and sale dur ing the months which do not contain th letter "r." This eyemotion war, placed on the bill throuch the effort of Mr. Seabnry. There is. therefore, nothing In the wav of the Point Isabel oysters being shipped during the summer months if a market can be made for them. KNEW HOW TO WORK "POP' Indulgent Pater Fixed the Clock to Help Maggie Deceive Par ticular Ma. "Have fathers changed, do you think?" inquired the old maid stenog rapher just after lunch, relates the Chicago Inter Ocean. "Why?" asked the smart Aleck bookkeeper. "Does everybody won; "Oh." replied the O. M. S.. "it isn't anything like that, but I eat at on.; of those girls' lunch clubs where jou help yourself, you know. To-day I was standing in the middle of the floor with my tomato soup and caramel ice cream, wondering where to sit, whea I saw two such sweet, innocent, young looking things that I couldn't resis sitting down at the same table with them. I just wanted to hear them talk and to imagine myself young again.' "It was hard work, wasn't it?" in quired the smart Aleck bookkeeper. "Well," went on the 0. M. S.. tak ing no notice, "this is the conversa tion I heard: " Did you co to the dance last night, Maggie?' " "Yes. and such a time. I asked ma if I could go. and she said I could if I got in by 12 o'clock, but if I didn't this would be the very last dance I should go to. I knew I couldn't get home by midnight, or anywhere near it, but I didn't tell ma that. 0 I went over and got Lizzie and we went. We had the swellest time! And I never got home until four o'clock in tbe morning. I too my shoes off cutside the door and went in the back way. But they had changed the furniture around, I guess, for I fell over a chair, the clock struck four, and out come pa. I said: "Sh. don't tell ma." and pa said: "You just leave it to me." So what did pa do but turn the clock back three hours, and then it struck one. "What's that noise," ma hollered. "Oh. you're dreaming'," pa says. "What time is it?" says ma. "One o'clock," pa says. "Is Maggie in?" ma says. "Sure, she's in." says pa. So I went to bed and pa got up again and fixed the clock right and ma never knew anything about it. I tell you, pa's a peach. He always stands by me like that.' " "Say, she knows how to work father all right, all right, don't she?" said the bookkeeper, admiringly. Pitiful Tramp I'd like ter do something to pay for all this, but I'm a cripple, mum. Housekeeper You don't look it. What's the matter? "Writer's cramp, mum.

If people knew the real value of paint a house in need of paint weuli be 'scarcer than hen's teeth." There was some excuse for our forefathers. Many ot them lived in asuses hardly worth preserving; they knew nothing about paint, ex cept that it was pretty; and to get a house painted was a serious and cost ly jeb. Tbe difference between their ease and urs is that when they want ed paint it had to be made for them; whereas when we need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy it, in any color or quality ready foi use. We know, er ought to know by this tiaie, that to let a hou3o stand uapainted Is most costly, while a good coat of paint, applied in season, is the best of investments. If we pat off the brief visit of the painter we shall in due time have the carpenter comini, to pay us a long visit at our expense, Lumber is constantly getting scarcer, dearer and poorer, while prepared paints are getting plentler, better and less expensive. It is a short-sighted plan to let the valuable lumber of out houses ge to pieces for the want of paint For the man that neels paint ther are two forms from which to choose; one is the old form, still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not yet caught np with the times lead and oil; the other is the ready for-use paint found in every up-to-date store. The first must be mixed with eil, driers, turpentine and colors be fore It Is ready for use; the other need only be stirred up in the can and it is ready to go on. To buy lead and ail, colors, etc., and mix them into a paint by hand is, in this twentieth century, about the same as refusing to ride in a trolley car because one's grandfather had to walk or ride on horseback when he wanted to go anywhere. Prepared paints have keen en the market less than fifty years, but they have proved on the whole so Inexpensive, 60 convenient and so good that tbe consumption to day Is something over sixty millios gallons a year and still growing. Un less they had been in the main satis factory, it stands to reason there would hare been no such steady growth In their use. Mixed paints are necessarily cheap er than paint of the hand-mixed kind, because they are made la a large way by machinery from materials bought la large quantities by the manufac turer. They are necessarily bettet than paints mixed by hand, because they are more finely ground and more thoroughly mixed, and because there is less chance of the raw materials in them being adulterated. No painter, however careful he may be, can ever be sure that the materials he buys are not adulterated, but the large paint manufacturer does know in every case, because everything he buys goes through the chemist's hands before he accepts it Of coarse there are poor paints en the market (which are generally cheap paints). So there is poor flour, poor cloth, poor soap; but because of that do we go back to the hand-mill, the hand-loom and the soap-kettle of the backwoods No, we use our com mon sense In choosing goods. We find out the reputation of the different brands of flour, cloth and soap; we take account of the standing of the dealer that handles them, we ask our neighbors. So with paint; if the manufacturer has a good reputation. If the dealer is responsible, if our neighbors have had satisfaction with it, that ought to be pretty good evi dence that the paint is all right "Many men of many kinds" Many paints of many kinds; but while prepared paints may differ considerably in composition, tbe bet ter grades of them all agree pretty elosely in results. "All roads lead to Rome," and the paint manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object to make the best paint possible to sell for the least money, and so capture and keep the trade. There Is scarcely any other article of general use on the market to-day that can be bought with anything like the assurance of getting your money's worth as the established brands of pre. pared paint The paint you buy to day may not be like a certain patent medicine, "the same as you have al ways bought," but if not it will be because the manufacturer has found a way of giving you a better article for your money, and so making more sure of yonr next order.

Matthew, as sistant Curator of the American Mu seum of Natural History, there is little forgery of fossils and such things. For one reason the prices paid for articles in this city are not high enough to tempt forgers or even to repay tne work necessary to produce a success iul imitation. Yet some imitations are put on the market. There was, for instance, the fraud of which Prof. Cope was for .a time the victim. Prof. Cope made a specialty of fos sils and in one of his treaties an nounced the discovery of the Coeno tasileus tremontigerus, a new variety of mastodon. In a note in. a subsequent edition he acknowledged be was mis taken and that no such animal ever existed. He was led into error by purchasing what was represented to be a tooth of a hitherto unknown herd. Prof. Cope set out to discover the animal to which it had belonged, and classified it among the mastodons. It was not until after his publication of the fact that he discovered the fraud that had been practised on him. 1 hree teeth of a familiar variety had been glued together in a way that could not be detected except by micro scopic examination. Prof. Cope worked out his animal, and it was something even larger than a common or garden mastodon before he took to the mi croscope. In the came way a noted English naturalist was several years ago made a victim of a similar deception. A curious and unprecedented tooth was sold to him by a man who declared that he had found it in a part of Prance especially rich in fossils. The scientist had made extinct ver tebrates his special study. He was working hard over this tcoth, and was prepared to produce almost any kind of exotic and extinct animal when his suspicions were awakened as to its authenticity. It was then discovered that it con sisted of three teeth taken from the remains of prehistoric fish and glued together. The teeth of the fish were common enough and singly could have been recognized immediately. It was only the appearance of the three to gether and attributed to a mammal that mystified the learned doctor. The Indian relics that are now dug up in the southwest are not believed to be forged to any considerable ex tent Every piece that is bought for a museum of any pretensions must be properly accredited, and if its pedigree contains the name of no reputable scientist there is little chance that It will be accepted. In case it has such authentication the testimony of this expert will be sought There have undoubtedly been cases in which articles dug up at the home of former cliff dwellers were deposit ed there in advance, but such frauds have been detected and the money brought by these objects is not suffi cient to make imposture on any exten sive scale wonh while. Indian dress, arrows, household goods and similar relics are manufac tured by the Indians for sale just as they always have been, and they are not sold as antiques by any but the small dealers. The same holds true of the Alaskan relics that are begin ning to have an interest for American collectors. They are made now in larger quan tities than ever, and are alw viat the shopkeepers represent tbe :-i n be. They are too crude and too ea i!y im itate:! for the temptation to b 'es'rt ed, but there Is no trouble in u ling the genuine relics -in sufficient sup plies for the museums. Even they are not sold at very high prices. "It is tbe cheapness of most of the articles that helps to prevent imita tion," Dr. Matthew told the Sun re porter,' "and the money paid for them is not enough .to make the industry profitable on any large scale. "If anybody should send to the mu seum here the teeth that deceived Prof. Copo we should not pay more than ten dollars for them. So you see it is not worth while to make a very elaborate fraud for that" LaL;or in Old Times. Twelve hours in winter and 14 in sum mer was a fair average day's work.

Little Girl's Obstinate Case of Eczema Mother Says: "Cuticura Reme dies a Household Standby. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician, for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physi cian's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Oint ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Reme dies her feet and limbs were cover ed with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble.

And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling- and displace ments or perhaps irrejrolarity or suppression, causing' backache, ner vousness, irritability and lassitude.
