It is set forth that In the event oi the
rejection in Mr. iiay's'plan. there will
be no attempt madc on the part of
the United States to obtain through
force or arms the purposes set forth In
the Secretary's note. The statement
is as follows:
“After some preliminary exchange oi

ed In Chinese mattcrs. the Department
on the 10th oi February sent the fol-
lowing Instructions to the American

oi a flowery orator, and a woman.
he might have expressed himself by
saying: "The woman who Is going
to grow old early in life Is the woman
who Is always fretting because she
knows that old age is bound to come."
The popular senator at over 60 Is as
young as some women I know who
are not yet 30, and undoubtedly the
fact that he reiueea to recognise the
need for growing old has a good deal
to do with his youthfulnesa. If a

THE OYSTER‘B POSITION.

“Why does an oyster sleep and live
on its left side?" asked a man who is
Interested In oystcr culture. "Well. i
suppose we will have to put the ques-
tion to Nature. and Nature has her
own way of answering questions. I
have been around In the oyster waters
of the Chesapeake bay and Clioptank
river ior many years and am In a posi-
tion to say that this Is the natural way
oi the oyster. I may remark paren-
thetically thntthis is one of the dim-
cullics we have to contend with. for in
rcbcdding oysters and launching them
an oyster is occasionally thrown upon it
light shit and weighted so that It can-
not turn over. It simply dwindles
away and dies by degrees Put upon
its right side the oyster sannot live
Oi course there is an explanation to
this peculiarity. The right hand part
of the oyster shell Is the top and tool'-
able part. if the oyster Is not In its
natural |iosition~<tliat Is. on its left
slde—-—ltrequires but a small amount of
physical energy to open and raise the
right hand section of the shell when
the oyster wants to feed. Reverse the
position and put the oyster on the right
side. and we find an extrcmcly difficult
problem. from the oyster's standpoint.
In order to open the shell for feeding
purposes it Is necessary for the oyster
to raise not only the weight of the left
section oi the shell..bul its own weight
as well. if we reverse the natural po-
sition of the oyster. put it on Its right
hand side and wedge It i.) it can't turn
over. We simply smother and starve It
to death. Of course. i am Just theoris-
ing about this thing. There ,may be
some other exolanatlon of the left
handed life of the oyster. but irom my
experience i am Inclined to think the
explanation given In a reasonable one."
