Oyster Most Popular of Shellfish
Oysters are the most popular and
extensively eaten of all shellfish. It
is held by some authorities that they
are the most important of all culti-
vated water products and with the
single exception of the sea herrings
the moat valuable of the aquatic ani-
mals,
According to the latest figures the
oyster e.rrp of the world amounts to
over 42,000,000 bushels and is valued
at nearly $25,000,000.
Frilly 1.00 species are known, with a
eouhparatively wide range in size,
shape, habits, flavor, and food value.
Some fine species exist in the equa-
torial and subtropical regions, but the
best are found in temperate clunes.
The northern limits of theta habitat
are Gulf of St. Lawrence and southern

and Puget Sound in the Pacific,

the Atlantic coast of North America,
while in other species both sexes are
united in one individual—the male
stage alternating with the fefnale, as
in the common oyster of the Atlantic
coast of Europe.
As every female oyster lays from
50,000 to 60,000 eggs in a season, it is
not surprising that the oyster beds
are not exhausted, even though the
consumption of oysters is enormous.
Irhmense quantities are shipped from
certain beds along the Atlantic coast
throughout eight months of the year
and yet the supply never seems to
come to an end.
Among the smallest oysters known
is that which the people, of England,
France and Germany usually eat. --.the
oysters dug in the neighborhood of
Ostend, in Belgium. The largest
oysters are those of the Pacific Ocean,
Australia and the Philippine Islands.

transplanted from the Atlantic coast
to the Pacific, have been found to de-
velop into great size, but to lose their
flavor to such an extent that they be-
come scarcely eatable.

The colonel stepped back a bit and
his face flamed. "Glory!" he whis-
pered. "Glory no more for the Hir-
ondelle? What of the Croix de
Guerre?"
Rafael shook his head. "I hof heard
my colonel who said they would have
given me—me, the Hirondelle—the
war -cross. That now is lost, too."
"Lost!" The colonel's deep tone was
full of the vibration which only a
French voice carries. With a quick
movement he unfastened the catch
that held the green ribbon, red -striped,
of his own cross of war. He turned
and pinned the thing which men die
for on the sfhabby coat of the guide.
Then he kissed him on either cheek.
"My comrade,' he -said, "your glory
will never be old."
There was deep silence in the camp
kitchen. The crackling of wood that
fell apart, the splashing of the waves
of the lake on the pebbles by the shore
were the only sounds on earth. For
a long minute the men stood as if
rooted; the colonel, poised and dram-
atic, and I, stirred to the depths of
my soul by this great ceremony which
had come out of the skies to its
humble setting in the forest—the men
and the colonel and I, we all watched
Rafael.
And Rafael slowly, yet with the iron
tenacity of his race, got back his con-
trol. `My colonel," he began, and
then failed, The Swallow slid not dare
trust his broken wings. It could not
be done—to speak hes thanks. He
looked up with black eyes shining
through tears which spoke everything.
"To -morrow," he stated brokenly,
"if we hof a luck, my colonel and I go
kill a moose."
They had a luck.

ABRAHAM, J. C B
AND Al LENBY
TRAVELLED OVER THE
ANCIENT ROAD.
Abraham Took Southward
Journey While Conquering
General Marched North.
On October 2, 1018, General Allenby,
at the head of the British army,
marched into the city of Damascus,
1)amaecuss is the oldest inhabited
city of the world. Its origin seems lost
in antiquity, although Josephus says
it was founded by I.Iz, the grandson of
Sheni. Abraham, on his way south-
ward from IIarren to Canaan tarried
for a short time there. It was then a
populous centre. In the time of David
the King of Damascus sent his troops
to assist the Kirak of 7obalh in restat-
ing the encroachment of the Israel-
ites, but David defeated the allied
armies and slaughtered 2,000 "Syri-
ans of Dahilas ells." It was near Da-
mascus •that Paul of Tereus was
struck blind and converted while on
his way from Jerusalem to persecute
the Christians, and it was from the
walls of Dnmaecus that the same
apostle was let down in a basket to
escape the wrath 01 the nitwit ted
Jews. And, outside the city walls,
lies the body of Buckle, the famous
English Historian.
Hoary With Age.
Damascus is located in one of the
most beautiful eputs on the earth. In
the bosons at a luxuriant bed of ver.
dure, thirty ni!lei; in circumference,
lies this most apc'ient city of the earth.
\Vide spreading orcleirtis surround
the city in all directions. An endless
variety of fruits and crops sprint; out
of tate soil- -oran mss, applea, Bears,
lemons, c!trons, plume, prunes. grapes,
figs and mulberries. The innumer-
able productive gardeus, the shade of
exuberant trees, the ores • of gorgeous
birds, the fields of waving gra!u, the
sparkle of limpid waters, the scent of
voluptuous flowers and the music of
babbling brooks, constitute a veritable
paradise to the cry cs of the roving Be-
douins of the desert.
And thus, in the midst of this sump-
tuous loveliness, steeds Damascus,
es it has stood for fifty centuries—
proud, hoary, venerable, immutable,
defiant of time!
But General Allenby slid not dally
in the charms of this paradise. North-
ward he marched, relentlessly pur-
suing the Tusks. He followed sub-
stantially the same. route, only in an
opposite direction, that Abraham pur-
sued on his journey southward into
Canaan. On October 6, the British
commander captui'edZahleli and
Rayake On the 13th he entered Tri-
poli, on the lith he occupied Hems.
With tireless energy the pushed• on
over the route of Abraham and on
October 26 the victorious captain en-
tered the city of Aleppo.
Road of the Patriarchs.
Four days later, October 30, 1913,
the Turkish Empire collapsed and the
War in the Holy Laud came to an end.
General Allenby, with his troops, re-
mained quartered at Aleppo. This
important city, lying sixty miles east-
ward of Antioch, is, likewise, a habi-
tation of great antiquity. Abraham
also stopped there on his journey'
southward, 'Then it was known as
Helbon. Centuries afterward Ezekiel
spoke of the "wine of Helbon."
General Allenby was on the direct
road to Harran, the city from which
Abraham started on his celebrated
journey into Canaan. Hall the Turks
not capitulated it is possible that the
British commander w would have cross-
ed the Euphrates and marched to the
birthplace of Rachel, the mother of
Joseph.
Thirty-seven centnuries before Gen-
eral Allenby's campaign, Jacob tra-
velled northward over practically the
same route that the British general
took—not to conquer cities, but to
capture a bride.
