How Imitation Pearls are Made.

'sYou would hardly think" said a
dealer in fancy goods, holding up a
4 sting of glass beads as big as cherry,
MAJ : in imitation of pearls, 'sthat to get
the pearl tint on each one of those little
globes that the lives of at least fifteen
beautiful fish had to be sacrificed, would

they are made in Venice and that string

crn sell it to you for quarter and make
\ fair profit.
] They've been turning out beads like
these in Venice ever since 1856. There
IS fish in the Adriatic they call the
bleak fish, but why bleak can't say.
There Is nothing bleak about its appear
ance. 1t is a graceful fish, with glittering
armor of silver scalr They are more
prolific and swarm in larger schools than
herring. One day in 1856, q resident
of Venice, Salvador Joaquin by
name, placed several of these fish
ia small aquarium to observe their
habits. After they had been confined in
the acquarian for some time, he noticed
5 NA0t tAAC WtAbGA GOOA On u pChI1y nuC.
Believing that this was communicated by
the scales of she bleak fish, Joaquin
tried some experiments with them. He
found that water could be SO densely
charged with the tint from these scales
that glass on being dipped in it and then
allowed to dry had every appearance of
pearl. He coated glass beads with the
liquid, and they were readily taken for
large pearls The coating would not
resist mucl friction, however, and soon
rubbed off the surface. Finding that a
great sale could be had for beads made
in imitation of pearls if the coating could
be made permanent, Joaquin conceived
the idea of having the globes blown
hollow and then fixing the fish-scale
LIQUID to the inner surface. This was q
success from the start, and the glass
pearl bead business got its first boom.
It requires the scales OF four thousand
bleak fish to make half pint of the
pearl liquid They are simply removed
from tho fish, which are cheap as moss
bunkers and soaked in tepid water
Nowadays very small quantity of sal
ammonia and isingIass is added to the
liquid. It is introduced inside the bead
by small tube, and when it is dry q
coating Of wax is ran over it. Fortu-
nately for the fish, the trade in these
beads, pretty and cheap as they are, is
not alarmingly large"

And he spoke SO frankly and pleas
antly that Theo became quite at her
ease, while he carved the chicxea and
she prepared the crisp lettuce and
limpid oil for the salad.
He was taken up to Mr.. Reeds sick
room after dinner. and had pleasant
chat with him before the afternoon ser
vice.
"You have done me great favor
sir" said the elder clergyman. when at
length he parted from his guest. And
we should esteem it ! privilege my
little girl and I--if you would make it
your home at the parsonage during
your stay in town. Should we not,
Theo?''
Theodore hung down her head, and
turned pink to the very roots OF her
hair.

"Only--I am ashamed to say so. oh,
papa" hiding her face on his shoulder,

And then, infinitely to Mr.. Hervey's
amusement, she told the whole story of
her interview with Deacon Powers.
Mr.. Reed smiled. as hestroked Theo's
head.
MY little girl is only little CIR"
said he. '.and sometimes forgets that
the tongue is an unruly member. But
the will improve as she grows older"
Mr.. Hervey spent the summer at
Wind6eld. He was revising the proof
sheets of a theological volume, and
liked the quiet and seclusion of the lit
tie village.
Perhaps, too, he liked something else
about it. At all events. although he
did not make the parsonage his home,
he spent great deal Of his time there.
"Theo," ne said, one day they had
become fast friends by this time-"you
have tasted so many of the petty trials
and annoyances of being ministers
daughter that / wonder if you would
ever consent to be minister's wife
'Well," said Theo, half laughing,
half blushing, cit would depend good

with lovely look Of awe and happi-

Deacon Powers could not compre-

temples. "you must send note TO Mr..

place, as a special favor"
"Who is Mr.. Hsrvey?" asked Theo-
dora.
II don't know sighed Mr.. Reed.
II only know that he was to be at
Windfeld this week. Most probably ne
will be at the Star hotel"

feigning cheerfulness that she was

So she ran down stairs and set her

She sat down aid wrote little note,

once to make sure of no errors, and

grant us the great favor of preaching

even to prepare sermon. We shall

us tomorrow after church.
THEODORA REED.
And after satisfying herself that it
was all quite right, she carried it her
self to the Star hotel
Mr.. Hervey was not in, hadn't been
in since morning.
But they would give him the note
directly on his arrival; SO Theodore
hlrried home again. and in the course
of the afternoon, little coloTed boy
from the hotel brought card, on one
side of which was engraved. Henry
Heryey," while upon the other was
written the words, with the greatest
pleasure"
And the minister's daughter, ION
hospftable thought intent" roasted a
pair of chickens, collected the ingredi-
ents for a salad, made peach-pie and
baked . loaf of bread, which was light
and white as sea-foam.
"I'Il show him that the country girls
understand good housekeeping" said
Thee to herself.
Mr.. Reed was not able TO leave his
sofa the next morning, so Thee put on
her pretty blue-and-white muslin dress
and the gypsy hat with the roses that
became her delicate complexion so per-
fectly, and went TO church. after first
seeing that the table was all spread for
the cold dinner, and the coffee-pot simr
mering on the stove.
The church was fun.
Mr.. Hervey was rising luminary in
the theological horizon, and almost
every one In Windfield had heard OF
him, so there was no lack of an audi
ence.
But to TheOdora's ineffable dismay,
the tall young man who walked 80
composedly ont on the platform was no
other than the frank faced person who
had stood On her kitchen threshold,
only the day before, and overheard hen
diatribe on the subject Of undasired
guests.

Theodore was busy making pear
marmalade, with pocket-handkerchief
fastened, Beatrice Cenci fashion, over
her luxuriant brown tresses, huge,
checked apron enveloping her trim
little figure. and sleeves rolled up above
the elbow.
Deacon Powers stood opposite, ner-

Theodore was young and pretty.

Deacon Powers was elderly and

said Theodore, brusquely. Last week

be convenient for the semi-annuaI con-
vention. In fact, / don't remember a

"Your predecessor. Miss Reed-the
lamented Mrs. Smiley-was never
averse to entertaining the saints" re-
proachfully uttered the deacon. "Her
door was ever open and her amiable
hospitality"
"Oh, yes, I know!' said Theodore
