ing it an unconsconable time.
"Why don't those mining fellows in-
sure their lives?'' asked Dyson.
"As director of one of the largest
insurance companies, echo the ques-
ton: Why don't they insure their
livesP" This from Dempsey.
"To subscribe to any fund for the
benefit of their widows and orphans is
an encouragement of willful improvi-
dence," resumed Pebworth. "They
won't get penny OF my money"
"Nor of mine," asseverated Demp-
sey.
Nor of mine." echoed the Captain.

Clunie and Elma sat for a little while
in silence. The former had brought u
book with her, the latter her embroid-
cry. AT length Clunie could conta n
herself no longer. "Elma, you really
ought to be ashamed of yourself!" she
burst out.

placidity of tone.

"Some people are poor, but still

"He is rather clever as a mimic.

"You are as bad as Mr.. Drummond," ="
said Clunic, disdainfully, and with that
she founced away to the other end OF

Neither of them spoke for full five
minutes. Then Elma said: "Clunie!
Her cousin took no notice; so, after
waiting minute, she said coaxingly
"Clunie, dear!''
"What do you wantP" asked Clunie,
ungraciously.
II want to ask your advice, dear"
"My advice, Elmap" answered hel

Scarcely had the words left his lips,
when Mrs. ebworth entered. She was
homely- looking, certainly, and plainly
dressed; but she had a pleasant good
tempered face, andpretension or atfecta-
tion of any kind was evidently alto

that may be wanted. The most expen-
sive collection of pearls on record is that
owned by the Countess of Dudley in Eng
land, which is far more valuable than
the celebrated pearls belonging to the
Queen. The Countess has a coronet of
pearls. The top is composed of pear
shaped pearls. There is a very large one
in the centre, and the others are gradua
ted in size down to the smallest. In or
der to get these p~ear-shaped pearls in
the requisite siA-. and color the jewellers
were Obliged 10 buy such an enormous
quantity of pearls that when the famous

When the Princess Royal o: ENGLAND
married Frederick William of Prussia
she received a necklace of thirty two pearls
costing $4,000 In 1889 the French
Government possessed pearls valued
at 5000, 600. One that weighed lOS grains
was valued at $37 900. Two that were
pear shaped were valued at $55, 800.
The black pearls bring very high
prices at present, but genuine pearls NAV

The peculiar color which is call pearl is a
sort OF transparent drab. There is at
present a greater demand for pearls, as
there is, IN fact, for all kinds of jewelry,
thar has been known for a long time.
The plentifulness OF limitations does not
appear TO destroy the value of the gen.

value OF pearls may be gathered from W

One Man to Four Beds.

Raleigh has entertained everybody that
has come. One Or two nights at board
ing-houses that were especially popular,
20 men have occupied one room; but that
was unnecessary. The most amusing Incl
dent of the rush was this: At boarding
house, which may be called hotel so pub
lie is it, nine gentlemen were to be placed
in one room, There were only oeds and
all were vexed about the addition of the
odd man. Some went to the theatre, some
went to the Exposition that night,
and every man that was late not
unnaturaliy concluded that he would
be the ninth fellow to get in, and
he had better 60 somewhere else. Some
procured lodging elsewhere, some slept in
chairs in the office; and only one Of all the
nine, occupied the room. He went to bed
at o'clock and woke up to his astonish-
ment, all alone in the room.

How it Strikes a Stranger.

The following extract is from private
letter from Capt. E. Everett, of Nanse-
mond county, Va, to friend in this city
after visit here, giving his impressions
of the Exposition and our people. Capt.
Everett is the proprietor of a fine farm on
the Nansemond river, and knows how to
appreciate the Exposition. He says:
81 was delighted with the Exposition
and all its surroundings. / was more
than pleased with the good people whose
acquaintance l made They were polite
and agreeable-nothing ''stuck up" about
them, and their very faces indicated the
lady and the gentleman, and the very at
mosphere breathed was laden with the
aroma of an honest, industrious and en-
terprising people.
During my stay in the ''oity of oaks"
and at the Exposition grounds, heard
not an oath, and did not see drunken
man.
Twas anxious to see Gen. Scales, your
next Governor, and make his acquain-
tance. I hope he will pull through" all
right
In Virginia the negroes, and few ''gal-
vanized" white men, are resorting to dirty
tricks to carry our State, but hope God
will save us this time and give us Dem
Ocratic government
