The PEARL.
Interesting Facts About the Pearl-Fishing
Industry.

Interesting Facts About the Pearl-Fishing
Industry.
In an interview with q pearl fisher
the following facts about the industry
are to be found: ''You will see," he
said, 'by these perforations in the back
how many enemies the pearl oyster
has, pointing to the back of the shell,
which was much honeycombed. IF
they succeed in boring clean to the
flesh it is all up with the oyster. The
theory of the pearl is that some foreign
substance, bit of grit or shell, finds
its way within the harness and the
oyster, to avoid the irritating friction,
begins the process of pearl manufact-
ure by the peculiar secretion. The
pearl is generally found in the beard.
| need not tell you that the shells are
highly valuable articles of commerce.
When the opener has passed his hand
in to feel for the pearl he throws it to
the cleaner, who does his work, the
shells are packed up in hogsheads, and
when they arrive in London they are
sold by auction in Mincing Lane to go
to the manufacturer, for the shell has
taken the place of ivory. The pearling
season lasts from March to the middle of
December, for in the summer months the
hurricanes render this fishing impossi-
BILE. The plan of operations is some-
thing in this wise: The fleet is distrib-
uted over the tishing-grounds, and one
or two of them see to the supply of
fresh water and stores. The mother
ship generally lies at anchor in the
bay, and the small boats leave her
every morning to go to their various
grounds close by. At night they return
with their cargoes. The decked boats
90 further afield, and bring the results
of their labor at long intervals. At
certain times the mail steamer, which
calls at Freemantle, ships the cargo,
which comes home, the pearls them
selves being sent through registered
letters, and passing through post. The
pearl is the most aristOcratic jewel.
No one but the rich aristocrat can afford
to own it. To be inestimable in its value
pearl should be perfectly round like
marble, pure and spotless. A black
pearl is a rarity, and from thousand
shells you might obtain one. l sup
pose one of the Rothschilds has the
finest collection of pearls in the world.
Lord Tweedmouth comes second, and
Lord Bristol is close third. The fash
ion in jewels alters rapidly, though
pearls always take the first rank. AT
present the emerald is the fashionable
jewel, why, I can not say; then come
rubies and sapphires; the diamond is
but common gewgaw. Every one can
buy diamonds nowadays. l remember
in 1870 diamonds cost ETA carat.
The price has fallen to Is, the result
of too great supply. But a really
magnificent jewel, no matter whether
pearl or diamond, always retains its
value, and collector, if he chooses to
invest large sums in the purchase of the
best article, can always sell at profit.
One of the greatest difficulties in dealing
with diamonds is the operation of cut
ting, which needs an apprenticeship OF
lifetime to make an eXl ert. There
are few good cutters in the world, and
there is actually only one man who can
drill diamond.-PaUM Mall Gazette.

SQUARING ACCOUNTS FOR GLORY.

Squire, the Democratic Commits.

City, made political dicker with an,
other rascal called Flynn, by letter,
whereby Flynn, In consideration of
political work for Squire, was to have
the naming of all the appointees in
the hands of Squire as Commissioner
The thing leaked out by Hubert O.
Ihompson's dying before he covered
up the tracks. The tell,tale letter
involved Grace, Mayor of New York
City, and he hauled up Squire and
Flynn before him for trial under the
city law.
While Grace was investigating, the
Grand Jury were also, and found in
dicsments against both Squire and
Flynn. An officer armed with a war
rant, by virtue of those indictments,
stepped in Mayor Grace's courtroom
andstook Squire and Flynn away. The
affair will probably prove to be Sec

other shrewd Tilden will arise, wrap.

that when he is conscious of his paraly-
