The Bid Was Withdrawn

In Jacksonville. Fla, in the winter of
lS4S, an auction sale of the personal es-
tate of a deceased planter, comprising
some seventy or eighty slaves and other
''chattels, was held in the public market
place. | was glad of the opportunity to
see for myself how such things were done.
On beginning the sale the auctioneer an
nounced that families would not be separ-
ated, hut would be sold in lots" After
a number of lots" had been duly brought
to the block and knocked down to the high
est bidders. a brlght-looking boy was
brought forward and placed upon the stand.
The auctlOneer at the same time called an
old colored man among the crowd to come
up and stand beside the boy. He did so.
and the auctioneer then said:
Gentlemen. the old man is this bow 5
father; he lives in the West Indies. and is
free man. He wants to buy the bow and
take him to his home and make him free
He bids 800, which is all the money he
has"
The intent of this statement was evil
IDENTIFY to discourage any advance on that
bid, and it touched sympathetic chord in
his audience. The crowd watched the pro-
ceedlngs for a minute or two in silence
while the auctioneer dwelt upon the bid of
$500, and was calling it for the third and
last time, when from the outskirts of the
crowd, a voice bid Fifty" Every eve
was at once turned in the direction of the
bidder, who was a rough dissipated-look-
fellow, typical slave trader in appearance.
The auctioneer paused a moment, looked
annoyed, and then repeated his previous
statement concerning the old man, EN-
phasizing the remark that $500 was all the
money he mad
And now, :" said he, Il am bid four
and fifty" From dozen voices came the
cry, Withdraw your bid!'' The auc-
tiOneer awaited the result The bidder
growIed surly refusal. saying he want
ed that boy, and had as good a right to
bid as anybody -Four hundred and
fifty, came slowly from the lips of the
| auctioneer. The shouts of withdraw
your bid!' We're repeated in angry tones
on every side
We'll, said the bidder. II withdraw
it,
The auctioneer quickly went back to
| the original bid, on which he dwet two or
three times, when down went his hammer.
Sold at four hundred Old man, the
boy is yours; take him down" The crowd
cheered. and the principal figure in this
little drama, who the moment before. had
been the picture of despair, hurried down
from the stand smiling and happy.

Talking about Thanksgiving when

Bertha nerved herself for a painful
interview with her mother; hut, to her
great surprise, she not only found that
her mother already knew all that she
could tell her, but that, instead of being
overwhelmed hv the shock, rs she had
expected, she was quite cheerful.
During the time that interviewed be-

passed away. Happening into book auc-
ton sale in Boston. his attention was at
once attracted to the taking title of book
which the auctioneer was then offering,
and which he announced as Saving Inter

Turning to friend he remarked that
he had probably lost hundreds of dol
lars in interest, and if there was any
way to save it he wanted to know it. So
he bid good round sum and the book was
knocked down to him. Judge of the sur

THE MAKING OF BEADS,
Where the Pretty Glittering Raubles
are Manufactured for the Market

Where the Pretty differing Baubles
are Manufactured for the Market
Most OF the worlds beads are Venetian.
| says Harper's Magazine. In the island
of MuranO 900 wOrkmen are devoted to
this branch. The first process is to draw
the glass into tubes of the diameter of the
proposed bead. For this purpose the glass
house at Murano has kind of rope-walk
gallery $50 feet long. By gathering var
louS colors from ditfernt pots and twisting
them into one mass many combinations of
color are made. The tubes are carefully
sorted by diameters and shaped into frag-
ements of uniform size. These pieces are
stirred III a mixture of sand and ashes
which fills the holes and prevents the sides
from closing together when they are heated
They are next placed in a kind of frying
pan and constantly stirred over fire until
the edges are rounded into a globular form
When cool they are shaken into one
set OF sleeves until the ashes are separated
and In another series of sleeves until they
are perfectly sorted by sizes. Then thew are
threaded by children. tied in bundles. and
exported to the ends of the earth France
has long produced the pearl beads. e"
which in the finer forms are close imita-
tions of pearls. They are said to have been
invented by Joaquin in 1856 The common
variety, threaded for ornaments, is blown
from glass tubes. An expert workman can
blow 5000 Or 5000 globules in day. They
are lined with powdered fsh-scales and
filed with wax 1t takes 5000 fsh-scales
to make pound of the scaIy essence of
pearl. Until recently the heirs of Joaquin
still carried on large factory of these mock
pearls. The best of them are blown irregu-
lar to counterfeit nature-svme in pear
shape, others like olives, and they easily
pass for genuine.
Imitation gems formerly employed the
chief attention of the highest artifcers in
glass. They are still the chief idea of or
namental glass in China. In the ancient
and middle ages they circulated everywhere
without much danger of discovery, and the
formulas were held as precious secrets.
Blancourt first published their composition
in 1896. Now they are common property.
and, with the growth of science in the last
century. an expert knowledge has become
widely disseminated which easily detects
the paste from the real jewel, particularly
as the modern false stones are less success
