Pearls.

Pearls have been rising in value in the
European market so long and threaten to
rise so steadily that they may soon be-
come the costliest, as they have long
been the most elegant, ornaments OF
beautiful woman. Many a jewel is fifty
times as effective; the ruby is richer in
color, the diamond is brighter, gold and
silver are more plastic-as full of posi-
bilities as Reynard's bag of tricks. The
pearl has but its mild satin skin, like an
angels shoulder, its rounded curves;
vet its shy, moony lustre seems to have
more permanent hold over a dainty fancy
than many more vivid and more robust
material. True, it is mere carbonate of
lime; true, its globing form comes but
from the sickness of an invertebrate; its
colors are drawn, not from the living
fish, but from its putrescence after death.
An ornament that owes its existence
to nothing but disease and decay GER
tainly draws little from sentiment; and
perhaps the pearl owes more to its con-
slant association with the noble pict-
ures of beauteous women than to its
intrinsic glory. For all that, the deco
rative position OF pearls IS quite unas-
sailable. In spite of their grim origin,
a ncclklet of fine pearls remains a far
more refined and dainty ornament than
one of brilliants. We should naturally
deck Aspasia with diamonds, but Poly
xena with pearls, (though no doubt it
ought to be the other way.) Perhaps
one reason is the presence in pearls of
star glitters, said Emerson; "the planet
has faint, moon-like ray"
Enormous sums have been given for
pearls in all ages, because they were so
beloved. "Cleopatra would have swal-
lowed diamond had not pearl been
costlier, Arch-Snobbess as She wasl and
the ''pearl of great price" has been a
synonym for the most precious possession
from time lmmemorial.- GeHtlemaa''

FoR FREcKLEs.

A young lady correspondent requests
cure for freckles. The golden brown
variety, that appears only in the summer,
may be readily removed, but those of a
more permanent kind are difficult to get
rid Of, and many can only be mitigated
by an acid lotion and avoiding extreme
exposure to the sun. We give few
simple remedies, recommended by the
best authorizes, and hope they may prove
of use to some girlish readers, who, how
ever, may console themselves with the
fact that the distasteful brown specks are
an evidence of good complexion.
Take finely-powdered inter (saltpeteT),
and apply it to the freckles by the finger,
moistened with water and dipped in the
powder. When perfectly done and ju-
diciously repeated, it will often remove
them effectively and without trouble. An
excellent freckle.lotion may be made of
two gallons of strong soapsuds, to which
are added one pint of alcohol and
quarter of pound of rosemary. Keep
in close jar, and apply with a linen
cloth. Please remember that what Will
help in one case may be quite useless In

HOW TO IRON SHIRT
First, iron the wristbands dry and then
the sleeves. Open the sleeves before they
dry sticking together because of the
starch. Then pick up the shirt at the
shoulders and iron the yoke. This done,
iron the back by folding down the mid
die, ironing toward each sleeve to avoid
touching the bosom. Now lay the shirt
down with the bosom uppermost, and iron
the neck band. AS you iron the band pull
the body of the shirt at the neck up at
right angles to the face of the iron. When
your band is thus ironed dry you will
find it nicely in shape. Now iron all the
front of the shirt except the bosom. Put
in the bosom board, get nice fresh iron
which is not too hot, rub off your bosom
with a bit of damp cloth, stretch tight
and iron dry. Now for folding. Lay
the shirt on the bosom, take up plait in
the back, then fold one side over from
the edge of the bosom and lay the sleeve
of this side upon it; fold the other side
upon this, and the sleeve on top of this.
Now you can pick up without disarrang-
ing, place on line over quick heat, and
your work is done.-Neio York Herald.

An Indian Snake Yarn.

A remarkable snake story current
throughout British India is thus summed
up in an article on "The Naja- Kallu, or
Cobra Stone" which Professor II. Hen
soldt, Ph.D., of Columbia College, New
York, has written for Hdrper's Magazine
"Some cobras-perhaps one in twenty
are in possession of precious stone
which shines in the dark. This stone
the snake is in the habit of carrying
about in its mouth, regarding it as a
treasure, which it carefully preserves and
defends with its life. At night the
cobra deposits the stone in the grass and
watches its, as if fascinated, for hours
and woe to him who then approaches,
for the cobra is never more dangerous
than when occupied in this manner.
The Professor tells how he secured one
@ these precious stones by tricking its
Hrpent owner; and how he accounts sci
hti6cally for the seeming marvel OF

LETTING RABIES WALK TOO EARLY.

The senseless conduct of many parents
in encouraging their babies to walk is pro-
ductive of lasting injury. Long before
their soft bones ought to have any strain
putu them, you will see these poor in
fants encouraged to stand, and even to
walk, and by the time they are fourteen
or sixteen months old their little legs
have been bent very considerably, and the
greatest care is needed to straighten the
bones again. Sometimes unsatisfactory
operations are required; at other times
cumbrous appliances have to be used,
which cause the poor child much trouble,
and represent very considerable outlay.
Why not have little patience9 All in
good time the tiny creature will learn to
walk, and will walk well and safely,
without danger of its tender bones bend
ing. Under year, ,.let the child crawl,
but do not let it walk, seldom indeed
stand, and then only but for minute,
and from one year to eighteen or twenty
months do not allow it to walk much
and when grow-up people help it to walk,
they ought to stoop very considerably,
and not put any strain on its feeble little
body. Many a cripple owes its lifelong
misery to the injudicious encouragement
of proud but foolish parents, who could
not be induced to wait for natures good

What the Washington Star regards as
long step toward democracy is en-
bodied in a resolution TO be introduced
in the English House of Lords, providing
that a peer of the realm shall have the
right to resign his place and stand for
election in the House of Commons. By
this means the youthful and energetic
members of the oldest and most aristo-
cratic families of England may be en-
ablcd to get from beneath the burden of
their birth and coming in touch with the
people lead on more speedily to that
democracy which must come, and which
will be the purer and better and safer
democracy if it have as its representatives
and leaders the best men of the nation,
regardless of the distinctions of birth and
class.

On the river of life, as foat along,
see with the spirits sight
That many a nauseous weed Of wrong
Has root in a seed Of right.
For evil is good that has gone astray,
And sorrow is only blindness,
And the world is always under the sway
OF changeless law Of kindness.
The commonest error truth can make
Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse.
And sin is only the souls mistake
In misdirecting its force.
And love, the fairest of all fair things,
That ever to men descended,
Grows rank with nettles and poisonous things
Unless it is watched and tended.
There could not be anything better than this
Old world in the way it began,
And though some matters have gone amiss
From the great original plan;
And however dark the skies may appear,
And however souls may blunder,
l tell you it will all work out clear,
For good lies over and under.

Thirty-fve of these petitions were re-
jected, but the thirty-sixth being accept

deprived of its drink turned out and beat
to death the man who had drawn up the
petition. They said he had been alto

The Journal de So. Pstersbouyg, in COM
menting upon the German Emperor's
pans for ameliorating the condition of
the workingmen, says that only Gov
ernment conscious of its own power
would attempt such task, for the reason
that it is absolutely necessary for that
Government to be possessed of means of
checking any misconstruetion of its plans
that might be attempted, and preserving
public harmony in the event of such mis-
understanding. The Berlin Post rtcog-
nizes the humane sentiments that
prompted the Emperor in formulating
the plans, but observes that he has en-
tered upon very dangerous path, and
compares his proposal to the similar at
tempt of Napoleon III. in 1868, at which
time the French Monarch announced a
European congress before he had con-
suited any of the other powers.

has received for its museum specimen of
the double cocoanut, known also as coco
de mer. For hundreds of years the ori-
gin of these nuts was a mystery, for they
were never seen except when they were
washed up by the sea. They were sup
posed to have wonderful powers in the
way Of curing disease, and were the sub
iect of other superstitions until the
places where they grew was at last
discovered TO be the Seychelles, a small
group of islands in the Indian Ocean.
Formerly they were worth their weight
in gold, and they are rare now.

A Physicians Comprehensive Rule.

An old physician, being once appealed
to for some general comprehensive rule
for the preservation of good health, re-
piled. "Keep clean" Cleanliness, from
a medical point of view, generally means
the absence of noXious germs. The laity
generally comprehend in the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have reference
to the purity of the mind and soul. All
these combined would form the first
principle of good health. Freedom from
all filth with reference to the body and
its surroundings, freedom from contami-
nation of mind and soul, would make
the individual not only free from mate
rial pollutions but would inspire him
with sense of cleanliness, feeling OF
purity that would cleanse life and glorify
the consciousness Of living. There is a
meaning in the word "clean" that pene.
trates beyond things seen, and touches
the mental and spirital nature of human
ity. Cleanliness in a material sense may
not abhor designations and debauches
which oppress life with a sense of impu-
rity, vitiating the sources Of health and
impairing its enjoyment, "Keep clean"
is an admonition carrying with it an in
spiration which not only invigorates life,
but makes it enjoyable and beautiful.
Cleanliness brings not only comfort and
health, but il adorns living, gives exist
ence a charm, imparts consciousness Of
life, real enjoyment, thought and feeling
Of existence, the purpose and sanctity
of living, There is world of meaning
in the two words "keep clean. "-Sani

Had my wish, the world should hold
One nook entranced in fancy's mold;
One little spot where bud and vine
Made nature drunk with beauty's wine,
Where happy love could ne'er grow old.
And here in simple ways grown bold
Wed laugh at fame, nor sigh for gold;
Our lives should be a song divine,

And twilight came across the void
I'd look into your face benign
And feel your lips pressed soft on mine,
While on and on the big earth rolled,

When we study the progress of agri-
culture we find, says the New York
Times, most conspicuous illustrations of
the tendency of production to exceed the
demands of consumers. Corn, for in
stance, has increased in quantity far
ahead of the increase 10 population. In
1874 the area in this crop was 1,000,-
900 acres; in 1856 it had grown to more
than rs, 900, 600 acres, an increase of s5
per cent. During these twelve years the
population increased only 36 per cent.
The same excess has occurred in the pro-
duction of cattle and hogs and the sala-
bic products Of these staple agricultural
products. 1t is not difficult to discover
the cause of this great and dispropor-
tionate increase. The extension of rail
roads in the great corn and cattle grow
ing regions has forced vast increase in
the population, and has led to the culti-
walton OF enormous areas and the pro.
duedon Of enormous crops and herds Of
cattle with the inevitable result Of de-
prcssed values.
