How Illinois Streams Are Dragged for

Some time during the first part OF last
June small boy who had been padding
in the Pecatonica river, near Darling

consin, brought to the surface what ap-
peared to be common fresh water
clam, like those which abound along the
shores of the Upper Mississippi and
and other streams throughout the North
west. Upon prying the she'll open the
lad found sticking to the inner surface
large pear-shaped substance. which on
being detached was found to be of a
lustrous hue when exposed to the light,
and was white in color, with a smooth,
polished surface. 1t was at once shown
to a jeweler, who pronounced it pearl

amined by an expert, whose decision
corresponded with his own regarding
the nature of tho gem, and who fixed o
price upon it double that which was
paid by the Monroe jeweler.
The news of the find spread through
out that section and !: few curious ones
began an immediate search for st ellis, in
both the Pectatonica and Plum rivers,
and wore rewarded by unearthing large
numbers OF them, many of which. on be-
ing opened, were found to contain pearls
OF various sizos, from a quarter of a
carat To three carats In weight. BY this
time the excitement became intense,
and scores OF people, old and young, in
cluding both sexes, laid aside their
legitimate avocations and fockcd to the
aforementioned streams and eagerly
began the search tor shells, using ali
sorts OF utensils for the purpose, the
rake being the most favored.
The streams being shallow their bed,
were easily explored, and hundreds OF
baskets and bags OF the shells were
raked out and taken to the homes of the
finders, where they were carefully
opened. Many Of them contained the
coveted gems; some being of greater and
some OF less value.
Tho most successful hunters were the
Swedes and Scandinavians, who knew
just where TO look for the shells. Exor-
bitant prices were demanded for tho
gems by most hunters and AZ u result

One New York Woman Gets Gowns Cast

It is not generally supposed that any
society woman in New York arrays her.
self in anybody's old clothes, but few
of them have done so, and been proud
enough of the fact to tell about it.,
though it does not seem to have reached
the ears of those gifted and imaginative
writer's for some of the papers whose
vivid descriptions OF the petticoats and
nightgowns of society leaders whom
they do not hesitate to specify, would
seem to indicate remarkable intimacy
in the boudoirs of those ladies. But
there are women of abundant wealth
and refined taste who wear secondhand
clothes, though they do not go down to
Blocker street to buy the gorgeous
satins and cottony velvets which hang
at the doors Of the old clothes shops in
such tempting magnifcence.
No, the possession of the cast-offs i'm
plies voyage across the sea, and stamps
the owner at once as woman of means
and opportunities. For they are the
once or twice-worn tenets Of royalty,
and are only to be obtained by the for
tunate few who can get in to the annual
sale Of costumes of Queen Margherita
of Italy. And it by no means follows
that because they are second hand they
are cheap. The modern Kings and
Queens appear to have degenerated
from the lavishness of splendor attrib-
uted to old time sovereigns and to have
q thrifty satisfaction in turning an
honest penny.
Queen Margherita is beautiful
woman, and is said to be one of the best
dressed in Europe. The exigencies of
court life, with its brilliant pageants
and ceremonials, require a great many
splendid toilets in the course of the
year, as the same one can only figure at
two or three of these grand functions.
Nor can it be supposed that any pretty
woman neglects to live up to her oppor-
tunities and to fulfill these require
ments. So at the end of the year the
of scarcely worn fine
gowns is sold to the highest bidders by
a court chamberlain or some other royal

Combat During tho Riot.
A mutiny of an extraordinary char.
acter took place recently at the Bicetre
Lunatic Asylum, which was only put
| Down by the arrival Of the soldiery.
Some Of the dangerous lunatics had APP
peared moro excited than usual, owing
to tho sultry weather. and ono of them,
an athlete Of great strength, named
Jolly, succeeded in breaking out of his
sell. Having opened the cell of four
teen of his companions, all of them
made rush at the keepers, who were
walking up and down on guard. The
lunatics then laid siege to the nearest
rooms, and broke windows, chairs, tables
and every thing else on which they
could lay their hands. Afterward they
went up to the keepers sleeping-places,
and, seizing all the razors, hammers
and other dangerous instruments which
they could find, redescended into the
quadrangle, and began shouting out that
they intended to kill everybody who
should interfere with them. One Of the
keepers-a M. Petit-received blow
from the leg of table, which broke
his arm, but his colleague succeeded
eventually, at the risk Of their
lives, in cutting off the retreat of the
madmen by shutting them up in the
quadrangle. The Governor, M. Pinon,
now interviewed, and tried by soft words
to quiet the rioters; but he was threat
ened by Jolly, who said that he would
spare his life If he went down on his
knees and begged pardon of all the in
mates. AS NJ Pinon refused to do this,
Jolly hurled a flower-pot full of earth at
him, but keeper threw himself before
the Governor, and received the pot and
its contents on his chest. The Governor
and his men then withdrew, and sent
for the police and troops The Inspector
of Police, who arrived first, found the
madmen straddling across wall, where
they were brandishing their razors and
subiecting part of the asylum to a bonn
bardment of rubbish, stones and bricks.
Jolly, when called upon to surrender,
cried out: 'We are outside the law; we
are madmen, and you can't do any
thingw When twenty-four soldiers,
with fixed bayonets, arrived from the
Bicetre fort the lunatics became more
exasperated, whereupon the keepers
turned upon the hose and gave the
few shower baths. This was
followed by volley of blank cartridges,
which effectually frightened them.
They descended from their wall, and
allowed themselves to be handcuffed.
After that the most obstreperous were
put into strait-waistcoats. Four of the |
keepers were placed hors de combat

pounds in bank notes, belonging to one |
