No; not as rule. Sometimes it may be

The Lustrous Peal.

From the Tacoma Leader.
Pearls, as most readers know, are small bodies
found either In the mother.of-pearl shells or
those with nacreous lining. They are formed
either by disease. by the presence of a para
site or by an effort on the part of the mollusk
to rid itself OF some foreign substance which
has found its way into the shell. Pearls are
composed of many layers of carbonate of lime
with organic matter between. and are always
entirely pearly throughout and invariably have
some small central core or nucleus. Round
pearls OF a. fine luster and color are very val
liable, aud their value increases rapidly with
their size. The finest white pearls are from
India. the Persian gulf and Panama; the finest
black and gray pearls from the coast of Lower
California. Beautiful pink and red pearls are
often secreted by the common creek mussels.
One valued at over $4,000 was found near Pat
erson. n. j.. in 1856, and quite a number have
been met with in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Texas and also in England, Scotland and
Germany.

SOME ARCHITECTS OFFICES.

As a rule architects in this city look upon
their offices as purely places for business, and
in furnishing them they have regard for utility
rather than artistic effect. Recently, however.
some members Of the profession have moved
to indicate to a greater or less extent in the
decoration and arrangements some degree of
that artistic sense with which they tickle the
fancy of their clients in making designs for
residences and buildings. Messrs. Hornblower
and Marshall, for example. in the new
suite of offices which they now &C.
cupy, have departed somewhat from
the strictly utilitarian idea The walls
are decorated in soft shades and in the mantels
and wood finish there is an indication OF the
colonial style in the simple lines and graceful
curves which gives a pleasing expression and
effect The main room in the Office of Harvey
L. Page carries out the idea of the wide hospi-
table central ball which is found In old-fash-
toned country houscs. There is a roomy old fire-
place OF brick and the rough-6nished walls are
decorated in q subdued tone Of brown. There
is cornice Of wood and the chair rail is wide,
suggestinga convenient place to lay a book or
pipe or any other article that Is wanted near at
hand. A partition of wood filed in with curtains
shuts on the room where the work In done
The Office Of W. j. Marsh might be an artists
studio, only instead Of the easel there are the
tables holding the draughting boards The
walls are covered with . heavy paper studded
with brass nails, and the woodwork ID painted
In coiors to harmonic with the artistic shade
Of the walls An open fireplace is generally
made attractive with the cheerful glow Of .
wood nre. There are other architects who
have attractive Offices. but only the recent
changes have been noted above.

A MoNEY-sAvINd DEVICE.

An ingenious device recently introduced
makes it possible to use large panes of plate
reduced outlay. A large pane, of course has a
better appearance than one Of smaller size.
but it costs more money. By using a slight
beading of metal in the center Of the sash two
small panes can be inserted and will have prac-
beading can be given light color, and when
the window shades are up it looks as if the
cord used to shift the shade was dangling
down.
