The shell of the Pearl Oyster.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster Is not III any way like the
oysters which we eat. 1t is of an en-
tirely different species and as a matter
of fact the shells of the so called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California. and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa
tiers. In 1881 one pearl-a black one
was sold for so 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over s.. 800 each. But such finds"
are very rare, and as rule the pearls
which are brought up are of very little
value. The shells, however, are very
valuable. Most of them are shipped to
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments. knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds of other articles for
which mother of pearl is used.-Har-

Lichtninc's Strange Selection.

Probably one of the most remarkable
lightning accidents of the period was
that which took place in one of the east
ern counties lately. A man was shear
ing a sheep Another man, passing on a
pony, stopped to exchange a few words
with the shearer and watch the clipping
operation for minute or two. He had
been standing there but very short
time when a sharp crack of thunder was
preceded by a binding fash of lightning
The shearer was startled almost ont of
his senses by seeing the pony and its
rider suddenly collapse in heap, but in
a second the man was up. quite unhurt.
Then the shepherd, happening to glance
at the animal beneath him, found that
the lightning had served it as it had
served the pony. Tie sheep was stone
dead! This. it may be as well to state.
is perfectly true story.-London Tit

THE Massachusetts republicans in
convention had more wisdom and
manliness than the New York repub-
licans. They did not ignore the is
sue which now towers above every
other in Importance. They not only
had the courage to say: I'VE favor
the unconditional repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the silver act" but
they said further: I'VE heartily
commend the patriotic course taken
by the republicans in both branches
OF congress who laid aside party feel
ing. have done all to their power to
hasten action, and in strict consis-
tency with the history and work of
the party to which they belong have
been the unflinching defenders Of
sound finance and honest money
That i commentator with discrim-
nation. 1t can be appropriated only
by those republicans whose course
merits it. At this particular crisis
it is timely rebuke of Stewart, Tel
Ter, Cameron, Wolcott and their as
sociates, and of any republican dis
position to compromise on the ques-
tion of repeal.

county farm is a state institution,
and that complainants must look to
the state.
The plaintiff holds that the coun.

the convicts and gets the benefits

for the torturous acts of it's EN-.

The matter will not rest here.

Did They Sleep Together :

A gentleman from near Marlin,
who owns several farms, told THE
News reporter today that the farm.
ers in his section knew exactly how
to manage the cotton seed buyers
in order to get the highest prices
The buyers in Waco, he thinks,
slept together last night. Prices
of seed ran up the first of the week,
but today nobody offers more than
SIS and everybody is offering the
same price. A good many express
the determination to hold their
seed for better prices than can be
now obtained. But a little com
bining together, little sleeping
together, as the man put it, can
soon block any such scheme-at
least this is what some people think.
