RARE BLACK PEARLS.
Some q the Most Valuable Como from
California.

Some q the Most Valuable Come from
California.
It is on record that the most valuable
collection of black pearls in the world
is owned by the empress of Austria
A black pearl necklace worn lately by
noble English lady at a grand enter
tainment was estimated to be worth
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars, and there was but a single row
of gems.
AT the present time black pearls COM
mand exorbitant prices. Some very
valuable ones are found in Lower Cali
fornia; such specimens are rare and
costly. Next to these in estimation ore
deep blue pearls, and seldom is it that
such can be obtained at any price.
-. The story runs that a valuable col
lection of pearls was at one time found
in the river Conway, in North Wales,
and among them, as is gravely chron-
icled, was n stool pearl, in form and size
resembling button mold, and weigh
ing seventeen grains. It is added that
gentleman named Wynn was the
happy owner, To emphasize this ac-
count it is further stated that Conway
pearl is to this day part and parcel, so
to speak, of the royal crown of Eng
land, having been presented to the
queen of Charles II. by her chamber
lain, a gentleman also answering TO the

Some Yankee Terms.

How many people, asks the Boston
Transcript, have heard the verb to
strawn (VermonN or to STRAIN (Nan-
tucket), meaning to wander about
aimlessly? Could the phrase II don't
guess it's SO" be properly attributed
to a genuine Yankee, speaking the
rustic speech?
A Yankee says 81 reckon" only less
often than he says 81 guess. Is this
as ancient a use with him as Il
guess" or did he somehow pick it up
from the Southerners?
Are doughnuts called simballs else
where than in Weymouth, bingham
and few other towns in Southwest
ern Massachusetts?
How far west or north must one
go before doughnut becomes nut
cake" and how much further west
before it becomes "friedcake?"
What is the origin of the former
New England term, now almost OBJ
solete, of "dodunk" for a stupid, sim
pie person? The word is often found
in Mr.. Rowland E. Robinson's Yer
mont stories-which, by the way, are
the best Vermont dialect yet put in
print.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of q perfect lax
alive; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Doc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

CHAPTER Nv.
THE PLAN OUTLINED,

After the boat had been gone few
seconds, Captain Fox named the officers
he expected to accompany him ashore
that night, and then told them to report
at once in his cabin.
Gentlemen, he said, when the off,
GERS were gathered about the table, from
which Don, the cabin boy, had removed
the flagons and glasses, this is a night
to test each mans power OF self-con-
troll. l shall expect you all to drink, or
to seem to do so; but the man who be-
comes drunken must take the conse-
quences. / cannot forget that at Merl-
da, Cartagena and Para, some Of you
so far forgot yourselves as to get drunk
and bring on fights with the natives,
who drove you to your boats, and who
In their Just anger, would have seized
our ship had l not turned the guns on
them. We cannot avail ourselves of
such q remedy here. Each man must
appear to be what the people believe US,
officers and gentlemen In the service Of
England. At one o'clock / shall expect
you to be on board; in the meantime re-
member-sealed lips and open orders.
Captain Fox waved his right hand,
and the officers, Frenauld excepted,
withdrew.
"Ha, Frenauld," said the Captain,
when he and his chief executive officer
had the cabin to themselves; as Of old
