Buffalo Express.
A pae-saced balf-staryed boy came into a
Man-street restaurant about 1880 O'Clock last
night. HI carried few papers under his arm.
He looked cold. His shoes were out at the
toes and his stockings had holes in both knees.

the door for moment, as If undecided what to

and said: please, mum, kin see il ennybody

the little fellow spoke again: please. num-
lemme. Me ladder won't let me cum home Till

There were tears In his voice ana the cashier
relented. She gave him penny and bought a
paper herself ana then told him to go to the
tables II he wished.
The little fellow took off his hat and tucked
it under his arm. He walked down between
The tables and said In weak little voice:
..Popers! Ennybody want Z buy polper?"
There were not many responses TO this appeal
and he began personal canvass. Stopping at
a table where middle-aged man and his wife
were eating he said; "f III, sir, wonchu
sell ali desc. an dey amt no chanst on de
street. Please. sir, buy one, woncDu?"
Buy a paper. john" said the woman. and
the man gave the boy 10 cents and took one OF
the little bundle.
Then he went to the next table and the next

his tale of woe so wrll that before he had
reached the end OF the room ne had sold every
one. He had a handful of small change and he
pulled his cap en- his head and started for the
door on a run.
"What pity 1t Is" said the middle-aged
woman, 'rhat fathers are so brutal and that
such small children have TO toll so hard to sup

The small boy bolted out Of the door and

Company and the private firms interested
In the fishing always reckon Cd receiving
the same amount per ton for pearls as they
do for the shells Thus $3.50 for a ton If
shells would mean $3.50 for the pearls

the shape of one pearl or of half a Dozen
OF course, it must be remembered, this is
the average, for ofttimes months pass and
no pearls are found; then a lucky week

Having devoted so much time and
thoughts TO this plan OF artificially propa-

porter veniured TO inquire.
WELL" was the answer given thought
fully, son that, too, | have my own and a
very decided opinion. l believe the
precious and much desired pearl is simply
the result of superabundance of the
food supply. ], like every one else who
has paid any attentio to the subject, have
noticed that pearls are found more bounti-
fully in some months than others, and
these months coincide with the time when
the rains set in and the torrent streams
dilute the salt waters of the Gulf. AT
surh times the infusoria, etc. upon which
the oysters feed are increased"
But is it not true that In some parts OF
the world foreign substances have been
introduced between the shells and in time
pearls have been found"
Yes, the Chinese are said to place a
grain of sand between the shells. and il
proves such a source of irritation that to
relieve itself the oyster covers it with a
smooth secretion. At least that is the
theory. but.many a time l have asked the
jewelers. in Mexico and at Panama if in
boring small pearls they ever came across
any foreign substance. Without any ex-
ception the answer has been in the mega

oysters get rid of foreign substances that
may chance to annoy them in some other
way than that you have mentioned"

Florence His dog was for some reason
intrusted to the care Of porter at the sta

and under the unusual experience Of being
separated from his master, who generally
kept the animal with him, Bruno was
moved to make his escape.
The most careful search was made, and
before going to his hotel the traveller went
to the police station to notify the gems
d'armes Of his loss, II was more than an
hour before he reached his hotel. When
be got there he spoke Of his loss, so that If
anything was heard Of the dog it would be
understood that the animal belonged to
him. 10 his astonishment theporter said:
"But your dog is here, sir He came
before you, and we did not know TO whom
he belonged"
