The Shell of the Pearl oyster.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in 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 $40 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over 81 800 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-

Rare American Coins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated
the difficulty of making complete col
lection of American specimens. The
United States coinage of 1893 is very rare
and dollar of the year 1894 has often
sold for as much as 500. A 1896 half
cent is so rare as to sell readily for s15,
and half dollar of the same year is
worth 60 times its original value. While
the half cent of 1904 is common enough,
all the other coins of that year are rare,
the dollar of that particular date being
the rarest of all American coins. Only
eight are known to exist out of the
1880 that We're coined. The lowest
price that one of these now changes
hands, for is $S00.-London News.

THE CHINESE SCHOOLS.

The Christmas festival of the
Chinese schools held in the church
on Saturday evening was a very
elaborate and interesting affair.
Visitors Of all nationalities were
delighted with the exercises of the
children, and the songs from the
choir. The young Chinese organist
deserves great credit for the mat
terly way in which he presided at
the organ. The scholars showed,
in the clearness of their enuciation,
how admirable and faithfully had
been the drilling, which has
brought the various classes, num-
bering nearly two hundred, to the
perfection Of order and achieve
ment which marked all the exer-
cises of the evening. The kinder
garten class was especially well
drilled. and well behaved. The
Christmas tree was a very large
one /; but the gospel bell" of ferns
and roses, as it was rung by the
kindergarten class, was a new fea-
ture, and very striking one. The
steady growth, year by year, of this
Chinese work under the superinten-
dence of Mr.. F. w. Damon, is a
most hopeful augury of what may
be expected from our Chinese res
idents in the near future. Mr..
Bacon, the efficient principal of
the school, is ably seconded by his
six assistant teachers.

charge of the services, which con-

intendent, distributed the gifts, as

JAPANEsE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The Japanese Sunday School in
Queen Emma Hall, at it's enter
tainment on Christmas night, gave
special prominence to the kinder
garten children, whose Rotations
and motion songs and choruses,
under the leadership of Miss Kin
taro, their teacher, showed an apt
ness and proficiency in the use of
English, as well as Japanese, which
was surprise and delight to the
crowd of visitors present. The
decorations of the hall were very
fine. The addition of red pepper
buds to the usual lettering in ferns
was especially noticeable. The
Christmas tree in one corner was
loaded with toys and candies for
the little ones. Mr.. F. w. Damon
impersonated Santa Claus in a
dress of 'gossypium tomentosum,"
which, in its sticking qualities, was
very much like wet snow. The
Japanese names glided off from his
tongue as smoothly as sleigh run
ners over New England's winter
roads. There was host of visitors,
and japanese hospitality provided
some gift for every one of their
numerous guests.

WORLDS FAIR, CHICAGO. July T.
The arrival of the Spanish caravels at
Jackson park today was a source Of
great interest to the visitors and was
the cause of attracting an unusually
large attendance at the fair today. The
weather was perfect, and hours before
the most sanguine could have expected
the carayels to arrive the vantage points
on the beach and piers were crowded
with spectators awaiting to welcome the
strange messengers from over the sea.
Interest centered upon the Santa Maria,
as she Is now not only the llrgest OF the
collection, but she is the only one that
is completely fitted up and finished to
resemble, inside as well as out the
original type. Director-General Davis
received Capt. Concas and his men and
presented them to the public amid wild
cheering. Senator John Sherman then
delivered the address of welcome. Capt.
Concas responded briefly and Secretary
Of the Navy Herbert and others also
made brief addresses.

ly. An inquiry has been instituted by

a speech proclaiming his innocence. but
it is said that he afterward made a par

The mob boarded a train at Wick
life and brought the prisoner to this
city. arriving at 1870 O'Clock. There
was not less than 5000 men at the depot
and the train. consisting Of eight
coaches. was crowded.
Previous to this time an agreement
was made by the people TO allow the
father Of the children TO prescribe the
punishment, but when the train arrived
It seemed that the men forgot their
promise for the time. They rushed TO
'he train. one over another. and at one
zine it was thought by a great many
that the negro was being torn limb from
limb. At last quiet was restored and all
went to a very high scaffoHd constructed

prisoner, and a number of the guards
mounted the stand.

said:

The negro was called upon to make a
talk. and responded promptly and with
WOuueiLua nerve NOH9iuciAlS the ClL-
cumstances under which he was placed.
His voice was clear and he seemed al
most oblivious TO the surroundings. His
exact words were as follows:

am not guilty"
At this time he was disturbed by sew
eral questions and many called him to
go on. but Sheriff Hutson begged to be
permitted to put him in Jail and get
some rest for himself. which he needed
so badly.
At this time Mr. Ray, the father of
the children, appeared on the scene and
talked only a few moments, carrying on
a conversation with several persons on
the ground. Mr.. Ray repeated the
charge against the negro and said he
