The most important marine pearl fishery
in America is carried on in the Gulf of
California, where the true pearl oysters are
plentifully found Recently the fisheries
have been let by franchise from the Mexi
can government to company in San Fran
cisco. The beds were first discovered 300
years ago by fernando Cortez when he dis
covered Lower California He took posses
sion of them and sent q number OF fine
pearls to the king of Spain. Divers gather
the oysters and a strict police system is
maintained to guard against theft.
After the bivalves have been opened and
any precious contents removed the shells
themselves are cleaned and sent to Liver.
pool, London and Hamburg, where they
sell at from ten to twenty cents pound.
The pearls from this fishery at one time
brought from sl50,000 to 100000 a year,
but the beds have been SO oyerworked that
their value has been much diminished.
An enormous pearl, the pride of the
Spanish regalia, weighing 400 grains, was
secured there, as we'll as hundreds of other
beauties of great value. Washington Star

Here is, briefly, what Napoleon said in
response to the question what or when
had been the very happiest moment OF bis
life:
1t was not when he had attained to the
consulship, nor was it when he was pro
claimed emperor and crowned with the
most brilliant and imposing ceremonies
and the most gratifying donors ever be
slowed upon sovereign. Nor was 1t ut
either of his marriages, nor at the birth OF
his son, the king of Rome, the long de
sired heir to his thro9e and the supposed
perpetuation Of his dynasty TWAS earlet
in his life than any of these events had oc
Cured. 1t was when, ut the age Of TWEEN
ty-iive, as the victorious commander OF
the army in Italy, he heard the shout o
jov from the people in praise aud honor o
him their liberator.
/ Napoleon's highest happiness WAS in the
Joy he experienced in bringing happiness
to others-and before the gall OF selfish
ness had imbittered his future career o
! greatness. Detroit Free Press.

Remedies for Insect Bites.

For bites of insects, attended with Itch
ing, the best remedy is menthol in alcohol,
one dram of the former to one ounce OF
the latter. This speedily allays the irrita-
ton, and few applications only are needed
to effect a complete cure, but it should not
be used where the skin has been broken, as
by scratching The remedy then is the
oxide of zinc ointment, in an ounce OF
which the apothecary should rub up ten
grains of carbolic acid Exchange.
