The most freakish freak ever assumed
by pearls IS exhibited In that cxtraord;-
nary curiosity known TO the gem fancicrs
as tho Southern Cross Taken as a
whole IL Is n group Of nine pearls grown
together In such q manner as to form q
perfect Latin cross. Seven of the nine go
TO form the upright OF tine cross, or main
shaft, which Is exactly rs inches in
length. The arms Of the cross, which, IL
must be admitted, arc hardly long enough
TO give the figure good proportions, are
each formed by one pearl SO arranged on
either side that the addition Of the tenth
Of an inch TO each would give elegant and
perfect symmetry TO the outline Of the
whole figure. There Is not an i'll shaped or
of colorcd pearl in the group, and, taken
as a whole, it Is not only remarkable
freak of nature, but II is also valuable
collection Of gems Of goodly size and fine
lustcr.
This wonderful freak was discovered
several years ago In the pearl fishing
grounds Of Western Australia by man
named Clark. He Is said 10 have been n
very supcrstitious man and 10 have regard
ed the symbol exhibited In his find rs an
i'll omen. On this account he dug n hole
and, after carefully wrapping tho oddity in
several folds Of silk. buried il. About 81
years ago, in 1874, the gem was inferred,
and since that time has changed hands
several times. The last time IL sold for n
sum equal to esq. 0OO.-St. Louis Republic

and was one Of my first eases.
lit was this way" continued the
lawyer rs he got comfortably settled
down. "A farmer had II horse stolen,
and the animal was followed for ten
miles and found under shed in the
suburbs Of the town where lived. At
the same time they found man in hid
ing. He refused To give any account of
himself, and when charged with being
the horse thief he did not deny it, Ii
was not until he was put ON trial in the
higher court that I was retained. He
stoutly declared his innocence and had
several men on hand To prove his good
character, but he wouldn't account for
his whereabouts on the night the horse
was stolen. / not only felt sure of his
guilt, but had no show to make for him
and wasn't disappointed when he was
convicted oifhand. As 10 the 'circum-
stantial' part. they proved that he knew
the horse and had said he felt tempted
TO steal il; also that he was seen that
evening within mile Of the farmers
barn. Horse hairs were found ON his
trousers legs. and he was in hiding
near the horse. Everything pointed to
his guilt. and the jury made quick work
Of him.
"And wasn't he guilty." asked one
Of the group.
"Not bit Of it. After he had been
sentenced for three years his wife came
to me and wanted me to advise him to
tell the truth. She knew it all the time.
He was out that night with two other
men to rob store. and they got away
with wagon load of goods. He was set
to watch. and while thus serving was
run into the shed by the men in pursuit
of the horse thief The latter got away
and the other was captured. To give his
gang time to get away he let himself be
taken to Jail and was ultimately tried,
convicted and sentenced. He had no
more to do with the horse than had. "
And what did you adviser"
His best interest, Of course He'd got
three years for stealing u horse, but if
he owned up to the store robbery he'd
get from 10 to Is. told him to shut
up. and the advice was so good that /
got $50 for il. Yes, circumstantial evil
danca sometimes couvirts an innocent
man, and if You are ever ON a jury it
will be well to remember this fact. -

A Lively Little Joke. but II Cost Him His

Steamship passengers frequently re-

Three years ago we were crossing the
Atlantic. and both the owners and my
self were exceedingly anxious to make

our company. On the third day out Just
about dusk the cry Of Man overheard

the drowning man. A half hour was
spent i'll cruising about without results,
and we started ON our journey under the
belief that the poor fellow had gone to
the bottom. The inquiry that followed
proved pulling No one was missing.
and we came TO the conclusion that a
stowaway had committed suicide.
THE next day, however, an explana-
ton came. We had u ventriloquist
aboard i'll the person Of - very smart
young man. who was too tickled over
the success Of his joke TO keep the secret.
Then the laugh was on him. AS he
had caused "a serious delay and much
annoyance l notified him that had
made an official entry of the circum-
stance on my log and the loss of time,
and that on approaching shore would
detain him until a sufficient guarantee
had been put up that he would answer

cial restitution. l talked Of $50, 200 be-

Not Complimentary to English Women
Alphonse Daudet was not exactly
complimentary in his references To Eng
lish women, of whom he met many in
his recent trip TO perfidious Albion.
mot only is the English woman not
handsome in features, he says. but
there is nothing seductive i'll her phys
zeal form, and, moreover, she is an ut
ter stranger TO elegance and good taste.
The English woman whom you encoun-
ter in Paris, with her fattened down
hair and huge feet. differs in no single
particular from the English lady of
rank whom you meet i'll salons, on the
turf and at the play. 1t gave me real
