Famous Pearls.
From the chIeago record

From the Chicago Record.
1t is not generally appreciated that there
are enormous fortunes in single pearls
and that a few individuals and great po-
tentates have jewels of this sort which
are literally worth a kings ransom. In all
the world there is no more famous pearl
than the Tavenier now in the possession
of the Shah of Persia. This remarkable
gem came to this eastern king by descent
and is genuinely remarkable curiosity.
1t derives its name from having been
sold by the traveller Tavenier 30 years
ago to the then ruler of Persia. The price

especially valuable. black ones bringing

Queen Victoria of England has a neck
lace of pink pearls that IS worth $50. 600
and the Dowager Empress of Germany
one made of thrty-two pearls that would
bring easily $4,000. The Rothschild wo-
men have, however, gems of this sort
that far exceed in value those Of royalty.
Baroness Gustave de Rothschild pos
sesses one made up of five rows of pearls,
the whole chain being valued at 100000.
Even more brilliant, because II has seven
rows, is the necklace Of the Dowager

are not quite as fine as those in the
Rothschild collection. The casket OF this

Austria, whose black pearls are noted
throughout Europe for their extreme

The experience of the reporter who

rope ladder was thrown over the side, and
the reporter invited aboard. He succeeded
IN boarding the snip AFTER ne had lost
several important articles Of apparel
When the Tribune man was at last safely
on board, it was discovered that the skip
per was ashore. but the first mate. Mr.
ScElaikicr, spun a yarn that was fully
worthy of the skipper. The yarn, which
was encrustcd with all the salt Of the sea,
was as follows:
ION the seventh we had the wind from
the northwest. but the following day the
wind shifted TO the northeast, and there
was the devil TO pay. Early In the morn

whale dead ahead. and he thought there
were about twenty I'm the school. This was
I'm latitude SAL, longitude iL34, just south
east of Hatteras, and the lookout, who
was an old whaler. thought nothing of the
matter.

the officers had tumbled ON deck the Am

athans The whole school appeared to be
asleep asserted the mate, because they
lay so naturally on the water.
I'VE were running against northeast
erly wind. and all of a sudden we struck
big, ninety-foot whale about amidship,
As soon as we struck her the blood flew
from the bowsprit TO the bridge and the
blood which she spouted as he went down
colored rigging and ship as far aft as
amidship. The whale. as soon as she was
struck. swung TO starboard and was never
seen again. Just ahaft of the big ninety
footer was a seventy-foot whale, and as
the boat approached the whale 'huked'
and saved her skin. The whale school
then disappeared and were lost to view.
Both captain and mate are sorry that
they were not whalers. for sperm whale
would have enriched an Alaskan.

IN THE WRONG ROOM.
Embarrassing Result oS an Evening
spent in n Paris Cafe.
From the Pail Mall Magazine.

From the Pail Mall Magazine.
An amusing story is related in Paris Of
the adventure of a gentleman who had
spent a pleasant evening at a cafe with
some friends. He returned home on a BIZ
cycle, and was so unfortunate as to sus-
tain several falls on the way. Nor was
he more lucky when he reached the house
in which he dwelt. Mistaking the moor
on which his rooms are situated, ne rang
repeatedly at the door of an apartment
occupied by the widow of an admiral
who was at the present. moment away
from town.
AS no one responded to the summons
he finally effected an entrance by break
ing open the door, and while cropping
about in search Of matches he coniriyed
to upset a number of tables and chairs,
as well as a couple of valuable Sevres
vases. At last he reached the bedroom,
and, as he felt much fatigued by his ride
on the bicycle and 'by his wanderings
through the apartment he dispensed with
the operation Of divesting himself OF his
garments and, throwing himself on the
bed, was soon locked in slumber His
awakening, however, was the reverse OF
agreeable, for on opening his eyes after
a rough shaking he beheld his concierge,
Ranked by two policemen, who perempto-
rily inquired what he was doing in the
apartment OF the admral's widow.
Then he was compelled TO take turn
round the rooms when the havoc that
he had wrought In his search Tor the
match box was revealed to his bewnder-
ed vision. The concierge. however, like a
good Samaritan, spoke kind word Tor
his tenant, and the police, who had been
summoned under the impression that a
gang of burglars had broken into the
apartment, obligingly vacated the premi-
ses. A message from the concierge to the
admiraPs widow was promptly followed
by one from the unconscious intruder into
her domicile, containing fun apology
and a promise to make up for all the
damage that had been done. The hero
OF this adventure is described as an Eng
iishman who Is a member of several tenn
perance societies. but both definitions
may be received with equal reservation.
