Your season is at its height,
but the manufacturers and
wholesalers season is over.
They had to get rid of their
summer stock, no matter how
attractive or how much they
sacrificed. A store with clean
stock and free hands has
better chances to buy the
finest goods below the cost
of manufacture. One stores
goods bythemselVes tell only
half the story; what are those
goods like in other stores F.?
A stock of Honey Comb
quilts means interest added
if they are rot sold until fall.
It's your chance T. w to buy
them cheap. Quilts are good
things to keep. White Pen

bow tints ON the same principle as
Newtor's rings and soap-bubbles. The
usual source of pearls found within
the oyster appears to be the intrusion
of some small foreign body, which sets
up an irritation of the cuticle. The
only means of defence open to the
mollusc is to deposite layer Of nacre
round the irritating particle, and thus
cut it off from the soft, tender skin. A
grain of sand, small crustacean, or a
diatom may slip in between the lips,
and, setting up irritation, provoke the
cutlcle to deposit around it series of
thin films Of nacre. These are added to
from time to time like the skins of an
onion, until ultim ately the little nucleus
is completely encysted and pearl is the
result. In this way many curious
deposits are to be seen in mother. of.pearl,
for the oyster applies the same remedy
to all sorts of foreign bodies, of what
ever character they may be. Thus
Professor Stewart has even seen little
fish embedded In the nacre. The Chinese
with their ingenious habit of turning
natural phenomena to account, have
taken advantage of this to artifcially
excite the growth of pearls in oysters.
A favorite device is to insert an H.
shaped piece of wire into the mantle
border, by means of which ordinary
pearl-shaped pearls are produced. But
the process is not confined to producing
ordinary pearls. Large objects are in
serted and coated with nacre, especially
metal figures of Buddha, which yield
much priced copies in pearl of that
divinity, generally used as charms
