FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS.

1hs Shah Of Persia Has Ono Delicate Cen
Worth Over HALF Million.
Il is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single
pearls, and that q few individuals and
great potentates have jewels of this sort
which are literally wor tn kings ran

famous pearl than the Tavernier, now In
the possession of the shah Of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east.
ern king by descent and is a genuinely
remarkable curiosity. It derives ita
name from having been sold by the trav-
eler Tavernier 800 years ago to the then
ruler Of Persia The price then was
$500, 000 II Is now worth more than
$3.50. 600
Another eastern king, the imam Of
Auscat, has in his collection pearl
worth e165, 900, weighing 12H carats
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess Yousoupoff 8 finest gem is won
derfully beautiful Valued at $3.50, 600,
It was first heard of In 1890, when Geor-
gibus of Calais sold it to Philip Nv Of
Spain. Eighty thousand dollars is the
figure that 1t is Appropriated the pope's
pearl would bring. One Of Leo's prede-
oessors became possessed of it in man
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended in regular course to the pres
emit incumbent Of st. Peters throne
This, so far as is known, exhausts the
List of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
after pearl betng added to the get, and
leading jewellers are constantly ON the
lookout to procure gems Of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria Of England
has necklace Of pin pearls that is
worth $50, 1000, and the dowager EN-.
press Of Germany one made of SO pearls
which would bring easily $125, 900.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems of this sort that far exceed
In value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tave de Rothschild possesses one made
up Of five rows Of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at $500, 900. Bar
mess Adolphe de Rothschild owns q
oirolet that in all probability would
fetch even at forced sale $3.50, 900.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace Of the dow
ager empress Of Russia The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket Of this royal lady is the most IA
NOUS in the world from gem point Of
view. Hardly second to it is that OF
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
Of the Empress Eugene, sold at the
close Of the Franco-Prussian war, has
never been made known. The value of
these was some $50, 900, and they were
gathered together in very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck Of that unfortunate queen. New

Their Education Should Not End with
Learning to Mount and Ride.
When the average young woman
learns to dismount without bruising
herself, and to mount without the as
sistance of a large body guard, she fond
ly imagines that her woes are at an end.
She does not foresee the repair shop;
her prophetic soul gives her no warning
of the punctured tire; the mantle of the
seer does not fall upon her, and she
has no hint of mornings spent in the
basement area cleaning her machine.
She does not guess that n course In
practical mechanics should be taught
at the cycling academy.
Every woman who intends to ride
should learn to adjust her saddle aud
the handle bars. Before she goes for d
ride she should test the saddle to see II
II is perfectly firm. II 1t is not she
should be able to tighten 1t. If she rides
at night she should see that her lamp Is
filled and trimmed, that its glass Is
clear, and that it is firmly fastened In
its place, so that no jolts or jars will dis

she must be provided either with match
es or an escort.
She must also learn the use OF the va
rious tools found in the tool box. She
may spend many pleasant hour In
cleaning and oiling her wheel. All the
parts which are the centers of revolu-

Do 1t Innocently, Because They Do Not

Women may be charming, wholly de-
roted to their homes and their hus
bands, and yet be so tactlcss, thought
less and oggravating as to drive hus-
bands to the extreme of misery. ANY
observant bachelor could recall the
number of instances of women who,
from mere want of tact and intelligence,
are almost driving their husbands mad
by getting on their nerves. They forget
that busy men require absolute braiu
rest, change of scene, change of sub.
ject. They forget that however wor-
rying the little affairs Of household
may be, the anxieties Of great business
upon which the whole family's present
and future depends are far greater. A
friend of mine, who is now nearly
millionaire, told me in confidence that
while he was sitting one night over hia
smoking-room fire wondering whether
he could next day possibly survive a ter
rible crisis which was hanging ever his
head and might lead to a disastrous
bankruptcy, with debts to the extent OF
G 100000 or so, his wife came whining
