THE PEARI IN THE OYSTER.
Its Discovery Brings Out Some Interest
ing inflammation.

Its Discovery Brings Out Some Interest
ing Information.
A party of young people were seated
at q table in ono of the leading cafes
of Detroit eating Baltimore oysters on
the she'll Suddenly one of the com
pany rolled something under her
tongue which was foreign to the feast,
and which on investigation proved to
be q large oyster pearl
1T is of no Value said the young
woman's escorti but she did not take
hat view of it, and the next day had
it appraised at a jewelers..
"If you send it to Blank & Co., New
York, they will give you $50 for it. as
they make q speciality Of oyster pearls,
and this is absolutely fiawiess."
The young woman has serious
thoughts of going into the oyster busi-
ness aud she andrher friends have de-
veloped a sudden fancy for raw oys-
ters. It is quite possible that hereafter
more oysters than usual will be eaten
from the shell, as cooking the bivalve
destroys many a fine pearl. 1t may be
news to the non-eating oyster COM
munity to know that a large number
of fine pearls are annually obtained
from our American oysters.
How many oysters are eaten in a sea-
son in the United States? Well, here
is al estimate as recently reported by
the fish commission, and 1t can be
taken as a fair average. 1t will be
seen hat the bivalve is the object of
commercial fishery in every coast state
excepting Maine and New Hampshire.
where the quantity produced Is not of
enough consequence, owing to the
GOODNESS of the water, to pay for en-
larged operations. The statistics in
qaestion are these:

A COSTLY PERFUME.
The Uses Of AmbergrIs and the Mode of
Obtaining IT.


The Uses Of Ambergris and the Mode Of
Obtaining 1t.
And to what use is ambcrgris put?
It is en- Indispensable article with fine
perfumes, as it is used to give per-
mansncy and lasting quality to very
heeting scents. It is a curious fact
that the keynote OF basis of "nose-
gays" or Bouquets" as kerchief
odors are called, is not. as one might
suppose, the altar of garden flowers
nor the penetrating balsams-these are
Indispensable, but are not the ground
work. That basis is always one OF
the four animal odors, !. e., ambergris,
musk, obtained from small musk deer
In Asia, civet, from the civet cat, of
India, and castor, a secretion of the
castor beaver, and now almost cbso-
lete in the perfume trade. The pure
md separate tinctures of any of these
odors is too intense and powerful to
be tolerated. Like all substances of
these kinds, they must undergo a slow
decomposition till the remainder pos
sesses very little volatility. Even then
they contain a virtue which clings per-
t~inaciously to woven fabrics, and not
being solubles in weak, alkaline lyes, is
still to be detected in the material after
passing through the lavatory ordeal
They are, therefore, of great value to
the perfumer, n are the essential
foundation in almost every formula.
The ssence of ambergris is obtained
by mixing three ounces of it with one
gallon OF pure alcohol, and not till
after a month is it ready for use. This.
however, Is only kept for mixing, and
Is far too strong. Only when it has
entered in minute proportion into the
bouquet does it produce those agree
able and characteristic perfumes, the
effect of which upon the nerves of the
sensitive nose Is much like the happy
sensation produced by harmonious
musical chords on the delicate ear, or
the perfect blending of colors to the ed
ucated eye.
AS ambergris is the most costly of
the basic perfumes, the bouquets con-
tanning it are the most expensive kinds.

In one establishment located near
the mouth of the Potomac 1000 gallons
of oysters are shipped daily. AS many
as 200 schooners, vessels and dredging
boats are anchored around the place,
unloading their cargoes. The oysters
are shipped in bulk TO every state in

cans, packed in ice and sawdust. 1t has

us brought up in the country know
what is called "a raising" the neigh
bors gathered together to lift the
heavy frame for a new house, after the
timbers are ready to be put into their
places. 1t is dangerous work, and there
are many accidents. The neighbors
had gathered for. such a raising and
the beams had all been fitted to their
places except one, and that very heavy.
That one, on the long pixies of the
men, had almost reached it's place,
when something went wrong, and the
men could hoist it no higher. But if
it did not go in it's place it would fall
back upon the men who were lifting
it. 1t had already begun to settle
back. The boss carpenter shouted:
rLift men or diei All togetherl Yo-
heavep' With mightier push they
tried to send the beam to its place, but
failed.
Still they held on, all the time their
strength l%essening. The wives and
mothers and daughters stood in horror
looking on. Then the boss carpenter
shouted to the m Come and
help!' They came, INC womanly arms
became the arms of giants, for they
were lifting to save the lives of hus-
bands and fathers and sons, as well as
their OWL. Then the boss carpenter
mounted one of the beams and shout
ed: "Nowl All togetherl Lift, or
diei Yo-heavel' And with a united
effort hat almost burst the blood
vessels, the great beam went TO
it's place and a wild huzza was
heard. That is the way it sometimes
seems in the churches. Temples of right.

Is a halt, stop, a catch, somewhere. A

The top stone must come to its place,

A Headache Plaster.

When the beating, humping sensa.
ton begins in the head take equal
quantities OF pure cayenne pepper and
-four; mix them up with water to form
a smooth paste thick enough to spread
like a salve. Put this upon a
piece of soft paper and apply it
to the back of the neck just
below the edge of the hair. In warm
weather it is best to wash the neck
with a cloth wet with soap and water,
as the oily pe~rspiration may interfere
with the action Of the plaster. One
great advantage of cayenne pepper
plaster over mustard is hat while the
latter frequently blisters the latter
never does SO, no matter how strong it
is applied. In the use of mustard, If
the skin is broken all treatment must
cease until it heals; but with peppe
when the plaster loses it's effect an.
other may be applied without unpleas-
n consequences. - Cincinnati En-

strange thing about it is that one big

AS to the cane plants themselves, we
cannot irrigate them at will, and so
bring them to the perfection that is
gained in Peru. Stiltthey do well, and
in some gullies, where the surface soil
is washed down from the surrounding
higher ground, the canes hav not been
replanted within living memory.
Again, other large estates always need
TO be fresh planted after the second
cut.
A great pest of the cane fields here is
a plant called cow-itcE. That is some

Two Literary Coincidences.

In recent after dinner speech Rider
Haggard mentioned two old literary CO.
medicines that had occurred i'll connec-
ton with his works.
One of these concerned his invention
of an incident ON the Tana river, where
a mission station was attacked by the
Nasal and the mission people were
killed. Strange to say, after his imagi-
nary account had appeared, some mis-
sionaries did found a station on that
river, were attacked by the Nasal and
some of them were killed.
In his book, 1.-THE People of the
MIST he had fixed upon an unknown
part of Africa aud had described re-
gion from his inner consciousness, and
only week before the speech was made
a company, in which the author is di-
rector, had sent out orders to take pos
session of the very tract he had in
view, and so far as the reports of the
native agents who had inspected it went
he believed his descriptions were fairly
correct
