PEARL FISHING.
A4@a.
How 1t Is Managed by the Proprie-
tors of the Concession.
From the San Francisco Call.

tors of the Concession.
From the San Francisco Call.
The agent of the English proprietors of
the concession granted by the Mexican
republic for a monopoly of pearl fishing in
the gulf of California recently arrived in
San Francisco and gave some interesting
details of the present methods employed in
their industry. which has continued ever
since the occupation of the country in
the time of Cortez.
The whole coast of the gulf of Califor-
MIA abounds in pearls, and the concessions
control the entire territory. Until within
the last few years native divers were en-
ployed, and the depth to which they could
descend did not exceed thirty-five feet.
With the introduction of diving appara-
tus the limit of depth was increased to
thirty fathoms. The best divers could
formerly remain under water not to ex-
coed two minutes. A modern diver thinks
nothing of a two-hour stop in water 100
feet in depth, though at greater depths
the stay is necessarily shortened on ac-
count of the enormous pressure of the su-
perincumbent water A diver when upon
the floor of the ocean looks about for the
oyster which he tears from the object to
which it is attached and places it in a
small bag hanging to a rope, which is
nduIed INTO the BOAT on a given signal
Sometimes the number of oysters secured
is large, at other times only a few are
caught.
The diver does not confne himself to the
pearl oysters alone, but IL he sees a rare
specimen of coral or new species of shell
he places it in his bag and sends it to the
surface, where 1t becomes the property of
the concession and the sources of its large
/, income.
n Last year the value of the pearls har-
vested in Lower California was alone $780,
600. In addition, 5000 tons of shells were
exported, which were valued at 81, 250, 900
more. Pearl fishing is the entire occupa-
ton of the natives and La Paz, the head
quarters, a city of the peninsula, with
about 1000 Inhabitants, is solely depend
ent upon the industry. The business is
one of chance, and the pursuit is a fasci-
mating one to the natives, who are born
gamblers.
Every oyster does not contain its pearl,
and only at intervals. and rare ones at
that, is really valuable pearl discovered.
The largest one ever found was about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and
was sold in Paris to the Emperor of Aus
tria for $4,000. Many black pearls are
found In Lower California, and are valued
higher than the pure white. The large ma
jority are seed pearls and are only of
moderate value.

ANGLO-sAXON MUSIC.
1t Is Claimed That AngIO-SaxOn Sec
uIar Music Was PIaintive.

uIaf music WINS
From the Westminster Review.
For the laity the Growth harp and pipe
were faovrite musical instruments The
tabor was used at Anglo-Saxon entertain
ments. but it was not so popular as these
three. Drums were occasionally used to
highten the effect. but they also do not
seem to have been in high favor. While
the pipe was a favorite instrument among
the lower classes, such as bear dancers and
exhibitors of dancing dogs, the harp, on
the other hand, was the instrument of the
nobility; all noble children were taught
to play on the harp. Thus the King of
Westnesse commands the harp for the
education Of his son; Teach him of the
harp and of song; teach him to tug o. the
harp with his nails sharp" Most famous
knights of King Arthur were taught
'harping." And we know that Alfred the
Great put his knowledge of the harp in
other than musical purposes. II IS also
worth noting that st. Aldeheim and 81
Dunstan were renowned as harpers. In
fact, a gentleman of AngloISaxon DAYS
was supposed to be able to play the harp
as a matter OF course, just as an Ameri-
can or English girl is supposed TO play
the piano.
A few specimens OF very early Anglo
Saxon music remain; as. for example. the
music TO the praise OF Virginity," and 10
other poems by st. Aldheim; but we can
not interpret their peculiar notation-it
Is decidedly imperfect and misleading. n

a yellow line, and singing marks or names
we're written between these lines, but the

considerable progress must have been
made. since the nation used the harm ana
organ, and this implied some knowledge
OF concordant sounds.
10 IL claimed that Anglo-saxon secular
music was plaintive. Doubtless this was
the case, for melancholy played consid-
cradle part in their moods The phlloso-
ply OF Schopenhauer has a national basis

rich deposits they possess a strong vein

ours. We believe however. that in both

Cr,dit For ra.aner,.

We have lately given some account Of
the operation Of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
The farming class by making it possible
1or 1t to secure loans on such security as
farmers can offer. The farmer is espe-
rtally in need Of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation Of the soil and the har-
yesting Of the crop. He must spend
money long time before he can get
my back. AS to most Of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on busi-
ness where the stock is turned over but
once year. Furthermore. as a crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period Of
T. few weeks, it is particularly impor-
tant to the farmer that he should not be
to realize on his harvests i'm
anediately. He would break the market

II While the farmer more than almost
NY other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
md real estate is not good security for
sAsdinary banks Of discount to take, and
atsis unlawful for our national banks to
'aocept it. The result is that the farmer

CUBA L1BRE.

The following extracts are taken from
an exhaustive article in the May number
Of the Review of Reviews, which in its
entirety gives complete story Of the
present direful situation on the island Of
Cuba. The extracts we give are only a
small part Of the whole story, but even
these tell an awful tale, and the imagina-
ton Of the reader can supply much more
from even these few words. The article
is written by Stephen Bonsal and is from
personal observation.
FREE CUBA"
For the purpose of clearness, in des-
cribing the military situation, the island
can be divided into two parts, where the
conditions presented are distinctly differ
ent. The Jncaro-Moro trocha, as it
serves no other purpose, we can utilize
as our divisional line. To the east of
this trocha lie the provinces Of Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba, which is
to-day to all intents and purposes Free
Cuba, Cuba Libre. Here the guajiros,
the small farmer class, have not been
driven into the towns to sicken, starve
and die. They still occupy their home
steads in the campo; and while they have
suffered from the military operations car
ried on in their vicinity, both at the hands
of the Spanish and Cuban forces, they
have in very great measure escaped
from the horrors which characterize this
inhuman war. Within the borders then
Of Free Cuba. which in extent is about
one-half Of the island, the Spaniards hold
some twelve or fifteen towns, which they
are pleased to call strategic points Of
great Importance. Bayamo, Jiguani and
Ho!guin are the only inland towns which
now occur to me as being in the posses
sion of the Spaniards. The other strate-
gic points are on the seacoast, openports
and roadsteads. from which it would be
easy to withdraw, The possession of
these three inland towns is at present the
chief drain upon the resources of the
Spaniards. And, as I believe I have
shown elsewhere, the withdrawal Of the
forces from these points by the military
authorities would be a stroke Of strategy
and a great misfortune to the insurgents
forces in the field. For it can be said
without fear of contradiction, that during
the last twelve months the army of Calix-
to Garcia has been almost exclusively
fed, clothed and armed with the stores
captured from the military conveys which
are weekly sent up from Manzanillo and
other points on the seacoast to revictual
these inland garrisons, which are con-
stantly besieged by the insurgent bands.

The Massachusetts Reform club Of
Boston has commenced a systematic
movement for practical currency reform.
Il has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten

gold, gold certificates and hank notes
shall gradually take their places. They
further advocate 'sucll legislation as
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation OF small banks with
local capital and knowledge OF credits.
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
q statement setting forth the views of
the club and requesting every friend
Of currency reform to sign the rcsolu.

This movement is exactly in line with
the action Of the indianapolis confer
