A Pearl Farm.

There is only one pearl farm in the
world. 1t Is in the Torres strait, at the
northern extremity of Australia, and be-
longs to James Clark of Queensland.
Mr. Clark, who is known as "'the king
of the pearl fishers," originally stocked
it with 10000 pearl oysters. Now
1900 men-20O OF whom are divers
and $50 vessels are employed i'll har-
vesting the crop.

spondent Of the Melbourne Age 81 began
in small way and have given the fish
cries my close attention during all this
time. My experience has led me to the
belief that, with proper intelligence in
the selection Of place, one can raise
pearls and pearl shells as easily as one
can raise oysters.
II started my farm three years ago
and have stocked it with shells which I
obtained, i'll many instances. far out at
sea. 10 grow shells successfully, how
ever, according to my experience thus
far, the water must not be too deep.
My pearl shell farm covers 5,0S9
square miles. Over most Of it the water
is shallow. In shallow water shells at
tall the greatest size, and, besides, it is
hard on the divers to go down deep for
them.

own vessels. The catch each year runs,
roughly speaking, from 5000, 900 worth
up to almost five times that amount. "

The National Financial School.

The National Financial school is
the name Of an organization which is
making some headway in the middle
northern states and perhaps also in 9th
er sections of the country. Its ostensi-
BILE object is to conduct nonpartisan
study of American finance. Its pros
pectus, however, contains some express
sions such as restoration of thorough
~ American financial policy" which
indicates the real object of the pro-
moters. The organization was recently
extended into Boone county, Ind, /,
where seven financial schools besides
the "advance SCHOOL, and the county
school" are now in operation, each with
presidents. secretaries, instructors and
directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couraged by all sound money men and
organizations. There is no more GER
tain way of ridding the country Of
the 16-to-1-er than by educating the
voters on the money question. If the
schools are real schools and not merely
lecture rooms, there cannot be too many
Of them. AS they are nonpartisan, books
and literature on both sides of the sill
yer question should be provided for
their use. In this connection the sound

Soap Lye Products.

The methods pursued by Glatz and
Lugo for SO successfully extracting glyc-
erin and soda from soap lye is describ-
ed in The Electrical Review. The soap
lye which is left in the manufacture of
soap represents, of course, a waste prod
uct, and the process in question enables
glycerin and caustic soda to be removed
from this soap lye by means of cleo
trolysis. The anode is plate of zinc or
carbon in contact with the liquor under
treatment The cathode is in porous
pot. The current decomposes the caus-
tic soda, forming sodium hydrate at the
cathode. The glycerin is set free, while
the albuminoid and coloring matters
are rendered insoluble and are easily
removed by filtration. After this treat
ment the insoluble matter is separated
out, and the liquid is distilled, forming
a perfectly pure, clear glycerin, the
caustic soda being also practically pure
and usable by the soanmalSer

The Interest Barometer.

It will pay silverites who want cheap
noney-that is, money at low rates of
interest-to study the rates Of interest
charged in gold and silver standard
countries and to compare the average
rates Of interest on certain classes Of
loans in sound money states, which
never favor reputation, and in states
which favor free coinage and which
sometimes favor reputation Of debts.
1t is difficult to get exact figures of in
terest rates in different states and coun
tries, but the statistics obtainable are
not favorable for the farmer who votes
for free silver with the expectation that
it would enable him to borrow money
at low rates Of interest
According to the last census, the
average rate of interest on farm mort
cages in 1890 was 1886 per cent. The
rate has undoubtedly declined since
then, except, perhaps, in certain states
which are voting and legislating against
capital. The rate is also higher than
that on most Other classes of securities.
t is probable that the average rate of
interest in this country is now consider
able less than per cent. In England,
France, Germany and many other gold
standard countries it is undoubtedly less
than per cent. We have, however, put
the rate Oh the barometer at 6 per cent
In Mexico, Central and South Amer
ican countries and in most other coun-
tries on a silver basis the rates Of inter-
est will probably average more rather
than less than 10 per cent Statistics on
ordinary loans on farm mortgages are
not available for comparison in these
countries. Perhaps the best available

ARBITRATION AND WAR.
arief but Not Uninteresting Discourse h,
the Old Soldier.

Rrfef but Not Cninteresting Discourse nv
the Old Soldier.
"You know Ican't get over the fact.
said the old soldier,t that there's a
heap more heroes in the world than
there was, all due to the civil war. And
YOU can't tell where you're going to
meet 'em. The man you buy lead pen
Gil of in the stationery store may have
served, and so may the man you buy
your clothes Of in the clothing store.
Just as likely as not the man that
brings your milk in the morning, CON-
ing along early through the quiet streets,
may have been at Gettysburg, and the
man that twists the grip wheel of the
cable car you ride down Broadway in
may have marched over narrow cordu-
roy roads, through lofty forests with a
gun over his shoulder and knapsack
on his back.
"You see, you can't tell. The man in
the pulpit may have been in it, and SO
may the man that sweeps the streets.
You can't tell about it. The fellers
don't stand round and holler about it,
but they're heroes just the same-the
salt of the earth on this continent-and
the world is better for 'em, heap.
They are self reliant and self respecting
citizens, who help to keep the country
sweet. And their children are proud Of
them. How proudl And they grow up
all the stronger and better citizens for
this inheritance.
"Still, / believe in arbitration-on
principle-asd feel bound to say that I
believe in it in practice too. War is a
frightful waste Of human life and Of
material. I can't now and never
could see the sense of destroying things,
and think the most tremendously fool
ish thing going is taxing people out Of
house and home to keep up great armies
standing that are finally to be destroyed.
"And still / can't keep thinking that
war like ours, about real principle,
is not without its compensations. It
sort Of clears the atmosphere, distrib-
utes backbone around among survivors
and tends to the perpetuation and en-
largement Of freedom and the benefit
of the human race. New York Sun.

An Unwilling Lion.

Rudyard Kipling told feminine ad-
mirer not long ago that London society
was something which not only palled
but quickly disgusted him. Now that
he has given hostages to fortune by as
suming the cares of husband and fa-
ther, of course he is not free to act as
in his bachelor days. But, SO he assured
his listener, after some months expert
ence in London in the season before his
marriage he went into the slums and
lived on the east side for a time for no
other reason than to get as complete a
change as possible from that artificial
existence in which he was called upon
to play an unwilling lions part.

THE RAINBOW IN THE SPRAY.

The tide Is foul that sweeps about the town
A yellow, turbid. Disseminating flood
OF city refuse mixed, and oil and mud.
But when ferryboat, big, ugly. brown,
Against the gale Of March comes numbering
down,
The waves she filings to either side are bright
With spray as dazzling in the suns keen
light
As white, as fair, as pure as snow at dawn.
And in the spindrift from each chopping crest
The colors Of the rainbow meet and play.
So in each life, however dull and gray,
There comes some breeze of fortune at Its best,
Cheering the heart with love or hope or rest
And shining like the rainbow in the spray.

The Oak.

The Druids considered the oak as the
emblem, or rather the peculiar resi-
dence, of the Almighty, and according
ly chaplets Of it were worn both by the
Druids and people in their religious
ceremonies. The fruit Of it, the mistle-
toe, was thought to contain a divine
virtue and to be the peculiar gift of
heaven.

Hints to Young Authors.

There is but one way for an author
to get his wares before the editors, and
that is to send his manuscript to the
periodical to which he believes it to be
hest suited. If he deals with the prin-
cipal publications, he can always feel
certain of courteous treatment and hon
est dealings. Prices vary and depend
entirely on the value of the material to
the periodical. Editors are always glad
to examine manuscripts sent to them,
and. all talk to the contrary notwith-
standing, are anxious to discover un-
known talent. Edward w. Box in La
dies Home Journal.
