A Pearl Farm.

There is only one pearl farm in the world. It is in the Torres strait, at the northern extremity of Australia, and be- longs to James Clark of Queensland. Mir. Clark, who is known as 'the king of the pearl fishers, '" originally stocked it with 150, ,OOO pearl oysters. Now 1, 300 men-200 of whom are divers and 250 vessels are employed ill har- vesting the crop.
 "I have been 15 years engaged ill pearl fishing" MT. Clark told a corre- spOndent of the Melbourne Age. "I began ill 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 a place, one can raise pearls and pearl shells as easily as one can raise oysters.
 ''I started my farm three years ago and have stocked it with shells which obtained, in many instances, far out at sea. To grow shells successfully, how ever, according to my experience thus far, the water must not be too deep.
 My pearl shell farm covers 5,089 square miles. Over most of it the water is shallow. In shallow water shells at tain the greatest size, and, besides, it is hard on the divers to go down deep for them.
 II ship my pearls to London in my own vessels. The catch each year runs, roughly speaking, from $2OO, 900 worth up to almost five times that amount"

The Center Table.

Some one recently has spoken word in favor of the old time center table, and it would indeed be good thing could it be restored. The very presence of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its books suggests sociability and delightful intercourse. The very opportunity it of- fers for the drawing up of many chairs is silent invitation, and it so possesses a subtle charm that is all its own. What we most need in our modern social life are informal gatherings where compan- ionship can be enjoyed without the preparation and the fuss attendant upon a dinner or 8 reception. And, as the center table may properly be called a promoter of just such happy homes, it would be we'll were it once more given Q place. Ledger.

4 Poets Chivalry.

The poetry of Longfellow reveals its authors sensitive, chivalrous spirit, so that those familiar with his verses will read without surprise this story told by Mrs. PhelpsWard in her Chapters From Life:"
 LOngfellow was reading aloud poem one day to Mime. Modjeska, whose eyes filled with tears as the reading pro- ceeded.
 ''I shall never forget" observes Mrs. Phelps Ward, ''the tone and manner with which he turned toward her. 'Oh, he cried, I meant to give you happi- ness! And have given you pain.
 His accent on the word pain was like the smart of a wound. '

A Queer Chicken.

Mr. More, a chicken fancier Of Great Bend, Pa., has queer chicken. It is a Plymouth Rock, two years old, that in addition to all the characteris- tics of a fine cock, possesses the natur- al instincts of a hen. He crows and fights and conducts himself as most chandeliers do; yet he has been known to adopt chickens, mother them, scratch and pick for them, raise note of alarm when danger appeared and fold them under his wings at night. He raised two broods of chickens last year.
 As soon as the chicks hatch under a hen, MT. More removes them to small cop, in which the cock is placed. He immediately adopts them, and is a model mother until they are ready to shift for themselves.-New York Press.

DOGS OF INTELLIGENCE.

A Strict Snbbatarian and a Traveller In
 Hansoms.
 The Ladies' Kennel Journal consists of a number of dog anecdotes select ed from many sources, new and old. The stories are arranged to illustrate different features of the &Og's character. Here is an example of what is called a dog's 'tenacity of impression, ' vouched for by an Edinburgh minister:
 "One sacrament Sunday the minister left his house to the care of the servants, who thought it a good opportunity to give party. During the day the dog Ca Newfoundland accompanied them through the garden, and indeed wher- ever they went, in the most attentive manner and seemed well pleased. In the evening, when the time arrived that the party meant to separate, they pro- ceeded to do so, but the dog, the instant they went to the door, interposed, and, placing himself before it, would not all lew one of them to touch the handle. On their persisting and attempting to use force, he became furious and in a menacing manner drove them back into the kitchen, where he kept them until the arrival of MT. and Mrs. Simpson. |"
 From which it would appear that some dogs are Sabbatarians. At all events, he seems to have been of opinion that revelers in a manse on sacrament Sunday were out of place.
 Another story, illustrating the reason of dog. is quoted as having been told by William Robson of Penshaw, the owner of the animal. The dog was ill the habit of going about in hanson cabs with his master. One day, after being lost, Le went home by himself in a hanson.
 "The cabman rang for his fare, and, thinking he had somehow captured the runaway, I inquired how and where he found him. 'Oh, sir,' said cabby, I didn't hail him at all; he hailed me- was standing close by St. James church looking out for fare, when in jumps the dog I shouts through the winder. He wouldn't stir. So I gets down and tries to pull him out and shows him my whip, but he sits still and barks as much as to say, ''Go on, old man." AS 1 seizes him by the collar I reads his name and address. My fine gentleman settles himself with his head just a-look- ing out, and 1 drives on till I stops at this gate. Then out jumps my passen- ger, a-clearing the doors, and walks in as though he'd been regular fare. |"
 The driving in cabs dog is by no means a rare variety. It is told of Lady Ashburnham' collie that, after jumping into handsom, he so plainly intimates that he wants his collar read that, as one cabman said, "Blowed if he didn't ask me to. "-Westminster Budget.

GOOD LOOKS.

There are more wrinkles in the face of a baby monkey than there are in that of an old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles, more of them can be wrought out in fair young face by neuralgia than will be found in that of an aged person. Constant pain will shrivel, and neuralgia neglected will blow its furrows deep. It not only wrinkles, but takes the bloom away and gives the skin dull and yellow look. St. Jacobs Oil Is prompt and sure cure for neuralgia. and it should be used, as while it soothes and cures, it smooths out the tracks of pain and leaves the skin healthy and fair again; besides it rids the sufferer of much torment and re- stores a happier disposition. Good looks come only with good health, and health is found in the absence of pain.

HORRID TORTURE.

This Is often felt in every joint and muscle of the bcdy by turns, by people who. experienc- ing the earliest twinges of rheumatism, ne glect to arrest the malady, as they may easily do, with Hostetter.s Stomach Rltters, pro- fessionally authenticated remedy for the agoniZing complai 1t. Recollect that rheuma- tism unchecked often lasts lifetime, or ab- ruptly terminates it when the malady attacks the heart The Bitters also remedies chills and fever, dyspepsia and liver complaint.

Hut It Was Very Different From What
 He Had Expected.
 As the train pulled out of Chicago a quiet, gentlemanly looking man entered the buffet car, and, ensconcing himself in a comfortable chair, drew out long cigar and entered deeply into his paper. He remained so quiet and retained his seat so long that another passenger, whose bearing distinctly stamped him as commercial travelling man, one of the kind full of chatter and curiosity, could no longer restrain himself. Ad dressing the quiet gentleman, he in quired, Travelling east?"
 Slowly removing his cigar, the gen tleman turned and looked at his ques- tioner with slightly elevated eyebrows, replying, "Yes."
 ''New York;"
 "Yes."
 "Pleasure?"
 ''Yes and no."
 Great place, New York. Ever beer there before?"
 "No."
 ''I'm going home this trip-New York, you know.'
 The gentleman made no reply, but resumed his paper. After little silence the commercial man began again.
 'I'm with c. &. Co.,, on Broadway. If you drop in, I'll show you over the city,"
 "Thank you, it will not be neces- sary!'
 ''Excuse me, but might I ask what your going to New York for?'
 By this time most of the other passen- gers were interested. The gentleman, who was extremely annoyed at the drummer's curiosity, laid down his pa per and exclaimed:
 "I'm going to New York, first, be- cause the train is taking me there; sec ond, because I've got lots of money and can afford it, and, last, because if like the place intend to buy it."
 The commercial man subsided amid roar of laughter. er.-Philadelphia Times.

CHEAP IRRIGATION.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San Francisco, Cal. the largest builders of gas, gasoline and oil engines on the Coast, are making extensive preparations for the seasons business.
 They are filling several orders for large irrigating plants and as this line of their business increases each season, it is safe to say the farmers throughout the State are ap- preciating the advantages of irrigation with water pumped by this cheap power.
 The Hercules Works are at present build ing an 80 Fl. P. engine for Geo. F. Packer, Colusa, which will raise 5000 gallons per minute from the river and distribute it over his land. This will be the largest gasoline pumping plant in existence.
