As yet the origin of pearls is matter
of mere speculation. The old theory
that they were "congealod dewdror5
pierced by sunbeams" was supported
by naturalists as late as 1854, and is
evidenced in a Venetian medal bearing
an open oyster shell receiving drops Of
rain, with the motto: by the divine
dew Later conchologists, however,
contend that the pearl nucleus may be
some minute particle, as a grain Of
sand, or the frustule of diatom. or
a tiny parasite, or perhaps one of the
ova Of the pearl oyster itself. This
particle or foreign body is gradually
surrounded by thin layers of nacre un-
Til it is completely encysted and the
pearl formed. The consecutive layers
may vary in brightness and color, and
a defect may be caused by contact with
another foreign substance, thus chang
ing the value with each new layer, and
sometimes causing ''lively kernel" or
seed to be incloscd in an apparent
ly poor pearl.-Lippincott's.

meat and potatoes for supper. Then
came the hardest of all, for it began
to rain hard. Some Of the other COM

pans are about three feet long by two

the weather was hot, but it is very

That was a magnificent victory the
Republicans won out in Oregon and
the platform they won it on was
sound and straightfo rward as could
we'll be made. The silver press are
not disposed to say much about it, as
it is not a subject with any attrac.
tions in that direction. One Populist
paper remarked that it was not much
of victory to brag Of. Still victory
in which the plurality is four times
as large as it was two years ago, does
not reveal anything to be discourag.
ed over. AS we said the platform
was sound one, straightforward and
concise, showing no disposition what.
eyer to dodge the issue. 1t reads as
follows
We are In favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard. We are
unqualifiedly opposed to the free
coinage of silver and to all other
schemes looking to the debasement OF
the currency and the reputation OF
| debts. We believe that the best
money in the world is none too good
to be assured by the government to
the laborer as the fruit of his toll and
to the farmer as the price Of his crop
We condemn the continued agitation
for free silver as calculated to jeopar
die the prosperity of the country anG
to shake the confidence of the people
in the maintenance Of a wise fnan
cial policy. We particularly con
denim as unpatriotic the efforts Of TIT
free silver agitators to array elias
against class and section against sec
tion. We declare that the interest
of all classes and all sections of GU
country alike demand a sound ant
stable financial system.
