gathered is a problem not easily solved.
The pearls were certainly obtained from
a species of mussel called The "unio,"
which is still found in great abundance in
many of the streams of this country; but
in those days the shellfsh in question
must have been far more plentiful than
now and 1t Is probable that the aborig-
ines Of the Mississippi valley depended
upon it to a great extent for food. 1t may
be imagined that the pearls were secured
incidentally, and that quantities OF them
were accumulated in the course OF time.
No more beautiful pearls exist in nature
than those yielded by The unto, and the
collections described must have been mag
nifcent indeed in the period of their
glory. Apparently they did not belong 20
the tribes at large, but were he'd as prop
erty of a few individuals of wealth and
distinction. Unfortunately all of them
have been ruined by decay due to long
burial, though an occasional specimen re-
veals something of its pristine beauty
when Its ouler layers are pealed of
In the famous Effigy mound, near Chill
licothe. o., was found more than a gallon
of pearls, with two skeletons. They rang
ed from the size of a miiiet seed to a di.
ameter OF two-thrds of an inch. All had
been drilled with holes made with heat
ed copper ware. This drilling was undoubt-

edly for the purpose of attaching them
to clothing or belts, as illustrated by the
fact that 400 or $50 had been sewed orig
inally upon shirt worn by one Of the
skeletons. In other places in the same re
gion more than forty bears teeth with
pearls set In them, lying near skeletons,
were discovered. From q mound In the
Little Miami valley Prof f. w. Putnsm
obtained over $1,000 pearls nearly two
bushels, drilled and undrlled. The other
deposits yielded upward Of 10000 pearls
II Is noticed as a remarkable fact thar
pearls have never been found IN isolated
mounds nor out of the great mound
groups. They seem to have been used
by the moro cultured tribes, and are an
evidence of extensive trade and barter
Many fine pearls are still obtained In
this country from time to time, derived
from fresh-wster mussels. and every now
and then a great excitement on the sub
ject rises, large numbers OF persons for
saking their regular avocauons to fish for
pearls. In 1857 a pearl Of fine luster
weighing 90 grains was discovered near
Paterson, N. j. II was sold 20 the En-
press Eugene of France for $500 but

a similar number are offices, flats and pri-
vate houses.
II Is interesting to discover where these
people sleep, and IN order to do so II Is
necessary to divide the population OF Lon
don into five Glasses. These are. Base
ment or underground sleepers; first-noor
second-hoor, third-hoor, ana fourth-noor
sleepers.
The dwellers in private houses sleep
mostly upon the second, third and fourth
floors. Hardly any-except, perhaps, one
or two Of the buffers in the larger houses
sleep IN Che basement
Taking the shops and Offices, we find
that the first and second floors are al
most invariably given over to the BUSH
ness. In some cases nobody lives on the
premises at night, but in others the third
and fourth floors may be let as chambers
or flats, or maintained as sleeping apart
ments for the assistants. In the smaller
shops the proprietor and his family not
infrequently reside In the upper portions OF
his business premises, and in very large
warehouses; and shops a houscxeeper and
