PEARLS BECOMING PRICELESS.
AS They Increase in Popularity Their
VaIue Grows II, ProDortion.

Let every woman who possesses pearls,
large or small, prize them more than ali
her treasures, for they are increasing in
value at an extraordinary rate. Every
day they are more soughts after and be-
come more fashionable, SO that in conse-
quence they are becoming scarcer. Very
long chains composed entirely OF pearls
are most beautiful but, of course, the
price is prohibitive to most people; they
should never be made Of imitation pearls,
as the effect is apt to be meretricious and
vulgar.
Those who believe in the superstition
that pearls are significant of tears may,
perchancc, have their fears corroborated
from the fact that the lovely but unfor
tunate Empress Eugene (who. by the
way, put no faith then in the supersti-
tom wore a superb necklace Of pearls on
her wedding day. The satin of her gown
was made to exactly match the tone of
the necklace. When the war Of 1901
was over this necklace was sold with
many other of the crown jewels. The
pearls were scattered, for no bidder
would offer the 100000, the price of the
eight rows SO that the four necklaces of
two rows each were eventually disposed

Short, but Effective.

1t is generally understood that many
dramatic speeches which great command
ers are reported to have addressed to
their troops before battle were invented
for them III after times by historians and
others, and indeed, from the limited scope
OF the human voice, that they were i'm

MICROBES AND HAIR.
A Nurse Sacrifices the Latter to Ban-
ish the Former.

ish the Former.
Microbes and new women are the two
great factors in modern life and when
the two come together they can vanquish
even a medical man, as Il strange story
from Hungary shows. There is a young
doctress of medicine in Hungary who
has the most magnificent hair, and she
was anxious to know the hospital opera
lions Of a certain famous surgeon. How
ever, she found admission denied her. and
on her inquiring why, the surgeon sad
that she had too much hair; that hair
was a home for microbes, and so she
might render his best operations danger
Gus to the patient. There was nothing
for 1t; the girl was ardent IN the pursuit
of science, so she cropped her hair short.
But it happened that one of the other
beard. so the doctress went to the great
surgeon and said: Doctor, you made me
cut off my hair, but you allow one of
your assistants 20 come to your opera
tons wearing a long beard. Does not a
beard nouriSh microbes as much as
hair?' The great surgeon acknowledged
the justice of her contention, and said
that his colleague should either shave or
leave the hospital. But the young sur
geon was not SO keen in the pursuit of
science as the doctress; he refused to cut
off his cherished beard, and preferred TO
leave the hospital, and go. microbes and
all. somewhere else. And here we are
hidden to note the superiority of woman
over man; but after ali, it is but the old
story. \ woman has always sacrificed
everything for the whim of the moment,
however much she may repent after

A Famous Stag Shot.

There has lived for many years past in
the forest of Loeb Rosque a famous stag
known as the Switcher although he gen
orally carried five or six points,. be-
cause he had been a Caber Schacht IN
early life. In 1895 Mr.. Bignold gave
him his life, and since then the hill or
ders have been, Take hummel or a
havior if you can. but don't shoot the
Switcher." The stag seemed really to
understand, and seemed to delight in get
ting in the way of rifle. However. in
1898 he went to Kinlochawe, and was
fired upon; even this lesson he did not
take to heart, and passed the summer
near the Long Loeb. The other day he
was shot, and though neither his head
nor weight was quite equal to former
times, still he scaled % stones clean, and
carried a massive beam.-The Scotsman
