TOSSING THE PANCAKE.
An Old ShrOve Tuesday Custom stilI
Observed at westminster.

Tossing the pancake" is yearly OBJ
served on Shrove Tuesday at Westminster
School, and is accompanied by several
quaint customs. The cook, bearing fry
ing-pan with as2iuge pancake, is escorted
by a verger, in his robes and carrying the
silver mace from the college kitchen to
the great school room, where all the boys
are assembled. The cook tries to toss the
pancake over an iron bar which runs
across the room from one wall to another.
If the pancake goes clear over the boys
make rush and try each to catch it
whole. The one who succeeds in doing so,
gets a guinea from the dean on showing it
in an unbroken condition. The cook also
receives a gift-ten shillings, II he does
his work properly Nowadays, only so
many boys join in the struggle for the
pancake as there are forms in the school.
Each form names a representative. For
merlv the whole school made a rush,
which was rather a dangerous sport.
Not only are pancakes dedicated TO
Shrove Tuesday but "coquilles" must
also be eaten. Coquilles are found at all
English confections, upon this day; they
are a currant loaf made In the shape Of
a shell-hence the name.
Clipping the churches is another Shrove
Tuesday custom. Children join hands
and walk three times around their parish
church, repeating the lines:
Shrove Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, poor
Jack went to plough,
His mother made pancakes, she scarce
ly knew how; %
She tossed them, she turned them, she
made them so black,
With SCOT from the chimney that poi
soned poor Jack.

tributaries, but II is safe to say that most
of these ladies know as much Of the value
of money and how to take care of their
inheritances as the widest of Wall street
bankers.
Miss Serena Rhinelander has one of the
oldest and biggest New York estates on
her hands, and she keeps the management
of il mainly in her own hands. She owns
scores of tenement and apartment houses,
knows their exact condition and the rental
they should yield and she has perfected
herself in domestic architecture to be able
to examine and criticise intelligently all
building and improvement plans for her
property. Mrs. Elisha Dyer personally ad-
ministers every penny of her own big in
heritance. She superntends and draws a
large revenue from her big Maryland stock
farm, deals occasionally in real estate and
has by clever manipulation increased her
wealth. Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins, who will
be a richer woman at some future day
than she is even know is her own adviser
on investments her own agent and book
keeper.
To realize what the care of these estates
implies, the reader must understand that
each and every one of these ladies' Is worth
In her own right well into the millions.
Mrs Elliot f. Shepard and Mrs. Ftzhugh
Whithouse are each worth something over
ten millions. Perhaps either of these two
ladies' can draw the biggest checks Of any
woman in New York, and next after them
perhaps, comes Miss Caroline de Forest
and Mrs. Wysong, who individually enjoy
incomes of fifty thousand year. and who
like Mrs. Arthur Dodge and Mrs. Herter,
know how and where every cent OF their
capital Is invested. The financial good
sense and acumen of these millionairesses
Is very well attested by the fact that rare
ly does a rich widow or heiress, so long as
she keeps In her own hands the conduct of
her property, feel any shrinkage In her
fortune and every one of these women are,
In spite OF their shrewdness. the most adj
mirable landladies Mrs. Shepard's i'm
proved tenements are among the best In
New York. Miss Rhinelander has given
more land as the sites for handsome phil
anthropic edlfices than any one New York
man, and Miss Helen Gould, who possesses
as fine a row of tenements as any landlord
In the city, has never permitted her agent
to press poor lessee or evict one, though
she has never failed TO collect her rents.

California Pearl Fishing.

The peal fisheries of the Gulf of Cali
fornia are interesting and much less well
known than their interest warrants. A
recent visitor to the Gulf coast, which
Cortez was first among white men to Wis
it, says that the whole coast is now con-
trolled by commissions, and the pearl
crop" is worth from quarter to million
dollars a year. while the tons of shells
exported bring in more than a million
year.
The largest pearl ever found in these
fisheries was sold to the Emperor of Aus
tria for $4,000 Their yearly output is now
much larger than it was before the i'm
provement i'm diving bells made It possible
for good divers TO go down a hundred feet
and stay for an hour or two. Formerly,
when native divers were employed. they
went down only in water thirty-five feet
depth, and could remain, Of course, but
very short time.
La Paz is the headquarters of the pearl
industry, little town whose dealers send
most of their wares direct to- the great
jewel markets of the world in London and
Paris There Is always a good deal Of ro-
nance in the idea of pearl fishing, since
so few oysters have their pearls. But IT
is. after all rather more of a gambling
business. since chances vary so much in it.
One traveller says that il develops the inn
aginations of the divers Some of the old
est ones among them spin regular focastle
yarns about their remarkable adventures
and hair-breadth eseapes from death al
the jaws OF shark or the tentaeles OF an
octopus
The demand of the world for pearls OF
great beauty Is always in advance Of the
supply, and as there Is a present no way
Of fishing pearls by electricity. the occu-
patton of the human pearl fisher, either
as diver or yarn-spinner, Is not soon like
ly to vanish from he earth.
