PROPER CARE OF PEARLS.
Unless Strung Once Every six Weeks
the Thread Is In Danger.

Unless Strung Once Every Six Weeks
the Thread Is In Danger.
1T would seem as though the care or
string Of pearls was a very simple
matter; and yet how often it Is that
we hear the possesSors OF these pre-
cious gems bewaiIfng some misfortune
that has happened to them.
Naturally, 1 was three-quarters Of
an hour late 10 dinner the other even
ing" one woman said. MY string OF
pearls broke Just as / was cIaspfng ID
around my neck"
s'The being late is iusmateriaI; but
did you find them aIl2" she was as
sured and questioned.
mo- the grieved speaker conttnueds
"tfere were seventy three on my string
and five OF them have Slipped away,
fear never to be recovered as every
crevice and spot tn the room has appaF-
emily been searched into. Perhaps
have been a little careless about having
them restTung otter enough"
AS a fact. pearls should be unfait-
ingly restrung every three months, or
they cannot be worn with any amount
of security. The heavy sblken cord
t42at is generally used with which to
string them appears to be the only
thing that will give them the supple
ness which adds so much TO tnelr
charm; and it is only when this cord is
new that it is equal to the not fncoi-
siderable weight of the pearls. AS soon
as, IN places, 1t begins TO fray, Ii is only
a question of time before one OF these
weak spots will break and let fall a
shower of the precious stones.
Since the very long strings have been
worn t1ls accident has not been an
unfrequent occurrence in BALL rooms
and last winter tremendous eomIno-
ton was caused in the hallway Of the
New York opera house simply by the
breaking of one of these silken cords.
AS a precaution and to keep them
from swinging, many women when
dancing fasten their pearls to the front
of their bodices with brooch; or if the
string Is long enough they wind them
about their wrists. 1t is a most reck-
less habit to nervously twill them
about the fingers and to make a play
thing of them. for 1T must necessarily
hasten the fraying Of the cord.
The cost of having a string Of per
haps fifty pearls restTuns at a reliable
house is about rs cents or 81, and sure
Iy. considering the comfort it brings
the money is we'll expended.

there is no place to stop Until you

You can never reduce the army below

Our opponents do not like to be

REFUSED TO WET THE DIAMOND.
New Anecdote of the Famous Empire

In connection with the foundation of
Cecil Rhodes colossal wealth there is
a story told by an old fellow roiner,
himself lately a colonial minister Of
finance, which illustrates, at least. one
trait in the character of the great
South African financiar and politician
During the early days of the Kimber-
ley diggings 1t was the custom when
a miner found a particularly fine gem.
to invite those about him to the care-
mony of ''wetting the stone" i. e.
drinking champagne at the finders ex-
pense, with the idea that it would bring
good luck in the discovery of another
treasure.
In the adjoining claim to that first
taken up by Mr.. Rhodes, in the very
center of the crater holding the prec-
ious blue dirt. this invitation had,
upon certain occasion. gone forth.
and the boys were making their way
up to the hotel when it was noticed
that Rhodes stood aloof
'Hullo, Come on, Rhodesi" shouted
the lucky finder of the gem. Aren't
you coming up to wet the stone for
good luck" To which, however, Cecil
Rhodes only shook his head.

What are you going to do?" asked
Rhodes, looking up.

Well" replied the future magnate,
decisively. II did not come out here to
drink champagne, but to make money!
and then went on with his work g
That Mr. Rhodes has succeeded in
that purpose probably beyond all
flights Of his imagination, is now a
matter of history.

washington, Oct. "A dispatch from
General Cts was received at the war
department this morning giving an
account Of his meeting with the insur
gent ENJOYS. General Otis said the
interview with Aguinaldofs representa-
tives indicated that the leaders were
maneuvering solely with view to Sc
cure recognition of tine insurgeut gov
eminent.
All such overtures were rejected, and
the ENJOYS were informed that the
only thing the United States would
recognize was a white flag and the
grounding Of arms. He also informed
the ENJOYS that such capitulation on
the part of the insurgents should come
quickly in order to avoid the conse-
uuences of active war, as the United
States did not intend to permit any
delay in the matter.
The course Of General Otis is ap-
proved by the war department. Sec
rotary Root took the dispatch from
General Otis over to the White House
for the presidents consideration.

SPAIN rs INTERESTED.
Anxious Regarding the Way the
War May Affect Portugal.

Madrid, Oct. 2.-El Liberal today de-
clares that Spain cannot remain indif-
ferent to the events transpiring in the
Transvaal in view of the existence of
the Anglo Portuguese treaty, by the
terms of which, in the event of Great
Britain becoming engaged in a, war
with another power, Portugal is obliged
to mobilize 100000 men and allow Great
Britain 10 use her forts and arsenals.
FL Liberal follows up this extraordi-
nary assertion with the statement that
a secret convention also provides that
Portugal viii cede to Great Britain,
Bourenzo Marquee, on the north side of
Delagoa bay, and Mozambique, on the
east coast of Africa, and calls upon the
government to take discreet measures.

Consul Pierce says that the cable was

request other powerful nations to act

CURIOUS CUCKOOs.

The cuckoo IS generally known only
as bird with very nIonotonous note I:
a continuous cry of cuckoo, cuckoo !"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead OF
making a success of their own, seek to
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. It is so with those limitations OF
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised IN some cases of woman,
woman, woman write to woman = makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger
There IS as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. It IS certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DIR. R. v. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
N. Y. For over thirty years DR.. Pierce
has made specially of the treatment
Of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-r1illion
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
.vate and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed IN
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.
