PEARLS IN MAINE WOODS.

Found in Mussels-and an Invalid Rhode
Islander Makes Money Out of Them.
Henry Spears, an invalid from Paw
time in the Maine forests, going from
place to place with guides and canoes,
has gathered and sold nearly $500
worth of pearls from fresh water
mussels during the past season. He
went to Grindstone, states the Sun,
in May soon after the lakes opened.
When he had fished for trout in Moose
head lake for time he went across
the watershed and foated down the
Allegash toward New Brunswick.
When beyond Chamberlain lake, and
100 miles from the nearest settlement,
he had a hemorrhage which compelled
the party to lay by for month.
One day when the food supply was
growing sea, ce Mr.. Spearss guides
went up stream to cut some hard wood
for fuel. Coming down in the canoe
and towing the wood and limbs be-
hind them, they passed through half
mile of quick water that flowed over
stony bed, and on arriving at camp
luey II Ol HluSSeiS
were attached to the limbs which had
rubbed against the bed of the stream.
At the request of Mr.. Spears, some
of these mollusks were opened and
prepared for supper. Before the guides
had shucked pint they had discovered
three pearls, one of which was as big
as a seven shot They found five
other pearls in the shells which had
come down attached to the brush.
From that time until Mr.. Spears was
able to travel the guides devoted their
energies to pearl hunting. When Mr..
Spears and his men arrived at Carl
bou the pearls were sent by express
to Boston, and ten days later check
for $3.50 was received. They visited
the place again in September, and IN
five days had found quantity of pearls
that sold for $430.
The mussels from which the pearls
were obtained are the long, dark
colored species, which the natives cal
fresh water clans, but whio.. are clas-
sitiel in the books on natural history
as Unio vectus. The Allegash river
is said to contain large quantities of
them. In some places the bed OF the
stream is paved with shells for half
mile or more. These are believed to
contain many thousand dollars worth

they would rather be overcome by

General Wheeler is old but full OF

General Wheeler is old but full Of
ideas, and his plan for higher educa-
tion among Cubans is excellent, OBJ
serves the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser. He proposes, in brief, that
each American college give free tut
tion to few Cuban youth. The col
leges are doing we'll in agreeing to
General Wheeler's plan, and it will
be good thing for Cuba. Wealthy
Cubans have sent their sons here to
be educated nearly as often as to Eu-
rope, but now the wealthy class are
embarrassed, and the middle class are
poor. No doubt many Cuban youth
who would otherwise be prevented by
poverty from coming here for educa-
tion will be able to come nnder this
plan. Anything to spread American
ideas, the English language, and ac-
quaintance with scientific and me-
chanical progress among the Cuban
people will be salutary, The closer
connection there is between Cuba and
the United States the better for the
Cubans and for civilization.

Marseilles is the best market in the
world for American cottonseed oil.
The demand has jumped from II, SS7
barrels in 1883 to 237, S97 barrels in
1897, and will go far over the latter
figure in 1898. The failure in the
peanut crop in India and elsewhere
for several years is responsible in the
first place for the demand for cotton
oil, which displaces vast quantities of
peanut oil in the soapmaking and other
industries. The American oil has
dealt terrible blow to the crushers
of oleaginous seeds in France, and
they are now trying to secure re-
strictive tariff, which the soapmakers,
in their turn do not want.

The London Lancet says in regard
to the work of the society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children: eff
we take the record for last August
alone we find that it contains 2141
cases of proved cruelty. The great
majority of these appear under the
heading of Neglect and Starvation,
though nearly 400 are instances of di-
rect ill-treatment and assault. In
other words, vice and poverty are the
most fruitful sources of domestic
tyranny. The method of treatment
adopted by the society is commenda-
bly, judicious. Though armed with
the power Of punitive law, a prefer
ence is given wherever possible to
less heroic measures. OF the 2141
cases referred to 1876 were dismissed
with warning, but it is noteworthy
that out of 25S prosecutions there
were 24S convictions.
