Tbirty-seven Perfect Pearis-The
Finest Are Found Only in America.

Tbsrty-seven Perfect Pearls-The
Finest Are Found Only I'm America.
Philadelphia, Oct. 4.-Around the
neck of Mrs. William F. Dreer, the
wife of prominent merchant of Phil
adelphia, is clasped, this summer, a
necklace which even Cleopatra would
refrain from drinking down. 1t is made
of pearls-thirty-se tiny spheres of
radiant, necreous beauty such as no
woman in the world has ever before
worn. Between the pearls white dia-
monds glitter, their blazing iridescence
reflected in innumerable CLEANS of
light, color and dazzling fire, from the
glistening surface of the jewels whose
humble foils they are.
To Egypt, and to the imperial Cleo
patra, nature gave only the dull gray
pearl whose value was it's rarity. The
pearls in Mrs. Dreers necklace are the
pearls of the New World, sought after
with indefatigable industry the coun-
try over for a quarter of century, un-
til at last enough were found to make
this marvellous necklace.
IT is the history of expositions that
they alter tastes and broaden indus
tries. One of the consequences Of the
centennial in 1876 was that the Ameri-
can pearl revealed its splendid charms
to the wealthy of the lands on either
side of the Atlantic. It's innumerable
varieties of tint, the perfection of it's
form and it's rarity appealed to jewell
ers as the discovery of an eighth color
would appeal to the artist. Tiffany, in
New York, sought and obtained many
specimens and they were set with all
the exquisite taste and goldsmith's art
could command. A Philadelphia jewell
er, who was the true lapiary, with the
instinct for a precious stone which a
Cousin Pons had for masterpiece, be-
came enamored of these strange and
lovely pearls. Their opalescent luster,
hidden and lost among mud-buried
shells in American creeks, glowed ten
derby before his eyes, whether he han
died cerulean turquoise or blood-warm
ruby. The pangs of the collector enter
ed into the being of the lapidary. He
felt that he, with his own hand, must
hold, some time in his life, bare and
naked in all their gentle radiance, a
bevy of these beauties that nature had
perfected.
Year after year he sought them. Year
after year word came from some far
state, from Wisconsin to the Carolinas,
that some fresh splendor had been
found and was at his command. He

the magic of the gold that was to be
their setting.
This summer the longing of a quar-
ter of a century of time was repaid
by the moments joy that attended the
completed collection. In the lapidary's
hand there lay some thirty-seven pearls
matched perfectly in form, each rival
ing the other In delicacy of hue. all
putting TO shame the greyness of those
that history and the Old World knew
and were so proud Of. Those pearls had
been born beautiful; and all that a

are graded, and the sexes are taught
separately, the course being practically
the same for both. In this home Of
Slojd, girls as well as boys are care
fully trained in the use of tools, the
plane and chisel, the saw and lathe,
and they acquire much skill in all
sorts of joiners' and carpenters work
On the farms, also, they help in all the
the out of door work, as well as look
ing after the dairy and the house
keeping. There are fewer women en-
ployed in the shops, apparently, than In
Norway, but they manage restaurants
and hotels, where they are often placed
in authority over corps of walters.
The great festival seasons are Easter
Whitsuntide and Christmas, which are
celebrated with church going, feasting,
visiting and gift making. Skating and
sleighing are the chief recreations dur
ing the long winters, in which people
of all classes participate; and in this
sport women of all ages and condi-
tons, as in Holland, become very pro-
ficient. The love of music is almost
universal, and, while the country has
/ given some great artists to the world
there are to be found in every town
and hamlet many who, although they
will never achieve either fame or for
tune. have voices which would be con-
sidered phenomenal. Chorus singing
the wonderful folk songs, are a part
of all gala making, without which fair
or festival would be incomplete.
A. few women have left their lasting
impress upon the litera ture of Sweden.
The most noted of the older school
were Charlotte Nordenfy, and Anna
Maria Lenugren, the poet who is u.s.
ually compared to Mrs. Hemans.
Frederika Bremen, who is remembered
hxy ha ~ d0If nhk f,.I
through Mary Howitts translations Of
her novels and her letters, Homes Of
the New World" has been accredited
to Sweden, but was in reality a native
of FINLAND.
The more liberal educational 'advan-
tages are developing artists and writ
ers of talent, who no longer have to
overcome the opposition that once met
them on every hand. Among the new
school of writers Selma Lagerlof takes
high rank. Her "Story of a Country
House." which has been recently trans
lated into English by Jessie Brochner,
gives one a clear insight into the daily
life and genius of her fellow country
men.
The Danes, as a nation, have little
love for their Northern neighbors-a
sectional prejudice that has been EN-.
bodied in the proverb: Don't be a
Swedish goose, or Danish fox will
eat you"
Inheritors of a land of level fields
and pastures, with a fertile soil, the
Danes find life somewhat less difficult
than it is for all who dwell beyond the
stormy Skager rack and Cattegat.
Their closer proximity to the other
countries OF Europe seems to have
checked the development OF the freeg
spirit of the Northern countries. Wo-
men in Denmark have comparatiVely
few rights; they are subservient to
their fathers and husbands, who are
their lawful guardians. There is
amongst them, however, marked ar
tistic spirit. which, given any scope,
manifests itself often surprisingly, and

nestle art, but in sewing, knitting,

ing and training tending to fit them,
not for an independet career. which it
must be confessed comparatively few
of them regard with favor, but for
good housewives.
Even the Queen, who is the mother
of the present Queen of England, did
not depart from this rule. The family
was poor, and although the royal
mother married her handsome daugh-
ters into half the reigning families of
Europe, she had them taught how to
trim their own bonnets and cut and
make their own gowns. And it is an
accomplishment which, it is said,
Queen Alexandra has passed on to her
own daughters.

I. why Miss Duck Has n Canvas

OF course, you have all heard about
canvas back ducks, and no doubt some
of you have eaten them, but very few
people know how Miss Duck came to
have a canvas back, although it is
generally understood that a canvas
back duck is a great deal more stylish
than any other kind.
One day Mr.. Man was coming home
from market carrying bag of corn on
his shoulder, when he met Miss Goose.
She was great gossip and very en-
tertaining, so Mr.. Man sat down by the
side of the road to hear the news. Miss
Goose was delighted to have any one
listen to her and she talked so fast
and Mr.. Man was so tired from his
long walk that in a very little while
she talked him fast asleep. Miss Goose
was just telling about how her cousin,
Mrs. Swan, had heard that Mr.. Bat
was going blind, when Mr.. Man very
rudely interrupted her with a dread
full snore.

thing good to eat, and If 1t is 1 am sure
Mr.. Man would like me to have a taste
of it," She tried to unite the string
with which the bag was tied, but
it was fastened so tightly that she was
afraid Mr.. Man might awaken before
she could get it undone, so she started
to bite a hole in the bag. The bag
was of canvas, and very strong, but
Miss Goose kept at it, and she soon

She took taste, then another taste,
and before she knew it she was eating

Mr.. Man had never even seen it. She
ate all she could hold, and then dug
a hole by the side of the road and put
the rest of the corn into it and COW

WOMEN OF THE WORLD.
Leading characteristics of Those in

Aeadins characteristics of Those in
the scandinavian Peninsula.
BY Mary H. Krout.
AS in most countries where the
struggle for existence is keen, where a
rigorous climate and an unfruitful soil
have minimized luxury, the women of
scandinavia inherit with their broth
ers Vigor of mind and body. OF the in
habitants of the three countries, Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark. the Nor
wegians possess the greatest physical
loneliness. and they are far more vi
vacious, though a degree less polite
than the Swedes. Tall, finely proper
TONED, with regular features ana a
much less Slavonic cast of counte-
nance, one sees everywhere, in city and
village, splendid types of beauty which
are by no means confined to the higher
classes. The women are the fairest
type OF blondes, with yellow, silken
hair, blue eyes and good figures, en-
HANGED among the peasantry by the
picturesque national bodice, peasant
waist and coquettish white cap. With
this costume antique silver ornaments
are worn, pins, chains and brooches,
uOl uullhe CnOS6 Oh Lne SWISS, ana
which represent no small part of the
family wealth.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Salic law in Norway has barred the
succession of woman to the throne,
women, nevertheless, have enjoyed a
remarkable degree of freedom and au-
thority, due in part at least to their
physical and intellectual force.
There is a three-fold system of gov
eminent schools, to which girls are adj
mitted on equal footing with boys, al
though they are instructed separately
in the lower grades by women and in
the upper-grammar and high schools
by instructors of both sexes. In the
higher schools tuition is paid, and re-
ligious teaching is compulsory, regu-
lar examinations being conducted by
Lutheran clergymen-the opponents Of
the national faith. Women are also
admitted to the technical schools
where they largely devote themselves
to the decorative arts, although a few
of late years. have given evidence 81

GETTING READY
 FOR THE TROOPS
Two Kentucky Companies Start on Campaign Against
 LaWbreakers

Madisonville. Ky, September 25 - All arrangements have been made for the re- ception of the State troops, which will arrive tonight.
 Two companies from Bowling Green and Owensboro will go into camp at Reinecke mines, where all the trouble has been for the last ten days. The union camp is situated within sight of the mines, and from the territory adjoining this camp there has been directed a des- ultory but harassing rife fire at the dep uties guarding the Reinecke property all most daily. Warrants for intimidation and for the use of force have been issued against a large number of men in the company. At Oak Hill mine today the men were fired upon by the miners sta toned in the woods Several deputies To- cated the sharpshooters and drove them into retreat. So far as known nobody was hurt Three hundred or more men are in the union camp at Bakersport thirteen miles east of here, on the edge of the adjoining county They are pro- vided with guns, keep sentries guarding the approaches and conduct the camp in military style. One of their officials is an ex-army man.
