SHINING a Pearl.

The lapidary was skinnng a pearl
He had on gloves OF very delicate
sort of kid, and the glasses that he
wore had lenses of such great magni-
flying power that his eyes, through
them. looked as big as Saucers, II
wear gloves" he said. because the
hands perspire freely in this work. and
perspiraton has often been known to
discolor pearls. This stone was injured
by the accidental dropping on it Of
some acid. The disaster discolored 1t,
YOU see. With this very delicate little
tool l am removing its outer skin, and
il l find that the acid has filtered
through and discolored the inner skin
also l may remove that as we'll. A
pearl, you see. is composed of concen-
trio layers, or skins, and you can. If
you are clever workman, peel it down
and down until it disappears. That
operation indeed, is often done by the
apprentices of the lapidary trade. They
work on spoiled. worthless pearls. and
the experience is very good for them.
1t teaches them a great deal about
the pearls anatomy, ard it gives a
wonderful cunning to their hands. The
pearl is the only precious stone that
can be skinned. To skin it is often the
only way to restore its milky color"

The Reckless Dog.

"Did you ever notice that a dog will
not wait for a street car to pass if he
wants to cross the street?' asked an
observant man. well he never will
do 1t. He will dash wildly in front Of
the car every time, and very often he
takes his life in his hands. as it were,
in order to make the crossing. Why it
is l do not know. but the average dog
will become panic-stricken in a way II
a car rolls along at time when he is
anxious to get on the other side of the
street. With desperate plunge he
will dash in front of the car. In many
instances the car will not miss the dog
the fraction of an inch. l have talked
to street car men about the matter and
motormen have assured me that nine
ty-nine out of every 100 dogs will do
this very thing. 1t may be that they
do it just for the excitement OF the
thing. Dogs seem to love excitement
They seem to be particularly fond Of
anything that smackS of the chase.
anything that will give them chance
to develop speed and show fleetness of
foot. We have all noticed how they
will run after and bark at any object
that is in motion. I have known dogs
that would run 100 yards or more after
a cloud shadow. or the shadow of a
buZZard. as 1t skinned along the land
scape. They will run after flying
birds. They will chase anything that
is on the go. whether the object is ami
mate or inanimate. They will run aft
ter wagons. street cars. bicycles auto
mobiles or any old thing. and it may
he that this old love of the chase has
something to do with the practice l
have been discussing. At any rate,
the average dog viii not wait for n
street car to pass if he wants to cross
over to the other side of the street,

From the carries. youth the Chinese

continuing not only the family name,
but the family ancestral worship. give
him an exaggerated value in his pa

avail himself. He then acts as a
spoiled boy acts elsewhere. and makes
himself the worldwide nuisance Of his
kind. And this, of course. In spite OF
the teaching of all the sages. and not
withstanding the twenty -four stories
of filial piety with which he is RECALLED

He knows of WI Meng. for example,
the son of poor parents who could not
afford to buy mosquito curtains. and
he reads, with his tongue in his cheek,
how this model youth acquired a last
ing name by going to lie down In his
parents bed sometime before their
hour for retiring. in order that the
mosquitoes might gorge themselves
on his blood and leave his parents
alone. 1t is to he feared that there is

those beautiful bent glass domes in
loaded effects or other metallic set
