Treasure in
the Sea

On the coast of Corfu a story is told
which will perhaps some day pass into
folklore, for it is of the stuff of which
or not no one can say, but the fisher
men of Corfu believe 1t and dream
OF it.
When the Empress of Austria re-
ceived the news of her son Rudolf's
death, she was wearing famous neck
lace of Oriental pearls. That night,
so the story goes. the attendant whose
duty it was to care for the jewels. was
Mortified to see that the superb pearls
had lost their luster and looked dull
and dead. She spoke of the matter to
her mistress, who in her sorrow did
not even listen.
A month or two later the Empress
had occasion to cali for her peals;
and, on opening the case, found every
pearl of the necklace a lustreless gray.
She called the court jewellers into con-
sultation, but nothing could be done
to restore the pearls to their former
beauty.
Finally famous chemist of Vienna
assured the Empress that if the pearls
could be left in the sea for a long time
the action of the salt water would
bring back their color and lustre. The
Empress went TO Corfu later.
While there she went with Father
Ambrosius, an old monk, who was her
friend and confidant, to a wild spot on
the shore of the island. and there they

Her histrionic talent was shown to
advantage during her recent season in
Berlin, when she supported Coquelin
the elder in his new plays. The kaiser
complimented her in nice way when
after witnessing a performance he told
Coquelin that If he (the kaiser) were
as good an actor as the great French
comedian he would want nothing bet
ter than to have Mile. Durand in the
leading female role.
In all the large cities of France Mar
guerite Durand has pleaded the cause
of woman with signal success. Since
her agitation many doors have been
opened to the services of woman both
in commerce and in the professions.
1t was due to the indefatigable en-
ergy of Mile. Durand that La Fronde,
the only successful newspaper in the
world, owned, edited and printed by
women only, was founded in Decem-
ber, 1897. The first days issue exceed
ed 100000 copies. Since then it has
become a popular daily. Scoffers have
stopped their sarcasm and it is regu-
larly quoted by the press of Paris.
Mile. Durand is a handsome woman
full of life and energy, usually the
center OF attraction at social gather,
ings.

This Is the Oldest Dressmaker's Bill


Among the documents which have
lately been discovered in Chaldea is
a tablet which may well be called the
"oldest dressmaker's bill in the world"
II was the custom of the Babylonian
kings to present to the temple sets
of robes for the use of the priests and
priestesses. This was usually done
every year. Many of these lists are in
the British Museum. The oldest hith-
erto known has been that of a king
about 1850 b. c. The document now
discovered is. however, much older
The tablet is of limestone, and was
found in the ruins of temple in the
city Of Nipur, in southern Chaldea
This temple was dedicated to the
ghost god" and had large priest
hood attached to it. From the style
of the writing, which is extremely
archaic, and from the curious system
of numerals employed, the tablet, 1t is
said, cannot be of later date than 2800
B. c. 1t contains a list of ninety-two
vestments which were presented to the
temple by the king. The name of the
king is, unfortunately. omitted. The

inscription ends with the words: "In
all, ninety-two vestments, the bill
(lisD of tia temple for the priests this
year" Many of the words are un-
known, and are doubtless technical
terms employed by the modistes of
that period.
Among the items are Twelve white
robes of the temple, eight robes OF
the house of his lady, ten collars OF
the house of his lady, ten pure gold
collars. two white robes" An item
toward the end of this curious bill
-Four scented robes"--is suggestive
OF the passage in Psalm xiv. in which
are mentioned the robes redolent of
'myrrh and aloes and cassa."
1t was evidently the custom in Baby
Ion to perfume the robes, as it Is at
present in India and Persia. THIS
document is of value as showing the
great development which had taken
place in the textile arts in Chaldea
even at that early period.

hid the pearls securely in fissure un-
der the surface of the water and left
them. There the pearls were when
the Empress met her sudden and trag-
ic death.
Father Ambrosius fell dead in the
cloister when told of the death of his
mistress. The pearls, so the story
tellers say, await lucky finder, some-
where along the rugged coast, and are
likely to be the Capt. Kidd's treasure
of Corfu.
Taking the story for what it is
worth, the fact remains that there are
on record many curious instances in
which pearls apparently sympathized
with the health and mood of their
wearers. Pearls, too. often lose their
color and lustre for no perceptible rea-
son, and in many cases never regain
their beauty.
All through the Orient there are
jewellers famous as doctors of sick
pearls, and to certain of these doctors
pearls of great value are frequently
sent by the native rulers and mer-
chants. The salt water treatment is
one of the most common methods OF
dealing with a sick pearl; so If Eliza
beths necklace is by any chance
where Corfu gossip locates 1t, its
pearls may be finding healing while
Ikoy await discovery.

superintendent.
The dispatch was confirmed at the

DIR. Taylor will not relinquish con

will divide his time between the two
institutions, exercising general SUI

stitution. None of the patients was
present, the formal opening for them
being set for next week. The affair
last evening opened with dancing
from till II. Then supper was
served and later came short toasts.
The function did not end till well in
the small hours of the morning.
Society hall, which has just been
completed at cost of $4,000, is To-
Gated northeast of the main building
and is admirably adapted to the uses
for which il was designed. 1t is very
neat in external finish. being of
pressed brick to match the other
buildings about the place, and the
interior is commodious and attrac-
tive.
The main floor is 50 by 30 feet, and
there is a gallery so by 20 feet in
area. The seating capacity of the
room is about 500. The stage is 10
by 40 feet and is completely provided
with scenery, curtains, dressing
for the carrying out of private or
professional theatricals. The walls
are hand-frescoed and the interior
woodwork is all oak.
In short, it would be difficult to
conceive of a more complete and
better arranged building to accom-
modate the varied entertainments
both for the patients and attendants
that are arranged for at every we'll
