Some Fool Questions

PHILADELPHIA Teleg' sph: eve all have
our troubles" sac tte colored philosopher
who runs the elevator In the postofice, but
the worst Of 1t is that we think no one
has any but ourselves. My greatest trouble
Is answering fool questions, and l get a
good many of them in the course Of the day.
The other day there was a hung jury, and
one Of 'em asked me IL we had good beds
for jurymen who were kept over night! I
told him l hadn't seen any yet, and I'd
been here a good while. The weather
bureau hung their sign as usual in the
elevator. 1t said fair and that's all, same
as 1t often does. 1t hadn't been there five
minutes when a man from up the state
came in and asked me: Where's his yer
fair at? I told him it was in the circuit
court room II 1t was anywhere. WALL says
he, 4 can't take it in, I've got to go to the
circus And that's the way l get 'em

Their Ruling Passion

New York Sun "When I was in Florida
a few weeks ago." said the Brooklyn man,
II overheard a dispute between two
darkies as to the color of the skin OF GER
tain biblical personages. I won't attempt
to give you their dialect. One declared with
much vehemence that the apostles were all
negroes, and to prove his case told OF the
geographical position of Palestine as COM
pared with Africa. They are all colored
persons in Africa he said, and Africa is
right near Palestine, Peter and all the
apostles were black men, and I know it.
They were not black men, replied the
other, and Peter was as white as that
northern gentleman over there
What makes you so sure that Peter
wasn't a colored gentleman asked his ad-
versary.
"'Well, II Peter had been a colored
gentleman that cock wouldn't have crowed

which they come getting between the lids

tiOn which becomes chronic and often
causes total blindness. 1t is very painful
and is pronounced exceedingly contagious.
Thousands Of F~inIanders Coming.
The Finlanders, who are coming much
more numerously than ever before-thelr
annual immigration having grown from
1000 to 10000 in three ~years-unlike the
classes Just mentioned, are industrious and
highly productive, and are likely to re-
main here permanently, since to return
would be to place themselves in the
power OF the Bear of the North. Nearly
all of them go to the copper mines Of
Michigan and Montana, but many Of those
who have been here some years are now
leaving the mines to become farmers.
1t goes without saying that the immi-
grants to be seen in a body at the immi-
grafton station today are by no means
equal in appearance to those who were to
be seen there daily a decade or two ago.
Still there is occasionally a well built,
deep-chested male specimen. and here and
there a romans face is shown that makes
the observer think OF a blooming rose or
a graceful lily in a garden overgrown
with weeds.

THE LEGENDS OF
ARABIA'S PEARLS
PEARL PARADISE SPREADING
ALL ALONG THE PERSIAN GULF
FOR SIX HUNDRED MILES.

Bahrein is the beautiful island which
gives it's name to a little archipelago
lying 20 miles off the Arabian coast,
brought into prominent note of late
through the stir about K1weit. This
last city Is 300 miles north of the Bah
rein isle, which lies in the lap of that
bay formed by the jutting out of the
great triangular projection called Ka-
tar. The pearl paradise spreads all
along the Arabian side of the Persian
gulf for 600 miles of the shore. The
ocean water is shallow for 30 miles
from the coast, and thus a magnificent
pearl-oyster bed is provided, in which
5000 boats all through the summer are
rowed about by their Arab crows. BAH
rein, properly so called, is an island so
miles long and 10 wide, lying directly
north by south. AlNthe northern half

subject possesses any mundane inter-
est for the islanders, but pearls, pearls,

scientific doctrine that the pearl Ia,

more poetlcal. If a raindrop during
the monsoons finds its way into the

posed that a gem "of the purest ray Sc
rene" is formed the size of the resultant
pearl which is thus distilled being de-
pendest on the size of the drop. The
idea is beautiful. for lit ascribes a
heavenly birth to the lovely product.
From June to October all is busy on
that western section of the Persian
gulf. No fewer than 10000 fishermen
and divers work the long, shallow
shores. A Bahrein boat is a singular
sight. II is a long, deep craft, holding
from 20 to 40 men, of within about one
third will usually be divers, the rest
oarsmen. OF the latter one is curiously
named lei Mussully, or "he who prays,"
on account of some of his peculiar
functions. He holds the diving ropes
IL another breaks off his duty to pray
or to eat.
The sailors and divers live away on
the water for three weeks at a time,
or even longer if their supplies of fresh
water hold out or can be renewed at
the nearest spot. They live chiefly on
rice, dates and Ash caught daily and
cooked over a little charcoal stove,
generally by the "one who prays." The
diver is the victim of hard and cruel
fate. His costume is scanty indeed,
for he knows nothing of diving dresses
of the scientific kind. His apparatus
is a very simple outfit, yet it is curl
Gus, for it is peculiar to his vocation.
Three objects only are included. The
first is the stone with which he is
weighted for the descent. This is fast
ened to a rope passing between his
toes. He can generally remain under
the surface for about two minutes
when he must be promptly pulled up.
He is always half-dead, often bleeds
violently at the nose, and may be
brought up in a condition of uncon-
seriousness from which it is difficult t.
restore him. Every season the pearls
need to be sought out in the gulf. and,
of course, the waters being deeper, the
peril is greater. Probably science will
sooner or later devise some dress and
apparatus which may obviate some OF
the fearful difficulties of this dread
calling.

'ftaam," or nOstril-clasp, made of
horn. Its purpose is to keep the wa
ter from entering the nose. The third
is the "khabaat," or fnger-sheld, a
long leather thimble which protects
the fingers during the process of pick
ing up the shells. The pearl oysters are
left on deck all night, and are opened
in the morning with formidable knives,
the "mifiaket," of which the blade
measures six inches. The pearls vary
immensely in size, in color in weight
and in luster. They are rising steadi-
ly in value, and American women es-
pecially are beginning to prefer them
