Oriental Pearls.

from lne LONDON dlOD6.
To the trade the scarcity Of the oriental
pearl Is becoming matter Of deep concern.
The supply, says contemporary, has fal-
len Off within the past year at least rs per
cent, and the price has advanced from 80
to 80 per cent. Whether the known pearl
fisheries Of the world are giving out for
good we cannot say. but certain It IL that
many of these fisheries have Of late been
worked out; and as no new ones have been
discovered. the supply is correspondinsiy
lessened. II what remains Of the ocean
pearl fisheries continues to give out a. rap
Idly in the future as in the immediate past
1t will become case OF literal exhaustion,
and real oriental pearls will command
about their own price. Pearls are always
in style. Many women attach a sentiment
tality to pearls that they throw around no
other precious stone. 1t Is the sparkle that
catches the eye Of the diamond, and It ia
the luster Of the real pearl that has the
same fascination to women. Men do not
especially care for pearls, nor do they APP
preciate them as gems. They are graded
by size, luster and color, black pearls being
costly. The most expensive and rare pearl
Is true pink. There are pearls Of pink
ish hue, hut we have seen but one or two
true pink pearls In an experience of thirty
years. A true pink pearl the size of q
single carat diamond Is worth about any
price-say. f5O00-and 1t might be impos-
sible to match it.

rHE SALOON pRoBLEK.
Miss Potter's Plan .Isuggests Other
Questions.


From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The movement begun In New York by
Miss Virginia Potter, niece Of Bishop Pot
ter, for the establishment Of q counter at
traction to the liquor saloon proposes to sell
beer and perhaps stronger drinks at social
halls where smoking, dancing and billiard
playing are permitted. There can hardly be
room for questioning tho good intentions Of
Miss Potter and those working with her,
and except to thosA WHO are utterly I'M
willing to compromise even to help the
cause Of temperance the plan will appeal
more or less forcibly. But. instead OF es-
tablshtng counter attractions to the sa-
loon, why would 1t not be as well, If not
better, to elevate the saloon itself.
Efforts are already making on the other
SIDE, by the clergy and others, to improve
the character of the English public house,
these efforts going so far In a practical way
as TO secure control Of public houses here
and there. In q word, to obtain the best
results the reformers have gone into the
liquor business If such a thing Is possible
IN England 1t ought not to be extremely diff
noult here. But 1t would not be necessary,
perhaps, to go quite so far as has been
found expedient in England. The saloon
might be elevated under private, purely
commercial ownership. Up to the present
tlme the trend Of most of the so-called tenn
perance legislation has been toward debas-
ing the saloon. Take, for example, the
screen law, or the law insisting upon per-
pendicular drinking-two enactments which
together have been potent factors in the
degradation Of the saloon.
With wise regulation it ought to be pos
siole to make the saloon orderly, even re-
spectacle and therefore business in which
seif-respecting men could and would en-
gage Our mtra-temperance friends ought
to see how much better 1t is for the good
OF the public that an inevitable evil Ia re-
auceo 10 It's lowest terms instead Of do
ing all they can to make bad matter
worse There Is no reason to believe that
the time will ever come when the use of
stlmulants will have become extinct. Why,
then, is it not the part Of wisdom to have
the drinking that will be done done in an
orderly and becoming manner, in a way that
Will tend to moderation in the use Of stim-
ulants, way that will be decent7
