agreeing in name with each other.
For of the sard the transparent and
blood red sort is called the female,
while the less transparent and darker
kind is termed the male, and the cya-
nus also is named one sort the male
and the other the female, but the
male is the deeper in color of the two"
The cyanus, or cyanos, of the an
clients is said. though probably incor-
rectly, by many modern mineralogists
to be identical with our sapphire.

The Dukes "rhirteen Clock.

An ingenious timekeeping arrange
ment exists today which was designed
by that famous Duke of Bridgewater
who laced South Lancashire with ca
nails and died hundred years ago.
The duke was great stickler for pune
tuality, and he was annoyed that the
workmen on his estate at Worsley did
not return to work after dinner as
promptly as they left off when the
clock struck -. When he remonstrat-
ed, he was told that while the work
men always heard the clock strike -,
they often failed to hear the single
stroke of l. The Duke of Bridgewater
quickly found remedy for this diff
Guilty. He had clock made that
would strike thirteen times an hour
after noon, and that clock proclaims l
o'clock with a bakers dozen of sono-
rous strokes to this day. The "thir-
teen clock" is one of the curiosities Of
Worsley all.-Wesminster Gazette.

Memorial day will again soon be
here with its attendant duties and
responsibilities. 1t is day peculiar-
ly set aside in only our country,
primarily that we may honor those
who either gave their lives for the
sacred principles of a united govern
ment and those who yet live but
whose health was impaired by the
exposure natural to a campaign or
even camp life. Audubon will OBJ
serve the day as becomes every town.
Some one has said that "Flowers are
the smiles of Gods goodness" If
that be true then the scattering of
flowers over our heroes graves becomes
doubly significant. First that they
were permitted to stand up for the
principles that has made our country
one of the recognized world powers.
Second, that we who are the living
benehclar1es, recognize their loyalty
and their sacrifice in which there was
naught but pure motives and select as
our offering the purest gems that gar
land mother earth. We do it not in
ostentation but in meekness and
reverence. We do it not to display q
mock fervor but from grateful hearts.
We do it not to display effervescent
eloquence but that the deeds of the
brave may be imprinted upon our
youth so that if again the tocsin of
grim war should sound, our young
men would shoulder the gun, their
sisters grid on them their sash of
purity and send them forth to defend
the principles of freedom and the
dignity Of the stars and stripes that
have never yet foated over a cruel and
atrocious crime that went UNPUBLISHED
or witnessed scenes to crimson its
white stripes with shame. We gather
not to listen to disgruntled major
generals who would defame our boys
on whom rests no odium or disgrace,
but to honor those who now fight in
foreign fields. Committees and sub
committees are made out to do the
work and this year will be one of the
red letter days.

The Mississippi river in Wisconsin
has been mined most thoroughly for
pearls during the past few years.
Some splendid fresh water pearls have
been found, but within the past few
weeks there was found the finest and
costliest pearl ever taken from the
river. This pearl was pure white and
measured fifteen. sixteenths of an inch
in diameter. 1t was found at Genoa,
Wisconsin, and brought its finder
2,675S. Pearls are in great demand.
Their value in the past few years has
advanced greatly. Oriental pearls are
extraordinarily valuable, and because
the fisheries are not protected, are be-
coming scarcer each year. The Euro
pean market is almost bare of fine
pearls. Pearls are found to some ex.
tent in Arkansas, Ohio and Texas, but
the finds are usually of small gems.
The main source of pearls is from
pearl oysters and pearl mussels, the
pearl oyster of oriental fame being the
source of the finest gems. Pearls come
in a number of c)lors, being of a
satiny, silvery or blush white color,
also pink, copper colored, purple, yel-
low, gray, smoky brown and black.
The choicest of the white pearls come
from Ceylon, Persian gulf and the west
coast of Australia. Panama yields
most of the yellow variety. The gulf
of California produces the finest black
and gray pearls. Pink pearls are
found in West India, Scotland, Germany
aud United States. The value of
pearls depends on its perfection of
form, on its luster and purity of color.
Round, pear shaped or perfect oval
are most sought for. A tint of yellow
or gray will greatly reduce the value of
a pearl. Pearls are sold by the pearl
grain, four grains being carat. In
the past ten years such has been the
demand for fine pearls. their value has
appreciated at least 500 per cent
