some Rare Treasures the Bay Of
Panama Has Yielded to the
gpaniards.


When the stranger arrives at Seville
and Toledo and the guides conduct him
to the cathedrals Of those old cities
he 10 struck with their magnifcence
and the abundance Of the pearls which
are their finest decorations. These
pearls came from the Bay of Panama,
and date from the epoch when the
Spaniards, at the zenith of their glory,
made the conquest of America.
These Panama pearls rival the most
beautiful pearls of the orient. Quite
recently, in the spring of 1899, lad
of is years found an oyster containing
a pearl which was sold at Paris for
$4,000 francs. For his portion he re.
ceived 10000 francs.
A considerable quantity of pearls
procured at Panama are sent to New
York, where they do not lack pur-
chasers, says the jewelers. Weekly.
One consignment exceeded in value
100000 francs. The island pearls are
thus denominated on account of the
archipelago in which the oyster fish
cries are carried on. 1t is opposite
the Bay of Panama. The archipelago
is composed of 16 islets, In which are
80 or 40 small villages of negroes and
Indians. The soil Is fertile, but the
principal occupation Is that Of the
fisheries. The largest isle, called Rey,
alone embraces half of the population.
San Miguel is the chief place of the
fisheries, and there Is very fine
church. The inhabitants are nearly
all blacks. They are descended from
the negro population, from whom the
Spaniards learned the advantage they
could derive from the island riches. |
In certain Of the islands there must '
have been diamond beds. Some fine
rough diamonds were formerly pro-
cured.

AsEpTIC PILLOWS.
New and Emcacious Method Of Fight.
Ing Disease Germs-How to
Make One.

The pillow stuffed with pine
needles, with poppy leaves, or with
eucalyptus leaves and shavings must
give way to the aseptic pillow which
now threatens to change every Chris
tian bed into . quasi-hospital, says
the New York Post.
The new aid to health is q double
pillow, or really one pillow which has
been split longitudinally. In the CEN
ter of each half is pocket filed with
dried sponge, Japanese sponge, or
similar material. Upon this the own
er pours such drug or combination OF
drugs as may be required by his
physical system. According to the
new idea each destructive germ has
its own specific antidote, and every
kind Of sore or diseased tissue it's
own particular remedy. Camphor oil
and camphoric acid and listerine are
among the favorite preparations. All
are strongly aromatic and all possess
q germicide character. When the
pillow is not in use the diffusion 10
