In chapter third Smigg comes to call;

But Tibbles has convinced the maid
That houses are not needed
That outdoor sunshine, breeze and shade
The house has superseded.
Still undismayed, Smigg comes to WOO;
He mentions now his table,
And quotes a tempting menu through
To buy all foods he's able.
He's foiled again, for Imogene
Through Tibbles' long tuition
Believes the wheat grain and the bean

He hints at gowns and costumes grand

VALUABLE OYSTER.

An oyster from Shrewsbury River
that found it's way into the fish shops
of Thomas Mullaney, 522 West One
Hundred and Twenty fifth street, and
was opened there last week, says the
New York Press, contained 1876 pearls,
ranging from one which was 31a
karats in size to some that are mere
specks, weighing about one-twentieth
of karat, the larger number being
about one-sixteenth of a karat in
weight.
The large pearl is irregular in form,
except that one of it's sides is nearly
perfect oval and its color is not
even, but it could be mounted so as
to conceal its faults and expose a very
clear and beautiful ray. Two pearls
next in weight are about the size of
pea, and are of perfect form and
very clear and distinct in ray and are
probably worth more than all the rest
put together. The others are merely
seed pearls, but all of them are high
ly iridescent and of perfect form.
DR.. l. NJ. Marks, the Amsterdam
avenue druggist. who is also an ex-
pert on jewels, gave the value of the
find at $3.50.
