IMITATION PEARLS.
The Chemical Process by which The,
Are Produced.

The Chemical Process by Which They
Are Produced.
Among all precious stones few are
so extensively initiated as the pearl.
The real article is a silvery white,
iridescent gem extracted from the
pearl oyster. The genuine pearl is
really an unfructified egg of the oys-
ter
Its imitation is arrived at by a chem
zeal process. The liquor employed in
the manufacture is called essence
d'orient" The base of this compound
is prepared by throwing into water of
ammonia the brilliant scales of small
river fish called the blay.
The scales are first carefully washed
and put to soak in water, when the
pearly-like film falls away and forms
a sediment at the bottom OF the vessel
This sediment is worth to the manu-
facturer f5 an ounce
White wax of mucilage or gum ara
bic forms part of the mixture proper
for the more important and expensive
limitations, such as those made to imi-
tate the rare oriental pearls which
fetch fabulous prices,
The emerald is another stone which
is cleverly initiated. A perfect emerald
is the rarest stone in the world, though
the diamond. The best emeralds come
from Peru, the limitations from France.
The real article becomes electric by
friction, and herein lies the difference
between it and the imitation.

Taken with Cramps

Vim. Kirmse. member of the
bridge gang working near Little
port was taken suddenly i'll Thurs
day night with cramps and a kind
of cholera His case was so severe
that he had to have the members
of the crew wait upon him and Mr.
Clifford was called and consulted.
He told them he had medicine in
the form of Chamberlain's Colo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
that he thought would help him
out and accordingly several doses
were administered with the result
that the fellow was able to be
around next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr.. Gifford's

A Rninx Day Costume.


The japanese woman has solved the
question of the rainy day. She tucks
her robes up to her knees, puts on
wooden clogs five or six inches high,
and as her stockings are merely short
socks the wet and the splashing only
fall on bare ankles and legs. There
is in consequence very little difficulty
about the after cleaning, and the kimo-
no is not marred by mud colored stains
that will not come out. This custom
may seem a trifie queer, but as no one
In Japan notices it or even thinks
about 1t and the little ladies do it quite
naturally it is really not more queer
than the custom which our ladies' have
of wearing decoIlete dresses in the
evening, which the Japanese in turn
think most queer. if not actually IN
civilized. It is the old question OF
east and west.-London Taller.

The Moon and the we.tber

The moon is the most powerful
agent in producing the tides on the
earth. 1t also produces some slight
variations in the earth's magnetism.
So far as science has been able to in
vestigate there is absolutely no change
In the weather which can be attribut-
ed to the moon, although half or more
of mankind seem to believe that the
moon does have some control over the
weather. All such beliefs, including
the time for planting gardens and for
going fishing. are mere superstitions,

AUaeful Little Citizen

Faunces Tavern, the historic
building in New York City where
Washington at the CLOSE of the
Revolution babe farewell to the
army, had a narrow escape from
FIRE last week. And that it was
not destroyed. or at least seriously
damaged is due to the timely warn
ing given by little George Wash
ington Glintenkamp.
Faunces Tavern, as no doubt
you know. by the efforts of patrio-
ito societies was purchased for the
city of New York. to be preserved
as a landmark of history. The
building is in charge of Mr.. Gin
tenkamp, and his son George
Washington was born there three
years ago and by right received his
name. He is already familiar with
the history of the old tavern and
the Great Man who made it ia
nous, and he also has keen little
nose and while playing by himself
on the second floor of the house be
smelled smoke Hurrying down
stairs he alarmed the neighbor-
hood. the iremen came and tearing
away some boards found that oak
timbers had caught from the big
chimney, and had been shoulder
ing until they were just ready to
burst into flame. The fire was
promptly put out, and little George
Washington was the hero of the
occasion.
