MOTHER OF PEARL.
The Industry Of Inlayinx 1t In Pre-
ciOus Woods.

The Industry of InlayinE 1t In Pre-
ci0us Woods.
The sole curiosity for sightseers in
the city of Hanoi. a town of the French
Tonquin, is the industry of inlaying
mother Of pearl in precious woods. In
fact, one street, called the Street of the
1nlayers, is given up to the trade. The
workmen are genuine artists, combin-
ing artistic perception with great man.
ual skill. Furnished with rude tools,
but with great patience and skill, these
Workmen produce articles of great
beauty. They have applied the princi
pie Of division of labor, or specializa-
ton, to their work. The cabinet max
ers first put together the various parts
Of the materials to be incrusted. The
Joining is done without the aid of nails
and with nice system of dovetailing
and use of paste, Of which lacquer is
the base. From this cabinet maker the
wood passes into the hands of the de-
signer. who makes sketches for it's or
namentation on rice paper.
These designs are transferred to the
wood by the inlayer. whose duty it is
to choose the pearl that will best serve
to bring out the beauty of the design.
The mother Of pearl is obtained from a
large species Of shelltish, called casQue.
caught chiefly upon the shores Of the
island Of Poulocondar.
The inlayer cuts the pieces Of pearl
into little bits and chooses the combi-
nation Of colors which will make the
contrast necessary for the artistic sue
cess of his work. The iridescence is
heightened by the use of pearl dust
furnished by a kind of mussel taken
from the brooks Of that region. When
the bits Of mosaic are chosen the i'll
layer tries to give them the form of the
design chosen and disposes them as 4
mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel
is made translucent by pumice stone
The pearl Is then fixed i'll a wise. and
the labor OF patience begins. Kneeling
before the wise, he shapes the pieces
with file no larger than an ordinary
color crayon. When the pearl is shaped
1t is necessary to trench it in the wood
This is ordinarily done by children
fourteen or fifteen years old. The bits
Of pearl are then set in the grooves
and fixed with paste. The whole is
gently heated to melt the paste and so
all the interstices. The design is then
polished, vanished and given the fin
ishing touches. The work has been
COunterfeited but never successfully.

There can be no possible objection
to providing sufficient penalty to
deter repeated violations of law.
The penalties provided by the present
liquor law seem designed simply to
be used IS mulcting process and not
to be used where honest attempts to
secure obedience to the letter of the
law are made.
Next to doing effective work for a
county option law our legislators
could perform no better service to the
temperance cause than to give COM
munities that are striving to rid them
selves of the liquor curse power to
deal with chronic offenders OF the law.
The cases of Bepj. Waterman and a
few other chronic devotees to the il
icit selling of booze in the city, sug-
gests that our Legislators should pro-
vide some adequate punishment which
would etfectually deter them from fur
ther violations of the laws. The PEN
atty for third, fourth or any subse
quent otfense should be made q term
in the state penitsntiary. If the sec
ond otfense were made punishable by
working on the streets with ball and
chain, We would speedily fi1d that
such characters would seek refuge in
another occupation or in some other
state. Had the evidence been permis-
ible it would have been shown in re-
cent trial that the "King of Piggers''
would rather stay In the county Jail
ffty days than pay q $50 fine, al
though he had the money on deposit
with the sheriff. This proves that
serving sentence in the county jail
has no terrors for him, and that he
would rather be there than anywhere
else in the city under the present ad-
miuistratiOn.

He was wearing his first pair Of
glasses, and at first they afforded great
relief, but at the end Of month there
was retrogression. Somehow. polish
the lens as he would, the vision up-
peared to be weaker. So he went back
to his oculist and said he thought the
glasses weren't strong enough"
The oculist stepped aside for min

apparently was another pair. Trying
them drew forth the exclamation:
"Why, these are much better! l can

Then he was initiated into one Of the

just the one single unit of government
