Pearls of the Wabash.

ON the banks of the Wabash River 4
new industry has sprung up since that
stream was sung TO death on the
vaudeville stage and played to cStinc-
ton by restaurant orchestras. 1t is
that OF "pearlng," and has enlisted in
the work hundreds of men and women
and boys and girls who search for the
fresh water pearls. or "slugs," as they
are known in the trade; that is. pearls
i'm their rough state.
1t is not uncommon for the pearl
hunters TO earn 50 day, and thus far
this work has been So profitable that
farmers along the river are complain
ing of lack of "hands" to harvest
their crops.
Naturally. most of the pearls found
are small ones, but some have been
found that weigh 200 grains each. and
IL is the hope OF picking up one or
more OF these big slugs that keeps the
''pearlers" at work. The slugs are
sold to local dealers, who resell them
to dealers In Maiden lane. One OF the
merchants on that street has thousands
OF the Wabash River pearls in stock

In Tile Jingle

An EnglishwOman travelling with her
husband in India passed an entire
night in the top Of a tall tree. waiting
for her husband to get a shot al pam
ther. She describes the experience in
the Pail Mall Gazette:
Toward / o'clock we were certainly
getting drOwsy, when we were both
startled out OF our sleep by hearing the
most fearful snarls and yel.s coming
from just below our tree. Ny husband
was peering out in an instant, but only
just in time to see two large animals,
fighting hard disappear into the
shadows of the trees. In the difficult
light OF the moon we had not time TO
see fo- certain what animals they
were. but it looked and sounded like a
panther driving off pig
Whether what | had seen was the
panther or not | do not know. bnt a
dark shadow passed beneath US, and
there, right opposite us on the bank,
with his white chest cleaning in the
moonlight. sat large panther
My husband got his rifle into posi-
over with n growl. In a minute, with
another low growl, he rolled over again
into n clump of tall grasses just at the
bottom OF the bank, and remained quite
still. He was completed hidden from
US, and we could only watch the place
and wait. Hardly had we got settled
when cracking came on the dry
leaves under the tree. and hyena APP
peared. He stopped a few yards from
the clump Of grass in which the pam
ther lay. and began baying. If it was
intended as a challenge 1t had the de-
sired result, for in minute we heard
savage growl come from the long
grass, and quicker than my eye could
follow in the uncertain light the pam
ther had sprung out upon the hyena.
And now how can l describe that
awful tussle? Snarls, hoVls and fierce
growls all horribly mixed AS those two
fearful animals fought The panther,
we could see, was severely wounded;
in fact, one shoulder appeared quite
useless, and soon it seemed probable
that the hyena would get the best Of it.
when suddenly the two animals parted
a few yards, and lay gaspng and pant
ing on the ground.
MY husband availed himself of this
chance of 4 shot. and with the report
that rang out like a cannon the hyena
boited and the panther rolled over on
his side. Being now certain that he
would never move again, my husband
called to mo to come down. but this
