Fresh Wnter Pearls.

The river mussel and some other
fresh water bivalves often contain
beautiful pearls. In Saxony the trade
in these dates from 1910 and code of
rules to regulate it. The fish are placed
In prepared beds and examined every
five years. From two to ten pearls are
yielded by each. A similar and profita
BILE pearl cultivation is carried on In
Sweden and in other parts Of Europe.
The fact that grains Of sand and other
foreign substances that intrude within
the shells are covered in course of time
with layers Of pearl has been taken
advantage Of by the willy Chinese.
Opening the shells of suitable bivalves
and holding them open with wooden
wedges. they insert small objects Of
wood. stone or metal and restore the
shellfish uniniured to their beds. Irri-
tated by these pieces. the mollusks soon
cover them with coatings of mother-of-
pearl of bright purity and luster and
thus convert them into articles of con-
siderable commercial value.-London

JAPAN IS PROGRESSING.
Slowly But Surely the People Are
Forging Ahead in the
Industries.

The japanese are Quartered on long,
lands having an area oDe-third larger
than the British isles, and about equal to
that of California, OF which only IL per
cent. Is capable of cultivation. The
dense population of from 45,U0lOO0 10
$4,000 000, all dependent upon the prod
ucts of the field and the near, by waters,
carry on their outdoor work by many
an ancient method Their struggle for
existence has not been an easy one, says
the Engineering Magazine, Yet with
all this, they are contented and happy,
for the struggle has not been character
lied by the haste and intense strain un-
der which We labor In this respect they
are wiser in their day and generation
than we are.
When considering lapan's progress,
1t is well 10 remember that there are
at least two viewpoints. one is the
Japanese; and II we judge by their no.
tions, the advancement during the time
occupied by the last half of Marquis
Ito's public life alone IS little less than
marvellous. This is the point Of view
psrsistently put forward by them and
oftenest seen in newspapers. On the
other hand, from the outlook OF a for
eigner who has lived IN Japan and
knows the average as well as the ex-
ceptional conditions, they still have a
long way to go in their industries and
civilization TO attain the eminence they
are popularity given credit for having
already reached,

prlses, II would also emphatically evil

A PRACTICAL FARM TRUCK.
One Which the Farmer Can Build
Will Serve Him Acceptably in
the Cultivated Field.

There are many plats of ground
where 1t is inadvisable to take a
wagon lest the wheels do great deal
of damage to growing plants, and to
freshly-cultivated land, especially after
recent downpours; yet to economize
time and labor in gathering fruit or
spreading manure or in mulching
plants, a haul of some sort seems in
dispensable. This obtains TO even a
greater extent on some lands where
there is danger of overturning and not
stopping at just the proper place and
time.
A broad tire and fat truck will
neither tear up the ground, start at
improper moments, nor be liable to
upset. For heavy lifting, and for
spraying potatoes, the nearer the
ground the better, and if not made too
wide for field rows. yet high enough

TALE OF BULL AND BULLION
Animal While on the Rampage Turns
Up an Ancient Treasure
In Styria,

The incursion OF furious bull into
the discovery Of a hidden treasure,
wires the Vienna correspondent Of the
London Express.
The BULL meeting two tourists walk
ing by the banks of the river made a
rush and galloped after them as they
were running In the direction of the
village.
They rushed for shelter into an old
farmhouse. The bull followed and,
with a snort of anger, charged the door
of the farmhouse, which gave way TO the
terrific onrush of Its horns. ...
Meantime the two fugitives had
locked themselves In an upper room,
thinking they were safe there from
their pursuer.
The infuriated animal, however, fol.
lowed them upstairs and, butting It's
powerful horns against the door Of the
room. shivered 1t TO pieces
Suddenly there was a terrific crash
as the old flooring of the room collapsed
under the heavy impact Of the mad
dened animal, and the next moment the
two tourists were amazed at seeing the
bulls head and shoulders emerging from
a huge gap in the flooring, while the
lower part Of Its body was invisible.
The animal was literally hanging i'm
prisoned between the rafters OF the
flooring, and, believing with rage and
terror, was unable to extricate itself.
Three hours later a policeman shot
II through the head.
Immediately afterward the farmer
who occupied the house discovered lying
in a corner Of the lower room heavy
iron box which, on being forced open,
was found to contain large quantity
of gold and silver coins of the time OF
the Emperor Charles ", their value be-
ing roughly estimated at G15,000.
The treasure box had become dis
lodged from It's secret hiding place un-
der the flooring when the bull had

publican alike-was without our knowl-
edge or consent contributed to the cam
paign funds of the republican party not
only in the two Bryan campaigns, but in
that against Judge Parker, when the
Lord knows 1t was not needed!
You may remember that in the CAM
paign Judge Parker charged in public
address that the republican funds had
been swollen by corporation money,
President Roosevelt replied with some
heat that this was not the case; or
rather, he said that no corporation con-
tribution had been received, which
could possibly be construed as result
of political blackmail, which was Of
course true of the insurance contribu-
tion. Still, l fancy Mr.. Roosevelt now
wishes he had not made the denial quite
so sweeping. 1t is one of the presidents
lovable traits that he believes down to
the letter what is told him by men
whom he trusts. He undoubtedly re-
ceived strong assurances about corpora
ton contributions last fall Yet there
are the facts. Cornelius N. Bliss, him
self an insurance company director and
one of the best, SO far as completely
with the grosser forms of grating are
concerned, received as treasurer of the
republican national committee prac-
tically s150,000 In three presidential
campaigns from the New York Life
alone.
Now imagine a democrat, red-hot
Bryan man, a policy-holder in the New
York Life. This Bryan insurer pays
certain premiums to his company. He
also gives $25 to the campaign fund Of
his party. How will he like being told
that, while he was doing this, his own
money, that he paid in for insurance ana
for nothing else, was being misused to
beat his candidate.
In this state the bribery Of the legis-
lature bysinsurance money quite over
shadows yhis misuse Of 1t in politics.
For a full generation the baser men in
the Empire state legislature have been
practically bribed with the diverted
money of policy holders-not to do any
thing wrong, but merely to refrain from
passing any insurance laws at all.
Hydes father, marvellous man, got all
the law he wanted generation ago.
The game has since been to keep 1t un-
changed.
