fresh water bivalyes often contain
beautiful pearls. III Saxony the trade

rules TO regulate it. The fish are placed
in prepared beds and examined every
five years From two to ten pearls are

BILE pearl cultivation is carried on in

The fact that grains of sand and other

advantage OF by the willy Chinese.
Opening the shells OF suitable bivalves
and holding them open with wooden
wedges, they insert small objects Of

tated by these pieces, the mollusks soon

John snure, Newspaper Man, Wins
Bride from Dangerous Rival.
Des iMoines, Sept. 26.-The state
house Is all excitement over the roman
tic marriage of Miss Margaret B.
Turner, recently stenographer IN the
office Of the auditor Of state, and John
Snure. a former Des Moines newspaper
man but now of Washington, D. G..
It has been known at the state house
for several months that Miss Turner
intended to get married and she mod
estly admitted the fact when she re-
signed her position there about SIX
weeks ago, but Mr.. Snlire was not the
then fortunate groom -elect then mem
toned in the -nuptial talk. An
nouncement had been made in Des
Moines paper that Miss Turner was en-
gagged to DR.. Pierre McDermfd, a
prominent young physician OF Fon-
tanelle, and she had also confided the
name of the chosen man to number
of her friends.
When a press dispatch came from
Gillespie, ILL.,, that Miss Turner had
been united in marriage with Mr.. Snure
instead of Dr. McDermid, the friends
of all the principals in the romance,
were greatly surprised. Then came
out the fact that the two young men
have long been rivals for Miss Turner's
hand and the interesting events lead
ing up to the winning of the bride by
the Washington newspaper man in-
stead of the Fontanelle physician are
enow chief topics of conversation among
the friends Of the young people.
