eight O'Clock I went to bed in the
little, low, west chamber where I
always slept. I carried candle
and Aunt Roxy carried the big
warming pan, full of Goals. She
said the bed had been made for
week or more, and she was afraid
it would be damp. So she laid the
pan in the bed, moving it gently

Fresh Mnter Pearls.

The river musSel and some other fresh water bivalves often contain beautiful pearls. In SHxony the trade in these dates from I610 and a 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 prodta- ble 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 blvalves and holding them open with wooden wedges, they insert small objects of wood. stone or metal and restore the shellfish unlniured to their beds. trri- tated by these pieces, the mollusks soon cover them with coatings of mother-ot. pearl of bright purity and luster and thus convert them Into articles of con siderable commercial vame.-London Globe.

Gnre the Sun rermi..Ion to

Gave the Sun Termination to Set.
 "One of the odd things that saw in . trip up the east coast of Africa was the permission given each day by one of the kings for the sun to set" said & man who made a trip to South Africa. At one of the ports where we stopped the soldiers were drawn up on the pa. rade ground before the royal palace as the sun was setting. With pomp and ceremony the ruler advanced to the front of the balcony on the second floor and majestically waved his hand to- ward the sun.
 "Onc of his subjects explained to me that it was the royal sanction for the sun tp set. When asked as to whether the ruler gave his permission for the sun to rise In the morning the man re- piled that the sun must always rise be- fore the ruler, but that It could never 90 down unless the royal hand waved approval The king who did this was the sultan of Zanzibar.
 "I hardly believe that he himself was sincere In thinking his permission nee, eSSary, for he was educated for four years at Harrow college in England, but the performance was to increase the belief among the subjects in his d. vine origin. in."-Milwaukee Sentinel.
