A GIGANTIC GAMBLE.

every Step of the Pearl Fishery Al.
tended by FickIe Fortune.
The worlds most gigantic gamble.
pregnantly fruitful with chance In all
variations and shadings, is unquestion-
ably the Ceylon pearl fishery. Com
pared with it any state lottery pales to
lnsignihcance. From the taking of the
arst oyster to the draining of the last
Eatful Of matter" every step Is at
tended by tickle fortune, and never Is
the interest Of the people of Portugal
or Of Mexico keener over drawing of
lottery, the tickets Of which may
have been sold at the very thresholds
oe the cathedrals, than is that of the
natives Of Ceylon and southern India
over the daily results of Manar fish
cry.
Each bivalve is a lottery ticket. 1t
may contain gem worthy of place In
q monarch's crown or be seed pearl
with a mercantile value of only n few
rupees. Perhaps one oyster In hun
dred contains pearl and not more
ludH Oiie pedTl Ill nunOfeu, be IL
known, has n value of Importance.
Nature furnishes the sea. pearling
banks, oysters and all therein contain
ed. The Ceylon administration con-
ducts the undertaking and for its trou-
BILE and trfing outlay exacts rake
off, of two-thirds of all that may be
won from the deep. And mere man,
the brown or black diver, receives for
his daring and enterprise one oyster
In every three that he brings from the
oceans depths, and his earnings must
be shared with boat owner, sailors, at
tendants and assistants almost without
number.
For size of ''rake-off" there is no
game of hazard in the world offering
parallel. The Ceylon government
used to exact three out of every four
oysters brought in. the current tribute
of two out of three having become op-
erative only few years since.-Fred-
eric c. Penfield In Century.

1t is the custom in certain parts of
Greece to carry bodies to the grave in
collins which allow the face to be

uted to the Greek populace in a way
which baffied the Turkish officials un-
til coffin which was being escorted
by an apparently mourning procession
was found to contain not body, but
weapons. An order was then promul-
gated that bodies were to be borne to

coffins without lids.

RHEUMATISM

URIC-O QUICKLY CURED HIM

Mr.. Frank Howe, prominent farmer

During siege of the most painful
form of Rheumatism, which lasted two
years. did everything that was posi-
BILE with the aid of money to find re-
lief. Ispent several hundred dollars,
and seemed to grow worse instead of
better each day. Being on crutches
and forced to drive to the train and
then hobbling to the doctors Office, be-
came very discouraging, let alone the
sleepless nights and fearful hours of
pain. Being advised by friend to try
Urlc-O, purchased a bottle and began
its use as directed. In less than "a
hours these fearful sciatic pains left
me, my blood seemed to let loose and
flow freely, felt different, and knew
at once that had found a cure, as
slept and rested all that night, some
thing l had not done before in two
years. l used in all six bottles of
Uric-O, and can truthfully say that
have never felt return of the disease.

THE MANTO.
A Garment That All Chilean Women
Wear to Church

80 ShuECH.
The Chilean wOmens most fetching
garment, wrap, or what you will, is
the manto. 1t is of some kind Of
fine black material and Is worn thrown
over the head. Sometimes a flap Of 1t
Is drawn tightly across the forehead.
After being thrown over the head the
manto, by some means which I have
as yet been unable to discern, Is cinch-
ed in close about the neck.
This cinching In at the neck makes
a kind OF hood around the face, and
this hood is very skillfully manipulat-
ed by some of the women to cover up
moles and other defects and to con-
zeal the fact that their hair has not
been carefully combed.
From the shoulders the manto falls
down In front to the toes and behind
10 the heels. 1t is held together in
front partly by pins and partly by the
hands of the wearer 1t is usually, but
not always, worn over the street cos
tune.
The wearing Of mantos by all wom-
en-, no matter of what class, on attend
ing church is obligatory. This provid-
ing for uniform costume is quite rea-
sonable and is designed to eliminate
such things as our Easter bonnet COM
petitions and allow the mind to for
sake earthly and devote itself to things
spiritual
1t also swells the attendance on
many occasions. for some of the ladies',
when they arise too late to have time
to dress for early morning mass, mere
ly throw on their mantos over their
robes de mutt and, with the addition Of
such head and foot trimming as is
necessary to give the impression Of
being fully dressed, trip demurely of
to church. to all outward seeming as
though they had spent hours instead of
minutes before their glasses.-Los An
geIes Times.

From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Nov. "a, 1906.
Rslitor Press
1t is rather interesting indica-
zion of the feelings through the
great West that the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial Congress should
have turned down Mr.. Bryan as it
did. This matter has it's hinge in
Washington not only because of
SIR. Bryan's White Houseward
looks but also because Secretary
Root and a number of other gov
eFnment officials were honored
guests before the Congress, and it
was shown by the outcome that
their counsels, rather than those of
Che eminent Nebraskan, prevailed.
Secretary Root, bearing a mes
sage from the administration which
could hardly be mistaken, spoke
earnestly in favor of Ship Sub
sidy Bill and also said certain
things in favor of the Monroe
Doctrine, which were grateful to
the people at large and which the
South American diplomats were
doubtless also glad to hear. Then
arose Mr.. Bryan. He ignored Ship
Subsidy, he sad nothing about the
Monroe Doctrine; and he presented
20 the Convention two resolutions,
ehe one favoring International arbi-
eration, on which he had made his
reputation before the Inter-Parlia-
anentary Union in England, and
she other Enthusiastically demo-
cratic denouncing all trusts and
monopolies OF every sort.
Note the result. The Conven-
zion knew that the present admin
sstration was doing all it reason,
ably could in the matter of ttrust
busting" 1t knew also that we
stood for international arbitration,
witness the attitude of the Presi-
Dent in issuing the first call for the
se-assemblihg of the Hague confer
ence. But it turned down these
two resolutions of Nebraskan
origin, and it Incorporated in the
report of its resolutions committee
most stirring endorsement Of the
Monroe Doctrine, and further en-
dorsement, not of the Ship Sub
sidy Bill, but of the upbuilding of
she American Merchant Marine
with the incidental remark that it
agreed thoroughly with the pre-
sentiment that had been made by
Secretary Root.
This side stepping Of the Subsidy
Bill proposition was no doubt Il
judicious avoidance of trouble.
The Ship Subsidy Bill is going to
be an expensive luxury. 1t prob
ably will secure the results at which
ut aims, but it has acquired during
the past session of Congress a
@eyellow dog reputati on, and
there will be many hard things
said when the bill is finally forced
to passage.
A decision has been reached by
Postmaster General Cortelyou to
give the contract for printing
United States postage stamps to
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing after all, in spite Of the
fact that the Bureau was slightly
onderbid by the American Bank
Note Company on proposals for the
stamps few weeks ago. The diff
ference in favor of the lower bid
amounted to about $17, 900, but
there was no mandatory law which
would compel the acceptance of
this bid, and the Postmaster Gen
