How Pearls Are Formed.

Pearls it seems are oyster annoy
ances and monsters. They are mall
formations caused by some foreign
substance finding entrance to the
shell and Irritating The oyster to such
an extent that he exudes a liquid
which eventually bardens and be-
comes a precious pearl. The pearls
are always near the shells and can be
squeezed out Of the flesh with the fin
gers. Sometimes they are found loose
in the shell and at ether times they
are attached. If loose the chances are
that they may fall out, hence good
pearl hunters search the stream bed
and even dig up the dirt. Contrary
to general belief the expensive pearls
are not always round or oblong in
shape. Many fine specimens are
baroques. that is, they assume gro
tesque forms, a fact that can be read
lily accounted for by their origin. An
oyster may be worth provoking.

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man Is
forced under pressure OF modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash.
separating It from its heavier compan-
lon, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, IL we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of
potash, as presented In certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that Is the only way gray matter In the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
Of the drug shop, for nature rejects 1t.

sented through food directly from ma

1t is too late-loud shouts arise
some one has discovered the light
dresses of the ladies against the dark
er background of the wall. and his
cries are bound to bring all the force
of the enemy rushing to that spot
At the same moment Dick hears
Pauline cry out-Pauline, who has
just then preceded him a trifie, and
who means to take his place, in a
measure.
1T is here-the door!" is what she
cries, but Immediately adds. in a dis
appointed voice, but cannot open it

he does not care to take them except
as a last resort, besides, 1t is hardly
fair, as they are debarred from firing

BALL AND CONCERT ROOM.

Ladies who pass the presence at their
majesties' court are requested to be
kind enough to remember that their
trains, which are spread by the pages
on entering the throne room, should
be kept down until they are picked up
and restored to them by the pages who
will be in attendance at the exit door
for that purpose. To-day, we are told,
the debutante may absolutely trust
to the exquisite and ceremonious care
which will attend her every footstep on
the way from the palace door to their
majesties' presence"
Queen Charlotte held evening draw
ing-rooms; William w. and Adelaide
preferred to hold them by day, as did
Queen Victoria. King Edward and
Queen Alexandra held no drawing
room during the year of mourning for
Victoria, and when at last formal an
nouncement was promised of resump-
ton of the ceremonious function, all
were agog to see what changes would
be introduced. The following were
made: Change from afternoon to even
ing. an evening court; attendance and
presentation by invitation only.
In the old days the company used to
faint for bite and sup. In the present
rule there is supper, superbly served
affair Queen Victoria did not care
for residence at Buckingham, but Ed
ward and Alexandra reside in the pail
ace, and the kitchens are in practical
working order, guests at an evening

o'clock the general company has de-
parted, many to make a visit in the

the wonderful presentation costume;
not few to finish the night at parties
given in honor of the presentation oc-
casion. Formerly grand afternoon teas,
called peacock or train teas, were the
custom-the fair debutantes arrayed in
all their glory. Still farther back was
a custom which seems to us very Eng
lish indeed, driving in state in Hyde
Park, public display of costume and
fact of court presentation.

A presentation at court involves no
little fatigue and is assuredly an or
deal. 1t is by no means easy nova
days for the American-in spite of the
eligibility-to get the favor of the
ambassador" and win the coveted
cards of invitation. If favored, two
cards are received, upon which appear
the name of the lady who is to present
the debutante and the name OF the
debutante. Now the question of gown
engrosses attention. and at last the fate
full day arrives. The start for Buck
ingham palace is made due early, that
the experienced coachman may line
up in a good place. There are several
entrances to the palace; the garden
entrance is reserved for the royalties
and their equerries; by Pimlico en-
trance and state entrance the company
is admitted; one ingress is sacred to
the corps diplomatique and those that
hold the entree-wives and daughters
of ambassadors and other distinguished
foreigners connected with the legations,
and wives and daughters of high Of
ficials of the court and government.
To hold entree means not only the
courtesy of a special entrance but also
an early presentation.

would be a tedious wait before the pal

taught him that fighting is hardly to

threats which the terrible Sheriff Of

professor wisely concludes to leave
