THE EAR
A Bethlehem Industry Which Is Five
Years Old.

A Bethlehem Industry Which Is Five
Hundred Years Old.
The chief industry of Bethlehem of
workers.
The shells are brought from the Red
sea and in the hands of native artisans
are polished and carved, the larger into
elaborate designs. The smaller are cut
up for rosaries and crosses. The work
is all done by hand, and the methods
are amazingly primitive to a spectator
from the home Of steam and electric
power. But the results are extraordi-
nary. The largest shell we saw was
carved in scenes from the birth of
Christ, the agony in the garden and
the cruciixion, and had the general eff
feet of delicate frostwork. Under the
magnifying glass every detail was seen
to be perfect in outline and in finish.
1t was EXECUTED to order for q wealthy
American and was to cost $3.50.
About $50 people make a living by
this industry. which is 500 years old.
In the shops the workmen sit upon the
floor, their benches in front of them.
The air is full Of whitish dust, and the
light admitted by the single window
and the open door is so dim that the
exquisite tracery Of the wrought shells
is a mystery even before the visitor
notes how few, simple and crude are
the instruments employed. Marion

HIDDEN GOLD.
The Hoard of Precious Metal That Il
secreted In India.

secreted In India.
1t would be an immense benefit to all
mankind If the stores of gold held by
individuals In India could be made
available for general use. Ever since
the dawn Of history that country has
been gathering gold and hiding it away.
Treasures of almost i~ncalculable value
are possessed by many Indian princes.
When the maharajah of Burdwan died
the stock of gold and silver left by him
was so large that no member of the
family could make an accurate esti-
mate Of it. A report made to the Brit
ish government by a secret agent stat
tentate were a number of treasure
houses, one of them containing three
rooms The largest of these three
rooms was forty-eight feet long and
was filled with ornaments Of gold and
silver, plates and cups, washing bowls,
jugs and sc forth-all of precious net
ais. The other two rooms were full of
bags and boxes of gold mOhurs and
silver rupees. The door of this and
other treasure houses had been bricked
up for nobody knows how long.
These valuables, according to an an
cient custom, were in the custody of
the maharajah's wife, the vaults being
attached to her apartments, but none
Of them was allowed to be opened save
In the presence of the master. One
vault was filled with ornaments belong
ing to different gods of the family. The
natives of India commonly bury their
boards, and among the poorer classes
a favorite hiding place is q hole dug
beneath the bed. Disused wells are
sometimes employed for the same pur-
pose. 1t is undoubtedly a fact that
very many boards thus deposited are
lost forever. Gold is also valued on re-
ligious grounds. The gods take up
great quantities of gold, silver and
precious stones. The temples contain
vast mounts of the yellow and white
metals. The habit of boarding seems
have been induced by ages of mis-
government, during which oppression
and violence were rife. No feeling of
safety existing, it was natural that the
natives should adopt the practice of re-
their wealth to a concentrated
shape and hiding i~t.-BrOoklyn Eagle.

A Tight Ring.

To remove a tight ring from the fin
ger take a long thread of silk and put
one end under the ring and draw it
through several inches, holding it with
the thumb in the palm of the hand.
Then wind the long end of the silk
tightly round the finger down to the
nail. Take hold of the short end of
the silk and, holding it toward the fin
ger, unwind it, and the silk, pressing
against the ring, will withdraw it.
