The Pearl.

The pearl is the one gem that comes
to us perfect from the hand of nature,
and TO this it's great antiquity as gem
is largely due. Precious stones whose
beauty and brilliance depend on pol
ishing and cutting would naturally be
discovered and utilized later The dis
covery of the diamond, for instance,
probably dates within historic times.
Though known earlier, it was not gem
orally included among the gem treas
ures Of royalty even as late as the sew
enth century. The modern cutting OF
diamonds in regular facets was in
vented as recently as 1876. Indeed it
is quite probable that the pearl was
the first gem known and treasured by
prehistoric man, since the search for
food must have been the first Occupa-
ton of the earliest of the race, and
the shining pearl would thus have been
discovered in river muSsels if not in
marine oysters. Certain it is that the
Old Testament and the ancient writ
ten histories allude to pearls and that
remOter evidence is found in the tOmbs
and eXcavated cities of still earlier
eras. The Egyptians, Babylonians and
AssyrianS held the pearl in an esteem
verging on reverence.

Moon HeHf.

Many people suppose that moonlight
possesses great potency and has Won
derful influence on or over animate
and inanimate things on our planet.
Such persons should remember that
moonlight is only reflected sunlight
and that the quality and quantity Of
the light thus reflected are not what is
generally imagined. In fact, it is a
truth which has often been demonstrate
ed by the speculative astronomers that
It would take G1S.000 full moons to
afford an amount of light equal to that
emitted by the sun, and. furthermore,
there is only sky space for 10000 such
disks. Some heat comes from moon
light. However, it is in quantities so
small that it cannot be measured by
ordinary instruments. Flammari0n
says that the amount of heat emitted
by a full moon while at its zenith can
not be more than one eighty-thou-
sandth of the amount that the sun sup
plies when standing on the meridian
on favorable day in July. Such be-
ing the case, it is really surprising
that intelligent people should consider
that the moon has such a wonderful
, influence" over terrestrial affairs.

For RIack Ewes.

1t is often the case that people meet
with accidents and bruises that cause
disfiguring discolOrationS, from which
they suffer not little embarrassment
and annoyance. 1t is worth while to
know that there is simple remedy
and one quite within the reach of every
one. Immediately after the accident
mix an equal quantity of capsicum an
mum with mucilage made of gum ara
bic To this add few drops of glyc-
erin. The bruised surface should be
carefully cleansed and dried, then
painted all over with the capsicum
preparation. Use camel's hair brush
and allow it to dry. then put on the
second or third coat as soon as the
first is entirely absorbed A medical
journal is authority for the statement
that if this course is pursued immedi-
ately after the injury discoloration of
the bruised tissue will be wholly pre-
vented. 1t is also said that this reme-
dy is unequaled as a cure for rheuma-
tism or stiffness of the neck.

more than half the time Y is doing

We've got four distinct ways to eX-
press the n sOund-gn, pm, KIN and n;
four ways to write the terminal syIla-
bic ''er'-er, ar, or and ir; five ways to
sound the letters ''ough''-uff, awf, ow,

DAD OF SPELLING REFORM.
Joel Barlow Introduced PhOnettcs In
Revolutionary Days.

NcNOAutIOnary Days.
Spelling reform is no new thing. In
the past century it has manifested it.
self in many different phases. At the
beginning of the last century a fad
was started for making all compound
proper names one word. Thus New
York became Newyork, New England
Newengland, Rhode Island Rhodeis-
land, New Jersey Newjersey, etc. Joel
Barlow was the most eminent illustra-
tor of this reform" Joel and all his
works are forgotten now, but when he
published his COlumbad in 1907 he
was looked upon as the great literary
light of America.
Joel was the ''beSt seller of his
days. He copied the stilted and arti-
fetal style of Pope, without, however,
possessing any of POpe'S genius. Born
in Connecticut in 1914, Barlow was in
his young manhood member of now
forgotten cOterie of literary persons
known as the Hartford Wits to
whom the new republic looked for an
example of all that was elegant and
proper in literature. The Hartford wits
all spelled Rhode Island RhOdeiSland,
of course, and the ''puriSts'' and dis
tressingly literary characters of the
time followed their example Even as
late as 1897 some authors who strOve
for supernatural elegance and correct
ness referred to NewyOrkbay and Long
iSlandSOund
The mighty Joel went to live IN
France in 11SS got mixed up with the
French revolution and barely escaped
with his head He spent the greater
part of his life in France. being United
States minister there in 1S11-12. and
did most of his writing there. In the
latter year he died near CracOw, Po-
land, and his reformed system of SPELL
ing gradually went out of use. A good
idea of BarlOw's literary style. though
not of his reformed spelling, is furnish
ed by the following extract from the
once lauded and now forgotten Colum-
biad. 1t describes the retreat from
Bunker HILL
| There strides bold Putnam ard from all
the plains
Calls the tired troops. the tardy rear sus-
tains
And mid the whizzing balls that skim the
lowe
Waves back his sword, defies the follow
ing foe.
'WhizZing balls that skim the love-
is good. The lowe. whatever it was.
| doubtless needed skimWing. and. con-
sidering that Putnam was getting
away about as fast IS he could. it was
| very creditable of him. though perhaps
unnecessary. to wave back his sword
and defy the following foe" who were
| trying to catch him. But the great
Joel and his poem, hailed as immortal,
have gone, along with his reformed
system of spelling. to join the doughty
shade of "Old Put" century ago, and
the present generation must deal with
a new set of faddistS. - New York

A "Turnerv story.

Very few London dealers indeed are
competent to judge Turner's works
that is, without certified history. A
lady acquaintance of mine had large
picture in her house which she had al
ways regarded as Turner, and. desir-
ing to sell it, she offered it to five or
six of the leading dealers, but not one
of them would buy it at any price, as
serting that Turner never saw it and
that it was nothing like his work, and
so on. A few months afterward a doc
ument turned up among her family pa
pers showing that the picture had been
specially painted by Turner for her
husbands father. and in a week she
had sold the work for f2.250. The av-
erage dealer is almost frightened to
touch Turner, and you seldom or new
er see one exposed for sale in the gall
