Is II known generally that works OF

A German review furnished recently
some particulars about that question.
Polygnote OF Thasos. who lived about
$50 Il. c., refused. II IL true, any pay
ment for his works and declared that
he was sufficiently rewarded with the
title OF citizen Of Athens. whi,l had
been conferred ON him. But such dis
interestedness was seldom initiated.
Thirty years later the painter Zeuxis OF
Heracleum was called TO the court OF
Archelaus l.. king OF Macedonia. He
received for his frescoes In the palace
OF Pella 100 mines. about 5000. Nina
son OF Ela.hea paid $4,000 for Bat

SklNNlNG PEARLS.

Guarded secret.


'Sklnning Il pearl is Il phrase which
may appear to the lay reader as a
misprint "Skinning'' the purchaser Of
pearl is as old as the lapidary's art I;
that the pearl itself may he skinned" :"
sometimes to the effect of multiplying
its former face value several times
over. may he II revelation.
The pearl is constituted along the
general lines of the Spanish onion. Its
origin Is supposed to be- due to the in
PRODUCTION of certain irritating foreign
matter in the shell of the oyster or the
mllSsrl. and its formation Is supposed
to depend upon the creatures covering
the offending foreign substance with
the layer like sccretionS which make
the substance and the beauty of the
pearl.
In at least one respect the pearl
stones. At the moment il is picked
from the shell the discuVcrer looks UP
ON IL TO recognize the greatest beauty
and value of the pearl The lapidary Is
not looked to for its perfection. as Ia
the ease of one who may pick up Il
diamond in the rough or IL ruby or u
sapphire. The beauty of these stones
is created by the lapidary; IN the case
of the pearl the lapidary is disposed to
regard the oyster as the better judge
Of its perfections. only now and then
does the lapidary disagree with nature
mi h..
There is only one man in Chicago
who attempts this work at the risk
Of the pearl owner. AS 10 how he does
1t, one might as well ask the sphinx.
But for the adventurous owner Of the
pearl. the charge ranges from $3.50 To
ST.. and the other day, after paving
$3.50 for this work. the owner of Il
pearl cleared just $l92.50 by the trans
action.
1t was pearl set in Il ring. and the
owner was willing To sell the pear! IL
he could get within Il few dollars Of
the amount he had paid for IT, lie

Of the diamond and pearl department

I'VE don't want the pearl said the
expert Il can show you one in the
case here that we viii sell you for so,

Explanations followed. and the friend
took the risk Three days later he
called to learn Of the success of the
operation and was offered 500 for the
skinned pearl after the fee of 500 had
been paid. The gem was only slightly
smaller. but an indentation that was
in the original was gone: the pearl was
beautifully rounded aud spot bright
