Clogs Worn by English workmen.

An acknowledged authority has es
timated there are at least 1000. .00C
pairs OF clogs sold in the northern
counties of England every year.
Different woods are preferred IN
different districts. The workers Il,
factories and other indoor occupa,
tions in such districts as Bolton,
Oldham and Preston prefer a sol.
made from either alder or birch
while in the colliery districts, such
as Wigan. beech, birch and ash ar
most generally used. the first named
in each instance being in greatest dc.
mand. Some idea OF the immens
quantity of soles used may be gath.
cred from an estimate that each paii
OF clogs will be resoled twice before
being replaced by new pair, thus
averaging three pair of soles to tn
life OF one pair of clogs. Shoe and

DYING PEARLS.
The Fate of Necklace Once Worn by
the Wife of Nj. Theirs.

In the Louvre Museum at Paris is
to be seen a pearl necklace on its
deathbed Not literally on bed,
but on velvet cushion. 1t is the
great necklace left by the great diplo-
mat and statesman, Thiers, which
once belonged to this prominent
statesman's deceased wife. 1t is
mounted in an unostentatious style
and has no value as an article de
vertu beyond the former value of the
pearls. which was about 100000.
1t consists of r45 pearls in three
rows, which weigh altogether 2097
grains. The largest three pearls
weigh thirty-six, thirty-nine and
fifty-one grains.
The peae.s of this necklace are
destined to die. says the Deutsche
Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are
gradually losing their lrstre from
day TO day, and will during the next
few decades turn as black as the
faded roses of the much handled
wreath. But why? Because pearls
will only retain their original lustre
when they are worn by beautiful
women and come in frequent con-
tact with the warm skin of the
wearer.
When a pearl necklace Is removed
from the neck, where it has been ex-
posed to high temperature, and is
placed in cold marble tablet, which
is of about one-half of such high
temperature, 1t may be justly in
ferred. that the scales of the pearls
will contract and lose some Of their
brilliancy. When pearl necklaces
are habitually placed on velvet cush-
circumstance may also well contr,-
butte to the detriment of the beauty
of pearl, while the chemical COM
position of the color may be an ad-
ditlonal factor in this direction, not
10 overlook the effects of a strong
light.
the management of tho Louvre
Museum has held this. necklace Of
n, Theirs in high esteem, and it has
probably noticed the gradual deteri-
Grafton with serious cone ern. TIE
lack OF authority to do has no doubt
prevented the board of managers
from taking the responsibility of ex-
rerinental steps advised by compe-
tent experts TO save this necklace
from further deterioration.
COW long pearls do live-that is,
retain their lustre--has not been de-
termined Examples do exist where
pearls have retained their beauty for
sa7erel hundred years. On the other
nand. 1t has also been demonstrated
taat under adverse treatment pearls
viii die quickly. justifying the prov
esi you must not throw pearls to

IHE cIncus.


Once ,99pon time, man-in Calcutta,
Thought be'o like to own circus just
for fun
So he hired from the town a most fascinat-
ing Clown
To assist him; and he found him just the
one
For he'd travel west and east 10 consult
with bird and beast,
And persuade them, in his charming
way, to meet
Near the city of Khartoom, where they'd
have abundant room
For the cages. rings and sdeshows on
the street
Now the circus, all confess, was a wonder
full success,
And the Ostrich with her feathers,
proved the belle.
The Orang-outang with ease swung upon
high trapeze,
While q kicking Kangaroo performed as
well.
Some large Bulls. from far Madrid. made
living pyramid
How the leaping Leopard cleared it with
a bound
Then an agile Ape, of course, jumped
through hoops upon horse
And an Elephant threw daggers at
Hound.
the Jaugar
And a Tapir trip the trolley, with
Seal
And Salmon shoot the chute; while a
Falcon played flute
When the Lion looped the loop upon a
wheel
On the whole. they did so well-from the
Gnu to the Gazelle.
That 1t, truly, was a wondrors sight TO
seel
And they all had been so good that their
master said he should
Now release them from their promise;
they were free.
Said the Yak, Were quite content. No,
we really CAM consent,
But III tell you what the animals win
do
As we much prefer to roam and we do not
sigh for home,
We viii. travel for, perhaps, year or
two"
All reioined. ''It's just the thing; we will
meet then every spring,
For we never will be parted from the
Clown
So it's possible you may see the circus
some fine day,
And the long procession going through
the town.

When the suffering Celt was put
