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

The Fate Of Necklace Once Worn by
the Wife Of NJ. Theirs.
In the Louvre Museum at Paris is
to be seen pearl necklace on its
deathbed. Not literally on bed,
but on a velvet cushion. It is the
great necklace left by the great diplo-
mat and statesman, Theirs, 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.
It consists Of 145 pearls in three
rows, which weigh altogether 2097
grains. The largest three pearls
weigh thirty-six, thirty-nine and
fifty-one grains.
The pearls of this necklace are
destined to die, says the Deutsche
Goldschmiede Zeitung, as they are
gradually losing their lustre 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
weaTer.
When a pearl necklace is removed
from the neck, where it has been ex-
posed to a high temperature, and is
placed in a cold marble tablet, which
is Of about one-half of such high
temperature, it 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-
ions after having been worn this
circumstance may also we'll contri-
butte to the detriment of the beauty
of a pearl, while the chemical COM
position of the color may be an ad-
ditional factor in this direction, not
to overlook the effects of a strong
light.
The. management of the. Louvre
Museum has held this necklace Of
M. Theirs in high esteem, and it has
probably noticed the gradual deteri-
oration with serious concern. The
lack of authority to do has no doubt
prevented the board Of managers
from taking the responsibility of ex'
perimental steps advised by compe-
tent experts to save this necklace
from further deterioration.
How long pearls do live-that is,
retain their lustre-has not been de-
termined. Examples do exist where
pearls have retained their beauty for
several hundred years. On the other
hand, it has also been demonstrated
that under adverse treatment pearls
will die quickly, justifying the prov
erb, "You must not throw pearls to
swine

Georgia's New Appellate Court Began
Business With Friendly Disagree
nents Between Judges.


The new Georgia court of appeals
started out at Atlanta Monday morn
ing with two dissenting opinions, filed
before argument in single case mad
been made.
Judge R. B. Russell filed his dis
sent to the rule designating a presid-
ing judge in accordance with age, and
Judge Arthur G. Powell filed a dissent
to the order naming a woman as one.
of the court stenograrhers, on the
ground that this is state Office, and
cannot be held by woman.
Thus did the state court OF appeals
begin its formal sessions at the capi-
tol il, the supreme court room. =
The court met Tor the purpose Of
attending to such preliminary matters
as it had to deal with In advance OF
beginning the regular docket, and
right interesting these prelinlinaries
were.
Here, in part, is the order making
provision for presiding judge, to
which Judge Russell takes exception:
"The established order Of preced-
ence in presiding IN this' court shall
be the same as obtained in the su-y
preme court prior to the creation OF
the separate Office Of chief justice OF
that court. that is to say, that tfla
president or chief Judge OF the court !.
shall be the Oldest Judge in commits
sion, and, as between two or more
judges wose terms of service with
this court begin on the same date.
the Oldest man shall for the purpose
of this rule, be regarded as the Oldest
in commission. In the absence of the: !;
chief judge, the next Oldest shall pre-
side"
Under this order, since the commits
sions of all three Of the judges bear
the same date, Judge B. H. EIiil being
the Oldest in years, becomes the Chief.
Or presiding judge.
The other dissent fled in the court
of appeals at its first meeting was
that of Judge Powell against the ap-
polntment of e woman as stencgra-
pher to the, court, In the selection
of stenographers, Judge Russell nam
ed Miss Marion Bloodworth, OF At
lanta, this being the first instance in
the states history in which woman
has been named as stenographer in
an appellate court. q
Presiding Judge Hill concurred IN
the appointments OF Miss Blcodwarth.
expressing doubt as to whether the
position is one of "a civil officer" or
merely clerk, and giving the be.ear
of the doubt to the appointee. Hence
she will serve in that capacity. s
Judge Powell, however. took the
emphatic view that the position is
that of civil officer, hence that a.
woman is not eligible. Said he: S
"The constitutional amendment crc-
atiEg this court provides that in all
respects, except, as otherwise provided
in the constitution, the laws relative
to the supreme court shall apply to-;
the court of\appeals. To my mind it !:
therefore necessarily follows that fe7:
males are ineligible to hold the Office
as stenographer in the court of ap-
peals. II I could find any escape from
what seems to me an irresistible legal
conclusion, would take great pleas
ure i'll jofaing with my brethren N
the selection of this most excellent
young lady"
Miss Bloodworth, however, was
selected by the votes OF Judges Hill
and Russell, and she will hold the
position. ~

AMERICAN COINS.
Artists De!are Designs to Be the
Homeliest in the
World.

Washington, d. c., May Mot for
much longer is the reproach to be urged
against the United States that, coming
more pieces of money than any other
country, it makes the homliest coins
When the artists got the president
convinced that the coins ought to be
redesigned, he set about to have the
work done. 1t was supposed at first
that an executive order was enough,
but investigation of the law proved
this only partly true. Executive or
der is enough, but changes cannot be
made oftener than once in twenty five
years. The present designs of the gold
coins are more than fifty years old.
The penny and the nickel are also old
enough to be subject to change. But
the silver quarter, sad to say, cannot
be changed for nearly ten years, though
the artists agree that it is far and away
the ugliest coin in the let.
The silver dollar could be changed,
so far as its age is concerned. 1t has
gone unchanged longer than any of
them; practically from the very be-
utIS lS bu6 piftCc
to drop a tear for William Jennings
Bryan-the pathetic truth is that the
silver dollar is officially obsolete. 1t
is not coined any more. 1t probably
never will be coined again. There are
some hundreds of tons of them, bright,
shiny and beautiful to look upon if one
is bimetallist and doesn't have to lug
them in his trousers pockets But
none the less the coin Is obsolete.
The penny is likely to escape reor-
ganization.
The half dollar may not be quite so
bad as the quarter. but it is unforgiv-
able, and should have some art legis-
lated into it. 1t will, however, in all
probability continue to inflict itself on
wretched community for another de-
cade as congress has done little to JUS
tify hope that it will awaken to realize
the need of an artistic uplife. The
nickel will probably be reorganizeA in
to a thing of beauty, though there are
eminent authorities who consider it
very handsome compared to the pres
ent gold pieces
Most folks, however, prefer SEQ gold
pieces.
