The Woman Of the Period.

Hurry and excitement are the domi
nant features that characterize the
woman OF the period

ers and sisters overlooked, while her
family Is worried 10 death by her ner-
yous, irritable temper
She cannot take life quietly. but
rushes mp and down stairs as if pur-
sued by a legion of horrors, and
knocks at the door and pulls at the
bell with force enough 10 arouse the

Everything belonging to her is
chaotic, and her memory is so treach-
erous that her friends have learned by
experience never To depend upon it.

Mvsterv Of Shoe Laoss.

Probably no trade secrets are more
jealousy guarded than the modus
operandi employed by manufacturers
of shoe laces The braiding process
IS the main bone of contention, being
the most intricate end Of the work
Lest comterfeiters should attempt 10
duplicate sections, there are no auto
matte shoe lace making machines
placed on the market. either in this
country or abroad. In order TO in
sure protection against possible spies
about the plant. different parts OF the
machine are wrought or cast at vari-
Gus distant points. whence they are
shipped to headquarters and there
put together In the assembling of
the divisional members the utmost
care is exercised that no prying eyes
are around the factory In some in
stances the artisans are sworn to Sc
crecy.

MISS|SSIPPIVALLtY
Pearl Industry Amounts to Over
Three Hundred Thousand DOL
lars in One Year.

Washington Sept. 3.-The Missis-
sippi valley region leads in the United
States in the production of pearls
from fresh mnssels, according 10 a
report soon to be issued by the Geo
logical Survey. on the production of
precious tsones in this country in
1906. One Of the largest pearl deal
ers in the Mississippi valley estimates
the value Of pearls and slugs produc-
ed in 1906 at 1891 900. An estimate
by the United States Fish Commits
sion places the value Of pearls pro-
duced in the United States in 1906 at
about 100000. Each year there is
an unrecorded production Of pearls
from fresh water mussels of many
rivers of the United States, principal.
~ from the Mississippi valley region.
and pearls have also been found along
the Atlantic and Gulf coast states
from Maine to Texas
The American pearls vary so great
ly in color aud tint that it is difficult
to exactly match them for necklaces
and other jewelry On the other
hand, the exquisite color and fine lus-
ter Of the eparls more than offset the
disadvantages of such irregularities
and make them desired IN the gem
