INVENTOR OF ARTIFICIAL PEARLS
Silvery lustre on a Pond That Set a
Bead Maker Thinkinu.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The string of artificial pearls was
very beautiful. But for the regularity
of the beads anyone would have
thought 1T a rope of real pearls worth
a kings ransom.
I'M tell YOU" said the jeweler. as he
wrapped up the deceptive necklet, how
the wonderfully perfect artificial pearl
came to be invented.
"A rich French Observation-Disclosures
Jaquin-he lived in the seventeenth
c~entury-found a pond in his garden
covered one morning with a lovely sill
very luster. Amazed. he called his
gardener, who said it was nothing
some albettes had got crushed, that
was all.
Athletics were little silver fish
bleaks-the Leuciscus a%lournus. The
gardener explained that If you crushed
them they always gave the water a
pearly sheen like that. Joaquin put on
his thinking CAP.
For six years he worked with beads
and bleaks, wasting millions of both

learned how to extract the peariy lustre
from the bleaks' scales and to cover a
glass bead with II.
What he did-and his method is still
used-was to scrape the scales from the
fish. wash and rub them and save the
water. The water, decanted, gave off
a lustrous fluid of the thickness of oil,
a veritable pearl paint. a magic fluid
that imparts a lovely pearly sheen ia
everything 1t Is applied TO.

TO PLEASE II MEN.

The girl who wants to play tie SUM
mer girl, or, In other words, to select
her summer wardrobe SO that she will
win the admiration of the men she
meets, will confine most of her things
to the plain white shirtwaist suits,
made Of percale, that can be laundered
so that they will almost shine. She
will have them made with big tucks
across the front, long shirtwaist sleeves
and with them she will wear stiff linen
~turnovers, embroidered, and little bow
ties of black. To complete the cos
tune she will wear sensible low cut
shoes that could never in the world be
accused Of having paper soles or
French heels, and a sailor hat.
She will of course have a dress or
two that is decidedly more feminine
with it's bewitching frills and lounces
to slip on in the evening, but for long
tramps over the hills, games Of tennis,
sailing on the lake, or long afternoons
spent lazily with books in the country,
1T is the shirtwaist suit that will seem
much more consistent, n from mans
point of view, more sensible as We'll.

Not Enough Evidence.

From the Boston Herald.
Not many years ago a prominent citi-
zen of Haverhill was arrested for the I'M
lawful sale Of liquor. On being searched,
a half fash OF brandy was found. That
being the only evidence, the Judge charged
the jury. They had been out but five min
utes, when they returned and the fore
man queried:
Your honor. how do we know the flask
contains brandy? L woul like to take
the flask into the jury room"
He was given the flask, and soon the
jury returned.
Have you a~greed?' the foreman was
asked.
1--WE have" he answered. 1--WE find the
defendant not guilty" and exhibiting the
now empty flask, he added: There was
not enough evidence to go around" The
defendant was discharged.

CHAPTER VII.
THE SENDOFF.

The Port Edes had gained the name
of an unlucky ship. She had slain three
men in her building, she a crushed
another TO death the day she left the
slips, and though only three years in
the water she had already manned
enough hands from various crews to
make her a full complement. Some
vessels are this a From no explain
able cause there seems to be a diaboli-
cal fatality about them.
II is not to be supposed that sailor
men rush to join q craft of this sin
lister reputation. They may be asses in
the bulk, but they are only asses in
part. They always try for the best
berths. But because there are not
enough of these to go around, and
because, thanks to the Dago, and the
Dutchman, there are not sufficient
berths Of any sort whatever to supply
all aspirants, it is always possible to
man any vcessel which a board of trade
official will pass through a doc gates.
Just as no man is ever successful in
anything without due course, so per
contra few sailormen are down on their
luck except through some peculiar
trait of incapacity, so that on your
unpopular ship, be she tramp steamer
or exc weeping wind TANNER, you do
not get much pick Of a crew. You
have to put up with what other people
have left, and it uoes not take you
lorg TO find GU that you beauties
have not been rejected for their ex-
~cellencies.
II was this way on the Port Edes.
Forward and aft, engine hold and pan
try, each man on board OF her had his
private sea failing. Between them they
lack wakefulness, eyesight, decision,
strength of language. seamanship and
common sobriety. Among the deck
hands there were virulent sea lawyers;
In the stoke holds there were ames

ALBUQUERQUE GETS
>, IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Sixteenth Annual Meeting Next Year
to Be Held in Duke City-Twjt.
chelI Puts in Good Licks

Albuquerque has been selected as
the meeting place next year of the Ma.
tional Irrigation Congress which held
its fifteenth annual session last week
at Sacramento. California. The only
other city making a bid for the next
convention was Walla Walla, Wash
ington, but 1t was defeated for the
honor by an almost unanimous vote.
Washington. Oregon and Idaho were
the only states voting against Albu.
querque.
Much Of the credit for securing the
next meeting of the irrigation con.
gress for Albuquerque is due to the
good work Of Ralph e. Twitchell, of
Las Vegas, who is member of the
executive committee and was a dele
gate from New Mexico. Governor
Curry's' telegram to the convention
extending an invitation to meet in
New Mexico next year also had the
effect of turning the attention of the
delegates to the Sunshine Territory.
The selection of the meeting place
for the next convention was deferred
until a short time before adjournment
Saturday. Mr.. Twitchell in proposing
the name of Albuquerque made an
eloquent appeal for recognition of
New Mexico. He pointed out the great
strides the territory is making
through the medium of irrigation
both by private enterprises and the
U. S. Reclamation Service which are
making the desert blossom as the
rose"
The National Irrigation Congress
adopted resolutions endorsing the
policy of President Roosevelt relative
to the conduct of the reclamation and
forestry services, both of which are
important factors in New Mexico

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
'SAOULDBE CALLED FOR NOVEMBER
By Governor Curry Delegate Andrews Thinks Now il
the Time-..Gives His Views on Statehood--Favors
Third Term For President Roosevelt.

pOrtionment based upon the vote OF
1906 for Delegate to Congress, and
otherwise treating the people of the
Territory fairly, justly and equitably.
This bill, with proper aid from the
people of the Territory, as a whole
could and would, in my opinion, be
passed by March of next year and be-
come law. The constitution which
would be framed by the convention in
November next, and which had passed
the scrutiny of Congress and of Pres.
ident Roosevelt. could then be prompt
iy adopted and New Mexico could be
admitted to statehood before the
Presidential election next year and
her citizens vote for Theodore Roose-
welt the greatest of living Americans
for President in 1908.
Nothing to Lose, But Everything to
Gain.
Il can see many powerful and cog
ent reasons for such course and the
objections that have so far been pre-
sented to me, to my mind. cannot hold
good in any way. There is nothing to
be lost by this course and everything
to be gained The right kind of a con-
stitution presented to Congress will
direct attention and will aid to estab-
lish New Mexico properly and in the
right light before the people of the
country. Should Congress not ac-
quiesce and consider our efforts to
attain statehood Immediately and fav.
orably at this time, even then the ex.
pense and time spent will be SO trif-
ling that the great good that will come
to the Territory from this agitation,
anyway. will outweigh 1t thousand
fold. have carefully talked this mat.
ter over already with a good many
Senators and Representatives and
believe that the situation is favorable,
that the iron is hot and that this is
the time to strike. President Roose-
velt has given up the joint statehood
idea for the two territories and while
he has not as yet. announced his fu-
ture course, it is my opinion, that IL
proper and strong representations are
made to him by Governor Curry and
by leading citizens of both parties,
in which will cherfully join, the Pres.
dent may be induced to look upon the
question favorably and give the Sun
shine Territory this aid and support
in obtaining the boon of Statehood to
which our people are justly and fairly
entitled to in every direction"
