Invention of Artificial Pearls.

From the New Orleans mes-Democrat.
 The string of artificial pearls wastvery beautiful. But for the regularity of the beads any one would have thought it a rope of real pearls worth kings ran som or the salary of a life insurance president.
 "Pn 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 beadmaker Noise Ja- quin-he lived in the seventeenth cen tury-found a pond in his garden covered one morning with lovely silvery lus- ter, amazed, he called his gardener, who said it was nothing-some albettes had gotten crushed, that was all
 "Albettes were little silver flsh-bleaks the leucscus alournus. The gardener ex- plained that if you crushed them they always gave. the water pearly sheen like that Jaquin the beadmaker put on his thinking cap.
 And for six years he worked with beads and bleaks, wasting millions of both. But finally he achieved success. He learned how to extract the pearly luster from the bleak's scales and to cover glass bead with it.
 What he dd-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 lovely pearly sheen to every thing it is applied to.

association will probably issue no price lists, in that respect differing from the ordinary association of lumber manufac- turers throughout the country The price list is in the popular mind associated with an attempt on the part of the asso- eiatiol to fix the market prices arbtra- rily or course the price list as under stood by the lumbermen has no such meaning, but the Mississippi Pine asso- citation wishes to avoid even the appear ance or evil, and the extent of it's inter- ference with prices will probably be no more than to send an occasional circular to the members, telling of actual trans actions that have taken place, so that the members may draw their own con- cluslons and govern themselves accord ingly.
 The lumbermen of this section are ob- serving with some interest and amuse- ment the efforts that are making to re- yive interest in the big lumber trust that is supposed to have it's grasp on the trade. The Mississippi lumbermen have just passed through an investigation of that kind. and knowing what 1t amounts to have no fears of the outcome. When the Mississippi legislature coHnulehceu lheii investigation the lumbermen were conii- dent of their own reettude, but they realized that often political inyestiga- tions made mistakes, and some times popular clamor proves more potent than the voice of justice. They were pleased with the result of the state investigation, and at the same time learned that they had nothing to fear even from an inquiry by Uncle Sam, himself. The lumbermen l9 vrho baVa hppn EnOKPn to on the subject of federal investiga- ton of the lumber trust, have agreed that the whole matter Is absurd, but have added that they will be glad to af- ford any information that may be de- sired in order to convince the doubting ones that the lumber manufacturing trade stands on its own bottom and Is more
