SOME DAY.

He's NIT at all distinguished, but
You want to wait awhile and see.
When once that fellow leaves the rut
There's nothing that he couldn't be.
He's in a rather humble place,
But that's not where he means to stay,
He means to strike a swifter pace
: And move up to the front-some day.
Just now he hasn't had his chance
? To show the world what he can do.
There's SO much adverse circumstance
To keep his plans from going through.
But time will bring his opening
And clear the obstacles away;
He's merely crouching for the spring
You'll see what he will do-some day
Hes getting past the flush of youth,
At times we think he's lacking steam
Some people say, to tell the truth,
He's less disposed to do than dream.
But he has faith that's fresh and green,
Although his head is getting gray,
His hopes sublime, his faiths serene,
He means to do a lot-some day.

DYING PEARLS.
The Fate OF Necklace Once Worn py
the Wife of NJ. Theirs.

The Fate OF Necklace Once Worn py
the Wife Of M. Theirs.
In the Louvre Museum at Paris is
to be seen a pearl necklace on its
deathbed. Not literally. on a 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. It ta
mounted in an unostentatious style
and has no value as an article de
vertu beyond the former value of the
pearls, which was about $4,000.
It consists of las pearls in three
rows, which weigh altogether 2097
grains. The largest three pearls
weigh thirty-sia, thirty-nine and
ifty-one grains. |'''s 81 ~
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
wearer. i.-.. .- =
When a pearl necklace is removed
from the neck, where 1t 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, 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 cusn-
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-
ditionar 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-
grafton with serious concern. The
lack of authority to do has no doubt
prevented the board Of managers
from taking the responsibility of ex-
detrimental 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"

Unique Corn Crop.

W. D.. Cornwell brought to u
Office Tuesday morning a hill of corn
containing six stalks and on the six
stalks there are seventeen ears Of the
finest popcorn eyes ever beheld.
Mr.. Cornwell informs US that this
corn grew from a grain of horse corn.
He said that he picked out the largest
grains of horse corn that he could
find to raise roasting ears and planted
one grain in a hill. He said that the
corn came up all right in due time
and finally five Shoots" sprung from
the root of the stalk and that they
continued to grow until n could
hardly tell which is the stalk and
which are the Shoots" On these
six stalks there are seventeen ears

The TiEer is Not All Yellow.

"The yellow Tiber." as Macaulay
calls it in his ballad, is not always

the Apennines it first energies as "a
bright, crystalline cascade springing
from rock and earth and spreading
into a little waterfall" Miss Marie
Van Worst followed it from its our
to its outlet in order to describe the
journey of the river, and Andre Cas-
taigne illustrated it's picturesque flow
for Harper's Magazine. Miss Van
Worst says: 1.-THE ancients called the
Tiber 'Albula-white water. AL
though to the vulgar eye the Tiber
is a yellow river-fawn-colored, in
deed. at certain parts of its channel
yet it is pre-eminently white, with
the milky mistiness seen in certain
jewels, and it is at Rome that the
Lily River is whitest." 1t lis rapid
