PEARLS IN WHITE RIVER.
Indiana Boy Finds Gem Which He
Sells for $500.

Muncie. Ind.-For the first time
pearl hunting this season has become
a distinct industry in White river
Many campers along the stream hunt
pearls, while few persons make it d
regular occupation.
AS yet no very valuable pearl has
been discovered nearer this city thai
Farmland, y miles away. where a boy
found a gem which he sold for $500
Many pearls are found, but most of
lar or so, and are bought at these
prices by local jewelers..
Every day local jewellers receive
pearls, nearly all known as 'slugs,' or
imperfect stones. Usually a part of
the gem is good, but most of it is
worthless, and when the valueless end
is cut off the remainder is so small
as to be of little worth.
A boy who walked all the way from
Windsor, II miles east of here, was
greatly disappointed when a local jew
eler offered him only five dollars for
three pearls. The lad decided to keep
them himself
Local jewelers. have begun making
regular shipments of White river
pearls to the eastern markets, where
the gems bring considerably more
when polished and set than is paid to
the pearl hunters.

Sliding Down a cask.

One of the vintage ceremonies at
Klosterneuberg, the famous convent
which the Viennese visit annually on
st. Leopold's day, consists in sliding
down giant cask of wine. The i'm
mense cask was first filled in the IA
nous wine year of iii. The origin
Of the sliding is found in story of a
cooper who was in the habit of return
ing home in merry condition. His
wife fetched him one day from the
village inn, and he attempted to hide
behind the cask. She seized broom,
however, and with the help of several
friends forced him to scramble up one
side and slide to the ground on the
opposite as punishment for his con-
duct.-London Mail.

A Famous Newspaper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cores.
pendent of The Chicago Record Herald
writes two column letter for his paper
every day in the year without iutermis-
sion. His powers of sustained work are
as great marvel as his faculty of always
making his matter interesting
Probably no other newspaper cores
pendent in the country is read so regu-
larly and eagerly by SO many thousands
of men and women as Mr.. Curtis. Mr..
Curtis has travelled several times around
the world; visiting every country under
the sun, and writing larger numbe of
brilliant and interesting letters OF travel
than were ever before produced by a
single hand. Many of these have later
been reprinted in book form. One of his
latest expeditions for The Record Her
aid was through Mexico resulting in
series of letters as entertaining as those
qe wrote few years ago from India,
Turkey and the Holy Land. His forth
coming letters from Ireland, Russia and
Germany will rival in Importance and
interest any of his previous contrlbu-
tions.
Beginning his careerlin Chicago as a
reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly rose
to be managing editor. He resigned that
position to accept a government APP
pointment as secretary of the South
American commission. So brilliantly
did he perform the duties of this office
that James G. Blaine, Secretary of State,
placed him at the head of the Bureau OF
American Republics. At the worlds
fgir in Chicago he distinguished himself
as the executive head of the Latin
American department. He is member
of almost every learned society in Wash
ington and of many in Europe. 1t is nyt
strange that The Record Herald prints
Mr. Curtis letter every day in the first
column of the front page. and that moth
ing but California earthquake can dis
