OUR FIRST MUSTANGS.

They Were Probably Brought 10 This
Country by the spaniards.
The first horses OF the western plains
were probably brought there by the
6paniards. In 1546, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled Coro-
nado, the Spanish captain, was roam
ing about the plains OF New Mexico,
Indians to haul their plumber on lodge
poles, indicating that they had no
horses at that date.
In 17I6 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains,
and their letters tell OF the astOnish-
ment OF the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex.
pedition was constantly losing horses,
and there is little doubt that the first
droves OF western horses originated
from these str8ys.

a Finland Festival.

Paul Waineman's "a Summer Tour

folklore: midsummer is the great an
nual festival Of Finland. From every
height a bonfire leaps 10 the sky IN
honor Of the mating Of night and day,
who are then united. The Firms pos
sess a poetical legend relating to this
annual custom. Kolt and Amarik, the

SORTING PEARLS.
Tho Gems Vary Greatly In Size, Snaps
and Quality.

When the pearls are talen from the
dead fish they are first sorted accord
Ing to size. This is done by passing
them through set Of ten small brass
sieves, called baskets, with meshes of
varying sizes. Pearls of the first class
that are perfect both In sphericity and
IN luster are called ami. Those Of the
second class, that to the average OBJ
server seem equally without flaw, are
anitari, and most Of the pearls we see
In the west and on general sale come
under this head. OF the third class,
called masauku, are those that are
somewhat irregular in shape and
trihe of in color, but that are valuable
for use in clusters and are largely
used by eastern artificers IN mountings
or various sorts. Rural is the double
or twinned pearl, which, when of good
luster and sufficiently freal1ish shape,
Is sometimes enormously valuable. In
this class the most wonderful speci-
men on record is the great Southern
Cross pearl, which is in reality nine
pearls naturally grown together and
forming a perfect cross an inch and a
half long. 1t was found off the coast
OF Western Australia in 1874 Many
seed pearls and reflections. called va
divu. are generally ground into chu-
nam and used as an ingredient in a
favorite sweetmeat From China also
comes a heavy demand for seed pearls,
and in India bushels Of them literally
are used 10 the decoration Of idols and
sacred images and Of weapons as well.

20 Prevent Recurrence This Year.
Consul Jesse b. Jackson, writing
from Aieppo describes the Turkish
plans for preventing a recurrence this
year OF the scourge OF locusts In
nothern Syria:
During the months OF June and
July. 1908, this province was visited
by great sw3rms OF locusts, permeat-
ing every locality to such an extent
that the crops then standing as we'll
as the vegetables in their early state.
were entirely destroyed. As this Is
purely an agricultural country. tho
hardship caused thereby to the pea
santry amounted to almost a calam-
ity. In partially irrigated districts
the second crop was planted, the
product OF which was sold to local
inhabitants at exorbitant prices
II appears that the locust lays an
enormous quantity OF eggs soon after
a long flight. depositing them In a
protecting sack in hole II makes in
the ground. These eggs hatch out
in the following spring, and unless
the climate is exceedingly cold during
the winter season the increase
therefrom is enormous.
Accordingly, considerable hcuvity
has recently been manifest in official
circles in this vicinity toward pre-
venting a recurrence OF the deplorable
devastation of last year. With this
idea In view a commission was lately
appointed by the government, and
designated as the locust commits.
sion" empowered to exercise such
means as appeared most effective 20,
ward discriminating the insects The
commission therefore requires, that
every rural inhabitant collect and do
liver TO the government at least 20
okes Joke equals 2% pounds), equal
TO about 50 pounds of locust eggs,
under penalty of a fine This has re-
suited in the gathering of various
quantities from the different locali-
ties, as follows: Kills 35,335 okes
imperial domains, 1885 okes; Alep-
20, 1926 okes; Rakka, 1870 ckes;
Biredjik, $3.50 okes; Ourfa, 2,542
okes; Bah, 1851 okes; total, 29g,O4S
okes, equal to 629,SS2 pounds.
In addition, the surface OF certain
territories was plowed over as fol-
lows, viz; Munboutch, 5,525 doonums
(doonum equals one-fourth acre):
Mara, 5,275 doonums; Idlib. 1850
doonums; Aleppo, pa doonums; I'm.
perial domains. 1000 doonums. total,
1914 doonums. equivalent to 4,O3SB
acres.
