FAMOUS pEARLING GROUNDS.
Fishery on Arabian Seacoast-Collec-
tons of Indian Princess.

Prince Raniitsinhji (the Jam of Jam
nagar) has lately leased his pearl fish

bian seacoast to a European concession
are. This fishery, the only one III
Kathlawar. was never properly deyel-
oped before, neither by the old jam
Sahib nor by the last ruling chief of
Jamnagar. 1t is, as matter of fact.
most valuable adjunct TO the state
Most of the divers are natives. and
they are particularly expert, being LIT.
Madras. too, has its pearl fisheries. but
they do not amount to a great deal
while the well known and famous Cey.
lon pearliEg grounds are to some ex.
tent exhausted.
Not long ago / visited the collection
of pearls and diamonds of his highness
the MahaFaia of Baroda
never expect to see any finer-and per.
haps the gem of the collection is a neck
lace of immense pearls and emeralds in
a gorgeous setting. The Gaekwar is
justly proud of his pearls Among his
diamonds he possesses, by the way. the
celebrated Star of the South, being the
gem for long time in the possession
of Napoleon Gcnaparte, after whose fall
it passed to . Parsee merchant of Bonn
bay.
The Nawab of Ramuo. in central In.
dia is Mahomedan chieftain who owns
such magnificent pearls that in a few
years he has expended sum of about
a million and half in sterling in their
acquisition. This now represents a far
larger sum than $7,50O.000, owing to the
circumstance that Indian pearls have
gone up in price by leaps and bounds
The Jamnagar collection Ranjitsinhjis)
is very famous, but, oddly enough, it is
more renowned for its emeralds than its
pearls. The premier ruling chief of In
dia, the Nizam of Hyderabad, has many
precious stones in the pearl ruby and
emerald line He has also the enormous
diamond known locally as the Miami

A YEARS GIVING.
Enormous Su-as That Are Dispensed in
Charity in America

OF the unchronicled, quiet giving of the
American people to good causes during
year there is no record. says the BoS-
ton Herald The left hand knoweth not
what the right hand does. Neither Of
giving in moderate sums or through
churches and altruiStic societies is there
any annual compilation which can claim
to cover the national field. The aggre-
gate. however, must amount to hun
dreds of millions.
But when it comes TO donations in
large sums, either by gift or by request,
to education. charity. religion art and
civic betterment then there are esti-
mates made each year based ON news
paper reports from day to day. The
year 1908. that saw Il marked falling
off in the production of income natur-
ally recorded falling off in altruisnl.
Even social saviorS cannot give what
they have not. Whereas in 1907 the to-
tai recorded was S140.902. 800 last year
it was only S9O.932.0 OG. But this
amount has to he discounted Il little for
delay caused by settling estates and
turning over property, making good the
intentions of donors and investigating
the reports of gifts. For instance, the
estimate includes Il donation of $1,000
600 for settlement work in Boston.
which very much exceeds the actual fact
i'm the case.

PRIVATE STAMPS.
Principal Cities Had Their Own Special
Issues a Few Yeas Ago.

The private carrier stamps of the Unit
ed States in use in the 40's and early SOS
are among the most interesting memoir
ials of progress from the quaint customs
of a century ago to the highly advanced
methods of today's civilization. Every
section of the country got its private
mail carriers just as every section of
the country today has its moving picture
arcade and its diabolo agency.
One of the private concerns that did
an extensive business and that issued
one of the neatest stamps was the
American Letter Mail company. Its pos
tai service embraced the states of Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island. Connecticut,
New York and Pennsylvania, with con
nections in the principal cities of each
state.
w. Wyman of New York was one of
the big competitors of the American com
pany for New York TO Boston mail. His
stamp bore picture of a locomotive OF
those days drawing what was presum,
ably a mail coach.
Overton Il Co.'S Letter express was
also in competition for the same bust
ness, but was rather more ambitious than
Wyman, for they extended their services
az far south as Philadelphia, and had
well organized connections at that city
for distributing the mail over wide
territory in Pennsylvania and adjacent
states.
Still another rival of these mailmen
was in the field in the person of the
Hartford mail, a famous old private mail
carrier that operated between the cities
of Hartford, Boston and New York.
There were several smaller enterprises
covering portions of the same ground,
and the fact that they all thriyed shows
that even at that time the advantages
of reliable mail communicating methods
were appreciated.
Boston had City Dispatch" in New
York as did Boyd, the latter's head
quarters being at No. l Park place, and

CROWN MADE FROM CANNON.
King Carols Choice When Compelled to
Wear Royal Headgear.

Neither King Carol of Roumania nor
his queen, known in the world of litera-
ture as Carmen Sylvia, had any desire
for regal honors, and when the assas-
sination of Car Alexander in 1881
forced them on Roumania's unhappy
throne they went protestingly. Carol FIN
ally consented to be King, but declared
he would never sit upon a throne nor
wear a crown.
The Chamber and Senate at Bucharest
insisted, declaring the people wanted and
had a right to expect these symbols OF
royalty. Carol protested that a corona
