Mr.. Thomas, principal of the high

some very clever native hunters brought
in five deer. 4 few weeks since the
hunters were in ground so rough they
could not use their ponies. They stood
along one side of an opening and sent
the dogs into the bush expecting some
wild hog. Instead ten wild carabao

boys Skinned up tree. At the lower
end of the line was Mr.. Harpst. who
only could find little bush. right in the
line of the carabao rush. AS he climbed
the bush it began to bend, and on tho

COCOANUT PEARLS.
Mysteries That Scientists Have Never
Been Abie to Explain.

In the museum at Kew is pearl
scarfpin, only remarkable at a glance
because that is about the last place
where one would look for such an OBJ
iect. The diameter is not much less than
half an inch. the color pure milk white.
the polish excellent; if it is not so CLOS
sy as it should be, one often sees family
pearls of renown as deficient in luster.
This has been exposed to the light for
many years.
In fact, one would not question that
it was an ornament of considerable
value-as it might be, indeed, if carried
to certain oriental markets; but here
only science feels an interest in it. for
this is one of natures limitations, so like
the real thing that chemical analysis can
recognize no difference to be relied on.

As much was known about these very
extraordinary objects two centuries and
a half ago as at present saving their
chemical composition. The great Rum

of them but even sent a specimen in
1858 to the Grand Duke of Tuscany
who had it mounted in a ring. Other no.

the old tale paid no attention to such alb

1t seems to have been forgotten. in
this country at any rate, when DIR. Hick-
son told ii over again in 1887. While eX-
ploring Celebes he had often been asked
by Dutch planters and others about eco
coauut pearls" to what purpose we are
not informed. but it would not be sur

rare products. Or they may have in
quired with an eye to business, for man
darins and raiahs will a great price
for them as charms.
In 1888 DIR. Harley read a paper on
the composition of pearls before the
Royal society. and he did not overlook
these eccentric varieties. In external
appearance" he says, they resemble
smooth, glistening, dull white surface"
Their material is the same, carbonate
Of lime. organic matter and water. So
is their microscopic structure.
In fact, the identity was 50 close that
DR.. Harley suspected the specimens sub
mtted to him were actually shell pearls,
for he found traces of animal substance.
But his report is useful all the same.
for he discovered that there is no carbo-
nate of lime in the milk Of the cOcoanut,
by which these abnormal objects must
be deposited. so far as we can see.
II only remains to sa" ;hat they have
not been found or not reported except
in the far eastern countries, where it is

which is supposed TO have been invented

To the seasoned Anglo-Indian every
boy is born liar and thief. He is ac-

why and invariably is more bitter in his

Ptomaine Poisoning in Summer.

Ptomaine poisoning is caused largely
by the decomposition of animal matter.
In some cases it is dangerous and even
fatal to the victim. We are told to be-
ware of all canned goods. and it is just
as well to be cautious, but doctors claim
there is less ptomaine poisoning due to
canned goods than from the careless
handling of opened foods. Tomatoes
that have been canned several years are
liable to contain impurities. Fish quick
ly decomposes and both sardines and sal
mon should be firm and fresh, removed
from the cans as soon as they are
opened. and washed with cold water.
Never leave a spoon-even Il solid silver
One-in jellies or jam, and always re-
move spoons from the chopped pickle or
acid vegetables. Just as soon as the
metal and acids come in contact there
is a chemical action which, even though
it may not cause ptomaine poisoning,
NAV result in a very severe attack of
illness. There is much sickness caused
by unripe fruit and this is wrongfully
termed ptOmaine poisoning. but in real
ity it is not, for any unripe fruit is lia~
bic to cause illness. The eating of
Strawberries is very injurious to some
persons and there are numerous foods
which cause symptoms of this much
dreaded poison. But housekeeping intel
ligence should teach the average woman
to remove foods from cans and jars and
drain the liquor from canned peas and
green beans.

What to Say and What Not to Say.

To say that you are sorry, is never
necessary: your friends will appreciate
your friendship far more if you change
the subject and ''let the blessed sunshine
in" We no longer care for that form of
sympathy that weeps and walls and
carries on" the sympathy that we want
is not the kind that reminds us Of our
troubles, but the kind that helps us to
forget our troubles. Three-fourths Of
the troubles we think we possess would
disappear if we would only forget them,
and the remainder would lose their hold
if treated in the same manner. There
fore, never say that you are sorry; begin
at once to suggest way out. The at
titude of sorrow is always depressing
and weakening; but what we need in the
midst of adversely is strength. And we
can inspire strength in anyone by saying
something that will call forth the males
ty and the power of the greater life that
is within. When our speech IS depresS'
ing we tend TO suppress all the inner
qualities and the stronger elements that
are inherent in human nature; but when
our speech is inspiring. all those eie'
mpnts are called forth; in consequence,
our friend is lifted out Of the dark. de-
pressing world into the world OF light,
supremacy and freedom.
