SORTING PEARLS.

The Gems Vary Greatly In Size, Shape

When the pearls are taken from the
dead fish they are first sorted accord.
Ing to size. This is done by passing
them through a set Of ten small brass
sleeves, called baskets, with meshes OF
varying sizes. Pearls Of the first class
that are perfect both in spherlcity 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 a
trife of in color, but that are valuable
for use In clusters and are largely
used by eastern artlfcers IN mountings
Of various sorts. Rural is the double
or twinned pearl, which, when Of good
luster and sufficiently freakish shape.
is sometimes enormously valuable. In
this class the most wonderful speci-

seed pearls and reflections, called va

civII servies Do EneIand and America

Civil Service In England and America.
The difference between the civil
service examination in England and
in America is important and to the
advantage of the English In the
United States the object is almost en-
tirely to discover the immediate fit
ness Of the candidates for the work
they are expected to do. In England
the object in most cases is to measure
what their ability to do the work will
be after they have learned it.-From

OUR FIRST MUSTANGS.
They Were Probably Brought to This
Country by the spaniards.

They Were Probably Brought to Thi.
Country by the Spaniards.
The first horses Of the western plains
were probably brought there by the
Spaniards. In 1545, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled. Coro-
nado, the Spanish captain, was roam
ing about the plains Of New Mexico.
and he tells Of the dogs used by the
Indians to haul their plumber on lodge
poles, indicating that they had no
horses at that date.
In ZIG the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains,
and their letters tell Of the astonish-
meDt Of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex-
petition was constantly losing horses.
and there is little doubt that the first
droves Of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains
they were great pest to travellers.
Woe be unto the luckless camper who
allowed a band Of wild horses to get
close enough to his gentle horses,
turned out for the night, to sweep
them OFF. 1t was almost useless to
follow, for the call of the wild comes
to the gentlest Of horses when he is
thrown with band of his kind that
have been born and raised free of all
restraint. 1t is a well known fact that
the hardest one to "cut out" the lead
er Of them all in a mad race across
the prairie, is the old, gentle, well
broken saddle or work horse once he
gets a taste of such freedom.-Wnl G.

HOWL AGAINST LIFTING PHILIPPINE
TARIFF NONSENSE, SAYS Smith, GOV. GEN.

SAN FRANCISCO, July q Cen
ofai James Francis Smith. goyornor
general of the Philippines, thinks
that the opposition N this country
to removing the Philippine tariff Ia
all nonsense.

few days ago. Tho General had
just returned from the Philippines,
and was stopping Ia this city on
route to Washington
THE one important question
from the Philippine standpoint 10
the tariff said the General THE
Payne bin provides for free trade
between tho Philippines aud the
United States, and that would DO
the greatest benefit the Islands
could receive.
In the face u tho fact that tho
United States never has produced

up the tariff bars against the Philip,
pine sugar Trade with tho Sand.
Wleh Islands, Porto Rico. aud Cuba
has been foatofod; that with tho
Philippines dnea not seem TO meet
with favor Just why Il IL difficult
to understand. In a. much AZ the
country IL as responsible for the
Philippines as Il Ia Tor Porto Rico
or the sanwloh Islands. and more
50 than II Is Tor Cuba.
The production OF sugar In tho
Philippines has fallen 10 only about
tit.0o0 touA. because OF tho lack Of
announcement which FREE trade
would supply"
How about toharcoY'
The annual production In the
United States falls OF meeting tho

seems 10 me Il results from fear
based on lack Of knowledge rather
than on sound reason. The senil'
