A number of persons in Scotland
make a livelihood by searching for
the precious stones which are occa-
sionally to be found ensconced in the
interior of fresh-water mussels. To a
lesser extent 1t Is also carried out on
some English and Welsh streams. but
none of these Is so prolific In pearl
bearing as the northern rivers, says
the London Globe. There are anthem
tic records of Scotch pearls being
found which rivaled any the orient

and flawlessness are concerned. A
writer Of the eighteenth century states
that 100000 was a moderate estimate
Of the value Of pearls then fished an

is matter Of history that a German

According to government geologist

mite in this country is about 100000
100000 tons and Of "air-dry fuel" or
ready-to-burn peat. about 12,OO0.OOO,O 900
tons. So far Ignite and air-dry fuel
have been to large degree consid-
cred practically useless by-products of
nature. Careful experiments, how
ever. show that they are much better
than coal for use in connection with
gas engines, says the Chicago Journal.
Prof. Robert E. Fernald asserts that
the gas engine, the toy OF today"
will supersede the steam engine. Pro-
fessor Fernald is not a gas engine pro-
mOter. He Is scientist connected
with the geological survey. He as
serts further that the use of gas en-
gines. with the cheaper Ignite and dry
fuel instead Of coal. will mean a say
ing Of $1OO.OOOOOO to 100000, 900 in
the nations fuel bill each year. So
natures by-products, the waste" OF
today, may become the nations fuel

A knickerbocker Party.

A mother who was about to put her
small son into his first trousers con-
ceived the clever idea of holding a
party in his honor on the eventful day.
On her card she wrote: Come to
meet our little man Jack at three on
Saturday, September TO-"
The first game is for the amusement
of the children and is called "menag-
erie" A picture of an animal Is
pinned on the coat or dress Of each
as they pass in line. The leader
should be ten-year-old boy, who will
be able to manage better than a
younger child. He says he wishes to
catch a menagerie to 60 with circus.
and then the children scatter over the
house and grounds. making the noise
Of the animal they are supposed to
represent. All the animals must be
caught, and II they are especially
wary the hunter may employ those al
ready caught to help get the others.
When all are Gagged (placed in a
corner designated) he forms them
in line, two by two. and they march
around to the owner Of the circus,
who removes the animals
This is a lively game. keenly en-
joyed by all children. For favors have
little clowns and serve pink lemonade,

animal cookies; OF course have the

AZ EW YORK-That the music bill of
~ this city for the season will reach
S5.0O0,000, far exceeding any similar
expenditure on record here or abroad,
is ncw indicated by the preparations
under way for the greatest musical
season ever known.
Ten years ago the sum spent If this
way amounted to hardly more than
100000 What 1t will amount to
in another decade in view of the ever
increasing demand for music of every
character Is merely a matter of con-
lecture.

NEW ORLEANS.-J. Chung Lee. a
~ rich Chinese shrimp fisher and
owner of a store in this city. is a
prisoner here charged with holding
white men In bondage in Bayou Bara-
taria. once the refuge of Laf1tte and
his band. Tho federal officers who
arrested Lee brought with them nine
white men who will appear as wit
nesses. These men assert they were
shanghaied from a boarding house In
this city and taken to Manila, fish
ing village, and often forced to work
30 hours without rest. Once they
escaped and boarded a steamer but
were discovered and the captain re-
turned them to the shrimp fisheries. as
is the custom Of all gulf shipmasters
when refugees are discovered.
That such a condition could prevail

incredibility by those who know

CHOOSING Partners.

10 choose partners for a card party
or a cot1llion have small cakes baked
in what are called patty" cake tins
and Ice with pink for the unmarris
girls, with yellow for the men in the
same state of single blessedness;
with white for the married women and
green for the married men. In these
cakes put such tiny iavors as Thin
bles, duplicate notices, hooks and
eyes. keys, rings, etc. Then the man
who gets a key finds the person hav-
ing ring and they are mated, the girl
with a hook finds the man with an
eye, etc. This is great fun and is
adaptable to any game where q choice

City Spends Five Millions for Music

In spite of this great expenditure,
however, music has not yet become
generally popular form Of entertain
ment, as is indicated by the fact that
the greater part OF the s5,0000OO
which it is estimated will be spent in
five months for opera, symphony con-
certs and other forms of musical en-
tertainment will come from music
patrons numbering less than $4,000,
or less than one per cent, of the city's
total population. Probably not more
than one person in 500 ever attends
the opera. although concerts OF varl-
Gus sorts are more widely patronized.
Many of these concerts and rec1tals
fail to earn anything. In one case dur
ing the last musical season just ten
seats were sold for really meritori-
Gus concert Eventually. however,
the public foots the bill, but whether
it can really enjoy the s5,Ooo'ouo
worth of music which 1t will ABSORB
next season remains to be seen.

That's a pretty dear; now kiss
