THE SMILE IN THE MIRROR.


The world is like a looking-glass;

you frown, it frowns.
You may hear it said that one OF
the conditions Of life you cannot make
or alter is environment-that it is
fixed, infiexible, and that you are
helplessing bound by It. This is moi
true.
He who thinks the world full OF
good people and kindly blessings la

contrary
Each mans Imagination largely
peoples the world for himself. Some
live in a world peopled with princes
of the royal blood; others, in the
same environment, move in a world

The difference is all in the mental at

Some years ago. when the capital of

amusing experience when he wished
to obtain a bath. There was no bath

that 1t was possible to purchase baths
at the hospital.
Accordingly the travellers repaired to

MATCHING PEARLS.
oricntaIs Believe In Sex and Affinity
In the Gems.

Most brides are partial to pearls. and
In some eastern countries no other
jewels are. allowed to figure among the
bridal ornaments.
In Persia the notion prevails that
the pearls themselves are susceptible
or married bliss. Among the heredita ry
jewelers. Of the Persian court II Is an
article Of faith that pearls have sex
and that every one has It's mate Its
equal In size and beauty. The surest
way to avoid the dreaded pearl disease
Is. to mount the pearls In pairs. If de
prived OF their mates they anguish
and lose luster; hence the desire to
match pearls which has led to such ex
travagance.
1t Is said that the great glory Of the
ropes OF pearls given to Queen Alex
andra by some Of the princes OF India
was the perfect matching of almost
nll OF the pearls. Thus the eastern
experts believed they were assuring
long life for these jewels. 1t Is believed
to foretell misfortune for the owner Of
pearls when they contract the pearl
disease.
Some readers may remember thai
the first whisper of coming misfortune
for the beautiful Empress Eugene
arose when the news was spread
abroad that her pearls were spotted
and crumbling away. or course. the
French jewelers. would have derided
the eastern notion of sex and affinity
In pearls, but the keepers of the shah's
jewels believe in 1t. and they have
preserved many Of the crown jewels
for centuries. Modern jewelers. are al
ways on the lookout for opportunities
Of matching pearls. You do not find
them so anxious to match diamonds
or rubies. And 1t is curious that
persistent searching generally discov.
ers that all pearls have doubles in size,
luster and weight.-New York Sun.
