American tourists when they visit

MATCHING PEARLS.
orientaIs Believe In Sex and Affinit,

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
of married bliss. Among the hereditary
jewellers of the Persian court 1t is an
article Of faith that pearls have sex
and that every one has its 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 langujsh
and lose luster; hence the desire to
match pearls which has led to such ax-
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
all 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 that
the first whisper of coming misfortune
for the beautiful Empress Eugenie
arose when the news was spread
abroad that her pearls were spotted
and crumbling away OF 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 jewellers 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 th"t
persistent searching generally discov.
ers that all pearls have doubles In size,
luster and weight-New York Sun.

OUR USELESS BUFFAL0ES.

land, over which the buffalo "roamed
in countless thousands" became fit for
settlement the buffalo was decidedly

Very little of him was fit to eat He
was worth bullet when there was no
