His Own Bills.

Butchers are not generally credited with an especially sensitive tempera ment, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be ex' traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion Above the cashiers window he has hung this sign:
 If prices are high don't blame me They have hit me, too. Here Is the meat bill of my own family. Read It." Then follows an itemized ac. count of the chops, steaks. roasts and cats meat consumed by the butchers dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently altitudinous to appease the most disgruntled cus- toners. and they settle their own bille with good grace.

Pearls in River CLANS.
From Leslie's


The clam fishing industry has become
one Of the most prominent Industries on
the Illinois river. Passing over the upper
bridge at Peoria, on q bright sunny day,
one may see the whole Of Peoria lake
dotted with the boats OF the clam fish
ers. They do not depend entirely on the
value of the CLAIMS for their livelihood.
but they take a gamblers chance on find
ing a valuable pearl secreted In one OF
the shells.
Here each clam is opened and the shells
are thrown In a pile ready for the buyer
The men crush the meat OF each clam In
their search for pearls. which are gen.
orally found in the necks OF the CLAIMS.
The little pearls and the slugs are used
In pearl necklaces and bring from s. to
IS an ounce.
A pearl found in . dead clam Is of no
value whatever It Is OF interest to
know that there are pearls In all crippled
clans. and these pearls are Of the great
est value as rule. In the clam fisher S
camp, one can always sell a crippled clam
unopened for IS.
Pearls valued at 81. 900 have lately been
found In the Illinois river at Peoria. Some
rnen make q life business of hunting for
them. One man secured only wooden
bucket OF CLAIMS, and on opening them
found a 81 GOO pearl.
