The Venezuelan fisheries produce annually

Many of the worlds most beautiful gems have
come from that country, and 1t is said that In
1879 King Philip of Spain obtained from near
Margarita island a pearl weighing $50 carats,
which variously estimated to be worth from
$4,000 to 100000 The most perfect pearl in
the world is said to be La Pellegrina.' rare

worlds largest pearl is in the Hope collection
in the Victoria and Albert museum, London. 1t
weighs three ounces and has circumference
of AZ inches.
One of the worlds leading authorities on pearls
is DIR. George F. Kunz. According to a recent
writer. the former says that pearl Of the finest
grade should have "a perfect skim fine orient
delicate texture, be free from specks or naws,
and be of translucent white color, with sub.

other articles representing the stock

grocer and customer. The grocer bore
the name of Mr.. Popcorn.

you any rabbits this morning.
''Yes'm," answered the polite grocer.
Are they nice and fresh?"
"Yes'm."
Then you may give me a good, big
fat one for Is cents"
During a lull in the grocery trans
actions Aunt Mary gave each OF the
visitors two cents-two cents In real
money.
And what are you going to do with
the money!" asked Aunt Mary.
I'm going to put my two pennies In
the bank" said Helen.
And l." said John, I'll buy candy

Ancient Artisans in Africa.

The question has often been asked:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
ton Of the area in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man W. H.
Beech reports that in the kikuyu coun-
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of a people called Gum
ba, who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be-
lfeved to be earth gnomes, skilled in
the art OF iron working. Mr.. Beech,
with some amount of plausibility, sug-
gests that they were possibly bush
men, pygmies, or both, and that they
were local indigenous race OF the
stone age who used flint instruments
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art of smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery of iron was made in
Africa.
