George W. Greig. the well known

turned from New York and other east

purchases for his spring line of attire
for Wheelingites.

heavy advance i'm the price of woolens.
This has resulted in higher costs
for the manufacturer of clothing. ana
naturally higher prices paid by the
retail clothing men. but the advance
has not been sufficient as yet for the
consumer-the buyer OF clothes-to
be affected. The clothing mar who Is

more for their goods. But, as | aid

The correct way to increase the pro-
ductivity of the memory is to link cv-
cry new thing with All understood
thought already in hand. Merely to
memorize the Bible and thus to be
able parrot-like to speak 1t "by heart
is not memory. Intellectually and emo
tlOnally to appreciate and understand
one psalm or proverb IS memory. To
know where to put your finger on the
right verse or passage Of the Bible on
your table Is practical and useful rec
objection. Dictionaries, directories, en-
cyclopedias. indexes and reference
books do the mechanical part for you.
Reason. association. adaptnbility and
the perception Of relationships are bet
ter than much Latin and more Greek,
however beautiful and instructive these
may be IN themselves.

Yes, your check for Ego. You say
you are willing to give that, and for

then wrote check for the sum nam

in his pocketbooS. and then quietly
dropped into the liIIil a pinch Of com.

separated. and whether the client was
satisfied or not, he had got what he
wanted, and he had paid his own price

world,s Oldest Industry.

The. pearl fisheries Of Ceylon are said
to be the oldest industry in the world.
For ofer 1900 years the pearl oyster
harvest, has been gathered by the ma
tives; who. skilled IN diving, have hand
ed down the industry from one genera
tion to the next. Pearl fishing in Ccy
Ion to-day is somewhat Of a speculation.
The greatest care is taken lest when
the shells Of the bivalves arc opened
any Of. the precious gems be lost or
stolen. A very strict watch is kept
over the natives who are employed III
this kind Of work, but in spite Of the
greatest precautions some of the small
er stones are frequently concealed. The
refuse from the shells is very carefully
.examineGs subsequent to this first ex-
animation. Even the dried dust Of the
oyster is carefully sifted.
