found in Europe and many in this
country. Some of the genus unto pro-
duce fine pearls and of these many
valuable ones have been found by the
pearl fishers of the Ohio and the lower
Wabash. 1t is well known that pearls
which are a form of carbonate of lime,
require light and air to retain their
luster and when laid away in the
dark for any length of time may not
only become dim but may fall into
powder.
Many of the pearls worn by the
Romanians were obtained in Britain.
Suetonius says pearls were a chief In
ducement of the expedition of julius
Caesar to that country. They are still
found in the mussels of Scotch and
Welsh rivers. 1t is set forth that this
bivalve mollusk, which abounds in the
salt waters of Europe is edible In
New England sea water mussels are
sometimes eaten, but in many cases
their use as food is followed by severe
sickness.

Each man in time has one great day,
One day that mounts in bliss DER all
Each man, at labor or at play,
Hears soon or late some purpose

Is more man than ever before.

The will that lifts him more and

Slow circling to her bourne of rest,
Sweeps down from azure skies above
To fold white pinions on my breast.
