Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties of so-called pearls there are at times small dark grey or blackish pearls, which are more or less flattened and lack the Jet black luster and perfect shape of the so-called black pearls. These are true pearls. probably secured from pin na shell, and possess some small value. They may be easily distinguished from the false pearls by their color and shape. Very small round pearls of a golden luster are secured from a small avicula that has a beautiful golden iuster on the inside. The avicula shell is usually less than six centimeters in diameter, and have never seen pearl produced by this shell that was larger than No. 6 shot. The big, perfectly round yellow pearls offered for sale are usually frauds.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

'In Chicago we hear much about personal liberty" says MT. Fred Eber- ling, secretary of the Cooks union, Chicago, especially during campaigns. What do the brewers mean by per sonal liberty? The three big personal liberty gardens of this city have told the representatives of their employees that they will not deal with them ex- cept as individual employees while the brewers belong to the Chicago liquor trust, an organization which wages war against organized labor. When a license was refused to one of these beer gardens, the cry for person.. al liberty was heard from the big liquor combine, but when seven days per week workers make demand for union recognition these same people cry anarchists.
