KAHTAH is used In asking all questions

the same question, and the meaning
would be How did you do that?" AL
most any tnterrogatory idea can be ex-
uressed by KAHTAH, the definite
meaning being clear because Of the
other words and the conditions under
which the question Is asked.
KAHKWA.~-PronOun as II Is spelled,

Treating Sick Pearls.

DEARLS, the most capricious of all
n gems. are curiously susceptible to
adverse influences. they being affected
even by the physical condition of those
who wear them When q pearl be-
comse sick" or sad" 1t Is necessary
TO take measures to restore 1t 70 its
former luster and brilliancy. and this
Is done in a number of ways.
One method is TO boil the sick gem
in fresh cows milk in which soap has
been dissolved. When the gem has
been boiled for a period of about is
minutes, 1t Is taken out, rinsed in clean
water, and dried with a clean white
cloth. II the desired effect has not
then been obtained. the stone is again
subjected to the boiling process.
Sometimes when the above method
proves unsuccessful and the expert fears
to subject the gem to another boiling,
another curious method Is employed.
There is procured small loaf of bread.
in which. before the loaf Is baked, the
pearls are laid, strung upon q silk
thread, or they may be closely wrapped
allowed to bake thoroughly, but not TO
become brown. When the loaf Is taken
from the oven, it Is allowed to cool,
after which 1t is broken and the pearls
removed.
Pearls 10 be perfect must possess these
special qualifications: First, they must
be perfectly spherical. Just as though
they had been artiflcially fashioned; !;
secondly. they must be slightly trans
lucent and free from spots, specks and
blemishes, and thirdly, they should
have the peculiar luster characteristic
Of the gem.
