In a Pearl Factory.
The pale, bent workmen were, most
of them, drilling costly pearls, but
here a man in kid gloves performed
the operation of skinning, the opera
tlon of removing a pearl's outer, (lis
colored coat so as to give it again its
original luster, and by the window an
other man shook industriously three
pearls in a bottle.
"It Is a secret of the trade, of the
pearl driller's trade," he said, "this
bottle-shaking. You see, in pearl drill
ing, a drill point often breaks off in a
pearl, and to get it out may take a
whole dixy's work that is, if you don't
know the secret."
He looked closely at the bottom of
the glass bottle, and then, continuing
his shaking, he resumed:
"Hut if you put your pearl in a bot
tle and shake it up, the drill point in
a few minutes will fall out of itself
Look! There's another out already.

sit Ion or shay which he wrote; dis
couraged his attempt to make some
little nitvhaaleal device, or threw a
wet blanket on bis dreams, laughing at
his prediction of what he would do in
the future, writes Orison Swett Mar
den in Su-c. ss Magazine.
A man who has recently come Into
great i ; eminence In his profession
says that wlnn. tremblingly, he told
his fattier what ho wanted to be, bo
was tol l that a padded cell was the
only plai i for a boy with such crazy
Ideas, and that he was forced for years
to do that which dud had forbidden In
every fiber of his being, and ngalnst
which every drop of blood In him pro
tested. The father who has made up his
mind that his son must continue his
business and keep his estate Intact, is
not in a position to decide on the boy's
bent his special aptitude. Ho is pre
judiced at the very outset.
, The reason why there are so many
''.k.;iocre men and women in tho world,
t.ad so many failures, Is because they
never found their right places.
Kvervw lu re we see men and wom
en, capable of much better things, who
wore discouraged and diverted from
their natural bent when young. Their
own families did not take stock In
them; they laughed at their young am
bitions, and strangled their aspira
tions, either by harsh treatment, or,
what is even worse, ridicule; and their
teachers did not understand them.
You cannot read the sealed message
which Ciod has wrapped up hi your
boy or girl, and you should regard It as
sacred. You should respect the dreams
of fill lire greatness of your son, be
cause the Creator may have inlende
him for a grand and far-reaching mis
sion. You cannot tell what Is going on
iu his mind: you cannot tell what pos
slbllltle.i are locked In his brain, lie
may be perfectly conscious at this mo
ment that he was intended for a much
higher place In tho world than you are
occupying yourself, and to denounce
him, to scoff at his dreams, to laugh at
his predictions for the future may be a
source of great humiliation to you
some day. It may also work incalcula
ble Injury to your boy. A thousand
times better strike lit :n wlih your hand
than blast his hopes by ridicule, or by

Flower Dances for Children.
French mothers have been showing
unwonted Ingenuity this winter in
Jrpsslns their darlings for the popular
flower dances which are now the fash
ion for Juvenile society and carry all
before them. Generally a number of
blooms are selected, and these ar
called bouquet parties. The charm of
thesn parties Is that the little people
are well suited to represent flowers
farlslan society has gone daft over
some of the designs and also th
beauty of some of the children. Thelt
dresses are floral, cf course. Trails
of blooms are draped together from
the waists, tho ends floating on tho
airy skirts, or loose petals are scat
tered nil over the material. I'.ut thli
gives little Idea of the chic and tho
detail of the dress or of the human
floweret that carries it off. Nothlns
has so lilt the French taste as these
flower dances, nnd many of tho elder
spectators have grown quite seutt
mental about them.

Collar Button Defender.
The collar button has been libeled
Since It first came Into being It has
provided the writers of Jokes for the
comic papers with a large share ot
their material. That it possessed 8
remarkable tendency toward losing It
self has been accepted almost as an
axiom.
Pacts have come to light which
ehow that tho collar button has been
mnllened. A man In the employ of th
Burlington railroad has worn one col
lar button for 28 years. It has slues
bv hi m without any undue precautions
against loss and has never shown a
tendency to wander.
This man says he has always treat
ed his collar button kindly, hns never
sworn at It nor blamed It for his own
faults. Ills Idea Is that if mankind ac
cords due respect to the collar button
it will reciprocate.

"How so?" asked his companion,

"Because of tho various pronuncla

day I heard distinctly four different
methods of pronouncing tho word
mercy. It took me some time to fig
uro them all out, but I happened to
know tho line 'Ird, have raercy upon

'molcy,' and they seemed to be In tha
majority; others ang 'murcy' with all

In; still there was some one, a so
prano who pronounced It as if It were
spelled with a double e, 'meercy.' and
some one gave It a French finish and
I said 'mercay.' Now I don't doubt that
