Attorney General Wickersham is
not alone in his opinion that the wreck
less issuing of railroad stocks is as
demoralizing to the public as lotteries
He argues for federal control It is
up to the railroads to decide whether
it shall be federal control or federal
ownership
There is a strong sentiment
forming in this state for the nom
ination of W E Andrews for gov
ernor by the Republicans He suits
the Advocate to a T We have
known him ever since he has been
in the state and he is one man who
has never gone wrong in politics or
otherwise He is free from any of
the factional fights in this state
and ought to make a strong candi

Whether Hon W E Andrews de
sires the nomination for governor on
the Republican ticket or not he will
be complimented upon the warm and
spontaneous support given him by
his consistent friends among the Re

A Difficult Task That Calls For
Skill and Judgment
CORDED ON SURGEONS SILK
A Soft Round Strand of Pure White
Woven Thread Is Employed and an
Intricate System of Knotting Guards
the Gems Should the String Break
Every now and then a story is print
ed about the loss of a valuable string
of pearls through the breaking of the
cord on which they were hang and
their slipping off and scattering over
the floor or sidewalk Those who
know anything about the stringing of
pearls however always read these
tales with incredulity because nowa
days as a general thing only false
pearls or those of small price are
strung without a knot being tied be
tween each of them so that if the
rord breaks no more than one can fall
off
It is common belief thatbecause of
their great value pearls are strung on
something durable like catgut or wire
As a matter of fact such material is
never employed There is no beauty
to a string of pearls that looks wiry
or stiff It must be flexible to the
highest degree otherwise all its grace
ful effect will be lost Dp to the time
ot the introduction of surgeons silk
tor pearl stringing nothing had been
found that would absolutely meet the
requirements of strength and flexi
bility
That the most valuable pearls are to
day struug on cords of surgeons silk
is due to the suggestion of a woman
employee of a New York jewelry
bouse
Surgeons silk the thread that is
used for sewing up cuts and wounds
is a soft round strand of pure white
silk which is woven not twisted The
weave when viewed under a magui
tying glass closely resembles that of
Hue silk braid and is capable of only
a small degree of expansion This
thread is produced in several diam
eters or grades which makes it all the
more desirable for pearl stringing
These are numbered instead of being
lettered like ordinary sewing silk and
are wound on small cards like darning
cotton
When the young womans idea was
first adopted it seemed as though it
would prove impracticable owing to
tbp quantity of surgeons silk manu
factured being insufficient to meet the
uew demands from the jewelers It
was also very expensive But fhe idea
was such a good one and the surgeons
silk was so much superior to anything
ever tried before that in time it was
found possible to secure it in sufficient
quantities and at wholesale prices
J he principal safeguard against loss
however is in the method of string
ing An intricate system of knotting
the thread between each pearl is em
ployed This prevents the escape ot
more than one jewel should the thread
break This knotting is done with
tweezers and is a task that requires
sreat skill There must be no unsight
ly gaps between the knots and the
pearls and the whole when finished
must be immaculate in its whiteness
The tiny knots instead of detracting
from the beauty of the necklace en
hance it for they look like seed pearls
alternating with the larger ones Knot
ting lengthens the necklace also and
is often resorted to for that purpose
When a strand of a certain length is
desired and the number of large pearls
is not sufficient imitation pearls of the
exact size and color are often substi
tuted Some of these imitations will
deceive the eye of any but the most
expert
It often happens that the largest
pearls have the smallest holes drilled
through tbpiu for every grain that is
taken from the pearl reduces it in
weight In such cases however the
risk of the cord breaking is increased
owing to the slenderness of the thread
and the sharp edges of the pearls cut
ting through it quickly
Stringing pearls is never done with
a needle A needle is not yielding
enough to pass through very small
holes and the doubling of its diameter
at the eye makes its ue impracticable
Therefore the end of the thread is
sharpened to a very fine point which
is waxed stifDy enough to be used ex
actly as a needle would be
Ordinarily pearl stringing is me
chanically difficult and also requires
taste and judgment The pearls may
have to be rearranged in order to im
prove their general appearance in
the laying out of collarets especially
a great deal of skill is required in
the first place the collaret must fit
exactly This seems comparatively
wisy but it is not A pattern is al
ways fitted beforehand but it is rare
ly the case that the result is satisfac
tory the first time Some necks re
quire straight collars and others
slightly curved The same care is giv
en to the fitting of a collaret as to the
set ot an expensive gown and it has
to be tried on and changed and ad
justed as many times
Dividers are used to gauge the exact
position in which the vertical diamond
bars that support the strands of pearls
should be placed Endless care and
judgment may be given to laying out
the pattern for one of these baubles
and getting the measurements abso
lutely exact but when it comes to be
fitted there is sure to be trouble It
may be too tight at the bottom and
too loose at the top or perhaps the
ends may not even meet at all Thad

several that are exclusive
And with all these added advantages over all other utensils 1892 Pure Spun Alumi
It isnt all in the knack The utensils you use go a long way toward making your
food fine and appetizing or ill cooked and indigestible
Its impossible to make the best cookery in utensils that quickly scorch or crack and
scale off rust and corrode And such utensils are dangerous Authorities say that
cancer comes of eating particles of glass chipped off from ordinary enamel ware when hot
The heat expands the iron frame but the coating of glass which is all enamel ware is
does not expand so fast consequently it breaks and gets mixed with the food
There is no such danger -from food cooked in up-to-date
num Ware costs but a trifle more
Look for the Maltese Cross on Every Piece
It is for your protection and benefit Its a guarantee that you are getting the genuine
and only original 1892 Pure Spun Aluminum
