It would sown ns though the euro of a string o penrls was a very slmpTo matter ! nnd yet how often It la that wo hear the possessors of these precious gems bewailing eomo mlsfortuno that has happened tc them , "Naturally , I waa three-quarters of ar hour late to dinner the other evening , " one woman anld , "my string of pearls broke Jusl as I waa clasping It around my neck. " "The being late Is Immaterial , but did you nnd them all ? " she waa assured and questioned. "No , " the grieved speaker continued , "thcro wore seventy-thrco on my string and llvo of them have ( slipped away ; I feai never to bo recovered , ns every crovlco nod spot In the room hna apparently boon searched Into. Perhaps I have been a little careless about having thorn restrung oftcr enough , " As a fact , pearls should bo unfailingly re- strung every three months or they cannot bo worn with any amount of security. The A DECORATED COVERT COAT. tooavy ellkcn cord that la generally' used with which to string them , appears to bo the only thing that will glvo them too suppleness - ness which adds BO much to their charm ; and It Is only when this cord Is new that 'it Is equal to the not Inconsiderable weight of the poarls. As soon as , In places , It 'begins ' to fray , It Is only a question of time before ono of these weak epots will break and let fall a shower of the precious stones. Slnco the very strong strings have been worn this accident has not been an unfro- quont occurrence In ballrooms , and lost winter a tremendous commotion "was caused In the hallway of the Now York opera house , simply by the breaking of ono of thc 9 silken cords. As a precaution and to keep them from swinging , many women when dancing fasten their pearls to the front of their bodices with a brooch , or If the string is long enough they wind them about their wrists. It Is a moat reckless habit to nervously twirl them about the fingers and to make a plaything of them , for it must necessarily hasten the fraying of the cord. The coet of having a string of perhaps flfty pearl's reetrung at a reliable house is about 75 cento or $1 , and surely consid ering the comfort it brings the money is well expended. WIFE OF OOM PAUL. lltmlmiid Worth 923,000,0001 She noes the Cooking ; mill Mule en the lleiln. Mrs. Kruger , wife of the president of the Transvaal republic , IB unhandsome , reports the Philadelphia Press. She la also economical , though her fa mous husband has A capital of $25,000,000. She Is BO rich that it would take tbo greatest effort to upend their Income , In vested , aa tha capital is , In great paying in terests. To do tills eho would have to live In almost barbaric splendor , but , 'bless ' you , Eho oven docs her own cooking. It Is iprobable that her acute , subtlehus - tmnd approves of her style of living. If ho objects no ono returning from that ( ar land has over heard of it. It is more than probable that by Just such thrifty methods 'Mr. Kruger himself rose into his present eminence. Dut think of 111 The Income of $25,000,000 and to do one's own cooking ! To ifusa and furao and fret and stew over a boiling steve In a hot , hot land rather than spend the money on a maldt And not only to cook , for It Is whispered and loudly in tourist nnd English circles in Africa that she very often takes a hand in ( he washing and that aha scrubs and rolls the clothes with the skill and strength of the best of them. She also Insists upon making her own beds. This may bo 'because ' "tho Kruger" nosds an untroubled pillow , a sheet without n wrinkle , to cose him from the arduous duties of scheming to make empires and millions , but If eho doca the rest of the bard work It is probable she makes the bed also to save the penny or whatever the tnoney is in that land. When her husband has state guests to dinner this Is , Indeed , the time the good woman shines ; here she shows tbo' stuff of Bold by Flrot Clan * Btove IVlerchuntB Everywhere , For mile liy Mlltou Ilojtrr * < fc Son , 1-ltu and Furmiiu Him , which eho Is irmOo and docs honor to her millions and her position as wife of the president. Not at the foot or the head of the table , but in passing the dishes. To no butler will she ever trust so great a responsibility. Thcro might .bo a slip , a mishap , that she oould not guard against. So , shining and splendid , with large , white apron over her capacious form , she waits on each guest. " " "no hostess can "Suroly , she argues , take care of a guest better than this. " Every plato Is then heaped to perfection , each glasa kept filled to the brim , no slight est wish from any one goes unnoticed. If any ono Is rash enough to extol to "Auntlo" Kruger , as evcryono calla her , the glories of her wealth and the Immense amount of monthly pocket money she has to control she will tell that person a secret , ono of which she Is proud , ono In which eho glories. It la this : That she nncl the president have never lived beyond their "cofleo money. " And that amounts to $2,000 a year allowed them by the govcrnmentl _ So , you see , they never touch the other great capital , never put their hands on the Income of ono of the greatest fortunes In the world I "Whoro It will all go no ono knows. Llko many ether great millionaires , Oem Paul .may leave it to persons "who " 711 enjoy throwing It away on all unworthy subjects that como under their notice. PLUCKY AMERICAN ARTIST. Secured In France Privileges Denied to Native "Women. Mrs. iHutchlneon la a young American artist who , having studied ana worked In her natlvo land for ten years , went to Paris to find out what rank her work would take when brought into competition with that done in the great art center of the world. She first worked In the Jullon studios for five months , relates Harper's Bazar , but her great desire was to copy In the national factory at Sevres. To her dismay she 'found It was an unheard-of thing for oven French people to bo accorded such a privilege. Her work had been Been , however , by a man who at once recognized her ability , and he made n few suggestions whereby he thought she might attain herwlsh. _ Following this friendly advice she finally received the de sired permission , but with the understanding that she should work in some out-of-tho-way corner where the fact would not become known to a curious public She was thus Installed in the ofllce of the conservator of the museum , himself an artist , whose many hints and criticisms proved invaluable to her. In the flrst few weeks he often asked her why she washed out her work so often , why she did not let pass the slight difference between it and her model It would never be noticed ; to which ehe always replied that as she had gained admission to copy , hers must bo facsimiles. Seeing that as she was not to bo discouraged and was undaunted by hard work , this gentleman began to take an Inter est In her and as a peculiar mark of approba tion she -was presented with half a dozen pieces of undecorated Sevres porcelain , which she had the pleasure and advantage of decorating there , nnd which she now treasures as ( her most valuable possessions. So far Mrs. Hutchinson is the only artist In this country to decorate little .bite of enamel to too used for pins and rings ; such work has to be done with the aid of a mag nifying glass and , when flnUhed , very much resembles the delicate white figures of the cameo. The firing of some of this delicate work has led to her making the acquaint ance of an old Frenchman , who la the best onamoler In this country , having a knowl edge of peculiar tinting which renders him. an autocrat in Ills line. Ho has always re fused to teach any ono ; no apprentice , no matter how largo a sum ho offered , could ever secure a foothold in that workshop. While Mrs. Hutchinson would , ho waiting for Eomo of her work to bo fired she kept her eyes open , with the result that one day she asked the old fellow to let her help him. Ho refused point blank , but she tactfully Insisted , until ho finally allowed her to try , beginning to glvo her Instructions , etc. She out him ehort by asking if ho thought she had spent BO many hours1 there without learning some of his secrets. The outcome of It all Is that this skillful artist has been at work In a shop where the thermometer stands at from. 100 to 110 degrees all through the summer , and having gnlnedi the old man's respect toy her quickness and perse verance , Is now able to enamel the finest watch or other Jewelry in a way known hero only by her master. But the most amazing result Is that she , an American artUt , educated In America and living la America , should be asked to work for ono otC the leading china factories of Franco. She waa first asked to do a figure piece suitable for plato decoration ; this was submitted , wjth her name at ono side of the plate , and now thla pattern has been dupli cated to cell at $25 apiece. Since then other orders have como to her and now she Is en gaged upon six border patterns , which are to be ready for delivery in time for the coming holiday trade. WOMEN AS INVENTORS. AVIiln Itanire of Uxeful Patents Sccareil liy Them. Up to ton years ago women had contrib uted but slightly to the sum total of inven tions recorded at Washington. A woman's name did not appear in the 11st of patents granted moro than three or four times a year. Today there la scarcely a page of the oniclol list of patents which docs not record some woman's success In this line of effort. In addition to tliose on record , nays the Now York Post , there ere each year an increasing number of successful women Inventors whose Inventions are not patented in their own names , but bought outright by manufactur ing and business firms , who themselves secure - cure the patent. Now toys , games , puzzles , articles classified as novelties , medical appli ances and dross and household facilities are eomo of the popular Inventions bought up by buslnees firms , the Inventors being glad to dispose ol their rights for a fair sum. It sometimes happens that a woman em ploye of a manufacturing or mercantile house Invents some Improvements on the machinery and methods In use by the firm. She shows the model or drawing to the manager , who makes the firm acquainted with Its merits , end tbej- arrange with the inventor for the exclusive use of the Improvement , The In ventor goes on quietly with her every-day work in the bill , and the public never hears of her achievement ; but , encouraged by that success , she continues her experiments and keeps on the lookout for further Invention. A woman clerk in a New York store In vented lately a parcel-delivery system , which netted her substantial returns. One Now England mill owner , herself an Inventor , enJoys - Joys the night to several patents that repre sent the Ingenuity of the women operators In her employ , She chares profits with the Inventors , and one of the devices , flrst used In this mill , brings In over 120,000 a year , Men acquainted with the field say that fully 100 of the patents token out by women within the lost flvo years are yielding un usually largo returns to the inventors , and that others not yet put on the market are destined to bo equally successful , A law of contrariety seems to govern the chancco In the matter notwithstanding , for while many of the tent patents those that chow real gcnlua and knowledge In the Inventor bring In only email returns , others , seemingly trivial , make the Inventor rich. The woman who Invented satchel-bottomed paper bags , -for Instance , was offered $20,000 for the pat ent before she left Washington. A simple glove buttoner Is yielding the woman In ventor $5,000 a year. A patented adjustable waist supporter has made the inventor Inde pendent. A dovJco for opening letters has proved exceedingly proBtable , and the young woman from Georgia who Invented a con venient traveling .bag lias mode money enough to set herself up In business. The northwest , the onldiJlo and eastern statca have produced the most active women InventM-s. The south is ibehlnd In this re gard , although the ifov women from that section who have unado Inventions have been successful. Their Inventions are usually In very practical lines. An Alabama woman farmer has invented Into Important aids to agriculture. A North Carolina working woman has had success with a culinary In vention , nnd a Florida woman has patented n useful caHhcaUng appurtenance , while a Texas woman has patented a novel folding tent , nnd another southern woman a finger- exorcising device of value to musicians. A unlquo .method of desulphurizing ores Is the Invention of a California woman , nnd an other western woman has ipatentod several Inventions relating to Irrigation. It Is noticeable that the women Inventors registered from the larger cities of the country thavo almost invariably patented articles pertaining to the elegancies of dross and household furnishing , while in- ventlvo fatuity in the country districts- and villages has been directed to conveniences nnd labor-saving devices In similar lines. Wcimon frcim the big cities have invented unlquo dress-drafting patterns , novel ways for adjusting portieres and curtains and pat ents relatlnig to the various fields of art and the manufacture of artistic goods. City women have also devised and secured pat ents on numerous articles for clerical use , safety envelopes , Improved typewriting ap pliances , copy'holdtars ' , etc. , as well ns con veniences for the artist and musician. A number of 'women scshool teachers are successful Inventors and have patented irnoro or less valuable educational methods and devices ; also kindergarten devices and articles of school room furniture , desks , book rests , blackboard ) erasers , school bags , etc. . Women from the small towns In Wls- A WINTER HOUSE DRESS. cousin , Minnesota , Dakota and Illinois have been prolific In dnventiono relating to the "household " arts , .washing and cleaning appa- ratua , facilities ifor eanltatlon , garment bindings , protectors , ehldda , waist/bands / , supporters , fastenings , etc. They have In vented butterworkers , plumbing appliances , dlsfh-washonB , brushes for cleaning uphol stery , and ccimpceltlons for kindling fires and scores of articles calculated' ' to lighten the burden of the housekeeper In kitchen and pantry. Now England women have In vented many conveniences lor factory use , and a number of practical attachments and Improvements that have to do with har nesses and vcW'cles ' and the various needs of the barn ondi garden. AI1IS WOMKX TO WI5AH WIGS ? Fuiklon'n Latest Decree from Purls ClllINCUl l - IIlllllllCHN. It Is with pain and dismay that wo learn from an alleged scientific comment on the caurso of tine fashions that wo are approach ing an era of feminine wigs , exclaims the Pittaburg Dispatch. The assertion la backed by a report oj > wigs worn by the smart women df Paris , but the explanation of the coming misfortune to the line of coiffures oredlta It to n , moro obvious relation or cause and cffoct than can bo generally dis covered in feminine ( fashions. The explanation la briefly that In the past fashion's crJmpIng-lrona and curling-tongs /produce / wavy and romantic locks dam aged the vitality of the ( hair. Then the pompadour roll strained it back until nature proceeded to revenge herself by pro ducing nice little bare spota on the heads of fashionable women. After which , when the coming fashionable effect requires more hair than the fomlnlno head' ' Is able to fur nish , recourse must be had to the. hair of commerce 'to supply the lack. If fashion calls for wigs , wigs will bo worn , We can sot ithat down aa settled by the testimony of the centuries ns to foml- nlno fidelity to the fashions. Nevertheless , wo would urge upon the 'better ' half at society to take this eolentino faohlonable prediction in the light of a warning rather than a chart. Dear women , preserve your hair. If you must wear wigs , you \ > m atlll be the mistress of masculine affections years , the belle of Bristol. "KATI3 Flll ) | A HECOIin.

A book calculated to be of interest to all sorts and conditions of Americans , says the Boston Globe , will be the Ufa story of Kate Held , told by her most Intimate friend and correspondent , Lilian Whiting , and which will probably appear next month. Miss Whiting Is qualified for her work , on account of her affection for the subject of her etory. In connection with this long and tender friendship Miss Whiting recently said : "Even as a child my Imagination was captivated by the piquant style of Kate Field's Journalistic letters from abroad , and so nil through my early girlhood I thought of her In fact , she dominated my llfo moro than any other one Influence. "My flrst meeting with her was really a sort of experimental Interview , upon my entrance Into Journalistic work , In 1SSO. I remember well how frightened I was upon approaching the house where she was at that time a guest , on Deacon street , over looking the Charles river. "But here klndntaa and charm put me quite at my ease and hcn I left she kissed me goodby at the door and asked mo to como and eo her when she was again in Boston. Soon afterward , I don't know how , our cor respondence began , and It wan almost a daily ono until hbr departure for Honolulu , when It was Interrupted by Infrequent malls , "Had I known , during all these years , thnl I was to ono day wrlto her biography , I could hardly have prepared more fully for the work than I was thus unconsciously led to do , " The title ot the book \U1I bo elmply : "Kato Field ; a Record.

Prom 1819 , the year of the pnssago by con gress of the law for the registration of 1m- imlgranta arriving In the United States , until the present time , thcro have boon L w 9 * < t > THE HIGH VELVET CROWN. IS.500,000 Immigrants registered in the vari ous ports of the country , and of these , tak ing the average through the whole course of years , 60 per cent wore men and 40 per cent women , a disparity representing a total difference of nearly 3,700,000. It has frequently been pointed out as a matter of Interest and Importance , says tire New York Sun , that the proportion of male Immigrants Is highest whore such Immigra tion Is least desirable , particularly in the ease of Chinese and Sicilians , whllo It Is lowest among the Germans and Irish. The reasons assigned for rtJhls disparity have been many. Among them have been the perils and Inconvenlencea of a residence on the frontier before the complete settlement of the country , emigration from con tinental countries to escape conscrip tion In European armies , the danger and discomfort of ocean travel before - fore the establishment at fast and commo dious steamers , and the natural reluctance of women to seek homes In new lands. It has popularly been supoposed , however , that as these reasons for the excess of male Immi gration either disappeared or were dimin ished the total of the two sexes would be moro nearly even , a conclusion which the tables Just published by the Immigration bureau in Washington for the year ending March 1 , 1899 , coimplotely overthrow. During Iho year the actual number of im migrants coming Into the United States was 310,000 , an Increase of 80,000 compared w 1th a year ago. According to the ordinary division between male and female immi grants there should ) have been 180,000 of the former and 124,000 of the later. Instead ot this there were 193,277 male immigrants , or moro than 60 per cent , nnd 117,438 female Immigrants , less than 40 per cent. From England there were 6,700 male and 4,000 fe male Immigrants , about the average ratio ; from Germany 14,700 male and 11,800 female Immigrants , lees than the average number ; fem Scandinavia there were 12,747 male and 10,502 female immigrants , nnd from Finland , a country from 'which there has been re cently extensive emigration to the United States In consequence ot the serious conflicts between the Russian govern/ment / and the Flnna , 3,900 males and 2,100 female Imml- ® ranta camo. From two countries female immigration to the United States preponder ates , Ireland nnd Befcoinla. Thcro were last year 13,700 male and 18,600 foaialo immi grants from Ireland , and froim Bohemia the number of male and female torn 1 gran Is was almost Identical , 1,262 of the former and 1,204 of thelabter. . The long-disputed question among Immi grant officials as to the designation to be given to Polish Hebrew Immigrants , whether they should bo described as Polish or under the head of German , Russian or Austrian Immigrants , as the case might be , ihaa been settled by the adoption of a generic term for all such Immigrants , the word Hebrew. There .were 21,000 male and 16,000 female Hebrew Immigrants lost year. From Rus sian Poland there were in addition 18,000 mala and 10,000 female immigrants , whifo from Italy , now the chief contributing coun try to the flow of Immigration Into the United States , there were 52,000 male and 23,000 female Immigrants. Italian Immigra tion Is very largely responsible for the dis parity of the sexes In the matter of Immi gration. Twice as many male Syrians as female Syrians came over last year and flvo times as many male Slavonians. There were 2,200 male Greeks and only 132 female , but the record of all other countries Is dis tanced by China , 1,67 mate Immigrants and 11 female Immigrants only. Cuban immigration to the United States last year was 1,400 , including 1,100 male and 300 female Immigrants. From Hawaii there were tnoro women than male immigrants , though the num'ber ' of either was not largo , and from Japan there came 3,175 male Im migrants and 275 femalo.
