MAKING OF BOGUS PEARLS.
Most Extensively Imitated of All the
Precious Stones.
Among all precious stones few arc
so extensively imitated as tho pearl.
Tho real article is a silvery white.
Iridescent gem, ' extracted from the
pearl oyster. Tho genuine pearl Is
really an unfructlflod egg of tho oyster.
Its Imitation Is arrived at by a
chemical process. Tho liquid employ
ed In the manufacture is called "es
sence d'orlent." Tho baso of this
compound Is prepared by throwing in
to water of ammonia tho brilliant
scales of a small river fish called the
blay.
Tho scales are first carefully wash
ed and put to soak in water, when the
pearlyliko film falls away and forms
a sediment at tho bottom of the ves
sel, tfhls sediment is worth to the
manufacturer $25 an ounce.
White wax of mucllago or gum ara
ble forms part of the mixturo proper
tor the moro important and expensive
Imitations, such as those mado tojml
tato tho rare oriental pearls whlcb
fetch fabulous prices.
Tho emerald Is another stone which
Is cleverly Imitated. A perfect omer
aid is the rarest stone in the world
though tho "trade ranks It after the
ruby and tho diamond. The best em
eralds come from P.eru, the imitation?
from France, and a few from Birming
ham. The real article becomes elec
tric by friction and heroin lies the dif
ference between it and the imitation.
AT THE LAST MOMENT.
Thoughts of Great Men Immediately
Preceding Dissolution.
There are few sayings of great men
half so interesting n3 the words they
utter before tho curtain is rung down
for the last time.
What, for Instance, could bo sweet
er than this picture, of the last mo
ments of John Richard Groen, the his
torian? He had spoken tho last sen
tences of tender farewell and grati
tude to those around his bed, and
then, placing his forefinger on bis
pulse, ho looked up at the doctor
ntooping over him and with a smile
uttered tho one word, "Stopped."
Phelps' closing words were the most
dramatic ho had spoken on any stage
He was playing Wolsey in "Henry
VIII," and had Just spoken the line
"Farewell, a long farewell to all my
sreatness," when ho staggered and
was led off the boards w,hich he was
-. rever to tread again.
Many of the kings of tho earth .have
never been nobler than in the con-
eluding moment of their lives. Rich
ard I, Just as he was breathing bit
last, said to Uertrand de Gourdon.
whose arrow had killed htm, "Youth,
I forgive you," and then turning to
his attendants ho 6aid, "Take off his
chains, give him a hundred shillings
and let him go."
A curious fancy possessed Garibaldi
Just before he died. Two birds came
flying to his window and alighted on
the- sill, and to Garibaldi they appear
ed like tho spirits of his two dead
children. "They have come," he said
tenderly, "to see theh" father die. Be
kind to them and feed them when I'm
gone." Thomas Carlyle's death was
not easier or happier than his life
nd at the last he remarked, pathetic
ally: "Is it not strange that these peo
pie should have chosen the very oldest
man In all Britain to mako suffer in
this way?"

Fcr Larger Lives.
In Heaven, they say, ts undisturbed and
perfect peace; a.d yet
Alone our heartstrings, even there, a
tremor of regret
Must sometimes wander Into pain, If
memory survives
A grief that In this good, great world
wo lived no larger lives.
God moves our planet gloriously among
tho sturry spheres.
And nobler movements for our souls,
through these our mortal years,
In widening orbits toward Himself eter
nally He planned;
Wo creep and rust In treadmill graved
wo will not bo made grand.
......
Yet souls that win Immortal heights un
closed with self must move!
Tho only thing that wo can tako from
earth to Heaven Is lovol
To mako us great like Thee, O Qodl
Thy Spirit with us strives!
Enlarge our lives to take Thco Inl O,
give us nobler lives I

Waste of Nerve Energy.
So many people needlessly and
recklessly waste their nervo energy.
They drum the chair or tho desk with
their fingers or tap tho floor with their
toes. They hold their hands. They
sit In a rocking chair nnd rock for
very dear life. If they write or sew
they get down to it with a vengeance
and contract their brows and wrinkle
their foreheads and grind their teeth.
If they havo an unusual task to do
they contract and contort every mus
cle of the body, making themselves
tense and rigid all over, when tho
work perhaps required but ono set of
muscles or perhaps tho mind only, as
tho case may bo.
The 8un's Heat.
"The sun's heat?" said tho astrono
mer. "Well, let us say that tho value
of tho sun's heat is $25,000,000. Now,
what proportion of all that value do
you Bupposo warms the earth? Only
two cents' worth.
"All the rest of tho sun's heat is
wasted In space. Of tho $25,000,000
the earth only gets 2 cents.
"With coal I can give you another
idea of the sun's heat. Suppose that
the earth was to contract to heat the
sun. Do you know what tho result
would bo? All tho coal upon the earth
would suffice to maintain tho present
solar heat for just one-tenth of a sec
ond." Sober Second Thought.
A farm laborer who was getting
married found that he had not enough
money with which to pay tho minis
ter's fee. Ho promised, however, to
pay him in potatoes when they wero
ready for digging up. Tho minister
waited for somo time, but no potatoes
were forthcoming; so ho called upon
tho roan and inquired the reason.
"Well, to tell you the truth, guvner,"
was the reply, "I'd like to give you
tho potatoes, but she ain't worth it"

Fine French Boulevard on Which They
Can Speed.
In Franco automobllo building has
reached Its highest development,
though our manufacturers aro fast
closing tho gap that separates them
from their Gallic competitors. Not
only Is tho machine made In Franco,
says Everybody's Magazine, but roads
for It to do its best on aro provided.
Biarritz Is constructing a 90-milo
boulevard on the coast at Arcachon
for tho excluslvo use of fast motor
cars. On it there will bo no bpeed re
strictions, and every man nnd woman
ambitious to break a record or a necic
will havo a froo llcenso to do sq. Lum
bering trucks, family parties drawn
by old Dobbin, nurse-maids with per
ambulators will not attempt to cross
tho bows of 70-mlle-an-hour devil wag
ons. Solid walls will lino each sldo
of a 70-foot-wldo cement boulevard,
and any accidents thnt may enliven a
day's sport will bo confined among tho
Bpeoders themselves. Llko tho course
of Ormond, Fla., this Freifch raco
track will bo on tho beach, where in
terlopers will have small excuse to go.
Tho construction of tho course will
cost $1,600,000, a comparatively small
amount when the magnltudo of tho
automobllo business Is considered.
Fishers and Suckers.
There aro those who claim that "a
sucker Is born every minute." And It
may bo stated that tho birth rato of
those who mako a business of fishing
for suqkers Is also largo. Tho sucker
fisherman does not stay long In ono
place. If the suckers nibble ho per
mits them to swallow bait, hook, bob,
lino and sinker, and then, wise flshpr
man, ho goes to anothor place, spits
on his bait and tries- his luck again.
Warn tho sucker of his fate? You
would as well try to admonish a pig.
When tho biting season Is- on it Is his
Instinct to nibble. "A fool and his
money aro soon parted." And tho
cynic will Insist that the only way
to mako a wise man out of a fool Is
to part him from his money. Atlanta

INDIAN CHIEF IN TROUBLE.
Though Off Reservation, He Wanted
Old Customs Kept Up.
Jim Big Heart, a wealthy Indian
farmer who lives at Pnwhuskn, I. T.,
got Into trouble In Kansas City, Kan ,
tho other day by having too much
money. Having sold two car loads of
cattle, ho proceeded to display some of
his eccentricities. Officers were called
to a rooming houso, whero Big Henrt
Insisted on sitting on tho beds and
making hlmsolf perfectly at homo. He
explained to tho ofllccrs that on tho
reservation he was accustomed to go
ing where ho choso and that tho
homes of his people wore open to him.
Ho was taken to tho police headquar

Famous Swiss Cheese.
According tda report by United

aro 700,000 cows In Switzerland. Thoy
averago C25 gallons of milk a year por
cow, a total of 402,500,000 gallons, val

Its used for homo consumption and
tho rest for condensed milk, cheese
and butter.
Although representing but one-fifth
of tho entiro milk production tho
cnecso market dictates tho price of
milk to all Switzerland. Tho cheose
Is mado In about 2,000 small creamer

cc-oporatlvo societies and others by
Independent cheese makers.

than tho winter product mado when

price for cheeso In 1903 was fifteen
cents per pound.
The total export In 1903 was 53,000,
