in the sight or n rone or a collar
of pearls around n whlto nock, and
they are to moat women the inn.it
dcalrablu jewel of all. Hut thoy
must be largo or in quantity and
thoy are, If good, costly In tin
extreme. The small pouild one
sees seed pearls -are uncap, but
Htlll set about a large diamond in
a ring they scorn to Improve the
diamond, and at the same time to
derive uomo of Its virtue from
their neighborhood.
The pearl la all the more nought
after because, unlike other pre
eious stones, no amount of artill
clal treatment, such as cutting or
polishing, can enhance its beau
ties. Nature's workmanship must
bo perfect and untouched ami tho
pearl comes to you exactly tw It
emorg03 from tho oyster. On the
other hand, it has this disadvan
tage. It Is liable to discoloration
and tho only way is to give it a
(4 rest from too much contact with
u Uy skin. Still that is not tho only
M lftno which suffers discoloration
' Was it not tho famous necklace of
Mario Antoinette, preserved in a
tiarded case In a museum, which
after years of nonuso began to
lose color and had to be worn at
intervals In older to give it its
pristlno beauty?
Tho valuo of (he pearl ij com
parnble with that of tho most cost
ly gems. Its price varies with its
size, form and general beauty of
appearance. A pearl of tho llrst

form, a smooth biirface, bo free
jrom all blemishes or fractures, be

color and a perfect luster; and It
so happens that It is raio to get

K pearls la much moru in proportion than that of
t a single pearl, for it may take years to got to
' n gother n collection of pearla which aro aliko In
' size, shape aud quality. A string of yellowish In-
f dlan pearls costs 520,000, of whlto JL'5,000, of
black I'aclUc pearls ?30,000, and even then you
could not think that your string waa anyway
unique.
To seek a unique pearl one must go to the Hope
collection, where thero is ono almost as largo as
o hen's egg, almost but not qulto faultless, which
SJsyalued at J75.000 a pearl of 454 carats. Again,
ITro 13 n much smallor one of 27 5-1C carats
among tho French crown Jewels which is valued
at ?40,000.
There aro other pearls, however, of distorted
shape, called baroquo pearls, and of these the
most famous is tho great Southern Cross, which
is formed of nine beautiful puro whlto lustrous
pearls, naturally formed In tho shapo of a cross,
ono Inch In length, for which your offer would

To Biipply tho world of women with pearls, tho
Coylon government administration yearly pro
claims a "ilshery," determining whether or not it
should be held by examination and a sample

marine biologist who is in charge declares that
tho number of oysters warrants a llshory, tho

magic n town of 40,000 inhabitants nrisos out

houses of tho town aro easily built. A rough

WOE OF HINDOO WOMEN i
0SIMJLSISL8SJLSUL2JJLSLSW3JLSLSULSLM
When a Huddhlst prays be Implores his god
that when ho dies ho bhall not bo cursed by be
ing born again as a woman or ns vermin. That
Is tho attitude of tho native men of India toward
women and against which the mlsslnuaiies In tho
Oiiont are directing all their energy.
Dr. Klcnunr Stephenson, a Brooklyn woman
who has been ptacticlng medicine In India for
three years and who will return to her work
thero soon, innkes an appeal to American women
to go out theie, tho New Yoik Evening Telegram
bays.
"I want tho women hero to realize what it
meant to bo born In America," she tald iccently.
"To bo born whete a woman is tho backbone of
tho man, his sticngth and help in overy way!
Why, out in Ahmednagnr, whoro my woik Is, a
woman is no more thnu an auimnl. She Is for
the purpose of ralbtug chlldien aud that is all.
A mnn thinks more of his cow If he Is lucky
enough to have onethan ho does of his wife.
"A Hindoo Husband will let his wife die before
he will call in n man to glvo her medical or sur
gical treatniont. That shows the need for women
physicians In tho Orient."
In Ahmednagnr, which is an inland plateau
about a hundred miles from Bombay, thero aro
two physicians, Dr. Huth Hume and Dr. Stophon
son, and nun American trained nurse, Miss John
Bon, Under MIpb Johnson thoro aro 14 native
women who have had somo slight training and
these help with tho nursing. In tho mission hos
pital which this handful of women run lu.OOO
peoplo were- treated last year, an average of 41
a day. Theso folk have come from a radius of
about CO miles, though some special cases bavo
como ns far as 300 miles.

tional missionary at the same place as Dr. Ste-

is probably one Aincil.nn or Kuiopean trained doc
tor to overy million and a hall of people In tho
I'nlted States theie are HIO.OOO physicians and 22,
OOo nurses, an average of one physician to every
i'iuO people."
"Of courso we do a gieat deal of actual nurs
ing aud that Is most Important," Dr. Stephenson
says, "but another thing, which is even bigger, Is
this: Wo show women who have thought them
selves wholly unloved that home ono cares for
them. They know thnt there Is a veiy small
money consideration given im and that what wo
do Is done for love. So they love us.
"When I boo woman physlciaus struggling for a
living hoio nnd know what a Held theie is in India,
1 feel as though thoy must be told.
"The kind of work I have been doing Is n tor
rlllc appeal to tho sympathies. We have to respect
caste, which makes nearly all of our cases long
standing. Ono woman whom I treated came to me
with her entlro arm in a gangrenous condition.
She had pricked her linger eeven months before,
at tho time of lior husband's death. On account
of her caste she could not so much ns leavo tho
houso for tho soven months, during which time
septicemia bet lu and went up ns far aa her shoul
der. I told her that her arm would hnvo to bo am
putated. She refused absolutely to part with it,
and died as a result.
"Another woman binned her knee and turned
up nt tho hospital live months later with that part
of her leg In terrible condition. Tho leg waa cut,
off unci the woman mado a perfect recovery.
"I went many miles Into tho Interior to kco an
injured woman. She had fallen down a well and
was fearfully bruised all over. I round hor lying
on tho (loor grinding corn, every turn of her arm
causing tho most Intense agony. Sho couldn't
benr to bavo tno oven touch her, sho wa3 suffering
ho. I told her husband she had to bo taken to the
hospital or bIiu would dlo and ho asked who would
cook tho bread if sho were gone. Ho refused to
allow hor to go. All 1 could do was to leavo a
llttlo medicine."
Dr. Stepheiibon finds that tho natives Invnriably
prefer using ointments to clean dressings. Women
como lu largo numbers to get ointments for raw
sores where their husbands bavo beaten and cut
thorn and they are full of gratitude to tho doctor.
Sho findB that thoso of high class aro Just as bru
tally treated and Just as grateful us tho lowest.
"Transmigration !b ono of tho strongest beliefs
In India," sho says, "and on that account tho
peoplo will not kill any animal, not oven a ileu. As
it result tho poor homes aro overrun with bedbugs
and other vermin, which spread all sorts of fuvera
and dlse.ibcs.
"And another of their Ideas It that wo don't
know anything about raising babies. Hindoo
mothers, without exception, glvo opium to tholr
babies to make them slcop whllo they work In tho
fields. As a result a largo proportion of tho llttlo
Hindoo babies dlo before they aro a year old. Most
of tho work among tho natives is surgical and tho
obstotrlc cases aro tho most interesting, This is
becauso tho natives have medicines of their own,
but know nothing of tho uec of tho knife,"

What Kalth ls.Vs. IS, I!). Where
wan .leius when ho worked (be mlt
.ii les we are lo study? lu "his own
it.v," ('iipeiiiauui. He was fresh from
two stupendous miracles, (he Milling
of the tempest on the se.i of (lalllce,
and the healing of (ho (latlarene de
moitlnc- at toss the sea from Caper
naum How did .laii us btlng his petition to
lesttH'' Id put his whole soul Into his
prttier the ou'.v kind of praor Hint
gels lesults He worshiped him, fall
ing at his feet, and beseeching him
much (Mink). Ho was pleading Tor his
only child, who was "at tho point of
death " Indeed, when (he ruler left
tlm house she was no near death that
he dhl not know whether to Bpeak of
her as dead or alive, but In his dis
traction now called her "dying" and
now, as In Matthew, "even now dead."
The girl being lu that desperate con
dition, how did Jairiis show his faith?
Hy urging thai Jesus "lay" his "hum!
upon her nnd site" should "live."
Faith for One's Self. Vs. 20-22 I low
did Jesuit respond to .lalrtis' petition?
He arose at once, and followed him,
and mi did his disciples, and a great
multitude. Hut bow wero they Inter
rupted on the .way? Hy another np
peal, no les urgent becauso It was
silent.
What was tho trotiblo with (his now
petitioner? She had suffered for J2
ears with n bloody flux.
How did sho approach .Icsus? Sho
"came behind him," touched (he bluo
nnd while tassels that hung from the
four corners of his cloak.
What was (ho result? She was cured
at once, and know that sho was cured.
Faith for Another. Vs. 23-20. What
test of .lalrun' faith camo as (hey ap
proached his houso? Some one ran to
meetlilui telling him (Mark and Duke)
that his daughter waB dead. How did
Christ strengthen the ruler's faith? Hy
bidding him "Fear not; only believe.
and she shall bo mado whole." What
was thu process of tho mjrnclo? Very
simple, as lu tho caso of all Christ's
wonderful works. Ho merely took her
by the hand, softly said, "Talltha
ctiml," aud tho malt! arose.
Comrades In Faith. Vs. 27-31. When
was the next appeal made to Jesus"
When ho "departed thence," from tho
house of Jnlrus or from Capernaum.
Who made It? "Two blind men," whose
like may bo found In any cistern
ciowd to this tiny.
'How did they mnko (heir appeal?
Not In u quiet, reverential way like
Jalrus, nor with awed shrinking like
tho woman with an issue of blood, but
they followed him persistently, crying
with Importunity like Hartlmncus,
Thou son of David, bavo mercy on
us. We nre not restricted to ono form
of appeal In approaching our Lord, but
his cars aro open to every cry.
What wan Implied by this mode of
address? "Son of David" was n well
known popular title of the Messiah.
Hut, though Jesus often called him
self "Son of man," nnd especially com
mended thoso that called him Christ
or Messiah, "ho did not himself use
tho title 'Son of David,' aa It implied
n deliverer of Israel from n foreign
yoke nnd a ruler In Jerusalem; and ho
scorns not to bavo desired Its uso by
others" Principal Carvio. Sco In
ductive Study.
Why did Christ, before healing thorn,
ask about their faith In him? Ho
causo ho wnntctl to bIiow them the
heart of tho matter not his power.
Desplsers of Faith. Vs. 32-34. What
was tho lnst caso In this scries of heal
ing miracles? A dumb man.
How did the spectators recclvo this
miracle? With entlro nmazement. Tho
euro of tho dumb nnd deaf denfness
being usually associated with dumb
ness was considered tho most dim
cull of all cures.
Why was faith n necessity before
Christ could work ?ils mIraclo3? Ho
causo Infiucnco of all kinds cannot (low
except nlong npproprlnto channels. Wo
would think a man n fool If ho wanted
electricity but refused lo stretch a
wire for It; or If ho wanted to conduct
water from n river to his field and
(.corned to dig a ditch for It. In tho
snmo way, If a mnn wnnts knowledge,
ho knows that It will (low into his lifo
only nlong tho channel of a clear and
Industrious brain. Wo must hnvo faith
In a mnn before wo enn enter Into tho
Joys of friendship; suspicious question
