What Pearls are Made of. r Very few people are aware that the pearl-oyster is not in any way like the oysters which we eat. It is of an en tirely different species, and, as a mat ter of fact, the shells of the so-called pearl-oysters are of far more value to those engaged in “pearl-fishing” than the pearls. There are extensive pearl fisheries in the Gulf of California, and some of the finest pearls have been taken from these waters. In 1881 one pearl, a black one, was sold for $10,- 000, and every year since that time many pearls have been taken from the beds in the California Gulf valued at over $7,500 each. But such “finds” are very rare, and, as a rule, the pearls which are brought up are of very little value. The shells, howev- are very valuable; most of them are shipped to Europe, where they are manufactured into ornaments, knife handles, buttons, and the hundreds of other articles for which “mother-of- pearl is used. Another fact concerning the pearl- oyster and the pearl itself is very little understood. I have, seen a book of infraction both in this country and in England the statement that “the for mation of the pearl in the oyster shell is caused by a disease of the oyster” and the statement is more or less gen erally believed, as is also the erronious inference to be be drawn from it, that the oyster refered to is the edible oys ter. The mother-of-pearl is nothing more than a series of layers of nacre ous matter deposited by the oyster upon the interior of the shell, and the pearl itself is a perfectly accidental for mation. It is caused by a similar de- posit of nacre around some foreign object. This foreign substance may be a grain of sand, a parasite, or some similar object; but most authorities agree that it is more unusually an unde veloped egg of the oyster around which this natural deposit is thrown. The largest pearl ever found meas ured two inches long, and weighed three ounces. This is of Eastern origin. The largest found in the Gulf of Cali fornia did not exceed an inch and a quarter long, and was somewhat larg er than the egg of a bluebird. Many of the Colifornia pearls are black and speckled. These are considered more valuable than the white pearls in Eu- rope, but the most highly prized pearls of all aro pink.—Harper's Young People. Hauling Down the Flag. P. P. Elder was speaker of the house of representatives in Kansas when Windom and General Sherman died in 1861. Windom died twenty-four hours before Sherman, and the flag on the statehouse was pulled half way down. When the news came of the great general’s death, the sergeant-at-arms rushed in and asked Elder what he should do. “Put the flag half mast,” said Elder. “But it is already at half mast for Windom,” explained the sergeant-at- arms. “Then pull it the reBt of the way down, you goose,” exclaimed Elder petulantly.—t 'h ievgo In ter- Ocean.

The Daily Routine of Both Houses Briefly Epitomized. What Is Being Done to Allay Finan cial Depression and Bring Relief. Thirtieth Day.—In the senate, Monday, Mr. Cameron was present for the first time since early in the session. Mr. Hill was also present after ten day’s absence. Mr. Peffer presented a petition from Pennsylvania praying that gold and silver and paper money issued by the government be based on labor. He also rose to a personal ex planation saying he introduced a bill for the establishment of a college of science in Washington the other day at the request of the author, and himself was not resposible for it. Mr. Dolph presented a petition from the Metho dist conference, recently in session in Albany, Ga., for the repeal of the Gary act. Cameron and Quay presen ted numerous petitions for free coin age of silver. Thirty-First Dat. —The vice pres ident laid before the senate Tuesday morning the reply to the resolution calling for information about the pur chase of silver and class of money paid out for it. It stated that no silver was bought with certificates redeemable in gold since March 4, 1893. Stewart’s resolution introduced Monday was called up and and he asked that it go over till Wednesday, which took away the expected chance of an exciting time. The repeal bill was taken up, and Mitchell, of Oregon, addressed the senate in opposition. Thirty-Second Day—In the absence of the vice president, the senate was presided over Wednesday by Mr. Har ris, president pro tern of the senate. A bill for a bimetallic money system was introduced by Mr. Peffer, by re quest, but was referred to the finance committee. It provides that all the paper money of prior issue hereafter paid out by the United States treasury shall be stamped “Redeemable in equal sums of gold and silver or in United States treasury notes thus re deemable.” The resolution offered last Monday by Stewart for a committee of inquiry as to senators holding stock of national banks, or being in terested in them was taken up and Stewart made an argument in defense of his resolution. Thirty-Third Day.—Numerous pe titions were presented in the senate Thursday morning favoring the free coinage at different ratios. Faulkner offered an amendment to the Wilson repeal bill outlined in his speech the other day and asked it to be printed in Record. It provides for three mil lion silver dollars, 412 1-2 grains weight, to he coined every month until $800,000,000 is coined and directs the way in which pur chases shall be made and money issued. It also provides for the gradual redemption of national hank notes until no currency ol that description is in circulation smaller than the denomination of ten dollars. The Wilson bill was then called up and Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, began his speech. He was glad to note how, when the acute panic was over, it was easy to see the Sherman law had nothing to do with sending away gold, and the threatened repeal had been in no earthly use in bring ing it back. The conditions brought about by the panic were the enormous increase of debt, unprecedented in lowering prices, that had been going on for twenty years, and contempora neous destruction of the money powei of silver. the house. Thirtieth Day—In the house Mon day the chaplain prayed that the life of Mrs. Cleveland may be spared and her little daughter attain the high type of womanhood already reached by hei distinguished mother. Murray, col ored member, asked unanimous con sent for the introduction and immedi ate consideration of a joint resolution appropriating $20,000 for the aid of the sufferers in the devastated portion of South Carolina. It was referred to the committee on appropriations. The house adjourned at 2 :40. Thirty-First Day.—In the house, Tuesday, Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, in troduced a resolution, which was re ferred to a committee on interstate and foreign commerce, calling on the secretary of the treasury for informa tion as to the amount of merchandise entering the United States over the Canadian railways and waterways. A resolution passed the house to take a recess at 2 o’clock Monday next to at tend the ceremonies of the centennial of the laying of the corner stone oi the capitol. Thirty-Second Day—Mr. Denson, of Alabama, offered a resolution in the house Wednesday morning declaring that whereas the house was ad journing from day to day, while the people were demanding ac tion, the house should authorize the banking and currency committee to teport immediately a bill introduced by McLaurin, of South Carolina, pro viding for the issue of $125,000,000 in treasury notes for the relief of the people." it was objected to and went over under the rule. Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, called up hisbill to regu late the printing, binding and dis tribution of public documents, and asked its immediate consideration. It was urged as a privileged matter. The speaker ruled that it had no privileges for immediate consideration. Mr. Richardson then moved the bill be re ferred to the house calendar. The Everett bill to amend the Geary law was considered and refered to a sub committee consisting of McCreary, Everett, Geary, Hitt and Hanner, and then adjourned. Thirty-Third Day.—The struggle over the federal election repeal bill was begun in the house Thursday morning at the opening of the session by the republicans, under the lead of Burrows, who filibustered to prevent the reception of the report from the committee on election of president and vice president in favor of the Tucker bill. On Burrows’ motion to dispense with the call of committees for reports, republicans refrained from voting, thus breaking a quorum. The vote resulted, yeas 4, nays 106. The call of the house was then ordered. When the roll of absentees was in progress every member for whom an excuse was offered was excused from attendance. This led Mr. Wilson, re publican, of Washington, to ask wheth er the absentees could not be excused for absent members. The previous question having been ordered, a half hour of debate was had, after which Mr. Turner’s resolution was adopted and the house at 2:45 o’clock ad journed. MORE FEVER IN BRUNSWICK Two Deaths irom the Dread Disease Occurred Wednesday. Another Hasty Exoilns from the City. Other Places Quarantining. Two deaths from yellow fever oc curred in Brunswick Tuesday night. The news fell upon the community Wednesday morning like a pall, and the city is again shrouded in gloom and despair. Charles Killian, a Gernfan shoe maker, who has a little shop next to Oglethorpe bank and who lives in the rear of the building, was taken sick Tuesday and died at 11 o’clock p. m. Dr. Guiteras, the government expert, was called in and pronounced it a typical case of yellow jack. The other was the case of a Swede named Ball inger, who has been for several days in the city hospital. The attending physician did not think it yellow fe ver, but Dr. Guiteras had the body exhumed Boon after it was buried and held an autopsy in company with Dr. Dunwoody. Both agree that it was yellow fever. Another one of the Cox children, a boy twelve years of age, is down with the fever. Another case is reported from one of the tug boats in the harbor, and judg ing from the conversation of the at tending physician, it will develop into 3’ellow fever. panic reigns. The town is panic stricken again and thousands are fleeing in terror. All had hoped that the danger was passed, and many, including one doc tor, do not think there had been a genuine case there at all. Dr. Guite ras states that these cases have been kept from him or he would never have announced that the danger was proba bly over. He says there is now grave danger of an epidemic, and everybody who is not absolutely free from danger of taking it had best leave at once. CONFIDENCE WAS RETURNING. Business had just begun to settle down. People were coming home on every train. Laborers were getting back to work and a hopefulness was taking possession in all lines of trade. It came now like the bursting of a shell in a beseiged city when they thought the enemy routed. All are hoping for the best,but fear the worst. QUARANTINING AGAIN. The city sanitary board of Savan nah held a meeting Wednesday night and considered the official reports which came from Dr. Guiteras. A strict quarantine against Brunswick was declared, and measures were taken to enforce it at once. Dr. Brunner received a private tele gram Wednesday afternoon before any other news of the prevalence of yellow fever at Brunswick had reach ed the city that two concealed cases had been discovered. This, of course, supports Dr. Brunner in the stand he has taken that the removal of the quarantine was improper, as he had reason to believe that there were cases concealed in that city. Now that the quarantine has gone on again, he will see that it is the most active and strin gent that can be put into effect. LAST TRAIN INTO WAYCROSS. W ay cross quarantined against Bruns wick Wednesday. The same schedule used during the late excitement will he in effect on the Brunwiek and West ern railroad. The teminus will be at Waynesville. ALBANY SHUTS HER DOORS. Mayor Gilbert, of Albany, received a telegram from Mayor Lamb, of Brunswick, announcing yellow fever. As a result of this information Albany has again instituted a qarantine against shat city and it will be more rigid than before. LOOKS LIKE AN EPIDEMIC. Dr. Guiteras said Thursday morn ing that it looks very much like an epidemic is threatened, though the slow appearances of the disease is a hopeful sign. Each death has been complicated with weakness from other illness. APPEALED TO THE GOVERNOR. Thursday morning Governor North en received a letter from Mayor T. W. Lamb, of Brunswick, asking for state aid for the Brunswick sufferers. The governor sent the following reply to Mayor Lamb: Dear Sik:--I have reail with deep regret the news of the morning, making known the ap pearance again of yellow fever in your city. I deplore the fact liiat the state has not pro vided medical authority upon which X could call to render you soiree. Furlber. the slate has not suppl e.l me with any fund upon which I could draw for the care of the sick or for the control of the disease. I am. therefore, power iess to aid you in this way. If yon can suggest to mo anything, within my power, for the aid of your people an 1 help in this emergency, either officially or personally, I will gladly ren der the service. Very tiuly etc., W. J. Northfn, Governor. Camp Haines will be inaugurated and Surgeon MaGruder will take charge. The people have little hope of egress now until after frost. The following bnlletm of the board ol health explains itself: To the l’ublie: The hoard of health an nounces there are two cases of yellow fever now under treatment in the city, and that it does not deem that it has a-sumed the form of an epidemic.

The review of the industrial situation in the south for the past week shows tint, while no decided change is to be note!, there is an un dercurrent of iner ase 1 confidence and an oft- expressed be ief that the worst is over, which, in itself, is doing much to relieve the situation. The most gratifying feature of the week has been the resumption of woik at a numb2r of the manufacturing plants and especially the fact that many of them are receiving sufficient orders to justify their operation. While no change has taken place in the raw iron market, the foundries and machine shops generally re port fair orders and with the increased accom modations they can now secure from the banks, the volume of business is being materially in ert a*ed. All indications point to a con inued gradual improvement of trade, the steady advancement of the manufacturing interests of this most fa vored section and valuable les-ons learned that will result in greater < conorny in all lines, and a greater diversi’v in the manufacturing as well as the agricul nral products of the entire South. Fifteen new industries were established or incorporated during the week, together with \hree enlargements of mmufactories, and, „ .. . . , ,, rm i twelve important new buildings.—Tradesman collectively instead ot individually.

The board of Inland quarantine at Wilmington, N. C., held a meeting Thursday and quarantine restrictions against several southern cities, which had been previously removed, were re-established as to Brunswick, Ga. The new quarantine will be rigidly en forced. The worst fire that ever visited the town of Spencer, Mass., broke ont there Wednesday afternoon and re sulted in a total loss of $250,000. Fully six acres of buildings were to tally destroyed. The fire originated in the freight depot of the Boston and Albany railroad. After suspension little over two months ago, the First National bank, of Winston, N. C., will resume busi ness. J. C.

It is claimed under the operation of the McKinley, law, that the price of Portland cement is lowered to consumer fifty cents a barrel and the amount of importations and revenues increased. Pittsburg, Pa., and vicinity is suf fering from a shortage in sugar ac cording to a dispatch from that city Thursday. Wholesalers are unable, they say, to fill more than ten per cent of their orders. They say the shortage is chargeable directly to the refiners anil is particularly exaspera ting just now on account of the fruit canning and preserving season being at its height. The scarcity applies only to refined products. A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says; The board of regents of the state luna tic asylum acted very decisively Thursj- day on the demands of the Southeast ern tariff associations, which ha6 beei- after the board for months in regard tfo the wiring of the institution for thear electric light plant. Some time a£o the regents went to great expense ] remodel the wiring in accordance wi& the demands of the association. Ai- other demand was made. The regeife at their meeting said to the associ- tion that, if it wants to, it can canel every insurance policy on the pr<p- erty.

RUTH HAS A SISTER. The President and Mrs. Cleveland Re ceive Cougratu'ations. A Washington special says: Another girl baby was horn to President and Mrs. Cleveland Saturday. The birth of a baby in the white house, was, of course, an event in which more than usual interest was felt. In an incred ibly short space of time the news was known in congress and was spread through all the departments. The im minence of the important event was made known early in the day by the issue of an order countermanding the usual Saturday concert by the marine band in the white house grounds. Dr. Bryant, who accompanied the presi dent and Mrs. Cleveland back from Gray Gables and took np his quarters in the white house, was the attending physician. The latest information ob tainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and her latest daughter were both doing well. The baby is a bright-eyed, healthy looking young lady. This is the first child born to a president in the white house, though there have been other births in the executive mansion. Immediately after the news had been confirmed, members of the cabi net and their wives called to congrat ulate the president and leave their cards for Mrs. Cleveland, and there was a general air of suppressed excitement about the employes of the mansion. Telegrams of congratulation were re ceived from all parts of the country. Bismarck Seriously III. The condition of Bismarck is such as those near him are seriously alarm ed. Dr. Schweninger has gone to Berlin to consult with eminent phys icians there on the advisability of re moving the prince to a milder climate, as it is believed he couldn’t stand the vigorous winter. The prince is con fined to his bed and is so helpless that hs has to be fed by his attendants, sciatica having reached his arms, ren dering them powerless,. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Affairs of Goyennaent and Routine of the House and Senate Discussed. Notes of Interest Concerning the Peo ple and Their General Welfare. Congressman Oates, of Alabama, proposes to introduce a bill providing for adding the territory of Utah to Nevada, 6o as to make that 6tate the proper size and of sufficient popula tion. A Washington dispatch says; The in teresting ceremony of weighing the white house baby took place Tuesday with all eclat at tending such an event. The scales showed just nine pounds and a quarter, It is stated at the white house that both the mother and child continue to do well. The damp weather has had no ill effect on either of them. The senate will not have a monopo ly on filibustering. As soon as the house met Thursday morning the Republicans commenced filibustering tactics against the consideration of the bill repeal ing the election laws by failing to an swer to their names and swarming to the cloak room and leaving the house, and having yeas and nays called on ex cusing members. Representative Cooper, of Florida, will introduce a resolution in the house calling for an investigation of the course of United States Judge Swain, with a view to impeachment on charges affecting his administration of busi ness in his court, especially in the matter of the improper appointments of masters and receivers. Mr. Coop er’s action is taken in obedience to resolutions passed by the Florida leg islature. Patent Commissioner Seymour has been served with a summons to appear before the district supreme court and show cause why a writ of mandamus should not he issued to the state of South Carolina to compel the regis tration of the trademark “Palmetto.” The suit is brought by States’ Attor ney Townsend. The application for the registration was refused by an ex aminer. An appeal was subsequently filed. The refusal to register was on the grounds that a state has no right to deal in liquors outside of its own limits. The decision in the ease will establish and test an interesting prec edent. Judge Turner introduced a judicia ry hill in the house Wednesday morn ing which will effect all property in Georgia now in the hands of a receiver to a great extent. The bill provides for an amendment to the judiciary act of August 13, 1888. The bill provides that every receiver or manager of any property appointed by any court of the United States, may be sued in re spect of au act or transaction of his in carrying on the business connected with such property without the pre vious leave of the court in which such receiver or manager was appointed, and that service on such receiver or manager in such suits may be made upon him or his agent in the same manner as process would be served on said corporation, if it were not in the hands of such receiver. The Opening* of the Cherokee .Strip. The opening of the Cherokee strip is the greatest affair that has come under the control of the present ad ministration, excepting the financial question. Within a few years one of the triftiest, wealthiest and most influ ential of the new states of the great west will be what is now called in the school boy’s geography “Indian Terri tory.” The climate of that country is unsurpassed,being midway between the cotton-producing states of the south and the wheat belt of the north. Anything will grow in Oklahoma. The grains of the north and the tex tiles of the south find a rich fruitage in its generous fructifying soil. This land was set aside as an ideal country for the red man, when conscience- stricken the white population drove him from his home on the Atlantio coast. Vegetation there grows in rioutous luxurance. Coal abounds in untold quanities, and its rivers run through beds of saline deposits capa ble of developing a great new indus try.

ROYAL BAKINt Emergency Medicines. “For internal use,” says a physician replying to a mother’s query as to what drugs shall be kept in the house for emergency, “wine or syrup of ipe cac is given as the safest emetic for children when indigestible or hurtful things have been eaten, and castor oil has first rank among mild purgatives.” Cough medicines and remedies for sore throat taken without medical ad vice are not much recommended, though flaxseed tea and syrup of ipe cac in small dozes may bo permitted l’or a cough, and a gargle of alum and water, or tannin and water, or chlo rate of potash, in small quantities, used in cases of sore throat while waiting for an intelligent diagnosis. ” And it is added, by way of warning in cases of sore throat trouble, “the dis tinction between the forms that are of slight moment and those of gravity is not easily made without practice.”— New York Times. A Counterfeit Equal to a Genuine. Since dollars are coined out of sixty cents’ worth of silver, it is no wonder that counterfeiters have turned honest and are getting out dollars containing the same amount of silver as the gen uine, and nndistinguishable from the mint issue. In former times, when a silver dollar was worth 100 cents, counterfeiters had to use baser metals, which soon led to their detection. But when the government itself gives a fictitious value to its coinage, who is there to depreciate the acts of indi viduals who issue a dollar of the Bame value as the government?—Scientific American. Were Not Missed. A party of comm ercial travelers on the road were boa^ti ng about the mag nitude of the houses ,1;hey represented, when one, who was the last to spenk, said: “Gentlemen, I wouldn’t like to tell you anything about the size of our premises or the stock.we carry or the number of people ve employ, because you might think I wijs exaggerating. But when we took" 'stock of our em ployes last week, we found that six cashiers and tines bookkeepers had absconded three mouths before, and had never been nftssed!”—Boston Globe. : t An Auger, Not a Bore. Clergyman—Is it true, Miss Ruth, that you said my last Sunday’s sermon bored you? Miss Ruth (with a little gasp)—Oh, my, no! Goodness gracious, no! I said that it—er—penetrated my very soul. Isn’t it strange how p ople misconstrue things! — Truth. “Haven't you written that letter yet, Annie?” “Yes, George, dear. That is, all exce pt the postscript..

The Death RolJ is Largely Swelled By persons careless of imperilled health, who “pooh, pooh!” their minor ailments, believ ing, or pretending to believe, that nature will effect a change.
