Pearl studded Fairy Ringa of the Pacific. Penrhyn appeared one morning on the northern horizon, a band of dim shadow above tho ocean. On these narrow islands you eeo tho dark line of the palm tree fronda at a distance, but not the stems, so that the land seems to hang between sea and sky. Penrhyn is one of those .^oscillating atolls, tho fairy rings of the Pacific, that have been formed by tho subsidence of the land, while only the coral reef that once encircled it remains, and the great circular lagoon takes the place of the island that was. The islands are not moro than ten feet high. Tho famous pearl island was sup posed to have been, discovered by the ship Lady Penrhyn in 1788. Lieutenant Hignold of the Porpoise, who visited it in 1841, stated that its inhabitants were the wildest and most savage looking beings he had ever seen: Tho island was subse quently visited by traders and in 1888 was formally annexed to Great Britain. Penrhyn is one pf the most fa mous pearl islands of the Pacific, and its divers are as famous as its pearls. They will dive to a depth of twenty fathoms, or 120 feet. The pearl shell grows to a very large size in the lagoon, and the picked shell is worth $1,000 n ton in the home market. Formerly pearls were more plentiful. On one occa sion Messrs. Godeffroy, the famous German firm, shipped to Europe in one parcel pearls to the value of $20,000, the product of a few months' collection among the is lands, and ixl the early days the beach combers who were daring enough to land on those remote is lands and who managed to escape the ovens of the cannibals often realized great sums of "money by the sale of parcels of these gems, Pearson's Magazine. Surgery In Kentucky, Sahl They laid the Kentucky gentle man on the operating table. Hie revolver was in his strong right hand. "Boys," he said to the assembled surgeons, "I know this is goin' to be a serious affair, but let me tell ou somethin'." And he tapped on revolver. . "If I have to go, I'll certainly want company. An* if you make way with me while Pm under the inflooence of your derned opi ates Pve got six sons at home wno would be only too delighted to show you what they think of your lack of skill in case it does lack. An' they'd be prepared to follow you around from King's bridge to Kingdom Come until they even up things foi the lo&S o? theil ulu Jua. That o all. Cutaway." Perhaps it is unnecessary to add that the operation was completely successful-Cleveland Plain Dealer. Grant'* First Dollar. General Wilson told the story of how General Grant earned hi a first dollar. He was a little chap living in. Mount Pleasant, O., when the circus came to town. Like every other boy that could raise a quarter, he went to the show. One ot the at tractions was a trick mule, and $1 was offered to any one who could ride the mule around the ring 'with out being thrown. After all the other volunteers had failed Grant tried, with the same result. "I want to try again," he insisted. "All right, sonny," said the circus man, and this time the boy reversed his position and held on by tho mule's tail, which so astonished the animal that it failed to rid itself of its bur den, and young Grant won the dol lar. _ Won't Follow Advice After Paying Foi lt. In a recent article a prominent phy sician says, "It is next to impossible for the physician to get hhs patients to carry out? any prescribed course of hy cieno or diet to the smallest extent; he has but one resort left, namely, the drag treatment." When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable, su ob as Chamberlain s Stomach and Livei Tablets, should be employed. Theil use ia not followed by constipation, as they leave the bowels in a natural and healthy condition.

CASTOR IA Por Infants and Children. The Kind Yon Have Always Bough! Bears the Signature of LUJ.V.UJU11. PLENTY OF TIME, Story of the Mississippi River Round About St. Louis. "St. Louis is the great city of the ississippi. As Chicago is to the lakes and New York is to tho At lantic seaboard so is St. Louis to the Mississippi. At tho commercial di viding of the upper and lower streams it stands, almost at the di vision of Bummer and winter in the# valley, and all things along tho river' ? date from it," says John Swain in 'Ainslee's. "Part of the lower river looks to New Orleans, especially as a social capital. From the Crescent City go grcit strings of vessels for tho Bod and the Ouachita. From St. Louis goes tho commerce of the valley, and to St. Louis flows tho stream of wealth that commerce be gets. Chicago has passed and out I stripped its former" rival, and tho eastern and western streams of com merce pass far north of it. But tho traffic of the south remains with St. Louis, which understands it and takes toll on all that passes up and down tho valley of the river. For i,500 miles the Sc. Louis drummer is alone in his glory. "On the upper stream, vhero tho railway runs beside the river, there is much northern hurry and bus tle. But St. Louis is conducted on the plan of a Mississippi river steamer-plenty of time for all. Be low there I have seen a St. Louis drummer, minus grip and cases, hail a steamer at a way landing, and when the vessel had been brought to bank the captain has graciously kept her waiting while the drum mer hunted up a wagon to send aft er his baggage. As no wagon was to bc found, the steamer's captain obligingly turned her around and took her back up strenm a mile, where the drummer's trunks and grip were on the levee at the cud o? a logging railway. "'Time,' said the captain when the drummer thanked him. If wc had as much of everything as wc got o' time, we'd all bc rich down here.' "That spirit of time and kindnest prevails in all the relations bctwcci St. Louis and the south and is 1 Strong bond between tho city enc its market. It is a proud, handsome .city, and its future greatness is onlj to be limited by the development 0: the Mississippi." On Toast. The eminent physician had jus completed his examination of th? man and was firmly of the opinioi that his confinement in the msam asylum was an injustice. "Yes, sir," he said, "I believe tha you are just as sane as I am, sir." "Thank you, doctor," replied th unfortunate, who had been conduct ing a sane and brilliant conversa tion. "And now could I ask a favo: of you, one very necessary to m; convenience ?" "Certainly you can." "Please have an attendant brinj me a piece of toast. I am very tiret and want to sit down." "Why, what in the world has 1 piece of toast got to do with you sitting down ?" "A whole lot," indignantly repliei the juan. 'fDon't you know that '. am a poached egg?^ .."-^-.?,v4??*.?;jjts. Did Dickens Spoil the Market? Publishers receive frequent appli cations from foreigners, chienV French and German, for permissioi to translate American stories anc novels into other languages for pub lication abroad. Usually the per mission is cheerfully granted b; author and publisher, but the com pensation involved is scarcely worthy of consideration. Some au thors hold Charles Dickens partially responsible for the precedent whicl established this rule of low pricei for translation privileges. Whei Dickens sold thc French rights 0: "David Copperfield" to Messrs. Ha chette of Paris, he received therefo: only ?20. But whether this estab lished the rule or not it is certaii that no author has since been abl< to make very good terms for similar arrangements.-Harper's. How Fishes Multiply.

They lived in Kansas City and one afternoon he took j the youngest tot for a walk. He also bought her some candy, saying she might have it when she reaohed home. The child urged, "Let's wun, Unole Sol," but he pleaded that he was tired. Then the little one plumped down on her knees on the sidewalk and prayed: "O, Dod, p'ease make Unole Sol wan." The aotor thought: Well, it's a question of my losing my dignity or of her losing faith in God." And so the pair ran as fast as they eould. "But we walked togeth er no more," he used to add. - The deepest Atlantic soundings ever made wore ahout ninety miles north of the Island of St. Thomas, in 3875 fathoms.
