YouMre go in o t o 'l They May Be Detected by the Hoe Drilled Through Them. The means of ascertanIng the genu ineness of pearls, which are frequelitly imitated with marvelous skill, is es pecially important to the layman, even though the jeweler may quickly detect them. Imitations are usually lighter than real pearls and generally are brit tie, although some are made solid of fish scales and do not break so easily, while the holes, which in the real pearl are drilled very small and have a sharp edge, are in the false larger and have a blunt edge. As a rule, the Imitation pearls are like hollow spheres of glass colored internally with a coating imi tating the orient of natural pearl The manufacture of these articles embraces two series of operations-the production of the sphere and the intro duction of coating. The spheres are produced by the glassblow'er,' who by aid of an enameler's lamp solers the extremity of a tube when the sub stance is of the right consistency. In this way are obtained very regular lit tle spheres that serve for the composi tion of the ordinary quality of false pearls. In the more beautiful imitations the tube employed is slightly opalescent, and the glassblower, besides, gives to the little spheres while they are yet malleable certain slight perceptible In equalities of surface by gently tapping them with a small iron bar. This gives them a still greater resemblance to natural pearls, which are very seldom absolutely regular.-Exchange. WEIGHT OF PLANETS. It Is the Mass of the Body That Counts With the Astronomer. If a ham weighing thirty pounds were taken up to the moon and weigh ed there, the "pull"-the attractive force of the moon upon the ham would amount to only five pounds. There would be another weight of the ham for the planet Mars and yet an other on the sun. A ham weighing thirty pounds at New York ought to weigh some 800 pounds on the sun's surface; hence the astronomer does not speak of the weight of a planet, be cause that would depend upon the place where It was weighed. But he speaks of the mass of the planet, which means how much planet there is. no matter where it might be weighed. .At the same time we might, without any inexactness, agree that the weight of a heavenly body should be fixed by the weight It would have In New York. As we could not imagine a planet in New York, because it may be larger than the earth itself, what we are to Imagine Is this: Suppose the planet could be divided into a million million million equal parts and one of these parts brought to New York and weighed. We could easily find its weight In pounds or tons. Then MAl tiply this by a million million million. and we shall have a weight of the plan et. This would be equivalent to what astronomers might take as the mass of the planet.-Current Literature. A Use For His Hat. A funny incident of a drawing room meeting was recently noticed. A grave looking gentleman, with an unusually tall hat, entered and, seeing no rack in the hall, placed his hat on the floor just behind the door. Pretty soon another grave man entered, with a large, drip ping umbrella, and, peering anxiously for the usual receptacle, saw in the gloom the hat resting on the floor. His .eyesight was probably poor, for he mistook it for one of the new umbrella holders, and in It he deposited his drip ping umbrella. This was an example for those who followed, and In a short time the solemn looking hat was stanchly holding a dozen umbrellas. At the end of the meeting the water in the hat was an Inch In depth.-Londonl Tit-Bits. A Thirsty Cat. "Perhaps you think the old water in the milk joke has been worked to death, but I've found a new variation of it," said a south side man recently. "You know, I have a small negro girl as a nurse for my children, and one of her duties Is to tell stories to the kids just before bedtime. They always lis ten intently to what she says, and last night I decided to listen too. This is what I heard: "'An' de cat, she got thirsty, an' got thirstier an' mo' thirsty, an' finally she went to a pan ob milk sittin' in de pantry to get a drink ob watah.' "I told the story to our milkman ,tfis morning, and he didn't laugh at all." Kansas City Times. Absentminded.

"Thank you for reading it," he said. "It is the sixth unsuccessful drama I have written." The manager of 117 theaters gave him an encouraging pat on the shoul der. "Look here," he said. "I'll tell you what you want to do. You want to be gin less ambitious. Begin with a one act curtain raiser. And after you've wrote this here curtain raiser send it around with the sentence printed on the cover, 'You can play this for noth ing.' I guarantee you'll get a hearing then. Ten to one, by gosh, you'll get played." "A good idea" murmured the young man. "That's what it is," said the great manager. "I got It from Sidney Grun dy. It's how he began. His first play was a curtain raiser, 'A Little Change.' He said on it, 'Play it for nothing.' And the Haymarket theater took him up." Spectacles Demoralizing. A certain Somerset vicar made him. self notorious by the vigor -'ith which In the seventeenth century he inveigh ed against the use of the newly invent ed optic glasses, since they perverted vision and made all things appear in an unnatural and therefore a false light Microscopes and telescopds, with their array of lenses, he declared to be Impostors, since a man could not see so well with two pairs of spectacles as with one. Some asserted it to be sinful to assist the eyes, which wsre adapted by Providence to the capacity of the individual, whether good, bad or indif ferent. "It was argued that society at large would become demoralized by the use of spectacles. They would give one man an unfair advantage over his fellow anil every man an unfair ad vantage over every woman, who could not be expected on aesthetic and Intel lectual grounds to adopt the practice." -London Spectator. Put His Foot in it. On one occasion in Scotland a guest arriving rather late at a country house was qrtrtered 'in the haunted room. Although professing to be a skeptic, like many others, his courage vanished with the light. Determined, however, to trotect himself as well as possible, he placed a loaded revolver under his pillow and awaited events. As the clock struck midnight he saw a fleshy hand at the end of the bed, and, steadying his nerve, he addressed the visitant thus: "If you do not Instantly remove your hand I shall fire without further warning." He counted three and then discharged the bullet. A howl of pain which aroused the house hold followed, and It was soon'discov ered that the successful marksman had sllot away two of his own toes.

He was bundled into a dark van and driv en away on his long journey. Day after day, week after week, it lasted. Upon arrival he stepped out into the presence of--the czar. All the time he had been driven not toward Siberia, but around and around St. Petersburg! More News from the New England States.

Why It Rises Superior to Any Passing Fashion Dictntes Men generally protest against the changes of style in hats, and one of the sex has written to the New York Mail this complaint: Why attack as a "collapsible, many named pretender" the opera hat, or chapeaU de claque? I have such a hat and also a silk hat, In which respect I think I differ from most Gothamites. Whenever I have an option I wear the opera rather than the other. It's more convenient At the theater or opera you can car ry it better on your between the acts promenades. If there is no rack for your hat under the seat you can tuck it in your overcoat and put it on the floor under you without destroying it, as you would do with a silk hat If you put your hat in the rack un der your seat and then rise and stand close to it to permit a late comer to pass an opera hat suffers no damage. A silk hat would be either ruffled os crushed. The opera hat looks as well at all times as the silk hat and requires much less care. Indeed, I think it looks better. The glossy surface of a silk bat, like the glossy bosom of a stiff white shirt, is an uncomfortable survival of the time when men wore polished helmets and breastplates. There is so much reason in the opera hat that men of discrimination will continue to wear It, the style of the moment regardless. A Dog Habit Have you ever thought why It is that a dog turns around and around when he jumps up on his cushion or starts to settle himself anywhere for a nap? Now that you are reminded you can recall that you have seen a dog do It many times, can't you? This habit Is about all that is left to our tame little dogges of the days long ago, when they were a race of wild animals and lved In the woods. Their beds then were matted grass and leaves, and It was to trample enough grass and prop erly arrange the leaves that the dog al ways trod around a narrow circle be fore he would lie down. The dog of today keeps up the same old habit, al though there is no longer any nee o it and of course the animal has no notion why he does it. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the c inte of C ~ ~ 4 1TeSystbm Can Be Traced to titWeIftB Century B. C. Shorthand is so closely associated with the hurry and rush- of modern business that it is startling to- think of its having been in use among the ancient Greeks and Romans. Yet there seems to be no doubt that the orations of Cicero were committed to paper with as much skill and rapidity as the modem stenographer can boast. Just how old the system of abbre viated writing is which the'ancient Greeks called tachygraphy it is impos sible to say. Xenophon is believed to have used it in taking notes of the lec tures of Socrates, which would take it back to the fifth century before Christ. This Is disputed by some authorities, but there seems to be no doubt about its use in the first century. A writer in the Chicago Tribune gives some In teresting facts about it The development of shorthand was due especially to Marcus Tullius Tiro. Born In Latium In 103 B. C., Tiro, who was a slave, was brought up with Cicero, who was some years his junior. Freed, he became Cicero's secretary and in this capacity aided him greatly. In the famous trial of CaVilne -63 B. C.) the stenographic rapidity of Tiro was at its height. In the first century before Christ a discourse of Cato Uticensis, according to Plutarch, was taken down by short hand reporters. Early in the third century Anno Domino Is found the term -semelograph (stenographic character), used by the Greek orator, Flavius Philostratus. Origen of Alexandria (185-254 A. D.) noted his sermons down in shorthnd, and Socrates, the ecclesiastical his torian of the fourth century, said that parts of the sermons of St John. Chrys ostom were preserved by the same process. The shorthand that they used was a form of writing in which each word was represented by a special sign. The letters of the alphabet, with modifica tions, connected so as to- admit. of great rapidity of execution, formed the elements of these characters. Manilius, who was a contempoisry of Cicero, Virgil and Horace. mentions it In verse. He says: In shorthand skilled, where little marks comprise Whole words, a sentence in a single let ter lies . And, while the willing hand its. aid af fords. Prevents the tongue to fi the fallit worda. An Anecdote of Shelley.

To Do It the -Actor Spoileds-the Pay and Lost His Position. An American actress who had-tour~ed in.England was telling her experiences: and related an incident that amused her. She said: "In a play produced In the provinces there Is a scene In which the hero strikes the villain, who slinks- away without seeking to defend himself. One night in a large manufacturing town the young fellow who played the deep dyed scoundrel remarked- to the leading man before the curtain rose: "'I say, old chap, I've got my fiancee out in front tonight with her father andmother.'-Now, of course they don't know anything about our business, and Im afraid it would rather hurt me with them if I received-a blow and got away In the usual cowardly fashion. So, dear old chap, can't you omitithe blow tonight?' "'But, my boy, the management will fine me 2 shillings!' "'Well, I'll pay the fine.' "'Oh, yes! That's. all very 'well for you, but what do I get out of it? Nothing but a bad name with the pow ers that be:' "'Oh. well, I'll give you 2 shillings entra, or. better yet, you hit me as usual, and I'll hit back! They'll fine me, not you, and Il give you the' 2 shillings besides. You see how I'm sit uated. I shouldn't like the girl to mr' me up wit!' the character I play. Out siders are so- C-nny that' way.' - "So the compact was made, and that night when the hero cried, 'Sir DanieT Deepwater'-or something of that sort -'base offspring of a noble race, take that!' Sir Daniel not only 'took that,' but gave it back with such force that 'the pit in cheers rose at him,' includ ing his relatives to be by marriage, and he walked off the stage In triumph. "I am sorry to add he lost liis site-a ton, but he gained his point." Mrs. S Joyce, 180 Sullivan St., Clare mont, N. E., writes: "About a year ago I bought two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure.
