The fashion of silver weddings dates back to the ieign of Hugues Capet, king of France, In 987. Once as Hugues was arranging his uncle's af fairs he found on one of the estates a servant who had grown gray in the service of his relative. On the farm with this old man was also a serving woman, who was as old as he and also unmarried, who had been the most devoted and hardworking of the wom en servants of the king's uncle. When the king heard these praises of the two he ordered them-to be brought before him and said to the woman: "Your service is great, greater than this man's, whose services were great enough, for the woman always finds work and obedience harder than a man, and therefore I will give you a reward. At your age I know of none better than a dowry and a husband. The dowry Is -here-this farm from this time forth belongs to you. If this man who has worked with you five and twenty years is willing to marry you then the husband is ready." "Your majesty," stuttered the old peasant confusedly, "how is It possi ble that we should marry, having al ready silver hairs?" "Then it shall.be a silver wedding," answered the king, "and here I give you a wedding ring," drawing a cost ly ring from his finger and placing the hands of the thankful old people to gether. This soon became known all over France and raised such enthusiasm that it became a fashion after twenty five years of married life to celebrate a. silver weddingr New York's First Tavern. In 1642 New York's first city tavern was opened. It soon became the'bead quarters of much of the public business of the little town until 1653, when, to supply the needs of a regular munici pal building, the tavern was purchased from the authorities in Amsterdam and became the first city hall, reanining as such until 1799, when the new city hall vas erected at the head of Broad street, :he site now occupied by the subtreas n-y building.-New York Times.

ALL .ARE BELIEVERS lil LUCK. A Mussel That Holds the Coveted Prize Looks Just the Same as One That May Be Worthless, and Thousands May Be Opened In Vain. The pearl fishermen of the Upper White river in Arkansas are the most hopeful of mortals, ever dreaming of picking from curiously shaped shells big pearls of such value as to sweep them into the realms of prosperity at one grand stroke. They are optimists and true gamblers that worship at the throne of the goddess of luck. A thou sand shells may not contain as much as a worthless slug. The next one they open may contain a rare gem worth thousands of dollars. They are ready and willing to take the chance. They may come out to the good or they may come out mosquito bitten, full of malaria, with trembling knees. The pearl fisher of the Upper '';te is a true sport, as are the buyers. They are willing to take long odds in hope of pulling down a big stake. They are of the same disposition as the city man'who gambles on the po nies or of the miner who follows his pick underground, betting against long odds and fate that he will win. They are optimistic and hopeful, and it is impossible to discourage them. They are believers in luck and as 'strong in their faith as a Quaker. Every pearl fisher has his favorite among the pearl bearing mussels. Some like the washboard, a long rough shell. Others like the niggerhead, a small round shell, black and rough. Others cling with inborn faith to the spectacle, a long shell, shaped much like a spec table case, while others hold to the fantail and- mucket. It Is only a mat ter of fancy, however, l are pearl bearing if they have passed through the right conditions that go to make the pearl. The chance of finding one of these rests with luck and luck alone, for there are some 500 different kinds of fresh water mussels that bear pearls. A large majority of these are to be found In the White river. A mussel with a pearl in it looks just the same as one that has none, and it Is simply a matter of opening them to determine which one carries a valuable gem. The equipment of a White river pearl fisher ranges in value from several hundred dollars down to nothing. Really one can start in with nothing but an old knife or sharp edged instru ment with which to open the shells. If a man can get the opening tool he can always find a partner with a gunny sack and that Is all that he needs to woo fortune with. He can use the knife on the bank to open the shells with, his partner gathering them from the bed of the river in shallow places, carrying them to him on the bank. You don't have to get permission, either, to go to work. Uncle Sam, doesn't charge a cent. Just find a place and get busy. This applies, however, only to some unoccupied mussel bed. If there is some one else at work-on a bed when you arrive and he Is larger than you, leave him alone. It is his by might and right of discovery, and these are twoof the natural laws gov erning operations among the pearl fish ers of the Upper White. The pearls found on the White river are of good luster and bring fancy prices when free from flaws. They are of many shapes and sizes. The slugs: are the most worthless and seldom: bring over $1. Baroques, which are slugs, but which have a fine luster, bring up as high as $25 or $30. True pearls, those of a definite shape-baD, oVal, pearl shaped, drop or button bring prices up to as high as ,00 f they possess the size, color and luster. Besides these there Is the peeler. A peeler Is a .vearl with a rough exterior that may have a smootht Interior when the rough outside covering is peeled away. Peeling is the biggest gamble in the industry. A buyer may pick up a gem for a few dollars, risk his judg ment on it'and peel out a gem worth several hundred. Again he may ruin t and lose all. For the past four years. which have een extremely dry ones, pearl fishing as been general, and the mussel beds ave been greatly depleted.-Washing on Post.__ ____ Harpers Ferry.
