Gaftncy, S. C. MOTHER OF PEARL. THE QUALITY OF Tilt* lfifCiiMCr> of I it lay I It In l*re- •loofi*. The sole curiosity for sightseers in the city of Hanoi, a town of the French Tonquin, is the industry of inlaying mother of pearl in precious woods. In fact, one ■ licet, called tin .-dreet of the Inlayers, is given up to the trade. The' workmen are genuine artists, combin ing artistic perception with great man ual skill. Furnished with rude tools, hut with giv.-if patience and skill, these workmen produce articles of great beauty. They have applied tl*.* princi ple of division of labor, or specializa tion, to their work. The cabinet mak ers first put together the various parts of the materials to be incrusted. The joining is done without the irfd of nails and with a nice system of dovetailing and use of paste, of which lacquer is | the base. From this cabinet maker the wood passes into the hands of the de-1 signer, who makes sketches for its or- ! nameutation on rice paper. These designs are transferred to the wood by the inlayer, whose duty it is j to choose the pearl ^Lat will best serve i to bring out the beauty of the design. ! The mother of pearl is obtained from a large species of shellfish, called casque, caught chiefly upon the shores of the i Island of Pouloeondar. The Inlayer cuts the pieces of pearl into little hits and chooses the combi- I nation of colors which will make the contrast necessary for the artistic suc cess of Ids work. The iridescence is | heightened by the use of pearl dust ! furnished by a kind of mussel taken ! from the brooks of that region. When the bits of mosaic are chosen the in layer tries to give them the form of the ! design chosen and disposes them as a mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel Is made translucent by pumice stone. ! The pearl is then fixed in a vise, and , the labor of patience begins. Kneeling , before the vise, he shapes the pieces ' with a file no larger than an ordinary 1 color crayon. When the pearl is shaped it is necessary to trench it in the wood. ; This is ordinarily done by children fourteen or fifteen years old. The bits of pearl are then set in the grooves j and fixed with paste. The whole is ! gently heated t~ melt the paste and so ; fill the Interstices. The design is then j polished, varnished and given the fin ishing touches. The work has been counterfeited, but never successfully.— New York Herald. GENIUS Mnn'» It* I’rru-f l*-:: 1 A !»>.»> rnl ioi nt a B«"s» l-avnltit-M. To he a gn*ut lawyer is incompatible whh being a great p< a. Nevertheless. Shakespeare was fond of showing be hit»■ * ! gal knowledge. ,.ad I’.aeon has a: aim* verse. There have been a riiers of eminence, like Walter Scot, and Thackeray, who were lawyers by profession, but they must have made law quite subordinate to literature, al though some of them, like Walter Scott, have got money by following the law. Hoffman, the author of “The I’ol of Hold" and other imaginative stories, was a man of genius, who was also a judge or a magistrate. I think, howev er, that his legal duties sat lightly on him. llis connection with the law seems somewhat similar to that of Walter Scott. It was neither absorb ing nor permanent. Politicians turn to literature. Literary men. like Cha teaubriand and Lamartine, have held high places as politicians, but they never were real statesmen, and 1 should not call them men of great genius. A man of action may be great in more fields of action than one. Juiius Cnesar and Napoleon Bonapart*- were statesmen and generals, but they were not and could not be poets, though Julius Ciesar was a writer. Among the ancient Greeks and later Spaniards and Portuguese we find poets who were soldiers and even gen erals. They, however, were not wholly military. Only a part, and sometimes a small part, of their lives was spent in service. Horace’s experience of war was very short, and. although he was a military tribune, he was not .a dis tlnguished soldier. A man may !>• excellent in more ways than one. Inr j he cannot be a man of genius in tw. A few instances, su 1.

Ichthyosaurus is a name much jest ed with because it rivals the mastodon as a most widely known fossil, dating back to its discovery by Sir Edward R. Home, between 1814 and 1819, in the marine deposits of Lyme-Regis. England. The name, signifying “fish lizard,” shows that this animal im pressed Konig, its describer, as having a fishlike backbone combinal with a shoulder girdle of the lizard or saurian type. This term could not have been more happily chosen, because, while re taining the skeleton of an atavistic and extremely ancient lizard, the ichthyo saur evolved a most strikingly modern external likeness to certain very fa miliar animals of the sea.—Henry Fair- field Osborn in Century. STEPS THAT BETRAY. Steps that are quick are indicative ol energy and agitation. Tiptoe walking betrays surprise, cu riosity. discretion or mystery. Turned in toes are often found with preoccupied, absent minded persons. The miser’s walk is represented as stooping, noiseless, with short, nerv ous, anxious steps. The proud step is slow and measured. The toes are conspicuously turned out the legs straightened. Slow steps, whether long or shortl suggest a gentle or reflective state of mind, as the case may be. The direction of the steps wavering and following every changing impulse of the mind inevitably betrays uncer tainty, hesitation and indecision. Obstinate people who in argument rely more on muscularity than on in tellectual power rest the feet flatly and firmly on the ground, walking heavily and slowly, and stand with the legs firmly planted far apart. A Fine Opening: For a Young: Man. “Yes,” said Mrs. Malone to the old friend who was picking up the threads of family history, "my Bobby, he’s traveling with a circus now.” “Pretty hard work, isn’t it?” inquired the Interested caller. “Never a bit of it.” returned the proud mother of Bobby. “He’s living like a gentleman, he is—hands in his i pockets, as ye might say—for it's a handsome salary lie gets, and every blessed thing he lias to do is to lay his head in the lion’s mouth a matter of some two or three times a day or there about.”—Youth's Companion. 11 i» Waterloo.

A newspaper man was the second in line at the box olflee of one of the popu lar theaters on the opening night. The first man asked for four seats, and when he started to pay for them the man in the box office said: “Oh, that’s all right. There's no charge at all for those seats.” The man looked surprised, thanked the ticket manipulator and went on. Then the newspaper man bad his turn, and ho said: “Please satisfy impertinent curiosity and tell mo why you wouldn't take that man’s money.” “Well.” said the treasurer, “I expect you didn't notice that that man was cross eyed. If I had sold him the first rickets we wouldn’t have had a bit of luck through the whole engagement.” - New York Times. Knew One of Them. “Of course, Mr. Soph more, you are familiar with all the great plays,” re marked Miss Kulcher. “Now, do you consider Goldsmith’s as clever as Sher idan’s?” "Goldsmith?” replied Sophmore. “He must belong to some minor college.
