STRINGING PEARLS Only the Choicest Silk Is Used For the Best Jewels. TYING KNOTS AS A FINE ART. Trie Perfect Hang of the Neeklaoe D awnds Upon Hew That Tiny Twiata Are Formed, and It May Taka a Year to Maater tha Knaok. Th peart stringers themselves call It "trade." They sr not the kind of people to talk about art If tbey ae anything of their work beyond the proaalc fact that "stringing" la a good employment It la only an Indirect and aomewhat ague appreciation of the delicate attraction of the pearla tbey handle. Although not professing to be expert Judge. I have never met a pearl atrlnger yet whose eye and taste were not trained to a One perception of the form and color of the beamy. Iridescent luster of the Jewel of the ahellfisb. It would be as Impossible (or them to mistake an artificial pearl for a real one as It would be for a lapidary to begin to polish a piece of (lass under the Impression It was a diamond. It la often said that the little known industry of pearl stringing Is dying eut, but this Is not the tact No ma chinery is yet Invented to supersede the ten clever fingers of the practiced stringer. The industry la exclusive, too, and a cosiness has often been passed on from mother to daughter, even from grandmother to grandchild. Drilling and mounting of pearls la quite a different branch of the Indus try. Good light Is one of the essential Deeds of the pearl stringer, especially when she Is employed in making or re- ) pairing aeed pearl ornaments. All the beads have to be arranged according to their size and then separately and j most carefully sewed into place on their dainty framework. For Instance, If the design Is that of a flower or leaf i the skill lies In graduating from the , biggest pearl to the one that touches the extreme point Some of these or naments, by the way, are very old, for if they are carefully handled there la no reason why tbey should not be a Joy. If not forever, at all events for aa long as the handsome, antique pen dants and Dearl studded medals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries ' that one still admires in the British museum. Only the finest silk is ased for string ing the- finest pearls. Great beads, round and shiny, unmistakably artifi cial and with no more real luster than white marbles with the exception of what are called Roman pearls, manu factured many years ago may be al lowed to hang together on catgut, but orients must be threaded, pearl kiss ing pearl, on silken strands worthy of their shape snd "skin." Now the art of the stringer Ilea In the apparently simple manner of tying the knot that attaches the snap. Some times also she has to make knot between bead and bead, a method that adds to the length of the necklace, but detracts from the beauty of the line of pearls. The knack of making this tiny knot will perhaps take a girl a year to master; the perfect bang of the beads, neither too loose nor too tight depends on bow It is made. There Is no needle fine enough for threading small seed pearls, so the stringer makes ber own out of piece f wire as thin as a hair. She arranges ber pearla, if tbey are of different sizes, on a grooved board covered with billiard table cloth, any other material, euch as green baize, being much too coarse. When she la making a tassel or loops. It Is pretty to watch ber bold ber work at arm'i length every few minutes, measuring Its size and effect with her well trained eye. It Is hardly necessary to speak of the strict Integrity and unfailing care re quired In a pearl stringer. Hbe is in trusted with great possessions, for the value of pearls is continually on the In crease. There are some ladies who never trust their treasures out of their own bouses, but arrange, through a Jeweler, for a pearl stringer to call so many times a year to repair ornaments or restrlng necklaces. The work of the pearl stringer la so little known, so quiet and dainty, that it is doubtful If one in a thousand women who stop to admire and covet as they pass show windows ever gives a thought to the patient fingers that faave threaded the beautiful beads and tied the almost invisible, cunning knots that link them to their diamond clasps. The little band of stringers are very simple, but businesslike people in their bumble workrooms-devotees of beau ty, although tbey are unconscious of the fact, and true artists in the per fection of their work.-London Chron icle.

FIREFLIES" nr ft Cstchlna Them Fee Dewretlve Pur pssss Is a Regular Trade. In Japan there Is followed the pretty custom of employing In garden parties and In various other social functions the native BreOlesyor purposes of dec orative Illumination. In some cases these tiny creature are disponed about In cages; sometimes they are released In swarma In the presence of guests. To meet the demand for Ore dies thus need it follows that there must be some systematic method of effecting their capture in sufficient quantities. There are a number of concerns in the Japa nese cities that employ men to catch the 11 retitea. These hunters proceed about their task in this way:' The start is made at sunset and the hunter takes with him a long bamboo pole and a bag of mosquito netting. When a suitable growth of willows near water Is reached the hunter makes ready hla net aud strikes the branches, filled with the insects, with bis pole. This jars tbem to the ground, where tbey may easily be gathered If one proceed about the Job quickly before they hare had time to recover and fly away. The skilled hunter, sparing no time to put them at once into hla bag, usee both hands to pick them up, and be tosses them lightly into hla apron, where be holds them unharmed until It can contain no more. Then he trans fers them to his bag. This work proceeds until about 2 o'clock in the morning, at which hour the insects are beginning to leave the trees for the dewy solL Then the hunter changes his tactics. He brushes the surface of the ground with a light broom to startle the Insects Into flight when they are taken as before. It is said that an expert may capture as many as 3,000 in a single night Wash ington Star. STICKY FEET OF THE FLY. Why the Germ Laden Pest Constantly Rubs and Brushes Thsm. Before the men of science terrified the world with tbelr talk of germs most people thought that the housefly was a harmless creature and very cleanly In his habits, since be seemed to spend a great part of his time in cleaning his legs, but since public opin ion has turned against him some ex planation has to be found for his ap parent cleanliness. Says the Blbliothek der Cnterbaltung und des Wissens: "The fact that a fly can walk on a glazed or slippery perpendicular sur face baa long been a matter of obser vation. It was at first thought that the One hairs that cover his legs were so small that they could enter the pores of the smoothest surface and in that way bear the weight of his body. Later it waa thought that a sticky fluid waa secreted by the feet which caused tbem to adhere slightly to the wall. The advent of the microscope has made It possible to observe the precise facts about the fly'a unusual powers. "It is true that the fly's feet secrete a kind of grease, but not in a liquid form. Each leg has from 1,600 to 2.000 minute hairs, and each hair carries a certain amount of this fat When the fly lights on a smooth surface the whole mass of hairs adheres to it and each Individual hair can be seen under the microscope to leave a distinct grease spot which has a little circu lar mark in Its center made by the hair Itself. "With such sticky feet It Is naturally the case that the fly collects a good deal of dust In the course of bis dally perambulations. If be wishes to wslk on glass or upside down on the ceil ing be must spend a few hours every day keeping his feet clean of this coat ing of dirt" 8poiled His Chance. "Why don't you propose to that girl? Ton like ber, and I'm sure she would have you." "All true, but there Is an Insuperable obstacle between us." "All family or religious objections can be overcome."

Avid the Big Difference It Makes When They Are Eaten Raw, Sneaking about keeping hotels, Sime on Ford, who won fame and fortune In that profession, bad this to say about the succuleut oyster: "People bsve come and sworn to me that we had the finest oyster In the world. Now, that was all tommy rot We bad the same oysters any one els could buy, although w always bought the beat we could. But there Is this about the oyster: When he is good be Is very, very good; when be la bad be Is very, very bad.

Wherein Our Edueators Often Put the Cart Before the Horse, This simple principle (spirit befort discipline w sometime seem to loss sight of In our education, consistently putting the cart before the horse. In the days of the renaissance, when people bad caught a vision of a new world, they studied Greek with avidity because tbey believed It wa a path Into that world. W reverse the process. We set our students to grind ing Greek verbs In order that In an In definite future tbey may come In con tact with the Hellenic spirit when what they wanted waa a touch of the Hellenic spirit to transform the Qreek grammar Into a book of magic, We set tbem to cutting np earth worms when what they wanted Drat waa to bave their thought turned to ward the mystery of physical Ufa.

The Topcka State Journal, a supporter of Prohibition, on July 8, 1913, published the statement that approximately 1,500,000 QUARTS OF LIQUOR were legally shipped into the state of Kansas each year. Kansas got no revenue-other states got the money! , Should we place ProhlbltlonliU like to talk about Kansas. They say It has been dry for 34 years and has made a record. Ha it? Kanmt Prohibition Is what ent Carrie Nation on the warpath with her hatchet. It wa in Topeka,Kannai, that Mr: Nation opentd her home for the wivei of men who got drunk on Kansai Prohibition liquor. Yet Prohibitionists tell us that as the capital city of dry Kansas, Topcka is a model. Rev. Robert Gordon, pastor ol the First Baptist Church, Topcka, who hag been a Prohibitionist all his life, said from his pulpit: "There are 140 joint in Topeka where intoxicating liquor i told." To prove It, he went out and bought a keg of beer, two cases of bot tled beer, a suitcase full of whis key, and all the gin and wine he could carry. That U what the ProhibitionUU thenuelvet tell if about Kaneae. Records of County Clerks, Express Companies and Railroads in Kansas show that Kansas consumes just as much liquor under Prohibition as it did when it had legally licensed saloons. The state now gets no public revenue from this liquor. The "blind-pig" and the "boot-legger" have taken the place of the regulated saloon and ply their illicit trade in alleys and under cover of darkness.
