MOTHER-OF-PEARL FISHING.
One of tlm MtMt ImTPllnij Industrie
Piirnupd l.r tlio IIoiIoiiImh.
Mother-of-pearl fishing is earned on
nil over the Hod Sea, from tlio north
down to the Gulf of Aden, but the bust
fishing-grounds nro in the neighbor
hood of Suakin, Mnssowah and the
Farsan Islands. The (felling fleet con
sists of about three hundred boat,
mostly belonging to the Zobeild Be
douins, a tribe inhabiting the const be
tween ifcddah and Yambo. About fifty
belong to Jeddah, and others to other
localities. They are open boats, of
from eight to twenty tons burden, with
ono lateen sail. The crew varies from
eight to twelvo men. There are two
different fishing seasons, ono of four
and tho other of eight months, and
during those tho boats remain almost
constantly at sea, except for a few
weeks. 1 lie crew, consisting in great
part of black slaves, receives two
thirds of tho catch, deductions being
made for their food; the owners of tho
boat keep the other third. Accidents
are seldom heard of, and divers are
remarkable for their physical vigor
and robust health. They range
in age between ton and forty,
and tlio work seems to do
them no harm. Tlio fishing grounds
are in tho neighborhood of coral reefs,
where the boats nro anchored; tlio di
vers then go out in small canoes, spe
cially imported from the Malabar coast
for the purpose, and begin their work
all round. It is necessary that the sea
should bo calm, otherwise the shells
can not bo seen. I or some years past
the negroes have been in the habit of
using old tin canisters, with glass in
tlio bottom, to enable them to see bet
ter. In the course of the past ten
years the catch has fallen ten to twenty
per cent., but by reason of tho in
creased price, good and bad shells have
met with a ready sale. Tho annual
production varies from $1'20,000 to
$170,000. During the last season of
four months it readied only $20,000,
against $10,000 to $50,000 in tho cor
responding periods of other years.
Jeddah was formerly the solo market,
but on account of the corruption of the
customs officials there tlio port only re
ceives about a quarter of the catch
now, tho rest going to Suakin and
Mnssowah. Pearls to tho valuo of
$1,000 to ..r,000 are found annually;
but this estimate is uncertain, as
mo larger ami more valuable ones
are sold secretly. Tho motlier-of-pearl
shells are sold at public auction in
Jeddah in lots of about fifty pounds.
Ton years ago all that came on the
market at Jeddah was shipped off in
Arab vessels to Suez, whence it was
sent to Cairo, where it was sold. At
present the greater part is sent to
Iriesto. the rest going to Havre and
London. Tlio largest and most perfect
and beautiful shells are purchased by
traders from Bethlehem, who take
them home, and cut and sell them to
pilgrims. Jeddah shells are less valued
in Europe than those of Suakin and
Mnssowah, because of their yellow
tinge
In an ordinary lot of shells, as
sold in tho market, nine per cent, will
he large, twenty
twenty per cent, medium
sized, twenty-live per cent, small
medium, ten per cent, small, twenty
two percent, dead or cracked, and six
percent, will consist of impurities and
coralloid marble. Some years since a'
German attempted pearl-fishing with a
licet maimed by Greeks, but as tlio ex
periment was never renewed it is to bo
presumed that it was a failure.

Just a little south of Livingstone's

that cannibalism is practiced among
the principal chiefs of the great Vao

east, of Nyassa. Tlio practice of
eating human flesh is carried on only
in secret, and the leading men in the
tribe alono partake of these baiuiuets.
Mr. Last was told, as an excellent joke
on the Mohammedans, that a few of

STRANGE IMPULSES.
Unaccountnliln Action Committed by
SrcinlnRly Snnn Persons.
A very unaccountable outrage is re
corded of Charles Matthews. Ho had
lived for somo days a very restless and
inactive life. In this stato of mind a
party of gentlemen called upon him
and proposed a day's excursion. "M3
husband's depressed spirits," su-s Mrs.
Matthews, "were exhilarated by the
beauty of the weather and tho prospect
f a day's pleasure in the open air.
He had not ridden out of tho city for
somo weeks, and was in a state of
childish delight and excitement. At
this moment his eyes turned on ono of
the party, a very littlo man, who was
perched on a very tall horse, and who
seemed unusually grand and impor
tant. Mr. Matthews looked at him for
a moment, and the next knocked him
oil with a smart blow, felling liim to
tlio ground. The whole party was
struck with horror, but no one felt
more shocked than he who had com
mitted the outrage. Ho dismounted,
picked up tlio littlo A'ictim, and de
clared himself unable to give any mo
tive for the action, bn that it was an
impulse ho could not resist"
A laborer in Paris returning home I
from his work one evening was seized
with an unconquerable desire to run.
Ho rushed upon the quay which goes
from tho Louvre to tho Grove, over
coming every obstacle. Many at
tempts were made to stop him,
but without success, and ho con
tinued running, irresistibly im
pelled, and yet desiring to stop,
until ho engaged one arm in a wheel
of a carriage. Thus retained, lie re
covered his breath and walked away as
if nothing had happened. Ho was fre
quently seized with this propensity to
run, and was at length confined in the
hospital, when it was discovered that
he had a disease of the spinal marrow.
One day a man rushed down to the
parallel of the Pont Nouf and threw
himself oil" into the Seine. Some of the
bystanders saw him and dragged him
out. On being questioned as to his
motive for acting in so strange a man
ner ho replied: "I can not give any ac
count; I am in the happiest situation in
the world; I have never been ill; I have
no present troubles; nor, to my knowl
edge, approaching ones. 1 can only
recollect my arrival on the Pont Neuf
and being dragged out of the water."

Transplanting Trees.
At whatever ago or season trees are
transplanted, success depends largely
upon the mauiier in which the opera
tion of raising the roots of the trees
is performed. Some people think that
if they get a good ball of soil with the
root it is enough; but it all depends
whore the roots are. Trees that pro
duce a bunch of roots will move with
a small ball, because all tho roots are
next to the stem; but in tlio great ma
jority of trees tho roots spread out to
a considerable distanbe, and mostly all
the fibrous or feeding roots are at the
extremities, and hence these must be
preserved. The object of having soil
to the roots is simply to preserve the
small rootlets, and, "if these could bo
had without the soil, it would auswei
almost as well; only many roots arc
necessarily lot in digging the soil

estates, where a nursery is provided,
many trees of a few special kinds may
be kept tor filling up blanks; and if
they are 0110 or two years previously
root-pruned or dug around, thoy will

AN INDIAN MILLIONAIRE.
Mntthln Split Ine nnd tlio Kallroad lie Is
HulldliiK Out Went.
Had nnj one predicted a quarter of
a century ago that an American Indian
would build a railroad he would havo
been considered a fit object for a lunatic
asylum. But to-day the peojde of New
ton County, Mo., a county adjoining
tlio Indian Territory, havo witnessed a
scene such as man has never before be
held. Matthias Splitlog, a half Cayuga
and half Wyandotte Indian, born in an
Indian village in Canada, at Neosho
drove the first spike for tho Kansas
City, Fort Smith & Southern railway.
This division of the Kansas City, Fort
Smith & Southern railway was chart
ered the 8th of last March under the
laws of the Stato of Missouri, with a
capital of three million dollars, and
now there are about thirty-livo miles
graded and ready for tlio iron.
Mr. Splitlog lias furnished tho
"sinews of war" out of Ids own ample
fortune, and is backed by heavy capi
talists to complete the road, and beforo
the 1st of next January he will havo
tlio cars running from Joplin, in Jasper
County, to the town of Splitlog. in Mc
Donald County, a distance of about
thirty-livo miles, and Mitthias Split-
jug. loo millionaire Indian, who is
probably the richest man of his race,
will henceforth bo known all over the
country as the only Indian railroad
man (at least the first) in tho United
States or in the whole world.
Tho occasion of driving tlio first
spike on the main line of this new road
was a matter of more than ordinary in
terest to the people of Neosho. At
3:15 there were about one thousand
people assembled at the point Avhoro
the main lino crosses the Frisco track.
After music by the Indian band from
the Territory, and selections from the
iNeoslio hand, Mr. Charles W. Smith,
auditor of the construction company,
held the spike in position, and in four
bold strokes Mr. Splitlog drovo tho
spike homo into a carefully selected
wiiiio oaic ue. unecr .-iter clieer was
given for the road, Matthias Splitlog,
Neosho and tho enterprise, after which
many came to tho track to look at the
spike. Mr. Splitlog wielded the sledge
with a familiarity and precision which
indicated that lie had used his sledge
with good elleet when he built his
steamboat on the Detroit river.
Mr. Splitlog was born in tlio year
181.1, and when a boy was apprenticed
to a carpenter and millwright, and,

came West with some of the tribe, and
found, after his arrival at West port
landing (uow Kansas Citv), that he
only had fifty cents 111 his pocket. He
induced an old Indian to go his seeuritv
for the price of an axe. With this axe
he cut cordwood for the steamboats at
twenty-live cents per cord, and, after
paying for the axe, which cost two dol
lars, ho soon saved enough to buy a
pony.
About tho year 18 1G ho married Eliza

Something About the Xeir Stylci In Jack,
rt nnd .Millinery.
A warm jacket is ono of tho first ad
ditions to tlio wardrobe when prepar
ing for the cool autumn and winter
days. Braided cloth coats nro im
ported for autumn in dark shades that
may bo worn with various drosses,
such as navy blue, gray-blue, brown,
green and dark steel gray. Tho
materials used for these tailor-mado
even lengin arouiiu me siiiesand uacK.
Single-breasted coats will be more seen
in line, smooth cloths, tho double
breasted fronts being reserved for
garments of rough, Scotch tweeds.
Vests remain in favor, some boinsr
very slender, and others genuine
1 waistcoats set in tlio underarm seams
of the coat. The backs nro fitted by
1 one or two forms on each side, tlio
middlo forms lap in tho middle seam,
and tho waist lino is defined by two
1 buttons. Collars aro very high, with
j buckram interlining. Sleeve aro close
coat shape, with buttons and btitton
) holes on the wrists. Pockets may bo
! set outside along tho hips in square
1 shapes or braided, or be intermediate,
with only a slit iu tlio cloth for tlio
opening. Small fancy buttons aro
used 011 vests, while plain lasting or
' bone luttons are used on the coats.
Openings of millinery at the whole
J sale houses show the various material
already noted made up into bonnets
and round hats for the early autumn
and for winter. Soft felt bonnets of
the pliable felt made up in folds and
plaits on a frame precisely as cloth
would be used are shown for general
wear. There are also still' felt bonnets
with rows of pinking all over them, or
else merely pinked edges for those who
prefer them. The square of felt which
forms tho soft folded crown sometimes
furnishes the twist or corrugated folds
that edge the front of the brim, also
some pointed ends that aro tied in a
bow on top, or else made to stand
erect. The embroidered felts showing
small flowers done in the shade of the
felt, or else witli beaded wheat or leaf
pattern in borders, are considered most
dressy. A twist in front and pointed
pinked ends of rich repped faille aro
sufli'.'icut trimming for full-crowned
felt bonnets, though a tuft of quills or
of curved cocks' plumes maybe added,
j Tlm newest bonnets hnve lnn.ro
crowns, not indented at tlio ends, and
many have long pointed poke fronts
lilledi n with a slight face trimming.
The coronet fronts of beads, of feath
ers anil of velvet are also largely im-
I ,,ort,.(i
