Romance Surrounding Them Tran
scend Thit of Any Other of th
World'! Prlied Gems.
What unbelievable romance ther li
In Ihe lives of certain pearls, passion
ately admired, desired, awaited, stolen,
sold as beautiful slaves, then returned
again to their glory In the oriental
luxury of a diadem or on the neck of
an empress! Reflect upon those which
were enshrouded thousands of years
ago In the Jade casket of some Chi
nese emperor, and which, suddenly ex
humed, find new life In reflecting the
sky! Others, In Greece, have adorned
the statues of Venus In the temples
or, at Home, after the conquest of the
East, have received Imperial honor.
The patrician women, M. Rosenthal re
minds us, decked themselves with
pearls during their slumbers tc possess
them In their dreams, and they sus
pended them by threes from their ears
Ihnt the tinkling of the pendants
might remind them of their beauty
which they could not see.
There was that pearl of a million
which Julius Caesar offered to Ser
vllla. mother of Brutus. There were.
In our history, the pearls of Isabel de
Iiavlere, of Murv Stuart, the gift of
Catherine de Mcdld, and those of
Henry III. Pearls were present at
dramutlc moments, concerning which
they tell us with more Impressive ex
actness than the historians of the
time; and you can Imagine all that the
gems which adorn the portraits of the
Florentine Renaissance must know of
the tragic Intimacies of that sensuous
sixteenth century, so gorgeous and
murderous. One pearl once had a fa
mous name, the name of a courtesan.
It was called La I'erlgrlna (The In
cnmpnrnhle). It belonged to King
Philip II of Spain, and Snint-Slmon
(the historian) felt himself glorified
from having once held It. for an In
stant. In his hands. "Flaneur," In In

JELLYFISH'S STING NO JOKE
Pest Known as "Portuguese Man-of-
War" Is Dreaded by Bathers, for
Excellent Reasons.
The Jellyfish has long been the sub
ject of mirth and Jest, but at times It
Is aggressive and formidable, and Its
sting Is n source of fear for bathers.
The sting of the southern Portuguese
Jellyfish, known technically as the No-
nieiiR, Is very severe.
Jellyflh are found In the trade
wind helts of all oceans. Each Por
tuguese "man-of-war." as the Jellyfish
Is sometimes known, Is made up of a
number of small animals of the Jelly
fish order, which have In common an
Iridescent colored. buhhle-llkP float,
about the size of n man's hand, which
rests on the surface nf the water. A
fin or sail enables the flnnt to mnke
headway across the wind, rather than
with It. The Jellyfish has lone paper
like tentacles, and these are equipped
with the stings. When they hrnsh
against bathers they burn and leave
red welts that Itch and burn for hours,
and should two or three pass over a
man's arm at once, they would almost
1mrulyze It. Some years ago scientists
discovered a little man-of-war fish that
Bceompnnles the mnn-of-war Jellyfish.
It swims around the float until danger
threatens, when It sneaks underneath
and Is safe from harm under the pro
tection of Ihe Jellyfish's tentacles.

Possible Cause of Fever.
The Mi'dlcnl Journal asks If "nil fe

It, may not he due to some chance In
the fluids of the body which prevents

to keep the body cool."
It may bp that the practice of mak

another purpose limn the wnsblnc out
of Impurities from the blood, this be
Inf an actual coollns by evaporation.
"An abundance of water has been
found beneficial In fevers, and there
are many clinicians who are decidedly
of the opinion (hat cold-water baths
have much more than merely a direct
and mechanical refriceratlnc purpose,
for they are followed by rather free
diuresis and often also by perspira

tions for bath In fever is thai the
skin Is dry and hot, for It Is under
these circumstances that the bath will
do much pood."

Birds' Speed Deceptive.
An Interesting check on some of

to paint a duck on a long board at
the end of an express train running
at, say CO mile? un hour, nnd let the
gunner blnze away at the painted duck
at normal duck-shoollng ranges to
check up the speed of the painted bird,
with the "lead" necessary to give Ihe
charge to hit Ihe wild duck alleged to
have gone 100 miles per. Neither train
nor long-winged honker gives a fair
Idea of the actual speed, because they
are both large; the little bird often deceives.
Every-Day Fellowmen.
There are few prophets In the
world, , , . few heroes. I cannot af
ford to give all my reverence to such
rarities; I want a grent deal of those
feelings for my every-day fellowmen,
especially for the few In the fore
ground of the great multitude, whose
faces I know, whose hands I touch, for
whom I have to make wny with kindly
courtesy. . , , I herewith discharge
my conscience mid declare that I have
had quite enthusiastic movements of
admiration toward gentlemen who
spoke the worst Kngllsh, who were
occasionally fretful In Ihler temper,
and who had never moved In a higher
sphere of Influence than that of parish
overseer; and that the way In which
I have come to the conclusion thnt
human nature Is lovable the wny I
have learnt something of Its deep
pathoB, Its sublime mysteries has
been by livings grent deal among peo
ple more or less commonplace and
vulgnr, of whom you would perhaps
hear nothing very surprising If you
were to Inquire about them In the
neighborhoods where they dwelt.
