PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From the Mississippi Only
Slightly Second in Demand to
Deep Water Products.
Arkansas Is the greatest pearl pro
ducing state In the Union, and hun
dreds of men engage in the pearl
hunt. It is said that the fresh water
pearl of Arkansas of the highest class
cannot be distinguished from the fin
est deep sea Jewel. Throughout the
south generally thousands of people
follow the pearl fishing industry and
make a comfortable living at it. Up
to a few years ago the Jewel wealth
contained in the river beds of the
Mississippi valley was completely hid
den. It was not supposed that the
fresh water mussel was a pearl bear
er, or that It had any value except for
fish bait.
The fresh water mussel Is sought
now not only for the precious stone It
may have hidden In Its shell, but for
the shell Itself, which is manufac
tured into stick pins, cuff links, and
buttons of every description. The
shell fisheries have for years extend
ed far up the Mississippi river. A re
cent writer on the subject puts fresh
water pearls into four classifications
—true pearls, baroques, slugB, and
chicken feed.
The first, or true, pearl, jire of a
definite shape, and regular form,
round, oval, or pear shaped. These
command the highest prices. Baroques
are pearls of irregular form. Slugs
are low grade baroques. The smaller
size, the kind used In inexpensive
though genuine and neat jewelry, go
by the professional name of chicken
I feed.
MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was the “Forbidden Fruit” in the
Garden of Eden.
Why and how it has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den of Eden is one of the great puz
zles of Biblical scholars. The fact is
that in Genesis 3, where the incident
of the eating of this fruit of the “Tree
of Knowledge of Good and Evil” is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. All that is said is: “And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat” (verse 6).
In fact, scholars doubt very serious
ly whether it was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to it having been the quince, fragrance
of which was held in the highest es
teem by the Orientals. Another point
In favor of the quince is that it Is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and In a great many
of the ancient writings the quince is
very frequently mentioned in this man
ner. In Babylonia Ishtar took the
place of Venus in the Roman mythol
ogy, and It should be remembered
that the story of the creation origina
ted with the Babylonians. All evi
dence seems to point away from the
apple having been the “Forbidden
Fruit," and towards the quince as hav
ing been that fruit of the “Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil.”
Wordsworth on Real Estate.
There is an interesting story of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martlneau at Ambleslde, In
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. C. Benson in the Cen
tury Magazine. There was a gathering
of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for a long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and aaldi?
"Miss Martlneau, I congratulate you
on your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and It will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life."
He paused for a moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a line
gesture, continued:
"Tour property will certainly be
trebled In value within the next ten
years!" __
Living In Poise.
To Improve yourself, the first essen
tial Is to prevent all waste of energy
by living In poise. The second essen
tial Is to use your Imagination In pic
turing those things that you want tc
accomplish now. And the most prac
tical use that can be made of the Im
agination Is to picture your talents and
faculties larger, greater and more
perfect. To Imagine in mind a larger
and more perfect talent is to give the
creative forces In mind a better mod
el; anti as these forces always create
after ' he fashion of the latest model,
they v ■!! consequently create the lar
ger an the more perfect talent.—--Lar

L fferent Thing Entirely.
This ory Is being told on a Kan

your 1 or’s pardon,” said the eager
lawyer 1th more zeal than prudence
“very well, then; supposing that 1

FAST TRIP THROUGH BRITAIN
Itinerary Enables Tourist, If He
Wishes, to “Do" the Islands in
the Course of Seven Days.
How to “do" the British Isles in a
week Is the latest scheme lor hustlers.
A dash around London, a flying de
scent on one or two cathedral cities,
a race through Scotland and a glance
at Killarney—this what is open to
those who want to see the country
In a hurry. Tourist agents say that
the idea is catching on with Ameri
cans. Indeed it was an American who
first suggested it.
Assuming that the tourist begins
his trip on Monday, he devotes that
day to the show places of London,
1 Inding up with a theater In the eve
ning. On Thursday he goes to Wind
sor and Hampton Court and on his
return to London has time to go to a
music hall. On Wednesday he leaves
London for Peterborough, sees the
cathedral and gets to York at three
o’clock.
At York the tourist has plenty of
time to visit the Minster and other
historic buildings before catching the
6:15 train to Hamburgh. He coaches
through the Trossachs and takes
steamer through Loch Katrine and
Loch Lomond. Then the train to
Glasgow.
After dinner the hustler takes the
night train out of Glasgow' by way of
Androssan to Belfast, reaches Dublin
In the afternoon and takes the night
train to Killarney.
WENT DEEPLY INTO DETAILS
Identification That Undoubtedly Was
Complete, but Could by No Means
Be Called Complimentary.
Stephen Haegen, manager of a
Harlem bank, at a dinner recently told
the following anecdote: Many years
ago, while spending a vacation in a
city in the upper part of the state, he
visited some friends in a bank. While
there he saw a severe-looking woman
move up to the teller’s window and
request that a small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to
call up the person from whom she had
received the check and he would iden
tify her.
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did so in the following manner: “She
looked like the crankiest person in
the world. She was dressed in the
fashion of about five years ago. I
think she is an old cat. She wore a
blue straw hat, but then it may be
green, and I think she paints. She
wore two fake diamond rings. Good
by, old man.”
Tree-Bark Blankets.
They have trees for blankets In
Ecuador, and they like them, too.
They are fond of the firm touch of
the bark against them as they
sleep.
We would probably think they
were “zero In covering,” and we
would doubtless wake up in a much
bestlffened condition if we slept under
a wood covering.
But the native Indians are most
enthusiastic, according to J. Jame
son, a traveler and lecturer, who
has recently returned from those
parts.
The blankets are made from the
bark of a tree which is cut particular
ly thin. If la pounded and moistened
and then pounded some more and put
out Into the sun to dry- And a most
desirable and economical blanket It Is,
lasting anywheres from two to five
years.
“His Goose Is Cooked.*
The expression, "his goose Is cook
ed," appears In various forms, and
means that his cause Is ruined. It
has some reference to the common
but erroneous opinion that "goose” is
synonymous with "fool.” The idea
has crept into more than one language
and “will not down.” It Is generally
understood that “cooking his goose” Is
a phrase which originated when the
king of Sweden, on approaching a hos
tile town, excited the contempt of the
Inhabitants by the smallness of his
army. To express this they hung out
a goose for him to shoot at, whereup
on the king set lire to the town to
“cook their goose.”
Proved Truth of Answer.
On a visit to St. Louis, Archbishop
Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate,
rode In a carriage to the parochial
residence with BlBhop Glennon, who la
rather diminutive In size and of slight
build, especially In the stomachic re
gions, while Archbishop Ryan Is taD
and very robust. As they alighted from
the carriage, Archbishop Ryan said ta
his companion: “Bishop Glennon, 1
once was asked to explain the differ
ence between a bishop and an arch
bishop. I answered” (and the arch
bishop extended his arms in a semi
circle from his own healthy body, al
the same time glancing rather sharply
at Bishop Glennon), “'The different*
is all in the arch.’ ”
Ad Astra Per Repartee.
“All right,” said Chollie, as h«
gathered himself together after hei
father had thrown him out of the
house. “I’ll have you indicted foi
this.”
“Assault and battery, I presume?’
grinned the old gentleman.
“Not on your life,” said Chollie
“Under the Sherman act your daugb
ter and I were about to swap vows
and that kick of yours was dlstlnctl]
in restraint of trade 1”
And the old man was so pleased
that, he relented and the next day tlM
engagement was annoanoed.—Has

Brinkley Hotel Burns.
Brinkley, March 3.—Fire of
unknown origin which, for a
time, threatened the entire busi
ness section of Brinkley early to
night, destroyed the Brinkley
House and damaged the building
occupied by the Bank of Brink
ley, causing a loss of nearly $14,
000, partially covered by insur
ance. Two cripples at the Brink
ley House were carried to safety
just in time. Only the excellent
work of the volunteer Fire De
partment confined the loss to
these two buildings.
The Brinkley House, owned
by Gus Rusher, a two-story
frame building was valued at
about $7,500, with perhaps $4>i
000 insurance. The furniture
was valued at about $3,000, with
about $2,500 insurance. The
bank building was damaged to
the extent of about $2,000, cov
ered by insurance. The offices
of Dr. E. D. McKnight and Dr.
M. R. Stimson were badly dam-'
aged by fire and water, loss ap
proximately $1,000, covered by

$200 from damage in removing
his property. About $1,000, it
is said, will cover the loss on the
other offices in the building.
The fire started in the Brink
ley House about 6:30 and the
building was practically ruined
in about 40 minutes. The bank
building was separated from the
hotel only by an alley. Most of
the damage was in the rear of
this building. The Brinkley
