Datact* Prassnca of Pearl a, Obviating
th# Customary Unn.csa.sry
Killing of Molluace.
During all the centuries Unit the
pearl has been used for personal
adornment, it has previously been
necessary to cut open each oyster
of the pearl bearing species to as-
certain the presence or the absence
of the pearl. When no pearl was
found the mollusc’s life had been
sacrificed in vain. Hut the X-ray
is destined, according to a writer
in Popular Science Monthly, to save
the life of many a precious oyster
of this variety.
The pearl oysters that breed in
Ceylon and Venezuela are thin-
skinned, and it is easy to discover
whether or not they contain pearls.
If no pearls, or very small ones, are
discovered, the oysters are returned
to the beds uninjured. Oysters hav-
ing rough and irregular shells are
not so easily treated. Only large
pearls may be detected.
Suffering From Gas
Felix 8talla, who has suffered
considerable with his head since
returning from France, where
he received several severe dose
of gas, was in Paris last week
for treatment. This appears to
be a general complaint among
the boys, even though they were
protected with masks. At
times they have severe headach-
es, and their nasal organs are
affected.
Negroes Paying Poll Tax
Thursday of last week was the
last day in which poll taxes
might be paid to permit their
holders participating in the
election. The l^amar County
tax collectors reports sixty five
poll taxes issued the last two
days, the most of which went to
negro women The negroeg^are
making an effort to poll a big
vote next Tuesday.

PHONOGRAPH PLAYS AN HOUR
Scarcely a Break In the 'Remarkable
Machine Newly Invented by
Bo.ton Man.
A phonograph which plays an
hour without a break has been in-
vented by George \V. Bowers, a me-
chanical and consulting,engineer of
Boston, according to the Scientific
American. The average playing
time is stated to be four minutes.
On an exceptionally large man-
drel Mr. Bowers places records side
by side in the form of large cylin-
ders of narrow width. The. stylus
passes from one record to another j
with only the proper break between
two pieces of vocal or instrumental I
music.
By an automatic contrivance the |
machine can be stopped at any pre-
determined time or place in the
records.
CAUSE FOR SATISFACTION.
m __
A gentleman who was continually
losing his collar button while dress-
ing complained to his wife about it.
-With an ingenuity born of the use
of hairpins she told him to hold his
collar button in his mouth and be
Wouldn’t lose it. This worked for
several days, when one morning she
was startled by an unusual com-
motion.
“What’s the matter?” asked the
wife anxiously.
“I’ve swallowed the collar button,”
said the man.
“Well,” responded his better half,
“for once in your life you know
where it is.”—Truth Seeker.
NOf SO BAD.
A’ returned vacationist tells us
that he was fishing in a pond one
Hay when a country boy who had
been watching him from a distance
approached him and asked: “How
many fish yer got, mister?”‘
“None yet,” ho was told.
“Well, yer ain’t doin’ so had,”
said the youngster. “1 know a feller
what fished here for two weeks an’
lie didn’t get any more than you
got in half all hour.”
IMPOSSIBLE.
At one of Lady Astor’s meetings
in her campaign for parliament, a
woman demanded to know how she
would like to live on $2 a week, and
when I only Astor rejoined cheerful-
ly that she began on less than that,
another woman remarked with
scorn:
“There! 4 knew she wasn't alius
a lady.” Which goes to show that
in politics, it’s hard to suit every-
body.
TOO PREVIOUS.
Hubby—Good-by, love. In case
I am really prevented from coming
home to dinner, 1 will send a tele-
grnm.
Wife—You need not trouble to
send it; 1 have already taken it out
of your coat pocket.—Dallas News.
HE WAS WELL QUALIFIED.
The Employer—For this position
we require a man who is thoroughly
familiar with the tastes of all the
best people in town.
The Applicant—That's me. For
ten years I tended bar in the swell-
est places in this village.
TRUE.

"I prefer tr fight.”
