Often In the midst of ber duties she would find herself endaavoring to solve the problem of tbe lost wagon trafn, As a last resort Henry Merryweather resolved to go out to the region where the train wag last seen with a view to solving the mystery.

Every now aud t 'ed about the loss of a valnable string of pearls turough the breaking of the (cord on which they were hung and thelr slipping off and scattering over the floor or sidewalk. Those who know apything about the stringing of pearls, however, always read these a story Is prints Avers 1 : 'Ingredients 53 apoitulin lous: herd? erik here? ing ho dnd DUNKARIS IN ONTARIO THEY ARE A THRIFTY CONSER- | VATIVE PEOPLE. tales with ipcredulity, because nowu- | days, as a general thing, only false pearis or those of small price are strang without a knot being tied be- tween each of cord breaks no mere than oue can fall off. their great value pearls are strung on something durable, like catgut or wire. As a matter of fact such material is never employed, There is no beauty to a string of pearls that looks wiry or stiff. It must be flexible to rhe highest degree, otherwise all its grace ul effect will be lost. Up to the time of the introduction of surgeon's silk tor pearl strivging uothing found that would absolutely reqnirements of bility. That the most valuable pearls are to- day strung on cords of surgeon's silk is due to the suggestion of a woman employee ot a New York jewelry house. Rurgeon's hud been unicet the strength and flex) sflk--the thread that is used for sewing up cuts snd wounds-- . Is a soft, round strand of pure white silk which is woven, not twisted. The weave, when viewed under a magni fying glass, closely resembles that of tive silk brald and is capable of only a small degree of expansion. This thread is produced in several diam- sters or grades, which makes it all the more desirable for pear! stringing.

The tiny knots instead of detracting fro:n (be beauty of the wvecklace en- hance it, for they look like seed pearls ulternating with the lurger ones. Kpot- ting lengthens the necklace also and Is often resorted to for that purpose. Wheg a strund ot a certain length Is desired and the number of lurge pearls Is not suflicient imitation pearls of the esact size and color are often substi- tuted. Sowe of these hnitations will deceive the eye of any but the inost expert. | It often bappens that the largest pearls bave the smallest holes drilled through them, for every grain that is taken from the pearl reduces it in welght. In such cases, however, the risk of the cord breaking is increased owing to the slenderness of the thread and the sharp edges of tbe pearls cut | ting through it quickly. Stringing pearls 1s never done with a needle. A ueedle 18 not ylelding enough to pass through very small boles, and the doubling of its diameter | at the eye makes its use impracticable, Tberetore the end of the thread is | sharpened to a very fine point, which is waxed stiflly enough to be used ex- actly as a needle would be.
