"There ate probably," he says, "not more than 100 nurses In the entire missionary world and there 80,000,000 people in non-Christian lands who have no med­ ical aid except missionary psysicians All Christendom has sent out only 689 medical missionaries, male or fe­ male, and this body maintains S48 hospitals, 97 leper asylums and 21 classes for native women. "One physician who had no nurse to help him treated 18,000 cases. In » year. So you see that the supply of trailed medical assistance Is wofully inadequate 'In Calcutta, which has the beat facilities In the Orient, three-fifths of the population die without any doctor or other trained medical assistance in their final illness. In China there S8-<SSf * x4 v ^ vN'V^ ^ mm *rr OWEVER man> diamonds t b« lady of wealth may possess tp, deck her fingers, ears and neols. she is always roused to covet- ousness by the sight of pearls. There Is some- thing alluring in the sight of a rope or a collar of pearls around a white neck, and they are to most women the most desirable Jewel of all. But they must be large or In quantity and they are, if good, costly in the extreme. The small pearls QftS sees--seed pearls--are cheap, bat stm set about a large diamond In m ring they seem to improve the diamond, and at the same time to derive some of Its Virtue from their neighborhood. The pearl Is all the more sought after because, unlike other pre­ cious stones, no amount of artifi­ cial treatment, such as cutting or polishing, can enhance its beau­ ties. Nature's workmanship must be perfect and untouched and the pearl comes to you exactly as It Emerges from the oyster. On the other hand. It has this dlsadvan* Cage, it is liable to discoloration and the only way is to give it a rest from too much contact with the Bkln. Still that 1s not the only atone which suffers discoloration.' Was It not the famous necklace (if Marie Antoinette, preserved in a guarded case In a museum, whtfth after years of nohuse began to lose color and had to be worn at intervals In order to glvt }t its pristine beauty? The value of the pearl is com­ parable with that of the most cost­ ly gems. Its price varies with its, size, form and general beauty of appearance. A pearl of the first water must have symmetrical form, a smooth surface, be free from all blemishes or fractures, be translucent, and have a fine white color and a perfect luster; and it so happens that it is rare to grt this combination. The perfect shape is spherical, egg shaped ©r £h».,bIP?1:.. Th® pertect co,or «• a silvery milk "™ ',Si,0*lB» mrl. much M- teemed in India and China. It i6 not generally known, however, that there •re pearls which In color are red-brown, bronze, garnet red. rose red, pale blue, greenish white, violet and purple. But most curious of all is the olack pearl, which on account of its hardness is much sought after. When It Is of a beautiful and uniform color and of a perfect form. Jt is worth almost as much as pearls of the PUTPCT white. The price of a string of perfectly matched pearls is much more in proportion th^n that of a single pearl, for it may take years to get to­ gether a collection of pearls which are alike In Bite. shape and quality. A string of yellowish In­ dian pearls costs *20,000. of white *25,000. of black Pacific pearls $30,000, and even then you could not think that your string was anyway unique. To seek a unique pearl one must go to the Hope collection, where there is one almost as large as a hen's egg, almost .but not quite faultless, which is valued at *75,000---a pearl of 454 carats. Again, there is a much smaller one of 27 5-16 carats among the French crown jewels which is valued at *40,000, • - r • - There are Other pearls, however, of distorted ahape. called baroque pearls, and of these the most famous Is the great Southern Cross, which is formed of nine beautiful pure white lustrous pearls, naturally formed in the shape of a cross, one inch in length, for which your offer would start at *50,000 if you wished to buy it. To supply the world of women with pearls, the Ceylon government administration yearly pro­ claims a "fishery," determining whethep or not it should be held by examination and a sample catch from the government banks. Then if the marine biologist who is in charge declares that the number of oysters warrants a fishery, the news flies like lightning through the east and the army of pearl divers, coolies, merchants, pearl buyers and speculators move as fast as they can to the Gulf of Manar--the Ornate and oriental "Sea Abounding in Pearls." Almost as if by magic a town of 40,000 inhabitants arises out of the sand. There Is no magic about It, for the houses of the town are easily built. A rough framework of tree branches is formed and over It as roof and walls are put the mats known as cadjan--formed of the woven leaves of the cocoa- nut or date palm. But there ftte also more pre­ tentious buildings erected for the use of the gov­ ernment officials, residency, po^toffice, hospital, •oourt house, while there are streets, lanes, street lamps, all the conveniences of a proper town. The aristocrats of the town, outside of the official 8, are the divers, and they disdain to do anything but dive, having their own servants, who attend to the ropes and keep an eye on the oysters brought up. . '> Bach morning the fishing fleet sets out, some 300 odd vessels, some of them carrying as many aa 30 divers, their servants, sailors and hangers- on. When the fishing grcpund is reached the diver takes his basket, draws a long breath, steps on to the heavy stone hung by a rope, and is plunged STATE NEWS m BRIEF by his attendant to the bottom, seven or eight fathoms below. Filling his basket rapidly, he is drawn up and repeats the operation as often as he can. About two in the afternoon the government gunboat fires a gun and the fleet sets sail back. As there are no wharves, the oysters are carried on shore and deposited in the "kottu" by the strong porters. As soon as the shells are depos­ ited they are counted, two-thirds going to the government as their share, the other one-third going to the boat which brings them in. At sun­ set the shells are auctioned by the thousand, and there is fierce competition, for who knows what the lottery of chance may bring them in pearls. The oysters brought are then removed apart by each buyer and placed In his compound, where they are carefully guarded till the sun beats upon them, putrefaction sets In and the oyster begins to disgorge its treasure. Then the malodorous contents of the abell are washed in vats and the residue yields--my lady's pearls. * g B'6"a'6~iTfl'aTnrrf aTa *» a a a a o~o d'm'a'O'8 coo | WOE OF HINDOO WOMEN B V P O o P O P o o P O O P p o o p a s t t g o p o p c s p e a n s ! When a Buddhist prays he implores his god that when he dies he shall not be cursed by be­ ing born again a&va woman or aa vermin. That is the attitude of the native men of India toward women and against which the missionaries in the ^Orient are directing all their energy. Dr. Eleanor Stephenson, a Brooklyn woman who has been practicing medicine in India for three years and who will return to her work there soon, makes an appeal to American women to go out there, the New Tprk Evening Telegram says. "I want the women here to realize what It means to be born in America," she said recently. "To be born where a woman is the backbone of the man, his strength and. help in every way! Why, out in Ahmednagar. where my work Is. a woman is no more than an animal. She Is for the purpose of raising children and that is all. A man thinks more of his cow--if he is lucky enough to have one--than he does of his wife. . "A Hindoo husband will let his wife die before he will call In a man to give her medical or sur­ gical treatment. That shows the need for women physicians in the Orient" " In Ahmednagar, which ta an Inland plateau about a hundred miles from Bombay, there are two physicians. Dr. Ruth Hume and Dr. Stephen­ son, and one American trained nurse. Miss John­ son. Under Miss Johnson there are 14 native women who have had some slight training and these help with the nursing. In the mission hos­ pital which this handful of women run 15,000 people were treated last year, an average of 41 a day. These folk have come from a radius of about 50 miles, though some special cases have come as far as 300 miles. The Iter. Alden H. Clark, who Is an educa- :doaal missionary at the same place as Dr. Ste- is probably one American or European trained doc­ tor to every million and a half of people, in the TJnited States there are 160,000 physicians and 22,- 000 nurses, an average of one physician to every 550 people." "Of course we do a great deal of actual nurs­ ing and that is most important," Dr. Stephenson says, "but another thing, which la even bigger, is this: We show women who have tnought them­ selves wholly unloved that some one careB for them. They know that there Is fe very small money consideration given us and that what we &> Is done for love. So thev love us. "When 1 see woman physicians struggling for a living here and know what a field there is In India. 1 feel as though they must be told. "The kind of work I have been doing Is a ter­ rific appeal to the sympathies. We have to respect caste, which makes nearly all of our cases long standing. One woman whom I treated came to me with her entire arm in a gangrenous condition. She bad pricked her finger seven months before, at the time of her husband's death. On account of hef caste she could hot so much as leave the house for the seven months, during which time septicemia set in and went up as far as her shoul­ der. I told her that her arm would have to be am­ putated. She refused absolutely to part with it. and died as a result. "Another woman burned her knee and turned up at the hospital five months later with that part of her leg in terrible condition. The leg was cut off and the woman made a perfect recovery. "I went many miles into the interior to see an injured woman. She had fallen down a well and was fearfully bruised all over. I found her lying on the floor grinding corn, every turn of her arm causing the most intense agony. She couldn't bear to have me even touch her, she was suffering so. I told her husband she had to be taken to the hospital or she would die and he asked who would cook the bread if she were gone. He refused to allow her to go. All I could do was to leave a little medicine." Dr. Stephenson finds that the natives Invariably prefer using ointments to clean dressings. Women come in large numbers to get ointments for raw sores where their husbands have beaten and cut them and they aro lull of gratitude to the doctor. She finds that those of high class are just as bru­ tally treated and juBt as grateful as the lowest. "Transmigration is one of the strongest beliefs In India," she says, "and on that account the people will not kill any animal, not even a flea. As a result the poor homes are overrun with bedbugs and other vermin, which spread all sorts of fevers and diseases. "And another of their ideas Is that we don't know anything about raising babies. Hindoo mothers, without exception, give opium to their babies to make them sleep while they work in the fields. As a result a large proportion of the little Hindoo babies die before they are a year old. Most of the work among the natives is surgical and the obstetric, cases are the most interesting. This is because the natives have medicines of their own, but know nothing of the use of the kntSe." Able to Foresee Events ^Yhat "coming events cast their * .shadows before" or that tthere Is such a thing as intuitive knowledge that something serious Is about to happen Is the belief of many people, and one of iueue is Harry Woif, lormer lieu-, tenant of, the Lehigh avenue police station, according to the Philadelphia Press. "It is a peculiar creed,** said 1 {|»A former lieutenant the other day, who Is one of the guards on the main floor of the bourse, "but 1 am a firm ^ v . \ • " ' • ' Ji-'f believer In It. I have Just reasons for believing that there are those who have an Intuition of what Is ComUtg. 1 anticipated things on more thai; one occasion, when 1 was in command of the Twenty-second police district. 1 was seated In the office of th# sta­ tion on one occasion wheii^he idea seized me that there was a serious oc­ currence about to take place and I re­ quested the sergeant to order out the patrol. It was ready in a few min­ utes and was only In waiting about ten seconds when there was a rumble and roar in the direction of the Wayne street bridge that crosses the Port Richmond branch of the Phila­ delphia & Reading railway. The pa­ trol was away in a Jiffy, and when it reached that point It was soon found that one of the new kind of camel- back engines on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad had exploded and killed four of the trainmen. Another Incident that strengthens my belief that people get an Idea of what's com­ ing is this: Everytihng was quiet in the district for weeks during one period, and the patrolmen were long­ ing for a run. I said keep still, you will soon have one. In a little while all hands were greeted by the sound of an explosion. A big boiler on the second floor of Mercer's mill on Broad street, above Lehigh avenue, exploded an<f blew the structure to pieces. I could recite other lnstanoes when 1 thought we were to have more the routine work and we had it" Chicago.--Moisture from_ soapsuds, poor ventilation and an accumula­ tion of vapors In the humid air of the room caused the death of Mrs. Bardena Amundsen at her home, 2124 Point street. She died over her washtub and was found by her hus­ band when he returned home from work. Deputy Coroner Kenny, who conducted the Inquest, expressed the belief that improper combustion In the stove caused the room to fill with vapor, which the humid air, made so by the washing, caught and held. The woman seemingly was overcome and asphyxiated without suspecting what was wrong. Elgin.--Reporting at the weekly noonday luncheon of the Elgin Commercial club, a special com­ mittee appointed to investigate the reason for high taxes, recommended the adoption of the commission form of municipal government in Elgin. A committee consisting of D. B. Elite, J. M. Blackburn, B. S. Pearsall. A. L. Hall, A. H. Lowrle, was appointed to investigate. The committee also rec­ ommended the appointment of a per­ manent committee to watch appropria­ tions, tax levies and tax legislation. An Increase this year of 34 per cent in the tax rate here inspired the ac­ tion. Springfield. -- An Illinois woman may become deputy sheriff, says Attorney General Stead In a let­ ter to George R. Weaver of Montlcel- lo, who asked an opinion on the ques­ tion. The legislature in 1872 passed an act providing that no person should be debarred from entering employ­ ment, except military, on account of sex. Elective officers were excepted. The word occupation Is used in the law and the word has been Inter­ preted by the attorney general to mean an appointive office. Since the office of deputy sheriff is appointive, women cannot be debarred from hold­ ing such positions. Chicago.--Otto Busche, 60 years old, an agent employed by W. B. La Parle & Co., wholesale liquor dealers, 21 Kinzie street, was struck and instantly killed by a north-bound Chicago, Rock island & Pacific rail­ road passenger train at Eighty-seventh street He lived at 2203 West Van Buren street. Busche attempted to run acrosB the1* tracks in front of the train which he Intended to board, the police were told, and was run down before Engineer James Busnau could stop the train. He had been collect­ ing in the vicinity. Chicago.--John Sullivan, * alleged slayer of Barnett Greenberg, who waB killed In his pawnshop at 843 South Halsted street December 11, was held to the grand jury in bonds of *5,000 by Municipal Judge Uhllr. Eml1 J. Kolar, a former policeman, •dentifled Sullivan as the murderer. Mrs. Greenberg, widow of the pawn­ broker. also appeared, but was not positive that Sullivan was the man who shot her husband. Chicago.--The police and cor­ oner co-operated In an effort to establish the identity of the man who startled theater-goers and others In the downtown crowds at the south­ west corner of Madison and La Salle streets by shooting himself in the head. The wounded man was sent to St Luke's hospital, where he died an hour after his arrival without re­ gaining consciousness. Moline. -- After five unsuccessful attempts at self-destruction Mrs. Victor Williams, aged 45, hanged herself. In January she jumped In front of a train, but the engine pilot hurled her from the track, and she recovered from her injuries. Chris­ tian Horst, a farm hand, aged 23. also committed suicide by taking strych­ nine. Elgin.--Rev. O. N.

WIN .f CAM WA6ER a n i i n i . . • „ SHE ATTEMPTS to "SHINNY" UP A FLAG POLE ON A SIXTEEN- STORY BUILDING. Newark, N. J.--Not one girl in 10,000 would go almost to the top of a 16- story building in course of construc­ tion in a flimsy material hoist Not one girl In 100,000 would climb one more story by ladder and then try to 6hinny up a big flag pole in the face of a gale whicn threatened to wrench her loose and hurl her to death in tha street below. The exception to those accepted axioms in the building trade is Flor­ ence Price, 17 years old. and pretty, who lives In Bank street this city. To win a wager of a box of candy from a girl chum she went to the top of the Firemen's Insurance Company's 16- story building at Broad and Market streets, and was part way up the flag pole when a workman, who realized > J & Tried to Hook Her Legs About It arid Draw Herself Up. she was in danger of being dashed to death, hurried up. caught her and hustled her to a place where she would be safe and attract less attention from the big crowd In the street below. The workmen on the new building say they never had known a girl to perform such a dare-devil fest It was three o'clock In the afternoon when the two girls approached the new building. "Now, Mary, you stand off there on that corner, where I can see you and you can see me after 1 get to the top," Florence said. "Seeing's believ­ ing, you know." Florence then entered the building and askeu for the superintendent of construction. She was directed to C. S. Heney, who was standing not far away. "Mr. Heney, 1 want to go to the top oi this building and win a bet." she said. "If you'll let me do it I'll give you part of the candy." Heney laughed good-naturedly, looked keenly In the face of the girl, saw evidences of determination there and said he would help her win. She was careful not to say anything to him about her purpose to climb the flag­ pole. In a few minutes she was being whisked to the top of the building in the material hoist Most girls would have fainted and fallen off. Florence enjoyed the trip. The girl stepped off at the sixteenth floor and looked aloft She was dismayed to discover the roof was not on. Her face brightened, however, when she discovered that a small platform had been built at the base of the big flagstaff and that a ladder'extended to that platform. The men at work on the top floor felt flat­ tered at having the flrBt girl visitor, and they were in a mood to humor her. When she told them Bhe was going up the ladder no one demurred, and up she went. She crawled through the hole In the platform and stood with one arm around the, flagpole. The other she waved at her chum in the street below. The exchange of signals attracted attention and a crowd soon collected. The flagpole looked small from the street, but when Florence reached the base of it she discovered It was too large for her to negotiate easily. Those in the street saw her wrap her arms around it and draw herself up a little way. She tried to hook her legs about It to get a higher grip with her arms. The high wind caught her skirts and whipped them about so savagely she could make no progress. One of the men on the floor below saw what she was about and rushed up the ladder. He put his arms about her, dragged her down to the platform and then steadied her until she had descended the ladder. A few mimites afterward sho was in the street re­ ceiving the congratulations of her chum and others who bad witnessed her act of daring. A Harrowing Cat Story. In order that her kittens may grow up well trained. Maggie, an old cat owned by Mrs. Delia Annable. feeds the kittens one at a time, keeping the others back until their turn, says the New York Tribune. The cat has three kittens. A few days ago the mother brought a mouse into the house. The three kittens came running to her, but she had decided which kitten she v ould give the mouse to, and kept the other kittens away by cuffing them. The same day she brought in another mouse and she gave it to one of the other kittens. The next day she caught another mouse and gave it to the third kitten. When the mother had caught the fourth she stood before the kittens and ate it herself. Quite a Mouthful.
