a knife with a blade wide in the cen-

Real Poverty.
A woman, poor, fragile and anxious
looking, went into a prosperous butch-
er shop the other day. In her arms
was a baby, and four children, none
of them much more than a baby, tod-
dled after her. "I want eight cents
worth of meat," the woman said, look-
ing greedily at the tender quarters
of lamb and pieces of Juicy beef.
"What kind?" asked the butcher. "1
don't care what it is, but I want the
most I can get for eight cents," she
replied. **Is that all the money you
have?" the man asked. "No, I have
ten cents, but I have to buy coal with
that to cook the meat." "That's a
hard case, the butcher said, "but

form, site, color, texture and orient.
As regards form, they are spherical,
pear shaped, button shaped, ovate, con*
leal and irregular or baroque. The
perfectly round pearl Is generally the
most valuable, other things beiug
equal. Those over 200 grains in
weight and of fine orient are scarce,
