Pearls Now Scarce Along Wabash River Vinconnes, ind.—Tho supply of I mussel shells from which pearl but tons are made, rapidly is becoming scarce in the Wabash river in this vicinity. Incidentally, fewer pearls and, slugs are being found in tho shells. Only a few years ago tho price for select shell was $5 a ton, and the digger prospered. Now the price is S4O a ton, and shell known as "wash boards," formerly discarded, are in cluded. A digger at present can find only about 100 pounds a day. Mussels now obtained are young and have not had sufficient time to develop slugs and pearl, the diggers assert. The highly colored "wash board" shells are cut into buttons, and no matter how thin a piece of shell happens to be, some use is found for it. Regardless of the scarcity of shells, indications are that there will be tho number of diggers at work the coming summer. Most of them have hunted pearls for years. Vin eennes broke into tho limelight as a place where pearls might be found several years ago. One pearl from the Wabash was sold by the digger for $1,700 and another for $1,500. When placed on the market later by the purchasers, it is said the pearls brought several thousand dollars. While the pearls are becoming scarce in proportion to the dimin ishing supply of mussels, occasion ally a good one is found. One weigh ing 35 grains was found recently.

PRESIDENT WILSON ON JEFFERSON DAVIS He had the pride, the spirit of initia tive, the capacity in business which Qualify men for leadership, and lacked nothing of indomitable will and imperi ous purpose to make his leadership effective. What he did lack was wis dom in dealing with men, willingness to take the judgment of others in criti cal matters of business, the instinct which recognizes ability in others and trusts it to the utmost to play its in dependent part. He too much loved to rule, had too overweening a confidence in himself, and took leave to act as if he under stood better than those did who were in actual command what should be done in the field. He sought to control too many things with too feminine a jealously of any rivalry in authority. RAZORS 10.000 YEARS OLD Razors were in common use in an cient Greece and even centuries before that. In the Swisslake dwellings, which date back 10,000 years, have been found razors made from bronze. The ancient Greeks and Romans used similar implement. The metal was hardened and had a beaten edge which could be made very sharp. The prehistoric Mexicans are credited ■with making the best of ancient razors. These were glass affairs made from "obsidian." of volcanio origin. A cyl indrical piece of volcanic glass served as the core, so to speak, from which thin flakes were skillfully chipped. The "chippings" resembled the modern razor blades of to-day. When the edgo became dull all that was necessary was to chip off another flake, which made an easy shave simple. The hairiest people in the world to day are the Ainua. an aboriginal race who inhabit the Zezo. the northern most island of the Japanese archi pelago. They are positively woolly and are proud of it. But all the known history of mankind indicates that the human male, since the earliest times, looked upon the beard as an appendage to be got rid of, though nature pre sumably designed It as a sex adornment —Detroit News.

SENATOR WANTS GREAT UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON Washington A national educa tional system, with a great univer sity at Washington as the capstone, is the mast pressing need of the country to-day. In the opinion of Senator France, of Maryland. A recent report of the surgeon general of the army, he said, showed that 24 per cent of the men enlisted in the United Stutes army were illiter- I ates. Such a condition, he said, | should not be tolerated. He placed the blame on the Federal Govern ment for not having established a I national system of education. I "How can you say that the United .States has an education system when not more than fourteen chil- I dren out of every twenty-live of | school age attend the schools and those for an average of 160 days a year?" he demanded. Senator I France said that only through the j education of the people could the country hope to maintain its Gov ernment and institutions. "George Washington dreamed of a great national university at the Capital of the Nation," he said. "It is such a university that I would see established here. Its doors should be open to every man or woman who showed the capacity to take the training." TIMOROUS Actor —I don't want this room.

The Terrazas family was reputed to bo tho wealthiest in Mexico be fore their property was confiscated by the revolutionists. Their estate before tho outbreak of tho Madero revolution in 1911 was estimated at from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 acres and to have covered a large part of the state of Chihuahua.

A GILBERTIAN REPLY Dipping into Frank SI. Boyd's amusing book, "A Pelican's Tale," I came across a good story concern ing Sir William Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, and a gushing young lady whom he "took in" to dinner one time. Said she, among much else: "Do you know. Mr. Gilbert, I admire the music of Bach so much: yes, I can not tell you how much 1 admire Bach. Is he still composing?" The answer (writes Mr. Boyd) was remarkable and very Gilbertian. "No. madam, not as far as I know. Indeed, I should say he is now de composing."—Pearson's Weekly.
