The pearl Is all the more sought after because, unlike other precious stones, no amount of artlfl-clu- l treatment, such as cutting nr polishing, can enhance its beauties. Nature's workmanship in list be perfect and untouched and the pearl comes to you exactly as it emergea from tlie oyster. On the other huud, it has this disadvantage. It Is liable to discoloration and the only way Is to give it a rest from too much contact with the skin. Still that Is not the only stone which suffers discoloration. Was it not the famous necklace of Marie Antoinette, preserved In a guarded case In a museum, which after yeara of nonuse began to lose color and hud to be worn at Intervals In order to give it its pristine beauty?

Hut most curious of all is the black pearl, which on account of Its is hardness much sought after. When It Is of a beautiful and uniform color and of a perfect form, It la worth almost aa much ai pearls of the purest white. The price of a string of perfectly matched pearls Is much more In proportion than that of a single pearl, for It may lake years to get together a collection of pearls which are alike in she, shape and quality. A string of yellowish Indian pearls costa $20,000. of white 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, w hero there la one almost as large as a hen's egg. almost but not quite faultless, which la valued at $75,000 a pearl of 454 carats. Again, there Is a much smaller one of 27 carats among the French crown Jewels which la valued at $40,000. There are other pearls, however, of distorted shape, called bRroqtie pearls, and of these the most famous is the great Southern Cross, which Is fornird of uine beautiful pure white lustrous pearls, naturally formed in the shape of a cross, one Inch In length, for whlrh 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 proclaims a 'fishery, determining whether or not it should be held by examination and a snmple catch from the government banks.

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 York Evening Telegram says. I want the women here to realize what It means to be born in America," she said recently. To he born where a woman Is the backbone of the tiian. his strength and help In every way! Why, out In Ahmednagnr, where my work Is. a woman is no more than an animal. She Is for thn purpose of raising children and that is all. A man thinks uiuro of bis row 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 surgical treatment. That shows the need for women physicians In the Orient." In Ahmednagnr, which is an Inland plateau about a hundred miles from Bombay, there are two physicians. Dr. Ruth Hume and Dr. Stephenson, and one American trained nurse. Miss Johnson. Under Miss Johnson there are 14 native a omen a ho have had some slight training and these help with the nursing. In the mission hospital 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 CO miles, though some special rases havs come as far as 300 miles. The Rev. Aldea II. Clark, who Is aa educational missionary at ths same place as Dr. Ste- - is probably one American or European trained dou tor to every million and a half of people. In the United 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 is even bigger, Is this: We show women who have thought themselves wholly unloved that some one cares for them. They know that there Is a very small money consideration given ua and that what we do Is done fur love. So they love us. When I see woman physicians struggling for a living here and know what a field there Is in India, 1 feel aa though they must be told. ic The kind of work I have been doing la a to the We to have sympathies. respect appeal caste, which makes nearly all of our cases long 1 standing. One woman whom treated came to me with her entire arm In a gangrenous condition. She had pricked her finger seven months before, at the time of her husbands death. On account of her caste she could not so much as leave the house for the seven months, during which time septicemia set In and went up as far as her shoulder. I told her that her arm would hare to be amShe refused absolutely to part with it, putated. and died as s 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 waa fearfully bruised all over. 1 found her lying on the floor grinding corn, every turn of her arm causing the most intense agony. She couldn't bear to hare 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 leavs a little medicine. Dr. Stephenson finds that the natives invariably prefer using ointments to rlean dressings. Women come In large numbers to Ret ointments for raw sores where their husbands have beaten and cut them ami they are full of gratitude to the doctor She finds that those of high class are Just as brutally treated and Just as grateful ts the lowest. "Transmigration Is one of the strongest beliefs she says, "and on that account the In India. people will not kill any animal, not even a flea. As a result the poor hoii.es are overrun with bedbugs and other vermin, which spread ail sorts of fevers and diseases. And another of their Ideas is that we don't know anything Hindoo about raising babies. 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.
