The Hawaiian ns a Diver, of natives, good fellows, willing to the duty required of them, which was Jargely in boats and in the water, 1 avell remember one who excelled in diving. On a certain occasion, when ihe placing of a deep water mooring had just been accomplished, it became necessary to detach under sater the end of a hawser, which had Ween made | fast to the submerged part of a spar buoy, about forty or fifty feet below the surface of the sea. The man was Avith him and cut the hawser as near | {ts end as he could, so as to lose as little as possible of the valuable cable. Taking his knife in his teeth, he dis- appeared beneath the water and re- | mained out of sight so long that he | s almost given up for lost, when i he suddenly reappeared, and on being sisked if he had cut the hawser as he | ~shad been told to reported that he had, | unbent it without cutting off any part | of it whatever.--James D. Hague in Century. Arm In Arm With a Tigress. 2t is related of Sir Edward Bradford fhat he once walked arm in arm, so to speak, with a tigress. He was out shooting and, always a fearless sports man, had come to close quarters with his quarry. He fired, and either the | ball failed to take effect or but slight- dy wounded the animal. She sprang at him and seized his left arm above the elbow. The pain must have been terrible, but Sir Edward kept cool, and, realizing that it would be death to drag his mangled arm away and al- | Jow her to spring afresh at him, he de- | liberately walked a few agonizing paces until his comrade was able to take aim and kill the brute. Thus his courage saved his life, though the am- putation of his arm at the shoulder proved necessary. 'Wild Brook Trout. Hawthorne describes an ideal break- "fast as consisting of hot cakes, brook trout, roast potatoes, fresh boiled eggs and coffee. The piece de resistance of this breakfast is the brook trout. In | spite of all the efforts of fish cultur- ists, the wild brook trout remains the finest morsel the epicure can seek. @dultivated trout taste too perceptibly of liver to be a food greatly desired. The wild trout that springs in his na- tive mountain stream is far superior to [ any cultivated fish. Cook it in the sim- | plest manner, dipping it in oil, salt and | pepper and broiling it over hot coals. | Serve it simply with butter and slices of lemon, Beriedltn of Traveling. | Proper recreation prolongs life. This | fact is now better appreciated by busy | people than ever before. Of all the forms of recreation the best perhaps §s traveling. The benefits to be de- xived from it cannot be exaggerated. A journey, whether byief or long, Is sure to relieve the mind of business or domestic cares by directing it into pleasanter channels. Thousands can testify that traveling bas improved their health, lengthened their lives, brightened thelr mental faculties more than anything else. The Other One Two brothers In Paris were remark- ably alike.

Instead, however, of growing fatter, the girl grew thinner, and doctors who were gummoned to attend her were un- able to explain why- the food did her no good. Finally the riddle was solved, for a serpent about twenty inches In length issued one morning from the child's mouth. The serpent was killed and sent to the University of Strassburg, and since then the little one has enjoyed excel- lent health. It is supposed that the | child swallowed the serpent while | drinking some impure water, | \ | Butterflies That Fly High. Both in the Himalayas and in the Andes butterflies have been found at | heights ranging up to 16,000 fect, and in the Alps they are quite common at 0,000 feet. The very highest elevation so far observed is 10,626 feet, where | they were found by M. Bonpland on the slopes of Chimborazo. Sir J. D. Hooker found butterflies on the slopes of the Himalayas at about the same height. He speaks of "the amazing quantity of superb butterflies, many | large tropical swallowtails, black, with a scarlet eye on the wings." The South American high flying butterflies be- long to the family of Colina dimera, the Asiatic that of the Pleris callidice. The explorer, Sir Martin Conway, also found therm ut. Sigh oliiuges du A Clever Plckpocket. In Paris two police officers recently got upon the track of a pickpocket. They surprised him in the act at the omnibus bureau and followed him in | hot pursuit. He was a thin, poorly | clad young fellow. In the Rue Roche- { chonaut, however, he suddenly disap- peared. Judging that he had slipped | into one of the houses they set them- | selves to watch for his reappearance. The thief in the meantime bad entered | " | a bathing establishment, and after a refreshing bath entered the box of an- other bather and calmly clothed him- self in the smart suit he found there, passed proudly and peacefully out before the very eyes of his pur- suers. The climax of bumor came | when the other bather, arrayed in the | rags of the pickpocket, was grabbed by the officers of the law at the door and dragged off to the station house. With | some difficulty the situation was ex- plained; but the pickpocket is still | | laughing. se I} lengthen its fife--make it Inst twice as long as it ordinarily would.

The natives of the Hawaiian Islands considered thunder as being Mauna Loa's echo from the clouds. This cu- rious notion has crystallized a weather proverb which is now current among many of the white residents of the islands--viz, "It will rain today; Mauna Loa shakes the clouds." In this connection it may be remarked | that the early Scandinavian settlers in Iceland believed that there were some mysterious and supernatural connec- tlie "angry mutterings of Jove" In England many of the peasantry still plant the house leek--*'Jupiter's beard" --on their house roofs as a preventive against thunder, lightning and evil eplrits, a custom which reminds one of bam." Another widespread superstition, and t among the land and from te Hatteras to she ¥ or reports of thunder come in even blk the storm will be of short duration and very mild, but, on the other hand, if they come in uneven numbers, especially if the reports be a series of five, nine or thirteen dis- tinet claps, much loss of life and prop- erty will result. : tap ------------ - TICKETS TO ALL FARTS OF THE Worn, --Mr. WW.

"The money was duly handed out in ten dollar bills.

An unfinished obelisk found in a ord at showed how the an- marking the oe of the stone contained a number of holes into which wooden wedges were firmly driven. | The groove was then filled with water, and the swelled wedges cracked the granite the whole length of the groove. The detached block was then pushed | forward upon rollers made from palm { trees to a large timber raft on the edge of the Nile, where it remained until | the next inundation floated the raft to | the city where the obelisk was to be set up. Thousands of hands then pushed ft on rollers up an inclined plane to the front of the temple, where it was to The pedestal had previously | placed In position, and a firm | causeway of sand covered with planks led to the top of it. Then by means of rollers, levers and ropes made of date palm the obelisk was gradually hoisted into an upright position. In no case has an obelisk been found to be out of the true perpendicular, 'White Men In Slavery. Slavery is so connected in the popu- | lar mind with the dusky hue of the | African that it seems hard to believe | that only about 100 years ago white men could be sold into slavery in New York. It arose through applying the redemption idea to poor immigrants and obtained equally in all the coun- tries of the United Kingdom. A man | in England, wishing to come to Amer- fea, would go to the correspondent of some American house and for a cer- | tain sum of money sell himself for a period of from one to three years, as the case might be. Taking the money so raised, he would pay his passage and Im- upon his arrival in New York his "time" would be put up at auction and himself sold to work for | the stipulated period before he could | be considered a free man. Many men who afterward rose to great promi- nence came to this country under these distressing conditions. To Match His Match. An Englishman was in a smoking | comin of a city train a little while back, and at a certain station a German entered the carriage and® took his seat opposite him. When the notic ing the other's cigar, inquired if he could give him one. The Englishman, astonished at the | request, reluctantly pulled out his case and saw with disgust the other select the best he could find and take a match from his pocket and light it. After | taking a few puffs with evident enjoy | ment, the German, beaming at his companion through his spectacles, af fably continued: "I vould not haf droubled you, but 1 bad a match in mein boggit und I did not know vat to do mit it."--Chums. raim------------ A Severe Critic, A self conscious and egotistical young clergyman was "supplying" the pulpit of a country church. After the service, says the. New York Evening Post, he asked one of the deacons, a grizzled, plain spoken man, what he thought of "this morning's effort." "Waal," answered the old man slow- ly, "I'll tell ye; I'll tell ye in a kind 0 parable.
