Ell One Great Danger Lies In His Utter Helplelsnesl. Every surrounding, every condition, almost every detail of the submarine diver’s work is as it invented by the romancist for a setting to a weird, uncanny tale. The one great danger to the subma- rine diver lies In his utter helplessness. No matter how or where he turns in his marvelous world, where even the his marvelous world, where even the very laws of nature seem turned topsy turvy, he is handicapped with odds against the life within him. Groping in the murk ot the pitchy darkness of a river bottom or crouching on the sands in the green gray twilight of an ocean bed, he works alone. a monster headed, awkward, hideous creature, squeezed as it in a vise by the tons upon tons of water surrounding him and clad in a cumbersome, unwieldy armor, stiff as sole leather, which often proves his casket. From the instant the helmet is screw- ed down and the "helper” grasps the life line and lowers the diver hand over hand, the “click. click, click,” of the pumps bringing fresh air and the hiss or the escape valve carrying away the “used up” air, sound in the diver’s ears. The “click, click. click.” becomes part of his subconscious self. He is listening for it always. ever; not a “click” escapes him. He starts vio- lently at the slightest irregularity of the sound. He listens for it so intent- ly that to save his soul he cannot count correctly 100 bricks into a bucket. tak- ing them one at a timeâ€"A. W. Rolker in Appleton's. A Lucky Exes. . During the Spanish war. while the battleships were on blockade at San- tiago, it was customary to load the six pounder guns every evening to protect against possible torpedo boat attack. While the triggers were being eased down one of the guns on the Massachusetts was accidentally dis- charged, the shot passing over the quarter deck of the Texas, which was lying next in the blockading line; All the officers of the Texas were on deck smoking and talking when the shot passed a few feet above their heads. Almost before it struck the water‘ a signal was started on the Texas from its cunmanding officer, Captain Jack Phillips. to the commanding officer of the Massachusetts. The signal was, “Good line, but a trifle high.” A Quaint Inn Slant At Boxted. in Essex. England. there is a beer house with the strange sign of the Whig and I~‘idget.

The French husband has a faculty that amounts almost to a genius for bestowing the delicate attentions which cost little except the exercise of a modicum of tact and thoughtful- ness, but which carry joy to every true woman’s heart. He not only thinks to take home to her often (in the absence of the means to make a larger offering) a ten cent bunch of violets, pinks or roses from the flower market or the ltinemnt flower vender’s barrow on his route, but he presents them gallantly with the compliment and the caress the occasion calls for. and this makes them confer a pleasure out of all proportion to their intrinsic worth. He remembers her birthday or fete day with a potted plant, a bit of game, a box of bonbons, a cake from the pas- try cook’s or a bottle or good wine. He is marvelously fertile in expedients for making the time pass quickly and agreeably for her. He has a thousand amusing and successful devices for helping her to renew her youth. He Projects unique and joyous Sunday and holiday excursions. He improvises dainty little banquets. He is a past master especially in the art of conjur- ing up amiable mysteries and prepar- ing charming little surprises. And in all these trivial enterprises he vindi- cates the old French theory that true courtesy consists in taking a certain amount of pains to so order our words and our manners that others “be con- tent with us and with themselves." The American husband is particular- ly solicitons to do the proper thing; the French husband to do the agree- able thingâ€"Independent. Must Meet Many Conditions to Be a Pedect Beverage. “Turks are extremely particular,” writes a traveler, “in regard to the quality of the water the; drink and are willing to be at much trouble and expense to obtain water of the kind they prefer. To be a perfect beverage water must tune from a rock. tall from a height, be or medium ternperature, flow rapidly and copiously, taste sweet. spring in high and lonely ground and run from south to north or from east to west. The excellence of any water find in visiting a famous spring ln the country, to spend the whole day beside lt under the shade or trees, dolng little of this description abound on the shores and in the valleys of the upper Bosâ€" porus under such names as the Water of Life, the Silver Water, the Water Under the Chestnut Tree. the Water Beside the Hazels. The spectacle of the great gatherings there on Fridays. arrayed in bridal colors, seated tier above tier on the terraced platforms built against the green slaps ot the hill, the women above, the men be- low, all in the deep shade or the branches meeting overhead, forms a picture beyond a.painter’s power to re- produce. Hot Drinks For nun. It is a mistake to suppose that cold drinks are necessary to relieve thirst Very cold drinks, as a rule. increase the feverish condition of the mouth and stomach and so create thirst. Ex- perience shows it to be a fact that hot drinks relieve the thirst and cool 03 the body when it is in an abnormally heated condition better than ice cold drinks. It is far better and safer to avoid the use of drinks below 60 de- grees. In fact, ethigher temperature is to be preterred, and those .who are much troubled with thirst will do well to try the advantages to be derived from hot drinks instead ot'cold fluids, to which they have been accustomed. Hot drinks also have the advantage of aiding digestion instead of causing debmty of the stomach and‘ bowels. The Bushnel- or Orders. American political orators are often charged with being unduly harsh to the other side. The following extract from a speech or the late Earl of Shaftesbury, published imms memoirs, shows that it our stump speakers ex- hibit harshness they come honestly by it. The noble earl thus described and prophesied: “When Gla®tone runs down a steep place, his immense ma- jority, like the pigs in Scripture, but hoping for a better issue, will go with him, roaring in grunts Jot exultation.” Noah’s Admitting-e.
