he could save. He continued this fru-
gal way of living until he had saved

Pearl Fishing Off Ceylon.

No sum of money, however large, no
temptation held out would be sufficient
lystrong induce thedivers tOdescend into
the ocean unless two shark charmers
were present, who, as they believe, by
means of their charms and potent spells,
deep from injuring the pearl seekers.
One Of these imposters goes out in the
pilots boat, and remains at the head of
it, muttering a prescribed form of in
the perils of the vastly deep. The other
shark charmer remains on shore, where
he is shut up in room i'm state of nu
dity till the boat returns with the di-
vers. A large brazen bowl is left with
him, filled with water, in which are
placed two silver fishes, and it is affirmed
that the moment shark appears in the
vicinity of the divers, these fishes agi-
tate the water, and if an accident is
about to happen one fish will bite the
other. When he perceives such indica-
tions, the charmer Immediately " blinds
the shark +" with potent spell, and thus
compels the creature to abstain from in
juring the divers. These shark charm
ers reap an abundant harvest during
the fishery, as the natives believe that
unless they are literally remunerated
they will exert their powerful spells to
make the sharks injure them, instead
of compelling the monsters to remain
quiet until the pearl fishery is over. 1t
is rather singular that, although sharks
are frequently seen by the divers, an
accident rarely happens, and number
less fisheries have taken place without
a single accident occurring.

lee Water.

Five gallons of ice-water per man is
the quantity allowed each day to the
miners in the Comstock lode. The heat
is so intense that man can work bu d. a
few moments at a time, and he not only
drinks copiOusly of the ice water but
pours it freely upon his person. Editors
who are writing nonsense about the
evil effects of ice water will be puzzled
to account for the healthful condition
of these miners, who alleviate the ex-
hausting heat-it often rises to 1l0 and
I16 degrees-by this means without in
jury to health. Frequenters of Turkish
baths drink ice water freely with the
thermometer at l6O to $50 deg. withoS
injury-nay, with positive benefit.
Among the causes of death in hot wealth.
er ice water is never mentioned. And
think of the myriads of human beings
who are relieved and comforted by It's
use during the torrid season. 1t is alb
soluteiy wicked in pandering to base,
uncomfortable, and unwholesome ap-
petites to say anything against ice
mater. because the only other recourse
people then have is to alcohol insome of
its protean forms.

Mr.. Layard, in letter from the New
Hebrides, a group of islands north of
Australia belonging to the Praguan
group, whose inhabitants are extremely
savage and think nothing of making Il
meal of a missionary, thus describes
the dreadful poisoned spears of these
islanders, made with long carved points
of human bones. These points are
made from the leg-bones of either friend
or enemy, a thigh-bone being split into
four points, while a shin-bOne suffices
for only two. The natives are very
particular about the selection of them
They sav that the bone of a person
under twenty are too weak and spongy.
From twenty to forty they are at their
best. After that age they become too
brittle. Some spears have as many as
two hundred and fifty points and splin-
tiers fastened on them-three or four
vastly exceeding the others in size,
being in fact the main points. A frag-
ment of one of these remaining in a
wound is almost sure to produce fatal
results, as the cellular structure of the
bone, is, of course, impregnated with
the virus of the body that has decayed
around it. They are used for arrows,
also, barbed for the purpose Of being
fixed in the wound, long enough for
the poison to mingle with the blood.

hazes, became a speck in the clear sky.
When RodOlphe came up the bank,
she found that one of her jewelled slip
pers had been carried away, and she said
to her maids, I" The eagle has taken it. :"
And the maids said, :. Then it will
bring you luck. The eagle is a bird of
good omen."
So Rodolphe hobbled home with a
light heart, one of her slipperless feet
crushing the lotus blossoms. Her maids
laughed at her, but she said, 60 1t is good
luck, for an eagle has taken it,"
Far away up the Nile lay Memphis,
with her bright-winged temples and
palaces; a city seventeen miles in cir
cult, the seat of the Pharoahs for nearly
a thousand years, at this time the capi-
tai of Egypt. Here were the splendid
temples of Isis, Scraps, and of the Sun,
and the throne was then filled with a
Pharaoh who had overthrown eleven
other Egyptian kings.
His name was Psammeticus. His son.
the Pharaoh Necho, slew Josiah, king
of Judah, B. C. 6l0.
He was sitting in cool portieO of his
palace toward evening. The crimson
sun was blazing low on the hot sands of
the desert, but cool winds tripped with
light feet along the dimping waves of
the Nile, and famed the king as they
passed. He arose, walked into an open
court, when a great shadow passed
above him.
He looked up, and beheld with de-
light and awe an eagle descending, and
wheeling above his head, with some
thing sparkling in his talOns. He looked
upon the bird as a messenger from the
sun.
He lifted his arms for joy. Just then
the eagle began to ascend. dropping the
glittering treasure from his talons into
his bosom.
1t was Rodolphe's jewelled slipper.
The next day Psammeticus issued a
proclamation which caused all Mem
phis to wonder. Whoever would find
the mate to the jewelled slipper, which
the eagle had brought TO the palace,
should be loaded with riches, and taken
into the service of the king.
Rodolphe heard the great news. She
believe that the eagle was indeed a
messenger of the gods to point out
her destiny. So she came to magnifi-
cent Memphis to answer the proclama-
ton of the king. With one slipperless
foot she ascended the grand porticoes
of the PharaOhs, and stood before the
king with downcast eyes, lifting her
dress just above her dainty feet-a per-
feet vision of beauty. OF course Psam-
meticus Immediately fell in love with
her, and married her, and made her
queen of all Egypt.
There was great joy in all the dazzling
temples of Memphis when the marriage
was consummated-there was dancing
and music, and strewing of flowers. All
Egypt was happy.
