COnlbatiYe Clam.
Leisure Hour.

In diving for CLAIMS las in octopus
diving it is usual to provide oneself
with sharp pointed stake or an iron
rod. At Artutaki, when the tide is out,
CLAIMS are picked up everywhere on
the reef. At Manke men dive for them
Oh the ocean side Of the narrow firing
ing reef when the sea is smooth. On
reching the bottom the diver stabs the
gaping clam which-for the mollusk is
very tenacious of life--at once firmly
grasps the weapon. The diver now tugs
with both hands until the clam is dis
lodged. 4 couple of expert natives
with cane will get as many as a hun
dred II a day when feast is in pre-
paration. At Manihikki and Rakaanga
the largest clans are about two spans
in length, the animal itself being suf-
ticiently large to satisfy the hunger of
three persons. Clam-diving is women's
works in those atolls. Yet it is surpris-
ing how few accidents occur. The reason
for this may be they dive in compara-
lively shallow water.
Not long since native was feeling
about at the bottom of the lagoon Of
one ofthe Paumotu atolls for the dark
edged pearl oyster. when he unfortun-
ately' inserted the fingers of his left
hand between the valves of a clam.
The diver was instantly made prisoner
by the mollusk. His agony was in
tense. Was it possible to get free? AS
the clam was III hollow just adapted
to its size, he could not sever the bysus
At length in sheer terror of drowning he
cut OFT his four fingers with the knife
pearl-divers carry with them, and rose
to the surface a sadder if not wiser
man. A similar accident took place at
Penrhyns; but the diver instead of
manning himself for life forced his
knife between the valves and released
himself. Should the clam be attached
to smooth bit Of coral, the speediest
mode of rescue is to sever the bundle
of silky tilaments by which it moors
itself. On a neighboring island. ere this
could be done, the forefinger of a clam
diver was Topped off Brought ashore
in baskets, they live for some time.
Children in their play are apt to put
their fingers between the open valves,
and 20 get caught. Their screams soon
bring their parents to the resue, which
it affected by by stabbing the clam
through the cavity of the bysus The
supply of CLAIMS in the Pacific is mex
haustable. If a party of divers should
remove all the large ones from any
particular locality for grand feast, and
should return next year to the same
spot, no difference would be perceived,
SO rapid is the growth of the clam in
these warm waters. Pearls of pecul
iarly brilliant hue are occasionally found
in the clam.

An Actress But not a Artist.
Lucy Hoopers Paris Letter.

Sara Bernhard has taken her
departure at last 1t was time she was
gone, for actually she was becoming well
nigh crazed with self-conceit, and per-
haps the chill winds of ocean may set
her straight again. Actually, on az
irving five minutes late at the railway
station when she left Paris for Havre,
and finding that the trian had not yet
started, she thought that it had been
kept back to wait for her, and she
sent for the station-master in order to
tender him her thanks. She goes and
over determined to make every dollar
possible out of the Yankees not only as
an actress but as an artist. She takes
with her whole cases full of her soul p
lures and an inkstand of her designing,
whereof she possesses the copyright,and
which represents sphinx holding a
skull between its paws. 1t must be
confessed that Sara, though great
actress, Is not much of an artist, and
hope that my countrypeople willno be
lured into buying her pictures and
statutes. The Partisan critics do not
imagine that she will have much of
success in the United States. They
cite perpetually the failure of Rachel
to attract, forgetting, or in fact never
having cared to learn, that our people,
in the last twenty-five years, have
made vast progress in all matters con-
nected with literature and art For
one person that spoke French then
there are dozen now: for one person
that knew anything about luminaries
of the French stage in those days there
are 500 now. Moreover, Rachel was not
the accomplished charlatan that
her brilliant successor undoubtedly is.
She was woman of commanding gen.
ius, with all her many faults and fail
ings, and she would have scorned to
have drifted down the current of pop
uler notoriety on a raft composed of
weak pictures, worthless writings, and
bonnets painted in water colors

The white-wiRged ships that sail away,
Freighted with fears and wasted tears,
And joys we gathered for long, long years
For the possible rainy day.

That glide from the shores of life away,
That swiftly glide with the ebbing tide,
Bearing my joys to the farthe- side,
Into the twilight gray.
Oh the ships that vanish into the past,
Are none to return to the port at last
Shall I vainly wait at the seward gate.
Beatened and bruised, and Scared by fate.
