What Hnnnoned to a pittsburg Nan.

Newspapers nowadays are fullof stor-
les Of the marvellous luck which has be-
fallen people who DID not look for any,
thing of the kind to happen. Every now
and then we hear of somebody having
large fortune left to them by the death
of Il distant relative, cousin in Califor-
MIA or something of that kind. Not long
ago young Pittsburgor had singular
piece of luck happen to him. One day
the young gentlemen in question was
walking down Fifth avenue, when he
saw an old and rather decrepit man slip
on a crossing and fall heavily. He aid
ed him to regain his footing, and helped
him into neighboring drug store,
whore the old man had his leg mended
with sticking plaster as he had knocked
some of the skin off The old fellow
seemed very grateful for the courtesy
which had been shown him, and, after
asking the name of the young man who
hah been of service to him, he wrote lit
down in memorandum book, and said,
as he shook hands,
my name is; am from Massa-
chusctts. some uay' perhaps, you may
hear from me-"
Time passed on, and all recollection
of the occurrence passed from the Pitts
burger mind. He became embarrassed
in business, and he was reduced to en-
trcmc poverty. One day when he felt
extremely down-heartcd, and did not
know which way to turn for a livelihood,
he CHANGED to pick up Boston paper,
and to his intense establishment he saw
that the old man whom he had picked
up on Fifth avenue was dead, aud by his
will, which was published in the paper,
the Pittsburger saw that fortune OF
over three hundred thousand dollars had
been left by the dead man to found q
theological seminary.

There is much 10 do beforehand along
shore in blessing the boats and uttering
spells against sharks and drowning, and
the crews often embark priest with
them.
The divers take il in turns TO descend.
Many OF them compress their nostrils
with pincers Of bamboo, and stop their
ears with cotton or beeswax To keep off
the pressure Of the water, which at sew
en- or eight fathoms is considerable.
They fastcn u net round the waist, and,
putting a stone between their feet, they
slide overheard. Arrived at the bottom,
they sweep into their net the oysters
within their reach, give the rope a jerk,
and are hauled up again, gasping, faint,
and livid. Few can keep below longer
than hundred seconds, and the men
return in very exhausted condition,
though practice works wonders in this
respect. They never eat previously to

it. before partaking Of any food or

An Australian Legend.

The Pleiades were queen and her
six attendants. Long ago, the Crow
fell in love with the queen, who refused
TO be his wife. The Crow found that
the queen and her six maidens were in
the habit of hunting for white, edible
grubs in the bark Of trees. The Crow
at once changed himself intoa grub and
hid in the bark OF tree. The six maid
ems sought TO pick him out with their
wooden hooks, but he broke the points
of all tho hooks. Then came the queen
with her pretty bone hook. Ho lethiln-
self be drawn out, took the shape OF o
giant. and ran away with her Ever
since there have only been six stars, the
six maidens. in the Plead. This story
is well-known, by the strlctest inquiry,
to be current in Australia. 1902 tl3

In these days of corruption, when almost every
issue of the paper contains the information Of the
detection of some persons engaged In thieving
and pilerng It is no more than justice that cases
on the bright side of humanity should be chron.
iclcd One of the most noteworthy came to the
notice of the Herald last week, and proves con-
clusivcly that all of us are not what we are pic
tured up TO be. On Monday Mrs. Bryan, living at
1897 street. dropped her pocket book on Penn
sylyania avenue, near Taylor IIurty's store con-
tanning nearly Sl20, and the same was picked up
by lady named Mrs. joseph Bowler living at72O
Seventh street southwest. As soon as the lady
picked 1t up she retraccd her steps and went to
the office of THE REPUBLICAN and inserted
notice, stating where the purse coulG ue found IL
identification was established. hirs Bryan went
to the nla"n, described The baok. and was over
joyed to have IT handed her by the worthy and
honest woman into wht Sc hands II had fortunately
fallen. What makes the affair the more credltable
is the fact that the finder is lady of very mod
crate ineans and the amount would have been a
small fortune to her II she had wanted to be UNI
scrupulous and keep the money. Tie loser, also,
is not. one gifted with great deal of worldly
possessions, and who, in testimony of her appre-
citation Of Mrs. Buw'er's honesty, made her pres
