careless lips reveals 10 him who hears it
the whole inner life Of the speaker. It
is not always safe. however. to base an
opinion Of D person on such a founda-

Yesterday afternoon a horse car was
humping along towards the South End,
aud among the passengers were two re-
fined looking young women, who were
holding an animated conversation in
one corner. Their words were inaudi-
bic to the rest of the passengers owing
70 the noise Of the car-wheels and the
grooming and crcaking Of the vehicle.
/ All of q sudden. however-the car STOP

The effect was extraordinary. Two

/ end of the car laughed aloud, a clerical

arose, and then sat down again; an an

at the speaker through speetacles that

RemarkabIe Bravery of a Diver.

About fifty young men were bathing
ut Stapleton. S. l.. when q shark was
suddenly seen making toward the
group. The bathers were soon out of
danger, except Thos. Koehler, who did
not hear tho warning. The shark
turned and started toward Koehler.
Its white belly flashed in the water
when it was 4 few yards distant from
the young man, who had been informed
of his danger and was making for the
wharf. Ii looked rs if the shark would
surely reach him before he could get
out of the water. The shark and
koehler were on opposite sides of the
pier, and among 1850 on the wharf
was John Taylor, formerly diver.
Taylor hastily borrowed n sailors

the pier in the path of the shark. As
it came nearer the crowd saw that it
was monster more than eight feet
long, and one of the shovelnose species.
Taylor is large man and an expert
swimmer. As the shark swept up and
was rushing toward Koehler, Taylor
sprang from the pier with the sheath
knife in his right hand. He jumped
about eight feet before striking the
water, aud landed just beside the
shark. The whole weight of his body
was thrown on the knife, which he
plunged as he touched the water into
the sharks stomach. Instantly Taylor

A Trick on a Pawnbroker.

A Montreal pawnbroker, a short
time ago, advanced quite sum Of
money on very valuable solitaire
diamond ring, and agreed to sell the
ring at q reasonable price for the
pledger. Soon after q young man
came into the shop, and asked for dia-
mond rings. Among others, the soli-
taire was shown him, but after exam
ming he left without buying. The next
day the broker noticed something
wrong with the ring. and on examining
it became convinced that the stone had
been changed, and that, instead Of &
valuable diamond, he had only worth
less piece Of glass. Then the person
who had pledged the ring demanded
its return, and began to make consid-
erablo fuss, so that altogether the pawn
broker found himself on the horns Of a
most uncomfortable dilemma. Luckily
for him, he succeeded in getting on the
track of the young man, and after 9
great amount of trouble forced him &c
return the stone. He fully believes that
it was a deliberate plot TO swindle hin
by the two persons.-Phlddelphtd Rec
