Persian Gulf Pearl Fishers.

Not in Ceylon only does tina pearl
fisher ''go all naked to the angry shark. y
The great event Of the year among the
Arab population Of the shores OF the Per-
sian Gulf and its islands is the diving
operations, which extend over one hun
dred days of the hot season. The pearl
take is their harvest, and all classes,
from chiefs to domestic slaves, have
some interest in it. Mr.. Ross, who re-
sides permantly at Bushire, states, in his
report on the trade Of that district, that,
in spite of the abundant harvests of re-
cent years, pearls have been steadily ris-
ing in the market, fact which accounts
for the prosperity Of the coast folk, who
are taking to build larger vessels than Of
yore. 1t is reckoned that nearly two
thousand bouts Of various sizes and thirty
thousand men are engaged in this adj
venturous industry. London Daily

The Danger of Too Much Exercise.

Dr Patton. chief surgeon Of the Ma
tional Soldiers Home, at Dayton, Ohio,
said, in an interview in Pittsburgh the
other day, that, of the 5, 1000 soldiers in
the Dayton home, fully 80 per cent. are
suffering from heart disease in one form
or another, due to the forced physical
exertion of the campaigns" And he
made the prediction that as large pro-
portion of the athletes of to-day will be
found twenty-five years from now to be
victims Of heart disease, resulting from
the muscular strains that they force
themselves to undergo. AS for the like
Ikood Of exercise to prolong life, it may
be said that, according to the statistice
of Msde Solaiylle, there are more people
living in France to-day who have passed
the age Of sixty than there arein England,
the home of athletic sports. And there
is probably no nation In Europe more adj
verse to muscular cultivation for its own
sake than the French. Great athletes
die young, and mortality list Of Oxford
rowing men published few years ago
showed that q comparatively small per
ccntage of them lived out the allotted
lifetime. DIR. Jastrow has demonstrated
in some very elaborate statistics that men
of thought live, on an average, three and
a half years longer than men in the ordi-
nary vocations of life, and nearly eight
years longer than men of action, among
whom are included the athletes, And it
is a noteworthy fact that women, who,
until recent years, have taken no physical
exercise at all, die of a more advanced
age than men. But doubtless their SUI
periority in regard to tenure Of life will
come to an end if they follow the advice
DIR. Richardson, who, in lecture before
the Ladies' Sanitary Association, of Lon
don, is reported to have declared it es-
sential, as matter of principle, that
eight hours a day should be devoted to
exercise - Providence journal.

A Renowned Indian Drowned.

Old Doaksum, the renowned and ia
vorably known old-time Indian of the
Sierra, was drowned in the North fork of
the Feather River this week. He was
engaged in fishing in the stream near
Hudson's place in Big Meadows, when his
boat was overturned by the swift current
which runs through the deep cut made
by the heavy storm during the past win
ter The old man, being feeble, was I'M
able to manage the craft, and before as
sistance arrived he had disappeared
beneath the rapidly rushing waters. The
age of this Indis is believed to be ITO
years, as he was quite an old man when
the earliest settlers took possession of
this country. -[Quincy Gal. National.

Curious Dental Deformity.

A curious dental deformity has been
noticed among the natives of the Admit
rally and Hermit Isles. In them the
upper incisors Ii. e., the four front teeth
in the upper gum project almost hori-
zontally and to such degrees as to extend
beyond the lips when the mouth is closed.
Moreover, the breadth of one of these
teeth is often equal to its visible length;
one instance being mentioned where a
tooth was quarters of an inch broad
by nearly two-thirds of an inch of visible
length. As it is the fashion of these
savages to blacken their teeth, the sight
is not pretty one 1.-THE Ledger.
