Marine Creatures That Make 1t Unpleas-
ant for Pearl Hunters.
The diver, as the reader may imagine,
gets many scares when below. a fif-
teen foot shark, magnifed by the water
and making bee line for one, is suf-
hclent to make the stoutest heart
quake, in spite of the assertion that
sharks have never been known to at
tack man in dress Neither is the
sight OF large turtle comforting when
one does not know exactly what it is,
and the coiling of a sea snake around
ones legs, although it has only ones
hands to bite at, is, to say the least, un-
pleasant. A little fish called the stone
fish is one of the enemies of the diver.
says writer in the Century. 1t seems
to make its habitation right under the
pearl shell, as it is only when picking
them up that anyone has been known
to be bitten. remember well the first

bag of shells and fastened to the sur

hand and arm had so swollen that it
was with difficulty could get the dress

days and suffering intense pain the
while. Afterward l learned that staying
down couple of hours after a bite
will stop any further discomfort, the
pressure of water causing much bleed

ing the poison.
One of the strange effects that diving
has upon those who practice it is the
invariable bad temper felt while work

passes away as soon as the surface is

them the bra1A, My experience has
been that while be-ow one may fly into

HE OBJECTED.
How a New York Bachelor Regarded a
Washington Chaperon.

How a New York Bachelor Regarded a
Washington Chaperon.
Last season, relates Washington
letter writer, a well-known bachelor of
New York city visited the national CAPT
tai to enjoy the social advantages of
the official season. While there he met
charming young woman, whom he in
vited to accompany him to the opera
She accepted the invitation provided he
would permit her to ask some older
lady as chaperon. She secured the
companionship of prominent wealthy
spinster in the West End, who was a
mutual friend, and the evening passed
delightfully."-. Not long afterward the
young man invited the fascinating
chaperon to accompany him alone to
the theater, when, to his surprise, she
also demanded the presence of third
party, and for proprietys sake proposed
her maid.
He accepted the position with as
good grace as possible, and upon the
evening appointed called for his COM
panion in a coupe. The lady appeared,
cloaked and hooded, followed closely
by an ebony female attendant When
about to step into the carriage, where
she had already placed her maid upon
the only vacant seat, she turned smiling
ly to her escort and remarked: 'sMr.
A., will you be kind enough to sit
outside with the driver?" The highly
disconnected beau looked aghast for an
instant at such an unusual proposal,
but quickly recovering himself threw
open the carriage door, and, with an ex-
clamation more expressive than polite,
replied: ''No, I'll be hanged if / will!
Let the darby sit with the driver, if you
must have her." It is needless to say
that his determination carried the day,
but the lady was comforted by the pres
ence of the sable chaperon, who occu-
pied a rear seat in the privacy of the
box throughout the performance.

PARlSIANS AT THE THEATER.
They Go There With the Fixed Purpose
of Enjoying Themselves.

OF Enjoying Themselves.
The French love for the theater can
hardly be overest1mated- They love it
for its own sake, for what they see and
hear there. Even in Paris it is only the
more thoughtless votaries of pleasure
the busy idlers of the singh life," (pro-
nounced ''igg-leaf'') who look upon the
theater merely as one of the many en-
vironments in which social business is
to be conducted. The sort of unrea-
sonlng. automatic attraction toward the
theater, the love for its very atmos-
pherc, and the daily recurring home
sickness for its thronged auditorium
and deoXldated air, that one finds in al
most all classes in Italy, are not charac-
teristic of the average Frenchman, nor
even the average Partisan, says writer
in Scribner's. Leaving the ''high-ifeurs''
aside, you will find that when the Paris
1dler goes to theater or to concert,
he does so with the perfectly fixed in
tent of enjoying himself in definite
and predetermined way; he is careful
to know beforehand just what he is to
see or hear, and makes up his mind that
the entertainment will be to his liking
before he buys his ticket Once at the
theater, his absorption in what goes on
on the stage is complete, and his disap-
pointment correspondence acute if the
performance does not please him.
Then, when boredom has fastened upon
him-the thing in life he most abhors-
he becomes most unpleasant person
to act to. The traditional cool apathy
of a Boston audience does not begin to
be the wet blanket to an actors fire
that the uncOncealed boredom of a
Paris house is. Loud expressions of dis
approval have gone out of fashion, and
are rather frowned down, but the IN
easy restlessness of house face to face
with dull play is communicative, and
more eloquent of discomfort than Kisses
and cat-calls. And the Partisan sell
dom, if ever, takes refuge in that favor
tie resource of the American when he
finds himself bored; leaving the thea
ter before the play is over and going
home. He likes his Grammatical or must
cal pleasure in large doses, partly as
a matter of taste, ans partly also for
reasons of economy; for an evening out
means saving of firewood and lamp oil
at home.

An English Parrot Story.

The following parrot story comes from
London: A well-known bird fancier
had a parrot which could repeat many
phrases. One day, being anxious to ex-
hibit his cleverness before some friends,
he several times commanded the bird to
say Uncle" but the parrot would not
repeat it. In his anger he seized the
bird, and half-twisting his neck, ex-
claimed: "Say uncle you beggar!' and
threw him in the henhouse, in which
he had ten prize Dorking chickens.
Shortly afterwards, thinking he had
killed the parrot, he went to the pen.
To his surprise, he saw nine Of the
fowls dead on the floor with their necks
wrung, and the parrot standing on the
tenth twisting his neck and screaming:
"Say uncle you beggar, say 'uncle!'"

Louis on Aug. an attempt will be made
to depose P. ]. Mcclure, secretary Of
that organization, and vice-president

The Story of a Lost Locket.

Mrs. Andrew Crosse, in Temple Bar,
tells a pretty little story of lost
loclzet The famous eccentric Lady
Hester Stanhope told the physician
who travelled with her to the east that
she had never known but three really
great men. They were her uncle, Will
liam Pitt; her brother, James Stanhope;
and Sir John Moore. The two last were
both killed in the battle of Corunna
She got a lock of the hair of each, and
set them in a gold locket, with the coat
of-arms and name of each respectively
In 1914 Lady Hester determined to live
permanently in Syria, and sent for her
possessions-this locket being among
them. The ship containing her val
uables sailed and was heard of at
Cypress; soon after one Of those Medi-
terranean squalls came on and nothing
more was ever heard of ship, crew or
cargo. Thirty years elapsed. Lady
Hester had long been dead when a let
ter came to the admiralty from the con-
sui at Jaffa saying that an Arab had
picked up on the beach gold ornament
with Frank characters. This
was the long-lost locket, and Lord
Stanhope kindly giving up his claim to
it, says Mrs Crosse, it became Sir
Graham Moore's and is now in my pos

finance committee for a report to be
made next session.
Senator George of Mississippi opened
the debate this week with long speech
In favor of an anti-option bill of his
own, which he wants substituted for

A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
Two Soldiers of the Same Name, State and
Rank.

Two Soldiers of the Same Name, State and
Rank.
The recent death of Mai. William G.
Manning of Newport, Me-, says the
New York Sun, recalls the curious coin
eidence of two men of the same name,
both belonging in Maine, both enlist
ing in Massachusetts, regiments, and
both attaining the rank of major in the
volunteer service. One was the de-
ceased-the other being Mai. William
G. Manning of the regular army, now
stationed in Texas, a brother of Prem
tiss c. Manning, prominent merchant
of Portland The similarity in the
names and rank of the two men has
frequently caused annoying and ludi-
crous mistakes on the part of the people
who mixed the soldiers up. On one &C.
casion the Newport major visited a
western city and his arrival was men
toned in the local papers. Next day
he received note from lady whom he
never heard of before asking him CURLY
why he had neglected to call upon her.
Was he too much taken up with other
people to pay any attention to her, or
did he not consider it worth his while
to call? and so on, the epistle plainly
leading up to a flow of tears. The as
tonished veteran did not call upon the
lady and when they met she felt more
foolish than neglected She was the
intended bride of the other major. The
two soldiers occasionally happened to
be in the same city at the same time,
and as both were well-known innumera-
