Binding a Shark.

A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such a
man, connected with large wrecking
company, was visiting the pearl fisher.
les in the gulf of California. On one Of
mis- trips in quest of the pearl oyster he
had a narrow escape from fearful
death.
He had been instructed never TO stir
from the bottom until he had looked up
and around. Fortunately he needed the
advice. Having filed his bag he glanced
quickly abont, and caught sight of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was large rock. He moved
quickly TO the other side of it, hoping to
dodge the ferocious monster. But the
maneuver did not work; the shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by a slight motion Of his power
full tail.
Time was precious, and the diver con.
ceived the idea of binding the shark by
stirring up the mud. Under cover Of
that he might escape. He worked for
dear life, and had the water thick with
mud in less than half minnie.
Slipping around the rock again he rose
to the surface, having barely strength
enough to reach the side of the boat, and
was hauled on board just as the vora-
cious man eater made a rush for him. -

A DOCTORS ADVICE.
Things Which Belong to the Body Cover
ings for the Night.


ings for the Night.
The hours of repose are among the es-
sentials of the many matters of routine
which contribute in varying measures
toward existence. With these hours go
the clothing for the night.
Many ideas are prevalent in regard to
what should be worn at the time when
one ordinarily prepares for that repose
which is to give energy for the following
day. One person. has an opinion that a
certain form of night robe and bed
covering Of particular construction or
character are the proper things for
health and for comfort. Ordinarily
these convictions of thought are not
worth serious consideration. A little
common sense goes great way and car
ries with it nearly every thing that sug-
gests a proper habiliment for the hours
Of sleeping
In the first place there is the body gar
ment proper, and this is from purely
sanitary standpoint best exemplified in
the pajamas. Pajamas cover both body
and limbs and furnish all necessary
warmth and comfort. They are loose
fitting and thoroughly comfortable, and
so very easily adjusted that any one can
put them on the body with that facility
with which an ordinary night shirt is
placed. Women who may be averse to
adopting clothes which may outwardly
appear manlike may find in health a
goal well worth contesting, and in COW
ering themselves with that style Of gar
ment which is thoroughly sensible.
The composition Of the nightgown is a
matter of taste. Canton flannel, linen
and wooden goods stand at the head of
the list; after these come the silks. One,
however, which deserves special atten-
ton and which is equally suited for both
sexes is the real china silk. This last Is
the best, but cannot be procured at
prices within ordinary range OF purse.
If it can be bought it will give not only
a necessary protection, but comfort
able and an enduring garment.
The matter u bed clothing is another
thing deserving Of thought, comprising
that same relation to the body which
the outer clothing should hold. A few
simple rules should cover the entire
ground, and they are comprised in -four
homely precepts: Use hair or husR
mattress, cover this mattress with 9
blanket, cover the blanket with a sheet
put sheet, blankets and counterpane
or extras if you like, above this, and al
/ ways bear in mind that lowering oi
the body's temperature at night is not t
be sanctioned.-New York World.

There are many things which women
do not approve in men, as there are
doubtless many faults in the moral and
mental composition of women which
are distastefnl to men.
The violence and abnsiveness, the laok
of dignity, and even those personal DIFF.
ferences which are emphasized with
blows it would be painful to see intro
dIced into an assemblage of women
Nevertheless there is no reason why the
other extreme of excessive amiability
should be aimed at, with the caressing
and petting that have their proper and
only place within the four walls and the
strict seclusion OF home. 1t is far CRY
from the masculine turbulence of po
litical primary to the excessive sweetness
of the too "womanly" convention, bus
there lies between the two golden
mean, where courtesy and refinement
and unceasing regard for the feelings OF
others are perfectly compatible with
official dignity and refreshing good sense.

"A Snake story.


The Aberdeen News furnishes the fol-
lowing combination snake and ghost
story: S. Hawkins relates for the first
time thrilling adventure that he had in
company with another resident of the
city during the summer of 1888. He was
called to Fort Yates on business trip
and realizing that the trip which had to
DO made over land from the terminal OF
the railroad. was very tedious, invited
his friend to accompany him. The trip
vas made in safety, accompanied with
considerable pleasure until the Missouri
river was reached. Steve remarked to
his companion that he had never drank
from the limpid waters of the big muddy,
and aiighting from the buggy, went down
the bank to get drink while his compan-
ton remained IN the buggy to hold the
horse.
Imagine the horror OF Steve's compan-
ION when he saw him sink out Of sight.
into Garth, apparently engulfed, swallow
cd up as it were. Realizing that some
catastrophe had befallen him, he hasten
Cd to his rescue. Far down beneath him

help. Approaching the hole through which
Stove had fallen, the earth, already weak
ened, gave way. ind both were precipi-
tated to the bottom of the cave. They
saw before them, by the light that was
admitted, q magnificent room, The sides
and ceiling of which were as white as al
abaster. aud reaching far back into the
impenetrable gloom. They were awe
struck. Steve, with his hair turning al
most white, told his companion to listen.
when borne upon the currents of the cool
refreshing air, came low musical sound,
seemingly afar off. 1t approached nearer
and nearer where the two stood. The
strange weird sound approaching from
the darkness. made things seem somewhat
ancanny. With eyes and nerves strained,
they beheld presently approaching them.

fifty peculiar looking snakes, each about

the emergency. Steve, springing upon
his companions shoulder, clambered up
shine again. fastening to the waters
edge, he secured long pole from the
drift-wood and thrusting 1t down with
almost superhuman strength, pulled his
companion out.
There is tradition among the Sioux
Indians of the existence OF this strange
snake, but its existence was way
back in the misty past, aud stories of this
singing snake have become tradition.

The Supreme Court Decides He is
Still Judge of the Seventh
Circuit.
A Thrilling Snake Adventure Which
Once Happened on the Old
Muddy.
Local and General News Picked up in
the City and Cleaned From
Exchanges.

The following decision by the supreme
court last Friday may clear up to some
degree the doubts as to the meaning of
the constitution in the election of our jul
dietary. VIM. Gardner, defendant was APP
pointed Judge to fill a vacancy in the Sew
cnth district, and at the last election
Levi McGce ran for the Office. and as he
was the only candidate claims an cleo
ton:
That clause of section 3. of article !, OF
the constitution which authorizes the
supreme court to issue the writ OF quo
warranto. must be understood as intcnd-
ed to give the court jurisdiction of eases
in which the information in the nature OF
auo warranto has become substitute for
the ancient writ.
In case of doubt between different con
structions claimed for Il constitutional or
statuatory provision. or the meaning OF Il
term, it is always allowable to inquire
what results would legitmatcly follow
either, with a view of ascertaining, if
possible. whether such consequences were
contemplated or intended.
There is no inherent reserve power in
the people to hold an election to ill q
vacancy in an elective Office.
Such election can only be held when
and rs authorized by law.
In section 81, article v of the constitu-
.tion, which provides that vacancies in
the elective offices provided for in this
article Judiciary shall be filled by APP
pointmcnt until the general election" etc
the expression, next general election"
means the next election at which it i:
provided by law that the officer may be
elected whose Office has become vacant.
In November, 1892. when the genera
election was held, there was no law, con
sttuti0nal or statutory, authorizing TIT
election of a circuit judge, either for a
full term, or for fractional term.
Until such a law is passed there can b.
no election OF supreme Or circuit judge
pnder section 26. article v. of the consti
tuition providing that The judges OF tn

the provisions of the constitution an
therefore as provided by law
The governor having appointed re-
spondent to the Office of circuit Judge o

sancy in said Office, such appointment
constitutes good title to such Office un
til the legislature provides by law for tn
election of his successor.

THE MARINE MINSTRELS.

A good house greeted these young
gentlemen at the apera house Wednes-
day evening, and supported them with
rounds of appreciative encouragement.
The boys did first rate. Their display
upon the stage was about equal to the
average; their sallies of minstrel
comicality, bristled with local hits that
provoked great merriment; while in the
role of graver numbers several were
presented of real merit. The opening
overture, by the full company was well
rendered. Stoudenmeyer's solo per-
Torrance upon the cornet led in ex-
cellence, and his side partner, Nc
Lyman called down the house with his
violin ''Mocking Bird" Weaver
swung himself in good shape over the
resonant chords of the .banjo,-the
most "niggahly" looking corker in the
outfit-and little Ray, the juvenile
moke, sang the best song of the even
ing. Fisher did some creditable tum-
bling and Ready swung the clubs in a
dextrous style. Among the cutting
gags, the unkindest cut of all was that
presided over by George Paul, the
inimitable imperson;.t,r of "B'r Hi
jinks the cul!ui lecturer" when he
spanked the ictas on the table tco hard
with his umbrella and the flying wash
dish took him Il severe cut over the
eye. This feature wasn't down on
the programme and it lad the effect of
knocking out the afterpiece of the eve
ming because Of the disablement of the
star. All in all the performance was a
creditable one, and that the commun-
ity takes a pride in Its histrionic talent
was evidenced by the good substantial
support they gave the entertainment.
