Three of This Girls Sweethesrts Have
Died in Succession.
A drummer who arrived the other
day from Phoenix, A. T., tells of girl
who has lost by death three men to
whom she was successfully engaged.
In the first instance the youth, TO
whom she had been betrothed for
year and half, expired on the very eve
of the wedding. In the second, another
Young man, to whom she had been en-
gagged soon after the melancholy event,
died a few days before the marriage,
and his successor in her affections has
now shared similar fate.
1t seems that sundry ancient females
of the neighborhood, attributing this
series of calamities to the fact that the
young woman had the 'evl eye," have
calmly suggested that the only remedy
TO be found is burning her alive. On
that score there need be no fear, of
course, but the general opinion is that
her chances of meeting with fourth
sutton are now infnitesimal.
The unlucly girl is described by the
Tombstone Epitaph as being of an ami
able and sympathetic disposition, and
as being, moreover, of very attractive
appearance -

the Life Boat.
During the recent sojourn of the
court at Osborne sea bathing was reg
ular item in the daily programme. On
the private beach, near the queens
jetty, there is barge with a hollow
center, which can be quickly run along
a rail into the sea. The bottom of this
barge is so arranged that the water
comes in at once, and the center be-
comes a tank, which makes a tirst-rate
bathing place for children.
This, says London Sketch, was daily
used by the families of the duke and
duchess of Connaught and Prince and
Princess Henry of Battenberg.
Off this beach there is also a floating
bath, which consists of well, 80 feet
by ten feet, with a wooden grating at
the bottom, which can be adjusted SO
as to afford the requisite depth of wa
ter. There is a dressing-room and the
whole structure is inclosed by screen.
A small lifeboat, manned by two
sailors from the royal yacht, is always
in attendance in Osborne bay during
bathing hours. The queen has bath

TRICKS IN HIGH DIVING.
The Secret of Dropping Safely Into
shallow Tank of Water.

Shallow Tank of Water.
"What bothers most people who think
anything about the subject said Kear-
ney P. Speedy, high diver, who, says
the New York Herald, began his pub
lie career by jumping head first from
the st. Louis bridge four or five years
years ago, sis how a dive of so or 60 feet
can be made in tank of SO inches of
water. You see, they confuse diving
with bridge jumping-quite a different
thing. Bridge jumpers are neither
Jumpers or divers-they're choppers;
that is, they reach the lower rods of
the bridge truss and drop feet foremost
into the water. The trick is to main
tain the perpendicular. They must
have plenty of water under them, too.
The high diver, as you have seen, makes
clear dive, head first, just as a boy
does from a springboard in swimming.
! do it in very shallow water. weigh,
stripped, $50 pounds, and never do any
training. / have been diving from the
top of circus tent all summer into "a
tank but seven feet wide, and into water
but three feet deep. The shallow dive
is possible from the same principle that
a cannon or rifle shot meets the most
resistance the more powerful the inn
pact. You see, give my body and head
slight inclination upward at the in
slant strike the water, which causes
me to pop out as board would do or
an oar on the feather. l learned this
trick in the st. Louis natatorium when
boy, practicing in shallow water and
from greater height. Then there is
a certain elasticity in the water known
to the high diver, but the trick is in the
strike and turn, for water will break
bones and crush chests, as many man
knows"

the best months for pruning grape vines.
Spring will do, but there is danger that
it will be neglected until the proper sea-
son for pruning is over The right plan
is to cut out all the wood that will not be
needed for bearing fruit next season.
Leave at least two good buds on the
spurs of this years growth, as near the
ground as possible, and have the canes of
next seasons growth start as low down
on the parent vine as practicable. Some
growers think that by pruning In the fall
and letting this year s canes bend down
to the ground the buds just below the
bend will put forth stronger shoots or
canes than they otherwise would. Be
this as it may, prefer that the canes be

NEEDLE POINTS.
At Nuremberg In 1870 Is the First Date
of Needle Making as a Trade

Needle making and needle using are
probably tho two earliest industries. The
sacred writings with their story of fig leaf
gir.iles point without doubt to the use Of
some rude implement for sowing purposes.
What we of these later days might think
of Adam and Ewes early tool We're it pos
sible to compare it with our highly pol
ished steel instrument it is, OF course, not
possible to say. a sharpcned twig from

from a perfumed brier bush may have
served in the making of those artistic
aprons of Edenic days. But, be that as it
may, we are all familiar with the fact thar
fish bones, pointed strips of bone andiv
etc, were in use among the so called =
barrie nations simultaneously with the fine
bronze needles of the Chinese, iindoos,
Egyptians, Assyrians and Hebrews, speci
mems Of which, more than 1000 years old,
have been found in Egyptian tombs.
The year 1870 is the earliest authentic
date NEE ioned in connection with needle
making as u trade and Nuremberg the
place Of manufacture. 1t is claimed by the
Spaniards that they taught the art to the
Germans, and tradition has it that q Span
ish negro actually made needles in Cheap

as he would never teach his secret to any,
il died with him.

Bess the needles appear to have had gay

Importance Of Healthy Blood.

merely solidi6ed blood, and upon the quality
of the blood depends the condition Of the

newed and sustained is pure and nutritious, it
is impossible that the body can be healthy
