TREASURES OF THE DEEP.

Attempt to Recover Piratei' sunkeu
Spoil
An interesting effort is being made
in Dunworley bay, on the Irish coast
near Cork, to recover a considerable
amount of treasure which there is good
reason to believe lies beneath its
waves. Tradition has long told fab
ulous tales Of armada galleons lost
there but the more prosaic and re-
liable pages Of the history of Bandon
tell OF sunken pirate schooner. and
vessel Of name and type unknown
which foundered there during the
reign OF William and Mary. The ex-
istence OF these two wrecks was per-
fectly well known in the 40's-when
they were examined by one Of the first
professional divers who worked on the
Irish coast, Patrick Collins, and the
father OF the diver who is con-
Quoting the present endeavors. The
elder Collins worked in what

ed merely Of helmet riveted to the
upper part Of protective and water
tight garb which did not extend below
the waist. With this primitive gear
ne was able to recover some drinking
vessels, ivory tusks, head Of Egyptian
origin and coins of William and Mary,
IN addition to several guns. The diver
was told that according to local legend
the pirates had sunk their treasure
chest, dashed between two guns, rather
than allow it to be seized but no signs
OF 1t were to be seen. More than a
month ago ]. Mulcahy and T. R. Hol-

last year. The result, so far, has been
that dozen guns in remarkable pre-
servation, and apparently about 200
years old, have been brought to the
surface, together with gold coin Of
William III, some more beads and
ivory. The examination is, however,
going on, and, If necessary, the hulls
will be blown up with tonite or dyna-
mite cartridges. These guns cannot,
however, claim to be the oldest objects
ever recovered from the deep. w. A..

How Scotch University Professor Was
Fooled by q Student.
(From the Pittsburg News.)
A Scotch university professor, irri-
tated to find that his students had got
into the habit of placing their hats and
canes on his desk. instead of in the
cloakroom, announced that the next
article of the kind placed there would
be destroyed. Some days later the pro-
lessor was called for a moment from
the class room. A student slipped into
his private room and emerged with
the professors hat, which he placed
conspicuously on the desk, while his
fellows grinned and trembled. The pro-
lessor, on returning, saw the hat,
thought some rashly obstinate student
had been delivered into his hands, and,
taking out his knife, he cut the Offend
Ing article to pieces, while vainly at
tempting to conceal the smile of tri.
umph that played about his counte-
nance. He was in very bad temper
the next day.

OLD SHOES.
And a Word About Other Things Old,
Including Old Habits.

Including Old Habits.
GAS easy as an old SHOE" is ia
miliar saying" said Mr.. Staybolt, "and
there can be no doubt that an old shoe
is a mighty comfortable thing. After
we have worn the new shoes, close Mt
ting, hard, and formal, how gladly we
put them off, and with what joy we
put on the shoes that are old and worn
and familiar to the feet. Old shoes.
however, are not the only thing old
that we like. We like an old bed, IL
it is not too old, but just old enough,
so that while still soft and comfort
able, it is also shaped somewhat to the
yielding degree of comfort which not
the finest of beds can afford when 1t
is new. But it is so with all things
old, that are not too old, including old
habits. We cling to them, so long as
they give us comfort, and we hate to
change. We are creatures Of habit,
who would if we could follow to the
end along the first comfortable rut we
fall into, and never look out above its
sides. And 1t is we'll for us that our
shoes wear out, and that we have to
buy new ones and wear them; that we
are in various ways compelled to
change; that we are rooted out now
and then and set going anew. And
some of us profit by this change. Once
lifted out of the rut we stay up on the
plain, where there is nothing to cramp
us, and where we can lay about freely
in any direction in accordance with
our power, but more of us, fancy,
rather welcome the days when the
shoes grow old again, and yield with
out much struggle to the enticements
of ease and comfort"
