Burns Won the Dinner.

This story is told of Robert Burns in
his youth: One day he was passing
through the town of Ayr when he saw
two strangers sitting at one of the inn
windows. With idle curiosity, he
stopped to look at them. Seeing him
and thinking that the rustic might af-
ford some amusement while waiting,
the strangers called him in and
asked him to dine with them. Burns
readily accepted the invitation and
proved a merry, entertaining guest.
When dinner was nearly finished, one
of the strangers suggested that each
should try his hand at verse making,
and that the one who failed to write q
rhyme should pay for the dinner. They
felt secure in the challenge, believing
that their rustic would pay for the
meal. The rhymes were written and
Burns read the following: 81, Johnny
Peep, saw two sheep; two sheep saw
me. Half crown apiece will pay for
their fleece, and l, Johnny Peep, go
free" The strangers astonishment
was great, and they exclaimed: who
are you? You must be Robbie Burns!"

WHAT DIVERS DO.
Trade That Is Fraught with Danger
and Calls for Courage and
Understanding.
ITO BE Continued

Every large vessel is now built of
iron, and, in order to keep up the requi-
site speed, their bottoms require fre-
quent cleaning; also, should the screw
become fouled or deranged, from va
rious causes, the diver can always put
it in working order. Should the anchor
become fouled with the cable chain of
another vessel, the diver can go down
and free it, and so avoid the loss of the
anchor. In many other cases a diver
supplied with the necessary outfit may
be instrumental in saving a valuable
vessel and cargo by repairing leaks
from collisions and other accidents.
Our diver may also be employed in the
laying and inspection of mooring
chains, the clearing of dock gates and
sluice valves, in inspecting the founda-
ton of bridges, removing distractions
in rivers, entering shafts of mines over
flowed with water to clear the outlets,
and in repairing the pumps. Should
well pump under water need repair
ing, a competent diver understanding
this branch of engineering can accom-
plish the repairs with as much ease as
though he were on dry land. He can
lay tubes and pipes for waterworks
under the beds of rivers, enter into and
repair gas-holders, descend into danger
Gus places where foul air and noxious
gases have collected, such as the fire.

Of course, a man undertaking such
work must not only be a good diver, but
he must also understand his trade

sea work he must necessarily be good
seaman. The sponge, pearl, coral and
amber fisheries, as you may imagine,

sacks, we carried out such food as
was at hand and speedily filled them.
We took care to do this unobserved,
though I think we might safely have
been bolder, for those about were near
all in liquor, or busted with their own
concerns.
We took the sacks to one of the
rear offices and concealed them, and
returned to the outer region of the
court. We scarce expected to see Mr..
Tym, or to learn that he had finished
his part of the business, and in this
we were not mistaken, for he did not
at once appear. We lounged about, af-
fecting little interest in what was do
ing (playing this part that we might
seem consistent with our conduct be-
fore), and so continued till at last
Mr.. Tym came out. He moved in an
Indifferent fashion, not very fast, but
yet not overriding his part, and so
drew presently along to us. My pulse
ran with some disorder, by this time,
for the delay was trying, and, more
over, this was almost the heart of
the business.

CRADLE. "He has taken the lady out

TO PREVENT STRIKES.
Bishop Potter, of New York, About to
Organize a Permanent Council
of Mediation.

Bishop Potter, of New York, has adj
vfsed the leading members of the Social
Reform club that he is now prepared to
take up the work of organizing per-
manent council of mediation and con-
ciliation with the purpose of prevent
ing strikes by the surface railway en-
ployes in New York. Edward King, of
the Social Reform club, in speaking of
the matter, said:
at is quite true that Bishop Potter
meditates organizing such board. Seth

are the three men who have been select
ed by the contending parties hereto
fore as arbitrators, and they are all
prominent on the present board of medi-
alton and Cancellation, which was origi-
nally organized by the labor people in
connection with the church association
for advancing the interests of labor.
These men, and the majority of the
board as well, object to offering their
services in strikes which have taken
place, except at the request of both
the parties concerned, as they feel that
otherwise they would be deemed not
only officious, but also to be seeking
publicity.
THE council Bishop Potter seeks to
organize is to consist of representatives
of the different surface railway en-
ployes' unions, together with the presi-
dents of all the railway companies.
His purpose is, on the one hand, to pre-
vent the inconvenience to the public
which is attendant upon strike, and
equally, on the other, the sufferings of
the strikers and their families. He also
thinks that in many instances the en-
ployes have not been treated with ex-
act fairness, and that if the employers
could be convinced of the justice of
some of the grievances it would re-
suit in their saving greatexpenseift they
would treat with their employees direct
ly and fairly. Bishop Potter has been
led to this view by the success that has
attended certain industries which have
avoided strikes for long time by the
use of permanent boards Of arbitration

Tym.

place but a few leagues to the
south, or to Buenaventura, which may
be two hundred" answered the cap
tain. II suppose these or any other
would serve"
We went into the matter a little
further, but in the end came to the
captains plan.
Then do you go now" he asked
"and try to find out the location of
the senorita's ROOM and likewise fetch
what you can of stores and water.
Doubtless you can obtain enough for
the purpose, as we are not likely to
make a long voyage, and, moreover,
there may be somewhat of the kind
aboard. Meanwhile l will search for
