HUNTING EoR eEARLa-
Two Stars In This PerIlous Line sf
 Work.


 Two famous pearl divers recently fisited San Francisco to buy large quantity Of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea- Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perilous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan gerous archipelago group. They speak good English. however, and both are, thoroughly familiar with the civiliza- ton of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters, says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked in tho trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and a ship; both are engaged in the trade iu south Hestern waters. His ship, however, is a mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make 1t pay, but the com- mercial motber-of-pearl is made from The shells that they deal in, When 1t comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of 8 scoop or iredger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. AS a rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes man will pick up fortuna su few weeks and sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pear1ing is stil. profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to s750 a ton, and there is always a chance that diver may make enough in e1e day to quit for life. "We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet said 0pn, flor tha pressure is too great. Even at these depths men cannot remain down over five or ten minutes. and the average life Of the deep diver is short"

SINGING AT THEIR WORK.
parkiea Accomplish Much Moro Whoa
 They Gan Make Music.

Contractors in south Missouri em- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars Of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped in piles along the side of the roads ThG negroes then take them up, tie by tie, and run with them Up the blanks to the cars, where they drop them in regular order. These negroes are paid price for each tie they carry, so they vie with one another to earn the most money in one day. They become Bo expert at the work that an old hand can throw a heavy tie on his shoulder so that 1t will balance, and then, with out holding it, he will run, both hands pressed flat against his sides, up the gang plank to the car. The negroes are so accustomed to the whrk that they seldom drop tie and seem never 10 have sore shoulders. One may see gangs Of a dozen or more of them, all singing and whistling. Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as he can, and every tune is different. The effect is amusing. but beyond de- scription. The men carry their ties at a trot all day long. An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up the car to examine the ties being load cd. It is amusing to hear the inspee- tor call a negro halfway up the plank with tie on his shoulder to throw it away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets no credit for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst Into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves in the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed, but the flesh is ealloused and seldom sore. The men make good wages, most of them S3.50 day. They spend all of it, Very few of them save their money.

No insult Intended.

Philadelphia Record: While his meal was being served on Saturday night to a West Walnut street exquisite, whom the excessive expenditures of Christ mas week had reduced to cheap res taurant, he showed displeasnre with the manner in which things were served. The constant rattle of dishes on the hard tables and the believing of the walters as they announced their orders to the cooks at the end Of the room made him nervous. When the busy waiter deposited his order before him the young man began fusillade of Eeproach on the substantial but homely viands. Do you call that a veal cut iet?" he demanded Of the waiter. "Why, such a outlet as that is an in. suit to every self-respecting calf in Bucks county" The waiter hung his head for moment, but on recovering himself, said, in a tone of quiet apol- ogy: q really didn't intend to insult aou. sir"

 Five Farms Now Carried Tn the
 United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms fn the United States-two in California, one in Texas, one in Florida, and one in Arizona. The last named, although the youngest, is the largest and most hourishing in the country. It is To- valley seems well adapted 70 the Af- rican ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during the winter. They graze the entire year in the fields, the same as horses and cat tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The man in charge of the Arizona farm, who spent 15 years handling ostriches ill South Africa, says the birds do just as well in the Salt River valley as in Africa, and that the climatic and other conditions surrounding them here seem as we'll adapted to their requirements as those existing in their native home. After the birds attain the age of tour weeks there is little danger Of tszeir dying from natural causes for many years. IL is not positively known how long an ostrich will live under normal conditions. but there are birds on South African farms which are believed to have reached or passed the century mark, many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob ably, from their old geographites when they were children, that the female ostrich, after laying her eggs Il nest seooped out of the desert sands, cov- CTS them Up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun to hatch them. This is not the fact. The birds always pair off during the breeding season, the male bird making the nest by resting his breastbone on sne sand and turning slowly round and round, scratching the sand away with his feet until a shallow hole is made, some three feet in diameter and about foot deep. The female then lays. usu- ally, 15 eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sitting during the daytime and the male at night, except that the male allows the female about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes hei place on the nRst.--Boston Herald.
