BLlNDING A SHARK.
How n Pearl Diver Escaped n vora-
cfous Man Enter.


A successful diver must possess great
courage and nerves of steel. Such a
man connected with large wrecking
company was visiting some years ago
the pearl fisheries In the gulf of Cali
fornla. where sharks abounded. On
one of his trips In quest of the pearl
oyster lie had Il narrow escape from a
fearful death.
lie 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 about and caught sight of a
huge shovel nosed shark watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near
the diver was a large rocx. He moved
quickly to the other side of 1t, hoping
to dodge the ferocious monster. hut the
maneuver did not work. The shark
watched every movement, changing his
position by slight motion of his pow
erful tail.
Time was precious, and the diver
conceived 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 min
ute.
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 voraclous man eater made n
rush for him.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause, Generally

| Headache is a symptom, an indication
| OF arrangement or disease in some Or
gan, and the cause OF the headache Is
| difficult to locate because go many dis
eases have headache as q prominent
| symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble. kidney disease,
lung trouble, eye strain or i'll fitting
| glasses all produce headaches, and IL
we could always locate the organ which
is at fault the cure of obstinate head
| aches would be q much simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache, pain back OF
the eyes and in forhead, the cause Is
now known to be catarrh of the head,
and throat; when the headache is To-
Gated in back OF head and neck Il is
often caused from caturrh of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes prompt

There Is ut present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
