DANGEROUS DIVING.
Plunging from High Places At
 tended with Danger.
The Uninttinted Liable to Deafness
 and Serious Injury-vital Points Given by an Expert .- Diver.

Except for those who have an espc- eial aptitude for it-and they are, few high diving is a dangerous past1me to indulge in,' said diving expert the other day, reports the Philadelphia Ledger. "A good diver may occasion, ally lose his balance but, being gen. orally cool-headed, he can regain It. or at any rate sufficiently so to prevent injury to himself
 Many of our young men and women who go to the seaside in the summer for the bathing to be had come away permanently injured for life by having recklessly indulged in high diving, and few of them, as rule, are able to ex- plain how they received their injuries Tn the majority of cases deafness IS the most frequent injury inflicted by diving. The cause of this is that few find it easy to drop the head sufficient" ly to get 1t we'll between the arms. The result is they receive some tre- mendous blows on the head, and II the water is struck bit sideways the ear gets most of the concussion and the result will frequently be rupture of the membrane of the tympanum. A good preventive for such an accident is to. place in the ears a little med1- cated wool or cdotton dipped in oil.
 Another injury to health caused frequently by diving arises from get ting large quantities of water into the lungs. The extent of the harm done in cases of this sort depends on the condition of the water as to it's cleani- ness I have often seen boys, for in stance, dive into the water at places where it was absolutely filthy from the evacuation of drainage into 1t. The danger to health, especially to those with not overstrong constitu- tions, can readily be seen.
 ssThe higher the dive the longer, of course, will be the duration under wa ter. Now, an inexperienced diver IS rarely able to hold his breath under water for more than 8 second or two at time, and if the dive is an un- usually high one he will. in nine cases out of ten, give up the struggle in try ing to retain his breath, and invari- ably, too, just before his head reaches the surface. The result not infre- guently is that the water that has es- capped into his lungs and stomach Is far more than is good for him, and ro many it is positively injurious.
 'The best thing know of to bring one quickly to the surface in high I diving Is to have piece of cork fas- tened under each armpit CorkS weighing four ounces each are sufh' ciently strong in buoyancy for mar of 150 pounds in weight. There arc many devices by which the corks cal be kept secured under the armpits Perhaps the simplest is to sew each cork into tight-ftting canvas or cot l ton bag and then again sew each bas on to the bathing suit by couple oi strands, allowing the strands to TUT ! over the shoulders.
 Those with weak hearts, the ex- 1 pert added, cannot be too strongly advised against high diving. Int spring, the rush through space, ths break and the entering and cleavins of the water are altogether too excit
 ing for weak hearts, and especially & in cold weather"

Room Papered with Envelopes.

A most quaint and novel way of pa- pering room has lately been invented by young lady of more originality than taste. She has adorned the walls of her special sanctum with the en- velopes of all the letters she has re- ceived for the last few years. Theso are, of course, of every conceivable shape. color and size, and also bear all kinds of stamps and handwritings. so the effect is most odd. She has pursued no plan in regard to them, but has pasted them on the walls in all kinds of positions as soon ass she has received them. The effect is startling, but it cannot be said to be in any way artistic
