A Miser's Last Wfsh.

A Greek died in the small town of
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims Of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks Of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
of the funeral. A good hearted Greek
went to see her in her affiiction and,
pointing to the body, said he would
give her better coat to bury the man
in. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened, told her
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank
notes which the miser wished to take

Deafness Frequent Injury to

Except for those who have an espe-
cial aptitude for it-and they are few
high diving is dangerous pastime to
indulge in," said diving expert the
other day. "a good diver may coca
sionally lose his balance, but, being
generally cool headed, &e can regain it,
or at any rate sufficiently so as to pre-
vent injury to himself.
"In 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 sufficiently
to get it we'll between the arms. The
result is they receive some tremendous
blows on the head, and if the water is
struck bit sideways the ear gets most
Of the conclusion, and the result will
frequently be a rupture of the mem
brane Of the tympanum. A good pre-
ventive for such an accident is to place
in the ears little medicated wool or
cotton dipped in oil.
Another injury to health caused fire.
quently by diving arises from getting
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 cleanliness. 1 have
often seen toys, for instance, dive into
water at places where it was absolute
~ filthy from the evacuation of drain
age into it. The danger to health, es-
pecially to those with not overstrong
constitutions, can readily be seen.
1.-THE 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 a second or two
at a time, and if the dive is an unusu-
ally high one he will in nine cases out
of ten give up the struggle in trying to
retain his breath and invariably, too,
just before his head reaches the sur
face. The result not infrequently is
that the water that has escaped into
his lungs and stomach is far more than
is good for him, and to many it is posi-
lively injurious.
'The best thing I know of to bring
one quickly to the surface in high div
ing is to have piece of cork fastened
under each armpit. Corks weighing
four ounces each are sufficiently strong
in buoyancy for man Of $50 pounds
in weight. There are many devices by
which the corks can be kept secured
under the armpits. Perhaps the sim
plest is to sew each cork into a tight
fitting canvas or cotton bag and then
again sew each bag on to the bathing
suit by couple of strands, allowing
the strands to run over the shoulders.
"Those with weak hearts," the expert
added, cannot be too strongly advised
against high diving. The spring, the
rush through space, the break and the
entering. and cleaving of the water are
altogether too exciting for weak hearts,
and especially so in cold weather.

her beauty and graces. But Marqurda
came on business and not to make
love. She was not an inquisitive WO-
man, but had been perplexed with
several important questions involving
her administrative policy and the well
fare of her subjects. Hearing of the
SURPRISING wisdom of the King Of
Jerusalem she made the long journey
to seek his advice and counsel Sol
omon received her with appropriate
honors and listened attentively as she
related her troubles. His wise ad-
vice was accepted with respect and
gratitude, which soon ripened into
love, and before her return to her own
country she bore him a son. AS she

CHURCHES HAVE GOOD YEAR
Religious Bodies and Charities Share
I'm the General Activity
and Progress.

In the religious and charitable work OF
the city and to those educational institu-
tions connected with the churches the
twelve months just closed have brought
much material advancement. Among all
the improvements made the new building
of the Omaha Theological seminary Of the
Presbyterian church involved the greatest
expenditure. The building, a three-story
brick, $50 feet in length and costing more
than s45, 900, stands on a six-acre plot Of
ground on Twentieth street between EN-
nett and Spencer. The cornerstone was
laid in May.
The Roman Catholic Church Of the Sacred
Heart at Twenty-second and Binney
streets was completed, furnished and dedi-
Gated during the month OF June, after two
years work. The church is Of pinkish-
gray stone, seats 800 and cost $24, 1000.
The new Roman Catholic Church OF st.
Mary Magdalene at the corner of Nine
teenth and Dodge streets is nearing COM
%pletion. The cornerstone was laid in June
and the dedication will probably take place
in February. The building and parish
house are of gray hydraulic brick and Bed
ford stone. The old church and lots were
sold to Hayden Bros. for $780, 900 and the
new ground cost $1,000.
The Polish Roman Catholic parish Of
South Omaha has erected a two-story frame
church. with school rooms under the audi
forum, at a cost Of $1,000. Work was be-
gun September 8.
Ground was broken late in the year for
the new Grace Baptist church at Tenth and
Arbor streets. The old building was moved
to the rear. The estimated cost Of the
sanctuary is 5000.
The Monmouth Park congregation Of the
Methodist Episcopal church in July dedi-
Gated a new building at SASS Larrimore
street which cost them $4,000 and which
took the place OF the former structure, de-
stroyed by a heavy wind in the spring OF
the year.
Brownell hall was much improved during
the summer, the north wing being furnished
and library being fitted out and FIRE es-
capes added.
The Clifton Hill Presbyterian church was
moved from the center OF the block to new
lots at the corner OF Forty-fourth and Grant
streets, raised another story and practically
rebuilt, at q cost OF several thousand dol
lars.
The Bohemian Bretheren Of the Presby-
terrain church rededicated their building at
Fifteenth and Hickory streets in February
after practically rebuilding IL. Knox church
Of the same denomination was renovated to
the extent Of about $4,000. A parsonage was
built for the pastor Of the Walnut Hill
Methodist Episcopal church at Thlrty-hrst
and Charles streets. Hanscom Park Metho-
