DIVING FOR DEAD SEA SALT
Work That Is Probably as Ancient
as the Human Race
Itself.

The awful desolation of the Dead
sea, which lies nearly 1900 feet below
the level of the Mediterranean, is broken
here and there by the salt divers, whose
work is probably as ancient as the hui
man race itself.
From remotest antiquity, says the
Technical World Magazine, the salt of
the Dead sea has been collected and
brought to the Jerusalem market, where
it is used for curing hides and for domes-
tic purposes. Dead sea water contains
over 25 per cent. of solid substances, of
which seven per cent. is chloride OF
sodium, or common salt.
The Dead sea contains no living crea-
ture. Sea fish put into its waters speed
lily die. Not single boat navigates it's
strange waters, nor is there any sign
of life, save the isolated parties of salt
divers, who scrape and slowly amass
their glistening heaps of crystal near
the mouth of the Jordan.
When sufficient cargo is made ready
a long string of camels crosses the
desert, and the salt is loaded up into
panniers, or ''shwerries," and taken
into Jerusalem, where it finds a ready
market.
Salt, as is well known, has been used
as currency from time immemorial, just
as bricks of tea are used to-day in GEN.
trail Asia, especially in the borderland
of China and Siberia.

FLY-CATCH!NG MOUSE.
Entertainment Which Tiny Rodent

in Brooklyn.

One day a rather novel spectacle
was offered in the window of the
largest crockery and bric-a-brac estab-
lishment in Brooklyn. A small but
very fat mouse, with look Of we'll
fed contentment, was capering about
among the cut-glass dishes and parian
statuettes as though in training for a
trick act in a miniature circus. A
few moments observation, however,
developed the fact that there was
method 10 his apparent madness. He
was catching flies for dinner. Patent

where compared to Mr.. Mouse. Watch
ing until an unsuspicious fly ambled
within his reach, ne would capture II
with a lightling-like motion. Then
sitting on his launches, with the I'm.
fortunate buzzer in his front paws, he
peeled of the wings and legs as &
squirrel shucks a nut, and ate ths
body with infinite relish. In Is min
utes the little rascal caught and att
flies at the rate of two a minute. The
whole window-seat was covered with
wings and legs, which showed that he
must have been at work for long

GIRLS WITHIN DELAYS WEDDING
OF A YOUNG COUPLE.
AFFIANCEO HUSBAND is SENT TO AFRICA
Southern Miss Insists That None But Preacher
Who Performed Marriage Ceremony for Her
Parents Can Tie Knot for Them
Lover Now Seeking Him.

Just because the bride insists on be-
Ing married by the same minister who
performed her mothers wedding cere-
mony, the great event has been post
poned and a worldwide search is at
present going on for the man.
Rev. John w. Miley is the missing
preacher. Nineteen years ago he re-
sided at Crowley, hamlet near Will
mington, N. C. The United States has
been searched from end to end and the
frantic lover is now preparing for trip
to the Congo in search Of him. The trail
OF the minister has been followed to In
dia-and now to Africa-with faint
hopes. Four Rev. Mr.. Mileys have been
discovered, but Rev. Mr.. Miley who
united Mason Hinshaw and Miss Fred
erick Willis in marriage 10 years ago
is lost.
And because Rev. Mr.. Miley cannot be
found the marriage of Davis Pickens to
Miss Liza Hinshaw cannot De cele-
brated.

foreman, has left Carolina and started
to search the world to find the missing
minister. bring him back If he is alive,
or to produce absolute proof of his
death.
All this trouble, and travel, and search
results from the fact that Miss Hinshaw
refuses to become Mrs. Pickens unless
the minister who married her father and
mother also can perform the ceremony
for her.
Miss Hinshaw is handsome, win
some, clever and witty girl, the daugh-
ter of well-to-do planter; and her
mother. who was known through all the
Roanoke section 20 years ago as 1.-The
beautiful Miss Willis" left heritage of
beauty to the girl. The mother died
when Miss Hinshaw was IL years old,
and the girl remembered the tall, dark
haired, dark-eyed mother, whom she
had loved so passionately, and even
after years she remembered her moth
er ; romance as her mother had told it
to her.
Mothers Romantic Marriage.
Hinshaw and his wife had been mar
ried under romantic circumstances.
They were engaged secretly for months,
and, although there were no objections
to the match except on account OF
youth, they ran away. They did not
elope exactly, but one beautiful evening
while driving through the wooded coun-
try they came to Crowley, and there
the young man proposed that they stop
and get married. They inquired the
way to the home of the minister, and
were directed to the house in which
Rev. John W. Miley then lived, and they
were married and returned home to re-
ceive the forgiveness OF their parents
and the congratulations of their friends.

tention TO Miss Hinshaw, or, indeed. to
any other girl. She had seen him when
he came home at vacation times attired
in his gray uniform, with the quadruple
rows of brass buttons, and had fallen in
love with the uniform. So when they
met it was lease" from the first, and
they were engaged before he went bacl,
to school to finish his career.
They did not keep their engagement
secret, and they had no trouble in get
ting the consent of "Mase" Hinshaw,
who knew and liked the handsome son
of his old friend.
About year ago the young lover
asked his fancee to set the date. And
right there the trouble commenced. She
consented to be married on May II, but
stipulated that Rev. Mr.. Miley must per-
not care who performed the ceremony,
laughingly asked why she wanted that
particular minister instead of the home
preacher. And she told him the story
of her mothers romance and of the
childish VOW she had made that she
would be married by the same man.
So he told her that he would make the
arrangement.

among tho old inhabitants until ne
found one who remembered that Miley
had gone down somewhere near Spar
tanburg, s. c., to preach. Pickens went
there and learned that the church had
sent Miley as missionary minister into
the hill country of the western end OF
the state.
BY that time it was April, and the date
set for the wedding was approaching
rapidly. Pickens wrote, appealing to
the church authorities to give him some
trace of the man.
The latest record they had of him
was 1896, when an entry in the books
showed that he had resigned a charge
near Murphy, and no further trace OF
him was found.
Pickens hurried to Murphy. Tho
parishioners remembered that Rev. Mr..
Miley had been offered a missionary po-
sition-they thought in some northern
state-and had accepted. Then Pickens,
getting panic stricken, placed adver-
ing for information regarding the min
ister
The advertisements brought results.
He found four ministers named J. w.
Miley and nine ministers named Miley
whose first names were not definite. The
week before the date set for the wedding
he received a telegram saying that the
man he sought was preaching near Bel
fast, o. He wrote and telegraphed, hop
ing to the last minute that he might be
able to get the minister there, and then
received a reply from the Belfast Miley
stating that he never had lived in the
south at all, but would be proud and glad
to come on and perform the ceremony.
For time Pickens hesitated whether
or not to bring on the Belfast minister
and pass him off as the Miley who was
wanted. Then, realizing that discovery
of such trick might wreck the life hap
piness Of both, he abandoned The idea,
and, going to Miss Hinshaw, he pleaded
with her to give up her plan, and to let
the home minister perform the eere-
mony.
Wedding Is Postponed
Her trousseau was all prepared, the
preparations made, the negroes all ex-
cited over the coming marriage OF
"Missie" Liza, but the girl refused, and
the wedding was postponed.
No definite date was set then, as she
promised to marry him as soon as he
found the minister.
Pickens then sent an appeal to the
officers of every church organization in
the country asking for information. He
advertised again. Finally he learned
that Rev. Mr.. Miley had served as a
in India and then had been
sent to Africa.
Whether it is the same minister or not
Pickens could not learn. He had, ac-
cording to the church authorities, in
herited quite sum of money and had
volunteered for the work, paying his
own expenses and acting as sort of freq
lance missionary.
Pickens cabled American and English
consuls, wrote to resident missionaries,
tried in every means to get into COM
munication with his man, or the one he
supposed to be his man, but never could
hear directly. He finally learned that
the minister was among the natives in
the French Congo region.
Now he is preparing to start for the
Congo But there are those who declare
