Sharks and Divers.

Contrary to what is generally sup
posed the fully equipped modern diver
does not dread sharks in the depths
though there are cases on record
where these monsters have bitten saw
agely at the air pipe, causing a serious
leak and almost drowning the man be-
fore he could be hauled up. Sharks
are, however, VIGOROUSLY timid, and
all the experienced diver has to do to
brighten them away is to open one of
the air valves in his dress and cause a
stream of bubbles to rise up all around
him, whereupon the tiger Of the deep
will make off in abject terror. A far
more real danger is getting entangled

The Horses Power Of Smell.

The horse will leave musty hay I'M
touched in his bin, however hungry.
He will not drink Of water objection
able to his questioning sniff or from a
bucket which some odor makes often
slve however thirsty. His intelligent
nostril will widen, culver and query
over the daintiest bit offered by the
fairest Of hands, with coaxings that
would make a mortal shut his eyes and
swallow a nauseous mouthful at d
gulp. A mare is never satisfied by
either sight or whinny that her colt Is
really her own until she has a certain
nasal certificate to the fact. A blind
horse, now living, will not allow the
approach Of any stranger without
showing signs of anger not safely to
be disregarded. The distinction Is evil

at a considerable distance. Blind
horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly
about a pasture without striking the
surrounding fence. The sense of smell
informs them of its proximity.-Horse

The Wrono Girl.

After a whole year Of married bliss
young man named Hahn, living at
Volosca, Dalmatia, discovered that he
had not married the girl he intended.
When he proposed to her he mistook
her for her twin sister, who so re-
sembles her that they can scarcely be
distinguished, and he did not realize
his error until he began calling her by
her Christian name instead Of by the
terms Of endearment he had hitherto
used.
