EXPERTS DIVE
 F1R COINS

As We drew in and came to anchor we saw descending upon us a fleet of small. curious boats filled with half naked men. We suspected now that Madeira was a cannibal island and pre- pared for the worst It was not quite as bad as that They merely wanted us to throw coins over into the liquid azure which they call water in this country. whorcupon their divers would try to intercept the said coins some where between the top and bottom of the sea. We didn't believe they could do 1t. but We tried and. as usual, found that the other fellow knew his own game better than we did.
 If those ampb.bians did not always get the coins they generally did. They could see them perfectly 10 that amaz- ing water, and they could dive like seals. Some of the divers were mere chidreu-Door, lean creatures who stood up in their boats and shouted and implored and swung their arms in a wild invitation to us to fling our money overheard. But they did not want small w0Doy-0t least not very small money. They declined to dive for pennies Perhaps they could only dis

A FAMOUS
 SENTENCE

The remark which Steele made in reference. as is generally supposed, to Lady Elizabeth Hastlngsg has often been quoted and almost as often quot. ed incorrectly. Steele wrote, "Though her mien carries much more invitation than command, to behold her i8 an immediate check to loose behavior; to love her was a liberal education" There are two curious misQuotadon5 of this bright and famous sentence, which Thackeray declared to Do "tho finest compliment to a woman that perhaps ever was offered" Ono 10 in the essay on Pope contained rin1 James Russell LowelIs "NTy Study Win dows." Was 1t not in this age" BayB Mir Lowell. "that loose Dick Steele paid to his wife the finest compliment ever paid to woman when he said that to know herswaS1Giiberal educa- tionT" Here are two distinct errors committed by so careful writer aB Mir Lowell. Yet he is not alone In this. Arthur Helps in hisromauce fOi Real nah" has this sentences "Steels also did not III describe, though brledy, the charm of being with a woman whom he greatly admired when h5 said that to be much with her was in itself a liberal educaton.' We arc also told that Leigh Hunt once in quot ing the remark incorrectly -aBcribed it to Congreve. Here, then, are three dis- tInct writers of high rank who have shown how in a moment of carole5J composition they wero led aEtr0y by an inaccurate remembranco:' They had no desire to misQuote their author

Another mans opinion was that it

that whoever would partake of the
